Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent place that, every time I have visited, never disappoints.
The attention of the waiters is ideal, they are not annoying and answer questions and suggestions regarding dishes and drinks.
The food, as always, of good quality as well as the atmosphere makes it a perfect place for food lovers.

I used WhatsApp to make a reservation for Christmas dinner for two. I asked for the best table on the patio, and we were seated beside a small water feature, in perfect lighting, with good background music that wasn't too loud. The ambiance was perfect! We had heard that the cocktails were very good, and we weren't disappointed; they were great! I had arranged for flowers to be delivered, relying upon lots of assistance from Karen, at our hotel. The flowers arrived just after we were seated and the hostess, Katia, let me know they were arriving.
We ordered the braised short ribs. It is a large portion that is shareable, so we ordered it for us both. The food was amazing! They slow cook the short ribs so they are mouthwatering and fall-off-the-bone tender. The flavor was unique and very delicious. I asked about the chef and learned that his name is David. Everything about our meal was top notch! The food was more than we could eat and we took away enough for us both to have another meal.
The person that served our table is Juan, and he was assisted by Martin. Martin speaks English quite well. Juan brought drinks and whatever else we needed, and did a great job. I learned that the bartender is also named Martin, so if you are asking for someone named Martin who speaks English, remember that he is one of the wait staff, not the bartender. lol
The overall experience at this restaurant was perfect! We will definitely go back when we're in Mazatlán. It is a short walk to Plaza Machado from the restaurant.

This was a celebration of our mutual wedding anniversaries!
The place is tucked into a tree covered courtyard, very romantic!
Taxi drivers are familiar with Presidio, so getting there is not a problem.
The waiters were able to understand our wishes instantly.
The meals we ordered were perfect. I had the roasted smoked pork shank and it was one of the best I've ever had.
While a little higher in price, the atmosphere and service were great in the balance.
For a special reason, Presidio is the place to go in Mazatlan!

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It’s worth seeing just for the ambiance. The flavours of the food are also amazing but unfortunately the food wasn’t cooked well. The shrimp was overcooked and the potatoes undercooked. I had a pasta dish that was incredible but the waiter forgot to order the chicken add on so it arrived when I had 2 bites of dinner left. Trying to get additional cocktails or wine during dinner was fruitless and it’s not like it was crazy busy. I would try again because it really is a beautiful place, but the management seriously needs to upgrade the quality control.

Don't misunderstand me; the ambiance and venue are fantastic. However, their customer service leaves much to be desired. The waiters take an eternity to bring utensils, the food is quite bland, and as for your drinks, savor them because once you have them, no one will check if you're okay or if you'd like another. I recommend trying Gaia or Hector's Bistro instead.

We’ve always loved to go to El Presidio but haven’t been for a couple of years. Friday night we took friends who were visiting from Maryland and were vert disappointed. The 3 stars pertains to the ambiance, but the food was about a 1 star! Two of us ordered the Crab Ravioli and it was absolutely awful, 4 raviolis floating in a horrible tasting red sauce! We should have sent it back it was that bad. My husband had a mediocre tasting shrimp dish and one person had sea bass that he said was good. The service was okay, but there were not many people there …. understandably so!

We, four Canadian women, dined at this restaurant for the first time tonight. Found the restaurant from a blogger's post and we were all very excited to have dinner here. Upon entering, the view was very impressive and we were all mesmerized by the beautiful setting and unique architectural backdrop. Like most of the other reviews, we also feel that prices were on the high side for mediocre food. However, that was not the most disappointing part. Service was slow despite the restaurant not being busy. After a long wait for our bill, to our surprise, there was already a 20% tip added to it. When asked why was additional 20% added, and who decided for us and isn't customers who decide how much to tip? This was the answer we got "this is common in these restaurants. We just suggest it but you don't have to give 20%. This was the most absurd thing we've ever heard. Us 4 women are all well-travelled businesswomen and have all been to Mexico numerous times and have dined at some of the most notable restaurants but this has NEVER happened. It was only tonight that we told "this is common practice in Mexico to automatically add a 20% tip. It was quite disgusting how they acted when they were caught trying to rip us off. If you are to dine here, please look over your bill thoroughly. Regardless of how taken back we felt we still tipped 10% but in hindsight, we should have not. Had we not looked that extra few seconds to look over our bill, these guys would have been successful in deceiving us.

Unfortunately the food was terrible. We had a bad experience a few years ago but thought we’d give it another try. The steak was so bad I couldn’t chew it. I told the waitress and was not offered an alternative. They didn’t take it off the bill either. Very disappointed. We will never be back.

I made reservations 2 months ago for our group via messenger. When we arrived the hostess said no one checks social media anymore and didn’t have our reservation but she sat us anyway. It’s a beautiful location and we were excited since in the past it was a great time. They had a set menu and that was fine as it was Valentine’s Day. The waiter was annoyed by us and was so rude. He didn’t offer or seem to have an English menu. He said we could not order drinks yet all of the other tables had beer and mixed drinks. We only could have the set menu beverages. The food was disgusting. My steak was raw and cold and the cut was something you’d trim and throw out. The sides were cold. The waiter never checked on us and when we tried to get him to the table he’d go the other way. I saw him bring pina coladas to the table next table and then tell my husband he could not get one. We felt unwelcome the whole time. I thought there was a language barrier but magically he spoke perfect English when he asked about adding a tip. It was a 200$ meal that was absolutely awful. I told the waiter about our food and he rolled his eyes. I’d never go back. We have been coming to Mazatlan for years and this is the first time I’ve felt unwelcome. There are so many better places so avoid Presidio.

Great service and good quality meal. We were concerned by all the dollar signs in reviews but two of us dined with 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 1 desert, 2 glasses of wine and 1 mixed drink, for about $85 USD. Pork shank was excellent.

Thank-you to our friend for strongly recommending Presidio for dinner!
My wife and I visited Presidio for dinner and drinks last week. We started by sitting at the bar and having a shot of clear anejo tequila followed by beer and a spritzer. Prices for our drinks were very fair and somewhat inexpensive. Service at the bar was friendly and helpful.
We were then seated for dinner where I ordered the Shrimp Risotto which was creamy and delicious. My wife ordered the Crab Ravioli which was very good but my Risotto was the winner of the night.
Service was welcoming and very attentive throughout our meal.
Ambience of the restaurant is romantic and quiet. Beautiful setting for a special meal in Mazatlan.
Quality of food was top notch! Great experience all around!
No dress code but one should dress at least comfortably nice to better fit in to the ambience of this place.
We will return for sure next time we are in Mazatlan!

Things we loved: courtyard, atmosphere, service, wine, cocktails.
Things we didn't: food was over smoked. Roast beef sandwich was thickly sliced and tough, and smoked. Brisket was also a bit tough and rather than a traditional smoke ring, it was just smoky all the way through. We did not enjoy our meals at all. Maybe I would try something different next time.

Super disappointing. Food was meh. All the food. I wanted it to be special but it just wasn’t. The service was sporadic. Several times I saw a group of staff in the back socializing while we could have used some attention. The dishes weren’t hot and most lacked in seasoning. Chocolate dessert was too sweet, and wasn’t made with quality chocolate. The atmosphere is great, maybe pop in for a meh drink?

4 of us went to Presidio for dinner. 2 of us have dined there numerous times. The food was good, the service was ok. One member of our party got the wrong order. There was loud music upstairs with a blaring base that vibrated down into the dining area. Conversation was impossible. Food enjoyment was compromised because of this obnoxious noise. In summary there are other places in Mazatlan that offer a better dining experience. I have scratched Presidio from my dining list. I will not return.

Great ambiance as usual.
However, a new chef + new (limited) menu = no return visit.
Shrimp burger was indescribably bad, fish dish and veggies were blackened to excess.
The potato side with fish probably cam from Sams Club.
If you remember the restaurant pre COVID, you’ll be sorely disappointed.
