The Shrimp Factory — Restaurant in Sinaloa

Pretty cool place to eat, nice relaxed ambiance and the food is great. Get a locally brewed Pacifico (brewed in Mazatlán) and some shrimp tacos and you won't regret it.

The only minus star is for the service which is hectic and disorganized. Every waiter compete with each others and there is no cohesion from the restaurant manager. Furthermore we ordered ONE plate of 3 tacos and our waiter "misunderstood" (even though my wife spoke to him in a flawless Spanish with the accent from the region!) and instead got us THREE plates of 3 tacos! So we ended up with 9 tacos and a large bill that seemed too much of a struggle to contest.

So yeah it's a cool place but don't rely on the service as they will try to give you more food than you ordered just to get a heftier tip... shady practice...

Soooo good!!

Is it a tourist trap? Yes…

But trap me anytime! Their food was so good. And the servers are quick and attentive. Everyone was so friendly and ready to attend to your needs and wants. And I wanted lots of beans and rice.

We got a platter to share. Everything was perfect! The fish has that satisfying crunch followed by flakey melt in your mouth fish. The fried shrimp was AMAZING! I’m drooling just thinking about it…

I’m told the margaritas we had didn’t have much alcohol, but we got their mango and strawberry margaritas. Pretty refreshing since it was so hot out.

Loved our table location too. We were able to people watch and enjoy lunch at the same time.

It was a bit pricier since they target tourists.

But,...

Rafael was very professional as well as his staff. Second time patronizing this establishment in less than a week. This is a no frills place. You want shrimp, you'll get fresh and delicious shrimp!

Options were plenty and the prices are excellent. This may be in the heart of a tourist area but not that pushy "come here" attitude.

Loved our experience...
