Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant | Prineville

Mazatlán is a beautiful restaurant, and they had plenty of space to seat our party of 20, which we really appreciated. The food was okay - not quite our favorite cuisine - but the service was solid. It’s on the pricey side, and gratuity is automatically included, so keep that in mind.

Update 6/2025. Still a solid Mexican place to eat. This was a good Mexican place that is fun and no frills. Classic dishes that are fresh. Service was adequate. Prices are fair. Family friendly and clean.

Dude, the food was amazing! That chicken chimichanga was so tender, it practically melted in my mouth. Everything tasted super fresh, not frozen at all. The place was nice too. But, holy crap, the prices were insane! Like, grandma-level insane. Twenty-five bucks a plate, plus five bucks for a soda?! I almost said, "I remember when..." about the soda price. The food was great, but those prices were a total shock. And get this – they even charge extra for chip and salsa refills!

Easily could have been 5 stars, but the cooks didn't care to cook to order. The server was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, cordial, and always available. She was apologetic for the cooks as well. I have eaten here a few times, and the food is normally decent. There is nothing to rave about, but it is tasty while being fairly priced. I have failed to take pictures on previous visits, but I did this time. My Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo dish was disappointing. I asked for no onions and instead go lots of them, which were soggy. The dish advertised flavorful spices, but there was no evidence of them visually or in taste. It was surprisingly bland. This was unlike my previous visits, which included flavorful food. The rest of the meal was equally bland. The server is all that saved this review.

Stopped in on a road trip. Food was hot and delicious but there was a loud whining coming from the kitchen the entire time. I asked the waitress what it was because it was very loud and distracting and she just shrugged her shoulders and said something about them making ground beef in the kitchen. So we sat through our meal with what sounded like a dentist drill grinding in the background The whole time while we ate. Very irritating but the food was five out of five.
