El Pargo y La Vaca (Playa Norte)

Best Ribs ever!! (Friday night is Rib night). There were 5 of us and every meal was so tasty! Definitely a must while you are visiting! Make sure to make a reservation so you are not disappointed! Prices were also very reasonable!

Food prepared perfectly. I did get worried for a second. I ordered a filet mignon and the waitress put a bottle of A1 sauce on the table. It did not need it at all. Steak was well seasoned and cooked just how I ordered it. The grilled octopus and shrimp was delicious.

Our favorite restaurant in Maz. Amazing food and service. Order the 'Special Toast' and the 'Coconut Shrimp'. The Ceviche here is also wonderful!

They have a Friday special for a rack of ribs, around 165 pesos. It includes a small coleslaw and bread. Service was excellent and food was good.

I Have to thank Google Maps for this find. You see we had walked the beach yesterday from the Mazatlan sign at the start of the Malecon to the exit just past the fishing boats. I was hungry and thirsty and I searched restaurants close to me on GMaps and this popped up. It was a 2 minute walk. It looked great from the outside and when we went in the inner area was quite nice. Not fancy but very nice bistro style.
The service was prompt and i got my coca lite with limes and my menu.
I had the hamburger with the pineapple slice and my wife had the taco. I seriously think it's the best hamburger I have ever had and at my age I have had a lot of hamburgers haha.The fries were fresh and hot . The taco was great too. The menu was far more extensive and there is so much to choose from.
Of course this meal was topped off by a wonderful server who tolerated my 2 weeks of Spanish and she just delivered attention the whole time were were there.She was great. I will be back here and within a week. I want another burger but I will spread my wings and try something new. I don't know who the owners are or who the chef is but my hats off to you for the great restaurant and food.

Excellent food, drinks, and service. The Queen Fish Filet and BBQ ribs were both very good. We also enjoyed the margarita and piña colada’s. Many other items on the menu to try! We will be back!

After a long walk down the beach we stumbled upon this restaurant just one block off the malecon (playa norte). It turned out to be excellent! My husband had the burger and fried and I had the tostado. Both were fantastic - the beef is delicious. The service and the price were also very good. Highly recommend.

Great place for food, we were there for lunch and tried to sample a bit of everything, cebiches, shrimp hamburger, and the ribs were delicious (the ribs portion is huge so you can share). Prices are quite low, and the place is not fancy but is clean with very good service. Is a good place to try both, meat and seafood, hence the name of the place.

Making top notch grade-A deliciousness here and the crew is friendly. It has a nice family feel and relaxing. I’d eat here weekly.

We've been coming to Mazatlan for 6 years and this is truly the best food we have ever had! This hidden gem is located just behind a building off the Malecon...find it, quick! So very delicious! And wonderful service!

Delicious food, this place was recommended to us by a local waiter and it certainly lives up to the hype

Spent an enjoyable evening at El Pargo y La Vaca. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was great - we had a chorreada and the BBQ ribs with fries. Both well prepared and very tasty. They have a nice variety of dishes. They also had a good selection of wine and drinks. It is easy to find parking nearby. The air-conditioning provided a nice reprieve from the heat and humidity outside. I recommend El Pargo y La Vaca.

My favorite restaurant in mazatlan hands down. Been here probably 30 times. From the staff to the relaxing environment to the excellent food. Love the ribs, steaks, fish, even the pasta. Best octopus I’ve had in my life. Great cocktails…. Can’t say enough good things about this place. If you want amazing food and a chill atmosphere without the Banda and all that this is absolutely the spot to go. Can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town.

My favorite restaurant in Mazatlan.
Food is very good,service is good
. I go there for a steak. It's always cooked to perfection. I give the chef 5 stars plus. He is a perfectionist.

A friend o mine choice that place. Somebody make a mistake and took our reservation in a impossible hour, because in that hour the restaurant is close, so we figured out when we arrive there, the employees was so nice, they leave us go inside and wait until the restaurant is was open. I ordered camarones zarandeados and a mojito. Was really delicious. Highly recommend.

So amazing, I had the Rockefeller salmon and OMFG, still drooling.

A gourmet Bistro! What a find! Excellent food, seafood and beef, steaks, octopus, ribs, fish. Highly recommend it!

Food, service, cleanliness is excellent. Tonight we enjoyed the Ribs which were fabulous and a Salad with Arrachera which was awesome. We've eaten here numerous of times. It's one of our favorite go to restaurant. Always consistent.

Great place! Delicious food! Good service! Good prices! They accept credit cards 💳, they have a/c, I love the margaritas there, the ceviche perla negra is amazing!! We had the rib eye too.. amazing! Everything we had here was just excellent.! Definitely we will be back! Highly recommended.!

Great food and service. Probably my favorite place to eat in MZT. 1 block off malacon. Very reasonable best shrimp burger I have ever had. All food looks delicious I just can’t get past shrimp burger.
