    I am always looking for new places for lunch and Bill enjoys riding; so we took a ride up to Baytown looking for Mexican food and ended up at El Sinaloense. We received chips and salsa after sitting down at the table. The chips were very good - made from homemade tortillas, I am pretty sure. The salsas were hot and not hot. Also good. I ordered the grilled salmon with a roll and a "salad." The salad was merely lettuce with a hunk of tomato on top. But it was fresh lettuce. The salmon was delicious! It was cooked perfectly and had good flavor. It sat on a bed of rice with some grilled peppers and onions. I enjoyed the rice as well. The roll was so so. The price was very reasonable. Bill got the shrimp stuffed Pablono pepper (I think it was called a Chile Relleno, but not sure). It was flavorful. The beans were good and so was the rice. The tortillas were homemade and very good. The decor was interesting - I especially like the wooden medallion and the shell hangings. (See photos). All in all, it was a good meal and reasonable prices. The service was excellent. My only warning is for those with mobility issues. My husband is not able to walk much and uses a walker and I sometimes have to push him in his walker, so I was a bit worried about getting him in and out. The parking is across the street (any parking spaces next to the building were full - none marked handicapped the I could see). The entrance door has some large humps that interfere with wheels getting over them so I got stuck pushing him across. Lucky for us, a couple of the men guests in the restaurant helped me to get him in. There is also no handicap restroom so he could not use the facilities. Hi

    It was ok . I might go back n give it another chance . Service was good and speedy. Ambiance was clean.

    Rica comida y les recomiendo este lugar muy bien ambiente gracias por su servicio, buena música y buen ambiente

    Small shrimp cocktail. If this was the small then the large must be a full meal. The shrimp seemed endless

    My first visit here was back in 2013 as my client brought me here. I knew that I was coming back to Baytown for work and I told my client that we definitely had to come here for lunch. This place has got to be the best Mexican restaurant in Baytown if not all of Houston. I started with the small shrimp cocktail and the shrimp was plentiful. It was delicious I also had the camarones rancheros. I wish that I would have asked for a couple of more tortillas but it was also delicious. I am looking forward to eating here one more time before I leave

    Delicious! I may have been the only blue eyed Georgian in the house but this place is definitely worth stopping for. The Shrimp Cocktail was plentiful and fresh sided with a Cheese Quesadilla and a frozen Margarita is good for whatever ails you or for a great lunch!

    Oh, how I wish I could give 5 stars. The service was excellent and we never went without drinks or anything else. The chips and salsa (especially that green sauce" was to absolutely die for. I'd come back just for that. BUT, my entree was awful. It was the "diablo" shrimp with some kind of spicy sauce and cheese. Cheese on shrimp is the worst combination ever and to make matters worse, the sauce tasted more like an enchilada gravy. I ate one, took it home and threw it away. I also hated my Spanish rice but the refried beans were great. My husband opted for the shrimp Chile Relleno and said that although it was delicious, it was quite bland and needed more seasoning. He'll also probably opt out of shrimp in his favorite dish next time. The lemonade was tasty and fresh and the atmosphere was inviting and warm but I hated my food. I'll come back and try some other things but for now, I'm wary.

    The fish tasted days old, the bread was stale and the salad was a thin wet bed of ice berg and half a tomato slice. The manager would not replace the order only offer %50 off the meal even though I did not eat it.

    Finally, Nathan visited his favorite restaurant for "world  famous cocktail" as he calls it. It really was good. We will be back

    We take turns picking the restaurant we eat out at so my stepson continued to ask to go get cocktail from Sinalouense in Baytown...we Finally got to go today! Believe it or not my 13 yr old was right on. The seafood cocktail was fresh bright and had an addicting sweet finish. The fried shrimp and fish were crispy and well seasoned. The Micheladas were crisp salty and cold! We will be back to try the ceviche for sure

    The seafood soup was outstanding. I'm really glad I came here.

    Let's first begin with the entrance and wait. I am Hispanic and frequent many Spanish restaurants…read more This was the first time we felt like an outcast. I felt like an American Hispanic outcasted at an a dining establishment tailored towards Hispanics of that region. Food: no stars We did not try. Customer Service: 2 stars We waited well over an hour for our order that never arrived. We ordered tacos and sat at the bar because the host said it would be faster.

    If you're trying to decide if you should eat here, just do it for the shrimp cocktail! LOL…read moreThe shrimp cocktail is the best Mexican style cocktail I have had in the United States. You can't get this anywhere else in the country, trust me. I have lived in Washington state and Tennessee. I have also vacationed or have traveled to every state for work. This shrimp cocktail is by far the most authentic. The sauce is slightly sweet and thinner in consistency than most cocktail sauces , which makes it very light. The flavor of the sauce deliciously blends with the onion, tomato, cilantro and avocado. Once you try this you'll be hooked. They serve it with lime and crackers. However, I don't eat mine with crackers...I eat it on chips because it's lighter and pairs better together, allowing you to experience the flavors and freshness of the cocktail. They also have a tasty Michelada. They make their own mix and I would have to say their mix is my favorite I've had so far. It's very light, not tomatoey (is that a word LOL) and full of flavor. If you ask me what else I've eaten here I would tell you nothing else. So, I can't comment on the other dishes because I love their shrimp cocktail so much..that's all I get! LOL I live in League City and drive to Baytown just for the shrimp cocktail. Can you tell how much I love it? LOL I've even tried to reverse engineer the sauce but, can't get it right. LOL The atmosphere, as you can see by my picture is nothing fancy but the restaurant is always clean. They are typically a little busy during lunch but, never on a wait. The day I came it was about 3 so, it was only me and 2 other tables. I sat in the booth against the wall. They have booths along the walls with tables in the center of the restaurant. Their prices are reasonable as you can see for yourself, I posted their menu. I'm giving them 5 stars for their shrimp cocktail and Michaela.
