Restaurant Mariscos Bahía — Restaurant in Sinaloa

Update: would go back again because of the service, drinks, etc but I would not order steak or meat there again. It was was the worst cut of beef I’ve ever had and I can do a bit chewy from time to time. The mushrooms and onions that came with it were great! As well as the fries. The shrimp was in an amazing garlic butter sauce, and the rice was nice and fluffy. Below is my previous review.

A must try!

I consider myself a true foodie and chose this location for a late lunch because the reviews reflected a friendly family run business with good food in a nice setting with varying spice levels.

It was not busy at that time. We were greeted warmly. Service was attentive. Everything was priced reasonably and there’s a HAPPY HOUR on liquor!

I chose the Shrimp aguachile with a medium spice level. It was not only the best I’ve had here so far, it was fresh. Not only that, I inquired on whether I could customize other items or ask for dishes not on the menu. Management said if they have the ingredients, they would definitely try! Wow.

The Pulpo was tender and the mahi mahi traditional ceviche was a large portion.

Can’t wait to go back. Should be on more of these foodie lists. I tried some of these fancy places with a view people rave about where I didn’t care for the...

Mariscos Bahia is one of those special restaurants you need to put on your list! Watch the sunset on Olas Altas and walk one block to the restaurant for dinner. We sat in the beautiful outdoor courtyard and ordered wine with our appetizer before our dinner. They have a good selection of wines, and they had a wine special the night of our visit. Alejandro was our server and he was so nice to us and explained some of the history of the restaurant that was established over 70 years ago. You know they must be doing something right! I ordered the Imperial Shrimp and was very impressed. It was excellent. Marinated and bathed in a spicy red sauce. My wife ordered the Fish Fillet Zarandeado. The chef, Miguel, came to our table and explained the different fish they had available that night so my wife could choose the type of fish she preferred. She likes a flaky white fish. Miguel said he will be happy to cook it as you like it. She was very happy. The food is prepared by chef Miguel with a 5 star presentation. Bring your friends. They will be impressed too! We will return soon to explore more items on the menu....

We wanted to find a family run, off the beaten track place to eat. That led us to Mariscos Bahia.

We ordered ceviche, which the young man said was an original recipe that his grandfather had created in the 1950s. It was served with crisp, packaged corn tortillas and crackers.

I ordered shrimp, as we understood that Mazatlan was the shrimp capital of Mexico. The young man recommended a chili sauce that he said would not be spicy. When the shrimp arrived covered in a red chili sauce, I had my misgivings. However, he was right. It was very flavorful with only the hint of spicy hot.

My husband ordered the fish of the day en papillote. The fish was mahi-mahi, and included octopus and shrimp in the package. It’s aroma when the package was opened was only surpassed by its delicious taste. Truly the star of the meal.

The meal was priced fairly given the quality of the food, presentation, quantity and friendly service.

Step away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a...
