We live in Newport but heard great things about this Mazatlan in Depoe Bay. The one in Newport sucks so we were excited to try this one out as we are desperate to find good Mexican food on the coast. We were so excited by the menu as it had the typical Mexican fare but also had some exotic choices as well. It had a wide range of food and quite a bit with octopus.

I had the enchilada combination plate; big plate and they filled it up! My partner had the Marisco Especial (or something like that); shrimp, octopus. I tasted that. It was delicious! It was a Tuesday night, last night, on February 20th. It seemed like most other restaurants had taken the night off or closed early, I don't know. I do know that I will be going back to Mazatlan when...
