Mazatlan Family Mexican Restaurant (Albemarle)

They have the best salsa ever!! So good. Clean and friendly staff. My husband and I shared the Thursday special of fajitas so it was very cost efficient. We would definitely go back again!

Everyone was very nice and welcoming as soon as we walked through the door. Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful. The food was delicious and very well priced for the portions. Highly recommend!

There are a lot of Mexican Restaurant options in this area and this is one you need to have on your list to visit. The staff is amazing; they work as a team to service the tables so nothing is missed. The food is excellent and they had something new to me that I’d never tried before that you should consider giving a try. It is a Sopes which is a Mexican street food. The base was a thick homemade corn shell to make a shallow cup (like a tostada but thicker), and then has a variety of toppings you can add to it. They also have two very good hot salsas that you can request; green is quite hot. On the weekends, they have a homemade tortilla station as well. This is not a deterrent for us but in case you are wanting a Margarita or other cocktail, this restaurant does not serve alcohol.

Really disappointed. This used to be our favorite place. .Mexican feast is not what it used to be. Steak over cooked and dry. Hardly any mushrooms and not the same as they used to be. Cheese sauce watered down and shrimp are mostly small. I ordered 3 and was so disappointed

Asked for tea with lemon. No lemon, no one ever checked on me after I got my food. The pollo con crema was full of gristle and knuckle, told the guy about it when I paid my 14.00, he was indifferent. No discount or other consideration offered. Awful!

I love this place

Enjoy the atmosphere and food.

If you’re ever in this neck of the woods, I strongly encourage you to come check out Mazatlan family restaurant. Both food and service were excellent, super-friendly staff here. The atmosphere is somewhat basic, but that wasn’t an issue for us at all.
I had the street tacos, and my wife had the chicken chimichanga. We finished off our meal with probably the best churros I’ve her had (and I’ve had them MANY times).
Highly recommend!!!
