Dining
It's no surprise that Mazatlan's dining scene centers around seafood, particularly shrimp. Restaurants tend to be casual, serving bountiful and reasonably priced meals. Fiesta Nights are popular at many hotels, particularly the ones held at the Pueblo Bonito, Playa Mazatlan (one of Mexico's best), El Cid and Camino Real hotels.
