PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This shaded sidewalk cafe on the waterfront at Playa Olas Altas feels the way Mazatlán must have in the 1930s, and the food is consistently as good as the ocean view. The menu includes pechugas en nogada (chicken breast in pecan-and-pomegranate sauce); shrimp in tamarind sauce; traditional alambre barbecue (beef cooked with onion, peppers, mushrooms, ham, and bacon); wonderful seafood soup loaded with squid, shrimp, and chunks of fish; and great shrimp with chipotle sauce. Inside, the decor is updated Mexican, the bar is an old wooden boat, and the dining tables are covered with linen cloths. They also have live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
