Vista de Palma — Restaurant in Sinaloa

When we first showed up (early) to get a good seat to watch the Dia de los Muertos parade, we were told all the seats by the edge were reserved. And that it was a special day for “our people”. I’ve been coming to Mazatlan for 38 years, but I get it. We let it ride and while people came and went from the “reserved” seats, we ended up getting permission from the manager to stand in the DJ booth to watch the parade so it all ended ok. But initially we felt very snubbed and our waiter, while a nice kid, was extremely awkward all night long. The bar will leave black residue on whatever touches it (hopefully comes out of my white shirt). The music pre-DJ was unimaginative EDM. Food was very good and nice portion size. Drinks were also good. The view is fantastic. The DJ had some fun mixes of older pop/rock and EDM. Started bad but ended up being...

This place is definitely a "pay per view" bar and the view really isn't worth it. However that's not my main complaint; drinks are watered down and/or the bartender is new/inexperienced. I'm sorry my man but if you can't make a Negroni or pour a proper beer you need to find another job.

Service started off well however drinks took well over 10 minutes to be served and there were only 4 other tables when we got there. Food took an extra 35 minutes.

To too it off when we ordered the check, waitress told me that the "expected" típ was well over 20%. Gave her an evil stare and she changed her tone to "suggested" tip. Then when it came to charging the card she kept removing the card during the process si it would detect a "faulty chip" told her to stop doing that as well.

Bottom line if you do decide to come order...

This place was great! We stumbled upon it walking from Machado Plaza to the waterfront. We were seated immediately on their rooftop and the views were spectacular. There was a wide assortment of food options. We shared the hummus with bread and the sirloin tacos. The meat was so tender and juicy and not overcooked. We had several cocktails, margaritas and vodka with mineral water. Our server was attentive, his name was Brandon. He was very welcoming and provided great hospitable service. The views were to die for. Just sad I didn't get photos...
