you're ever in Mazatlan, it's well worth your time to make a trip to El Quelite and have lunch or dinner at El Meson de los Laureanos. And save your stomach because it will be a feast. Our family made a trip back to Mazatlan and El Quelite this year because several years ago, my husband claimed that the carne asada he had at this restaurant was the best he ever had in his life. Our entire family was so pleased and enchanted with the beautiful hacienda, the food and the service here. A week after we came back to the US, my son is still thinking about the food he had at El Meson de los Laureanos. This time, I ordered the carne asada, my husband had the beef tongue in red and in green sauce, my two sons had the roasted quail and the lamb barbecue, and my daughters shared the beef stew/birria. They were all delicious. The main course came with free aqua frescas ( we had the hibiscus drink) local cheeses, salsas, chips and a chorreada which is a tortilla topped with mole sauce and melted cheese. We also received complimentary desserts including rice pudding, dulce de leche pudding, soft coconut tamale, mango puree, stewed guava and plantain, and tapioca pudding. Afterwards we had to wander through the sprawling hacienda with its own museum and fabulous decorations. The multiple bathrooms all have characters and personalities. Even the toilets were hand made from decorated porcelain. My artsy daughter and I were delighted with the antique western and colorful Mexican decor everywhere. So glad we made this place a...
Read moreDriving by El Quelite Sinaloa México, this was our 3rd time visiting and it was 1 hr before closing time during the week. Staff was super friendly, we were welcomed with the delicious appetizers by the house, queso fresco salsa, chips and hand made fresh flour& corn tortillas, we got a whole pitcher or maracuya natural fruit flavored water, the red sauce lengua and green sauce lengua as well as the arrachera meat( carne asada). The final desert by the house was the casuelitas with mata, the tamal colado and the puré of camote and calabaza with that hint of peach, just delicious. They have very friendly rosters that like tho hangout with the guest. The atmosphere was very inviting a lot to catch your eye, and it was not hot, maybe because us winter, but we know even in winter Sinaloa is hot and humid. Any how I have a beautiful late lunch with my mom and my Madrina, the portions are very generous, very recommended, the menu is included...
Read moreLove this place. 10 stars. There is is lots of history in this place. It's like walking inside a museum with many interesting things. From vintage appliances, old pictures, unique decorations and having an inviting atmosphere. As you walk into the restaurant there are many seating tables on the first floor and the Terasa (upper floor). Walk around and continue to enjoy all the wall art, decorations, and water features and find your own seat. As soon as you find the seat you like you're greeted by the friendly servers. The food was amazing. Tried the beef tongue, beef birria, and carne asada. All the food was full of flavor and portions were the right size. I was impressed how the owner walked around the restaurant and talked the guest and made sure we were happy. Nice touch and greatly appreciated. Gracias Senor Marcos y toda su familia por atendernos y darnos...
