I had THE WORST green aguachiles here. It was literally raw shrimp, lemon juice and a bit of the green salsa. Wish I would've taken a picture. Never coming here again. read more

If you like authentic mexican seafood - than this is the place. The seafood tastes fresh, I haven't had anything I did not like. The food is really good, definitely a place I recommend. However, the area is questionable - I've never had an issue, but you do get an uneasy feeling. Also, the service is not great, this might be because the place is always so busy - it seems like your waiter/waitress is running all over the place. Definitely be prepared to wait for a table on the weekends, sometimes for 30 minutes + read more

I considered myself a loyal Sinaloa customer since at least 2007. We average 3x visits a month plus special occiasions, etc. I have introduced dozens of people (from friends, family, and co-workers). I rarely eat alone and almost always have 2-3 friends with me. The servers know what I order before I say hello. So why do I plan on never going back, and why the one star after all these years? Was the food particularily bad that day? No. Were the servers at fault? No, they are always great. I wish it was something as benign as the above, since anyone can have an off day. Ultimately I feel a sense a betrayal by being treated like a 2nd class citizen after years of loyal patronage. Is it a small thing in the grand scheme of things, of course. Most things are. It is Tuesday May 11, 2016 - we decide to stop by after work. Place is busy so we stand in line for our table. We wait ~20 minutes. People in front of us are seated. Now we are the only ones in line. Then a group of 3 customers come in behind us. To our surprise, they are seated ahead of us. Of course we were confused and I talked to the manager. He said they were there before us. It did not seem reasonable to believe that Sinaloa holds your place in line and you can leave and come back after 30 minutes. This could very well have been a simple misunderstanding - but the manager did absolutely nothing to clear anything up. How could the manager have handled that better? 1) Could have just asked us. "Excuse me, would you mind if these 3 were seated before you? They are elderly - They are the boss' friends - They are our regulars" Being asked would have changed everything. 2) After seeing that a customer got a bad perception or even the wrong perception, the least the manager could have done is apologize. An apology would have changed everything. The manager made us feel like a bunch of doofuses - you are going to treat me like a 2nd class citizen, then expect me to spend $60 and thank you for it? No. We were disrespected and that is unacceptable to us. Ok - so we walked out and plan to never return. Searching for 'Mexican Seafood' yields many good results. read more

Overpriced ceviche!!! $20 for a so-called large. 16oz to go cup for $20?!?! Still baffled. Lol

The food overall is pretty average ...but the disrectful service was garbage ...next time try making people happy instead of ignoring our orders ...we didnt even get the correct tortillas, nevermind the correct food ...shameful, laughable bussiness ...its cute for amateurs read more

You can always tell a good restaurant by the crowds the place draws. And there is always a crowd here all the way until closing time! read more

My mother and I came here for lunch. When we walked in there were only 2 tables with parties of about 6 or 8 and 2 tables of 2. Seemed like that they had already been served their meal. It took a long time for us to receive our meal. While we were waiting the restaurant filled up. A couple of times we waited quite a while for our iced teas to be refilled. I ordered the Molcajetes. My octopus was charred. I had a bite but it made me gag. However, I did like everything else that was served in the bowl. Just make sure you have something cold to drink because it is very spicy hot. The refried beans were excellent. Not sure if we will come back. Average experience. read more

Went to Restaurant Sinaloa with my wife today. Usually this is the kind of place we would drive right past and not pay attention to. We did this many times for this restaurant. Well today we went to this place for dinner. My wife ordered the arroz marinero (seafood rice). I ordered the coconut shell cocktail of shrimp, oysters, and octopus. Both were very good. My wife and I were impressed. We will definitely return here. Do not let the outside of the building or the neighborhood put you off. This is a place that we want to do well and stay in business. ------------ I want to update my review. My wife and I have been here a couple of times. My father, from Illinois, a snow bird, says the place is pretty good. He was surprised by the high quality of the shrimp. The only thing he mentioned that they may want to change is turn down the volume on the music. My mother, on the other hand, had her issues with the place being too casual. It was not her "cup of tea". read more

Order chicken flautas and the little chicken it had was very dry. It hurt a little to swallow. Not impressed! read more

Sinaloa Restaurant - Not impressed with the food. Ordered flautas and there was hardly anything inside let alone the meat inside was very dry. - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We usually love the food in this place but today was awful we ordered Grill red snapper and they brought a deep fried we order empapelado which is some kind of wrapped with a some seafood in it and no flavor. We found a piece of something where they claimed it was tomato but to me it looks like a piece of octopus tentacle or something weird. I hope they change the cook read more

Rude and unprofessional staff. Our waitress was rude from the beginning, i ordered a beer and she refused to take my military ID. She threw it back at me when we kept telling her it was a valid ID and she said only green cards and driver license were valid forms of ID. She told us to just go back and get in a condescending tone. My friend pulled out his phone to show her that it was valid and she just took his phone without his permission. She tried to prove us wrong but was very rude about it. At that point she took my ID and went to ask the manager, we decided to leave because we didn't feel comfortable to eat there anymore. At the desk she said she was able to serve us the alcohol but thats when we explained we were not staying anymore and explained to her coworkers what happened. I should have gotten her name and spoke to the manager but we left it at that. read more

I had tostadas de ceviche- tastes like it was just tomato and onion, every bite. definitely not worth it. Carne asada burrito: steak was lacking flavor- plain and bland... michelada- was watered down Clamato. Didn't taste the beer. Nothing like other Micheladas I've had- ordered a table guacamole & similar to the picture in previous post- didn't seem fresh. Chips were stale - DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. NOT WORTH IT! read more

This place is the real deal. I haven't had fresh Mexican seafood sence I was last in Mexico. Very authentic. This is obviously a locals place but we were welcomed like locals. If you want real ceviche...This the place. read more

Sorry about the length but thought all was pertinent for an accurate review. GREAT FRESH MEXICAN SEAFOOD!! We got a tip from my husbands coworker to try this place out. We went the same day because we were very excited to try some fresh seafood. It is in a location that could make some get a little uneasy... I will explain. We walked in & immediately saw that EVERYONE had a large abundance of shrimp on their plates in all different styles. One of the waitresses signaled for us to find a seat. They brought chips & salsa as soon as we sat down. We started off with drinks... my husband had the margarita which was large & tasty, and I had a pina colada which was good. When we looked over the menu we wanted to order everything! They had pictures & it all looked delicious! He ordered a fish plate with rice & salad. It was a large piece of flounder covered with a cream sauce filled with shrimp & octopus... Wow! Very good! I decided on the shrimp salad with avocado. I have this thing with wanting my salads chopped for easier eating & I was happy to see it came chopped!! except the shrimp of course - those were whole, fresh & cooked perfectly. It had what seemed like an endless amount of avocado - impressive! I also got a fish taco a la carte - it was deep fried (all right by me) and then they give you your own squeeze bottles full of sauces to top it off yourself which I thought was ideal. It was all great! Did I mention our food came out lightening fast? It was only a matter of minutes- less than 5 for sure! I don't want to sugar coat the atmosphere... there was a guy who came in to get some relief from the hot concrete he apparently called home. There was a nice patron who bought him a beer & maybe some food - didn't stick around long enough to see that- but that patrons brother got up to stop him because he said the restaurant didn't want him there! It caused a minor scene, but the brother did not win... the guy sat drinking his cold beer - that made us feel good to know there were good people willing to step out & do a good deed!! The situation didn't really bother us at all. Then there was a young (young!) boy who came in that was peddling for money & who you could tell was sadly hooked on serious drugs. He did score a small donation before he was asked to leave & did so without incident. My husband wanted to kidnap him & get him some help because he was very young & it was a hard truth to ignore, but we ended up just hoping the best for him. Very sad. Bottom line- those were minor occurrences in a room full of ordinary people. That is my story about my trip to Restaurant Sinaloa! All in all, we left there saying we can't wait to return!!! This place is about food & if you can overlook the location & some peoples battle with life, it is a must try! read more

Best Seafood Mexican food in all AZ!!!! Love love this place!!!! Try the Toritos!!! Omg Soo good

The food was delicious and I'm from Sinaloa Mexico! I would add more stars but the service was not too good. It does help if you know a bit of Spanish but the menu does come in English. The shrimp ceviche is awesome and one tostada can be shared. The fish filet in garlic sauce is huge and really tasty. read more

Took 5 seniors for fresh fish, Mexican style. Raves! I had jumbo bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed shrimp with beans/rice/tortillas.. Charles had the Mariscos platter that had 8 styes&kinds of fresh seafood, including a broiled langostino. Beside me, Linda had Shrimp Diablo.. Great shrimp cocktails! By lunchtime the place was packed with local Hispanics, obviously hard working people, ordering huge meals; entire baked fish. Big meals cost about $20, but plenty of cheaper options. Great service at the table and beers on tap. Check out the menu online: Mariscos Sinaloa read more

Best service and amazing food! Such a variety in the menu. A good family restaurant to enjoy good classic Mexican food.

Love it here, one of my favorite mexican seafood places here in the valley. The service is always quick and I the food always tastes amazing! read more

Not bad but not all that good either. Had the seafood platter and most everything way over cooked, spiceless and rubbery. The place wasn't all that busy at 5 pm, so can't blame it on that. Will try elsewhere in the future. read more

This used to be one of the best restaurant in town but lately the service takes forever and it seems like the food is not as good as it used to I mean if you want to go make sure you have enough time to wait for your food to be ready because it will take a while but I mean not the best but not the worst in town read more

Just had a supplier bring us lunch today from here...some of the freshest seafood authentic mexican dishes you can get...4 locations throughout the valley...haven't been inside but our supplier says it's just like you were in Mexico..little hole in the wall and people coming in trying to sell you stuff like wallets, buckles and more...will definetly try to dine in some time in the near future...loved it.. read more

It's been awhile since me and my husband have been here, We ordered our food got our drinks it very quickly Took about 25 minutes to get our food my husband ordered the shrimp cocktail, I ordered the octopus and garlic butter the shrimp cocktail shrimp were overcooked soggy and had no flavor, My octopus plate was very tough the rice was cold beans were cold and the potatoes that came with it were also cold not satisfied with today's dinner, overall I will never come here and eat again. read more

Ate here for the first time today, it gets very busy. Everything was fresh, authentic, and delicious. Would highly recommend.

ok, the area was a little scary, but I heard the food was good. Well, it was authentic mexico, and not in a good way. The service was poor and some of the food came out wrong and they did not care. The food mosty tasted good... The place needed a good cleaning as well. Found much better places to be for this type of food here in Mesa...places where they actually care about the customer! I think one of the best palces used to be one of these, but sold and cleaned up....I go there... read more

The food is not that good!!! It is really expensive and was not worth it, I didn't even eat my food ...save ur money and time and go somewhere else! read more

One must overcome the look of the neighborhood and it's neighbor "soup kitchen". I used to volunteer at this "soup kitchen" and the street people are not a danger to this neighborhood. The restaurant is a large and open room with about 10 booths and 20 tables, an aquarium and loud loud Mexican music! Did I mention it is loud? Five or six waitresses, friendly, helpful and patient rush about serving the quests. A Friday early evening, my wife and I were the only non latinos in the place. The food was as beautiful as it was excellent. We ordered shrimp quesadillas (9.99) and a deep fried whole red snapper in garlic sauce (13.99) both excellent. The portions were huge!! The snapper was 12 to 14 inches long! I have taken off one star for the overly loud music. The bathroom and restaurant were clean and service was good. We will surely return! Perhaps with ear plugs :) read more

Tostada de ceviche and coctel de camaron are both great. Service was very fast and they brought more chips without asking, which was great. Definitively coming back! read more

If you are looking for a good Mexican sea food restaurant , restaurant Sinaloa is the place to go! Delicious!!!

The service is horrible!!!! The waitress acted like she didn't care for our business and made the entire experience horrible!! It was like it was a bother to her if we asked for anything! I am normally a really chill person since I used to be a waitress but this was terrible! The food is good but I wouldn't go back just because of the service!!! read more

Received the wrong order, slacked on checking on us. Didn't get one refill the whole time I was there, waiter kept passing by and only acknowledged the guys sitting across us. She acted fake once we went up for the receipts just to get a good tip. read more

Seafood rocked! Good portions, service, and fast delivery. If loud music is not your thing, you won't like this place. I found it fun and mood lifting. read more

This is one of my new favorite restaurants! We went last night and had an amazing meal with friends. It's so authentic that you will want to bring a friend who speaks spanish along with you. But you can get by with only english and so don't let that stop you from going. The atmosphere is kinda divey, but still pleasant. Beautiful, colorful murals on the walls and loud mexican music. There were mexican soap operas playing on the TVs....not what I wanted to watch, but I am not their avg client! I had the fillete de chef and it was PHENOMENAL! baked fish (flounder? it was so buttery and smooth) topped with octupus (perfectly cooked) and shrimp (slightly tough) in a wonderful, light-tasting cream sauce with bacon in it. Wow, I just loved it. Had leftovers for lunch today and it was great. My husband had the shrimp bacanora (sp?) and it was divine. A wonderful cream sauce with Bacanora (an agave liquor). Highly recommended. My other friends had shrimp in green chile cream sauce (excellent!) and a whole, deep-friend red snapper that was good but a little on the dry side. For appetizers we had ceviche tostada (excellent!) and the little peppers stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in bacon and bathed in a salty soy sauce (very good!!). I highly recommend this place. I can't wait to go back! Amanda read more

This food is straight up taste less, idk what style of seafood this is but it is not very appetizing..food here is boring, i find the plates more amusing to see while eating, and maybe choking since the service here is so slow, it does get busy on the weekends which is understandable but having to be a small restaurant I'am sure they can check up on every cust real quick. the time to cook is ridiculous seeing others arriving later than you and receiving their food a lot sooner is really frustrating to see. Now maybe this attracts the type that grew up to this boring style of seafood, but never again will i ever waste time and money for sea...actually LAKE FOOD note: oysters here are farm raised not from the ocean...they will admit to that ;) read more

Best Waitresses, never a wait, self seating where ever you want, chips are always hot (not stale) Salsa is great too. Recommend to all my friends and family...The Best read more

last week we stopped by to eat here, husband was in the mood for aguachiles. We had been here once before a long time ago. If you don't mind the long wait, then step right in. The waitress that helped us took forever to make an appearance, and when she did stop by to take our orders, she didn't write it down... i mention this because we ordered to-go, and when i got home i realized part of my order was incorrect, before submitting my order, she double checked our orders for correction, then i had to mention to her again the specifics of my order... please write down order. I don't have allergies to particular foods but if i did, and my order being incorrect would be of a great deal. Once our to-go order was submitted, it took a good while for it to be ready... that's fine though, its a busy restaurant and i don't expect speed unless its a fast food joint. My husband ordered aguachiles and i ordered the shrimp in chipotle sauce. On the menu, the chipotle shrimp has a flame logo indicating that its spicy... its not! but, i can assure you its super delicious! i was impressed with the flavor and portion of the plate! for a $16 dollar plate, i don't regret it. My husbands plate was also generously served, and the to-go order was filled with a more than perfect amount of condiments, napkins and sides for our dishes. No complaint there! The dishes are more on the pricy side, but aren't most sea food restaurants? over all, waitress needs to write orders down for accuracy, be ready for longer wait times and have your wallet prepared. Good food! will most likely return whenever i can afford it again! read more

took 5min to get us seated, there was 3 different girls who were our "server" then our food came out 30min later. The carne asada was burnt on the bottom and it appeared as if they hid it under the rice and beans so we would not notice it. Grilled shrimp we ordered was burnt as well...ordered a Seafood trio and a majority of it was rice. and once we were done with our food our "server" was no where to be seen and our check never came to the table. crap service. just because you guys are busy does not mean you have to provide bad service... read more
