Delectable Cuisine

Mazatlan has many beachfront restaurants that often serve seafood dishes. While establishments usually offer local cuisines, many provide German-influenced dishes.

The restaurants in Mazatlan offer not just delectable cuisines but also a stunning view of the sea, with its rushing water that keeps on ebbing and the white sand that glistens under the sun.

Just a tip: the highest rates are generally between October to February (when most tourists are escaping the cold winter) so it is better to book a reservation during spring and summer. Another way to save money is to have a vacation package which is offered by many hotels.
