El Peladito, Sinaloa style seafood! Great food, great ambiance, great service. One of our all time favorites. The tuna carnitas, filete culichi and filete placer are a must try. Located on the Manacar roundabout, it feels like an oasis in the city, with its outdoor tables you almost feel like you are actually in Mazatlán, near the beach

This is a good restaurant for seafood. Sinaloa style. Service is OK and servers are polite and focused on customer experience. Meals are well cooked and tasty. Personally, I'm just disappointed that I and several others have asked them to include better "spirit" distilled Mexican drinks. Not happening... Everything else is OK. By the way there is no parking lot. But parking meters are available on the street.

Excellent food, service & selection. Cocktail was also delicious. Only thing bathrooms need an upgrade to make the experience better.

Fantastic northern (Sinaloa style) mexican seafood....reasonably priced but not cheap however, you get for what you pay: quality, flavour, level of hotness and good drinking. Don't miss out.
