Mazatlan Restaurant

"*Updated January 2024 Have been back a few times for lunch and dinner since previous reviews. Flavors of the different foods has continued to improve. Can't find any food here to say something isn't right about. Have had many chats with the owner and learned a bit about cooking different foods from him. More frequently the owner seems to spend time with many customers tolerance more about what they liked, didn't like, help everyone be a little adventurous and try something they hadn't tried before. More and more I would recommend Mazatlan near the Aberdeen Fire Department for great service and excellent food. *Updated December 2022 Some items are still being made and called "mini" or "half size" for carry out and yet still being charged full price. Certain employees are still doing no free refills on soda, and other employees are doing the correct thing and doing free refills on soda. I'm not sure what they've changed, but the meats seem to be seasoned better so it has a better overall flavor. *Updated August 17, 2022 Mazatlan used to be a favorite establishment for Mexican food; however, more and more I'm losing all faith in the business and do not believe I'll return after this. The prices have increased again, which I understand with inflation, but the portions have gotten substantially smaller, both dining in and to go. Employees have even gone so far to call items for to go orders as "half size", yet you still are expected to pay full price. While dining in non-alcoholic drinks that have never been limited on refills in the past, nor has there been any mention of it on the menu, are now one and done, meaning you will pay for each refill. This review, on top of the previous review is why I will no longer support Mazatlan in its business, nor will I recommend it to anyone anymore. And not that the owner or management cares or will see this, but I still haven't received my tortillas. *Updated February 24, 2021 Unfortunately I feel I need to update the review. I ordered the chicken fajitas for carry out tonight for the first time. When I got home there were no tortillas. When I called and asked for a partial refund as I wasn't going to drive back tonight I was told that they do not do that and that next time to tell them to give me extra tortillas to make up for tonight's mistake. Unfortunately neither a refund or extra tortillas in the future fixes the problem. Unfortunately this is a poor introduction to the first time ordering this dish. May never order it again just based upon this experience. Because of this I'm lowering the star rating at this time. Now that they've opened some seating inside I'm hopeful that if and when I return mistakes like this will not happen again. Original Review: Even with the governor's restrictions to take out only, everyone continues to be a great service with excellent food. And though I only go once a month, everyone still remembers me and what I order. Hot delicious food and a smile regardless of dine in or take out are good enough reasons for me to continue to support this business and its staff."

"Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. The tortilla chips were fresh and warm, the salsa was tasty too. The staff were all friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Price was good as well. We will be back."

"I wish there had been parking at the place around the corner from here. It was so full we decided to try this place and it was the most boring dish. We got enchiladas and the corn tortillas were still stiff and split open. Honestly, would never eat here again. I won't even try the other locations in this chain because the food was TERRIBLE. The staff was decently nice. The chips and salsa was good."

"On our way back from Olympic National park, we went to this restaurant. A very traditional Mexican restaurant in the middle of the city.we ordered fish tacos, enchiladas and taco combination and enchiladas and chalupa combination and tropical cocktail. Everything tasted very good. Cocktail could have been better. Ambience was good."
