The food used to be much better. I had ordered a lemonade which had a weird taste. Then I ordered chicken enchiladas, it tasted like there was candy in the chicken and the sauce had no flavor. Not appetizing. The waitress was kind and attentive. read more

I really wanted to love this place but it was just ok. I'm not sure I would come back giving that there are so many options out in Cali. The aguachile was straight lemon, no spice and no flavor. Would not recommend. The oysters did taste very fresh so that was the good thing. My mom and sister had the mojarra Fríta which was good but the rice, beans and fries were not good at all. The rice tasted old and was crusty hard. The flavor was pure tomato sauce. The fries were not seasoned at all and the beans were ok. The staff was very nice and attentive. The music was way to loud, we found ourselves screaming to be able to hear each other. I think the place could be better but for what we tried it just wasn't worth it. read more

We stumbled on this spot for a Michelada. Everything was Fresh and delicious. The Miche was very well done. A nice balance of savory and beer. It's a Traditional mariscos restaurant with a wide range of seafood dishes and traditional plates. We really enjoyed our Micheladas, tostada and camarones al mojo de aho. The tortillas weee slightly charred like I like them. The salsas that accompany the plates are made in house and very good. read more

Mazatlan Restaurant - My burnt carne - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

You ever been somewhere and felt uneasy and like u had to look over your shoulder? If you have ever felt like this, it's exactly how we felt when we were sitting here. We came with some friends to have dinner and it definitely wasn't a family friendly establishment more of a I just got out of work and I'm going to the local restaurant to have some beers with my buddies. There were a few men that probably should've got cut off sooner. We tried to make the best of it but once we saw the owner standing in the restaurant watching these drunk men and us trying to enjoy our drinks, we knew we had overstayed our welcome. The michelada was delicious but was not worth sticking around for food. Will not be back. read more

The ceviche and the marlin tacos were wonderful! So glad I went - and will be coming back A LOT!!!!

No stars what so ever. Went in cause Google said it was 4 in a half stars. Hell no! Crap and over priced. Bought a large, Large Camaron Coktel. It was a 12 oz cup only filled maybe 10oz. No avocado, caldo tastes like oregano . No limes or napkins inside the bag. Just chips, what am I gonna do with chips? Waitress was sooo rude. I know we are in some sort of recession but this was horrible. Skip this place and head to perihuete. Never again! read more

Not a fan. Enchiladas are not great. Sauce is An orange shade and does not have a great Tomato flavor is that's what it was. Too much cheese. Salad was not fresh leaf for sure. Ceviche was okay - shrimp. No thanks maybe for another. read more

OH My Gahh! So I've been in search of a place to have caldos in the chilly days. I came to Mazatlan and had one of their soups and I'm glad I did. The soup was a good portion and I enjoyed every bite. It has sazón! The ambiance is welcoming and the service was great. Everyone with a smile and made you feel at home. I continue to get my hot soups/caldos from Mazatlan. Enjoy!! read more

Restaurant did not smell to well as if the seafood had gone bad. We had different dishes me and my family but my mother had the oysters which did not sit so well. She ended up with food poisoning and I'm quite sure our initial reaction to the smell of the restaurant should have been our first indication of something being off. read more

Michelada obviously had the fake lemon juice. Mix was gross. Shrimp cocktail was dirty.

I've been craving ceviche and this was recommended to me. So I went and ordered the shrimp ceviche. The ceviche was just ok. The shrimp was diced and it was more vegetables than shrimp. I good ceviche to me is when the Seafood is cut in big chunks. The one I got were diced and although it was a lot, it had more tomatoes and onions than shrimp. This was a true hole in the wall, parking sucked but the service was good and the beer was cold. It was a bit expensive too. For the shrimp ceviche it was $14. This will be my last resort if I crave ceviche again.. read more

Wow! New to the neighborhood (just moved from the paved side of Santa Ana), I've been looking for two things...A good Mexican place and a Mariscos spot...looks like I may have found both here in Mazatlan Restaurant Tacos de Governador (steak and shrimp)...This may be the best taco I've ever eaten...This meal... As you walk in, before you place your drink order you are given a small cup of soup with a whole shrimp in it, along with chips and salsa, onions, cilantro, extra sauces, etc...I really recommend the taco de governador & the taco de marlin (just what you think it is)...it's served with a small side of beans. The flavors...even before you add these complimenting sauces...Wow... The coctels are great too! Mazatlan Restaurant, you've made my weekly rotation... Beers $3.25... read more

The food is really good and they have great service. The chips and salsa are also very good.

What a dining experience! I've been wanting to check this place out because of the great experiences that I had at another location, in a new center that has since closed. This location is the "original". This location was DEFINITELY a different experience. You know those hole in the wall places that you drive by that are either hidden gems or places you would never set your foot in to? This is one of those places. What kind of dining experience did I have? Getting a seafood soup as a standard appetizer? "Nice" Getting big ass shrimp in the soup? "Very nice" Getting big ass shrimp with the head still attached and the eyes looking up at you as if to say 'Why me?' " Mazatlan nice!" Watching the Laker game with a cold Corona in your hand? "Yes!" Wathcing the Laker game with a cold Corona along with chips and awesome salsa? "I could get used to this!" Watching the Laker game with a cold Corona in your hand, eating chips and salsa and wondering 'Why there is a 3 foot huarache on the wall?' "Wait, how many of these things have I had?" Going to a restaurant with an friendly and attractive wait staff? "Nice" Going to a restaurant with a friendly, attractive wait staff dressed in impossibly short skirts? "Interesting..." Going to a restaurant where the friendly, attractive wait staff in impossibly short skirts clean the restrooms at the end of the nigh? "Surreal" Overall it is an interesting place...very Mexican...please don't take offense to that...I don't mean that as a slight...lot's of beer, women dressed provactively, sports on the big screen...not unlike Hooters or numerous other places...just with Mexican food instead of fried crap. The staff will likely speak to you in Spanish unless and until you speak to them in English. They are very nice though. The food is good but not great. I had chicken enchiladas and chicken tacos....rice, beans and a "salad" on the side of course....lots of chips with 4 types of salsa to choose from...lime and onion on the side. Overall, very fun...would have been better if the Lakers won, though. read more

Great Experience! Service is very friendly/attentive and great eye-candy! It is a very casual spot with delicious authentic Mexican food. You MUST try the following: -fish ceviche -marlin tacos -tacos gobernador -tacos de carnitas/chicharron -guacamole salsa -request thick tortilla chips and REFRIED BEANS (to die for!) -PESCADO ZARANDEADO You have the option to get small or large sized tacos. I personally prefer the small tacos. The tortilla is slightly toasted on the grill and it has CHEESE!!! Try it with their salsas-de piquin, habanero, and soy sauce mix-my personal fave! Their beans are sooo authentic! They taste just like my moms Sinaloense Refried beans and go perfectly with the thick freshly fried tortilla chips. The pescado zarandeado is full of flavor!!! MUST try! Enjoy your food with their extensive Mexican beer selection! Cheers! Provecho! read more

I've only been here once, but just from that I can already tell I'm going to want to come again. I came with my boyfriend just off of a whim that we wanted seafood. I live near here and always used to pass by on my way to the dentist, doctor, grocery store, etc. I looked it up on yelp and saw some pretty good reviews, so I suggested we try it. My boyfriend LOVES seafood, especially coctel. So we both ordered that. I also ordered a taco de marlin just to try it because I had never really heard of it. It was really good! We also really liked the coctel. It was a little different, but I liked it. My boyfriend also though it was good (got his stamp of approval) and I trust his judgment on seafood. The service was pretty great. There was limited parking, but we made it work. When we got in, we were attended to pretty well. It was busy and there was a game going on, but the staff was nice and kept us updated on wait time. When we got seated, we received great service and got all our questions answered. I would definitely recommend this place. It is a "hole in the wall" but I give it two thumbs up. I always hated walking by there though because of the liquor store next to it (I've run into creepy dudes) but overall it's not too bad. I've been meaning to take my mom there so hopefully she'll love it too. read more

I was in LA for work and was driving home to SD when hunger struck. I got my iPHONE out and see what was around me. I found Mazatlan Restaurant and decided to try it. The place is a typical Mexican seafood restaurant in a little shopping plaza. Don't come here for the ambiance nor to see and be seen. I got camarones a la diabla. It was good, but what was strange to me was the mushrooms in the dish. This dish does not come with mushrooms. When was the last time you had mushrooms in any of your favorite Mexican dishes? I think they were adding mushrooms to the dish to add volume to it, rather than adding more shrimp. Old restaurant trick. Anyway, two things I loved there: The beans were divine, light in color and freshly done. Absolutely the best beans I've had in a while and the green salsa for the chips. Everything else I tried was just a'ight. read more

Alright well my dad wanted to try this place because he heard that it was good from a coworker. He ordered the medium shrimp botana to try it out, was surprised to see it was $28 with tax.

En buena onda que mal servicio. Alguna vez me gusto ir a comer con mi familia pero anoche me pedí un caldo y sabia a pura agua y picaba como lumbre y el cocinero en lugar de aceptar su ineficacia sugiere arreglarme el mismo plato !! Que iba hacer? Ponerle más agua !!! Si ya sabia a pura agua y para rematar pedimos otro platillo diferente y las meseras como que si me estaban haciendo un favor . Háganme el favor por Dios .. para no regresar nunca más read more

Good food might take a little but worth it cause the food is super good super good Michelada

Ordered by phone. When I showed up my order was sitting on the cooks counter. The waitress lackadaisically asked me to wait. In fact all the waitresses seemed lackadaisical. While waiting I noticed the cook was wearing a mask with his nose exposed. The nose is where the covid virus settles so you might as well not even wear a mask. Anyway, I waited over five minutes to be helped with my food sitting on the counter. Of course by the time I got home the food was cold. My wife indicated that her shrimp was raw. The menu indicated my wife's meal came with a salad, which was non-existent. Food lacked flavor. This was once one of our favorite spots, but it has gone way downhill. It seems the restaurant has their regular clientele so they don't need to try to please anymore. Seems like most restaurants are that way now. Eventually. I think most people will decide to cook at home. read more

STAY AWAY! First of all, it's in a very shady area. There's not much parking available and the apartments across from it use up all the street parking. Then, they have the waitresses wearing mini skirts and treat them as if they were little girls. It is not a family friendly restaurant. Food was so unappetizing. I knew the moment they brought out the carne asada, I would not eat one bit of it. It had puddles of oil on it and when I tried it, absolutely no flavor/taste. If I could rate this 0 stars, I would! Horrible area and terrible food. read more

Great experience at Mazatlan Restaurant. Not fancy when it comes to decore but when it comes to very good Mexican sea food that doesn't matter. Service was fast and efficient from the girls. I recommend the fish tacos (Ensenada style) and aguachiles very much. From someone who eats a ton of sea food I can tell you the flavors are there when it comes to authenticity. read more

The worst place to come and eat,both my sons got so sic from their tacos de marlin.the had vomiting diarrea and stomach pain.dont go there

This is a favorite for a friend of mine and I was lucky enough to be introduced to this place. A small mariscos place whose food is full with flavor. I totally recomend the taco de governador (shrimp and beef). Its marinated to pure perfection and cannot be duplicated. There is no need to add onions or cilantro, its perfect as is. The taco de marlin was a little on the fishy side for me. Tacos are served with a side of beans which are excellent. Oh, almost forgot about the soup they serve prior to this meal. Shrimp soup, and its an while shrimp! Its awesome! Woulnt be a mariscos place without it. Their coctels are great as well. I definetly am a fan! read more

Excellent service! They give chips and salsa (green and red - my favorite). Authentic Sinaloa style food. Excellent Marlin tacos served with beans and the tacos gobernador are so tasty! Add their homemade Salsa Negra and you're in for a treat! Delicious... I had the tostada mixta with their home made Piquín sauce. Perfect level of spiciness and adds so much taste to your already fresh seafood. If you're in the mood for something spicy try the Camarones Cucarachas. read more

Two reviews of five stars a piece do not do this place justice. This place is damn good. You would be foolish to not give it a try. But brush up on your spanish. But then again, they get quite a good amount of business as it is. It was ridiculous of me to think I found a new "spot" to eat at when I told my friends about it. My friends, Mexicanos, already been there and done that place...though they did tell me it is a favorite spot of theirs. I should've known better. My friends are very serious about their Mexican food and it's gotta be the real deal to be considered. A high school buddy of mine took me there. We were already in Paramount and wanted to find something for dinner. He said he knew of a place that had good carne asada...this coming from a guy who used to own a carniceria with his dad. We pull up to Mariscos Mazatlan, and I'm thinking good steak here? I said, "hey fool, this is mariscos." He says, "I know, but they got good carne asada here too." Okay, then. I ended up seeing something on the menu that I don't normally see...marlin. And they got burrito mojado de marlin ($9.99). I didn't even need to study that menu anymore, I knew what I was gonna get. My buddy ordered burrito mojado de carne asada ($6.00). The burritos come with either red or green sauce on top. I got the red. He got the green. I didn't try his food or anything like that, but the green sauce on his burrito looked real good. He said that's what he always gets. I'm a believer. The red sauce on my burrito was really good, and the marlin, beans, and rice filling the burrito was delicious. I haven't had the chance to go back, but have been craving that food since four weeks ago. If you do decide to check the place out, don't trip on the neighborhood based on it's looks. It's not bad at all. Trust me, I've seen a lot worse. There's a small parking lot, good service, clean restrooms, it's a clean establishment, and friendly patrons. read more

Small place, full of men, one quick look around made me realize this could be much the same clientele you would find at a local gentlemens club at happy hour, which made me feel bringing my mother was a bad idea. The waitresses spend time flirting with the male patrons and snacking rather than taking orders. The menu is mainly focused on seafood. However I wasn't feeling seafood this particular day and had the Enchiladas De Pollo, nothing outstanding, and the rice and beans were OBVIOUSLY re-heated, some of the rice was still hard, felt like telling them to put it back in the microwave for a minute or two. . Eh I doubt I'll return. read more

I have nothing to say but good things about mazatlan. I grew up in this place so I've pretty much tried almost every dish. Every dish is great and the owners are the best owners I've ever met. They always greet their customers and make sure everything's in order. MUST TRY TACOS DE MARLIN those are the best tacos ever created by man & only mazatlan serves them from what I've seen. The sarandiado is also one of my all time favorites and their oysters are so fresh and delicious. read more
