Restaurant Sinaloa

The food is not that good!!! It is really expensive and was not worth it, I didn’t even eat my food… save ur money and time and go somewhere else!

Buenisiiiimaaa comidaaaa!!!
Todo lo que he comido esta en sabor de primera calidad, las meseras muy amables.
Tostadas ceviche de camaron y los caldos son mis favoritos.

This used to be one of the best restaurant in town but lately the service takes forever and it seems like the food is not as good as it used to I mean if you want to go make sure you have enough time to wait for your food to be ready because it will take a while but I mean not the best but not the worst in town

Our family frequently visits this location, we never had any issues before our last dining expirence. We ordered the deluxe oysters, served with shrimp; hindsight shrimp should be consumed only when thouroughly cooked. One hospital visit later, benadryl and antibiotics we now know not to order this dish again.

It’s been awhile since me and my husband have been here, We ordered our food got our drinks it very quickly Took about 25 minutes to get our food my husband ordered the shrimp cocktail, I ordered the octopus and garlic butter the shrimp cocktail shrimp were overcooked soggy and had no flavor, My octopus plate was very tough the rice was cold beans were cold and the potatoes that came with it were also cold not satisfied with today’s dinner, overall I will never come here and eat again.

Completely love this restaurant. The seafood is absolutely wonderful. It’s fairly big inside and get packed full of people. The service is friendly and the environment is lively with vibrant Mexican music.

I will stick to Don Camarones, this place was decent, the service was good but the pulpa was overdone and too chewy and the shrimp was too fishy, like it wasn’t even close to fresh. HOWEVER, the yellow peppers wrapped in bacon and doused in soy sauce were the shit! The Michelada was warm and basically all clamato. So, it’s your basic Camarones dive. Probably won’t go back, and I don’t like saying this at all bc the service was good for sure.

Went to Restaurant Sinaloa with my wife today. Usually this is the kind of place we would drive right past and not pay attention to. We did this many times for this restaurant. Well today we went to this place for dinner.
My wife ordered the arroz marinero (seafood rice). I ordered the coconut shell cocktail of shrimp, oysters, and octopus. Both were very good. My wife and I were impressed. We will definitely return here.
Do not let the outside of the building or the neighborhood put you off. This is a place that we want to do well and stay in business.

El Sinaloa is one of the best places to get mariscos in the valley.
I have to warn you though that the place is very loud. There will be loud music and even louder people.
I love it!

One must overcome the look of the neighborhood and it’s neighbor «soup kitchen». I used to volunteer at this «soup kitchen» and the street people are not a danger to this neighborhood. The restaurant is a large and open room with about 10 booths and 20 tables, an aquarium and loud loud Mexican music! Did I mention it is loud? Five or six waitresses, friendly, helpful and patient rush about serving the quests. A Friday early evening, my wife and I were the only non latinos in the place. The food was as beautiful as it was excellent. We ordered shrimp quesadillas (9.99) and a deep fried whole red snapper in garlic sauce (13.99) both excellent. The portions were huge! The snapper was 12 to 14 inches long! I have taken off one star for the overly loud music. The bathroom and restaurant were clean and service was good. We will surely return! Perhaps with ear plugs :)

Tostada de ceviche and coctel de camaron are both great. Service was very fast and they brought more chips without asking, which was great. Definitively coming back!

This food is straight up taste less, idk what style of seafood this is but it is not very appetizing. food here is boring, i find the plates more amusing to see while eating, and maybe choking since the service here is so slow, it does get busy on the weekends which is understandable but having to be a small restaurant I’am sure they can check up on every cust real quick. the time to cook is ridiculous seeing others arriving later than you and receiving their food a lot sooner is really frustrating to see. Now maybe this attracts the type that grew up to this boring style of seafood, but never again will i ever waste time and money for sea… actually LAKE FOOD
note: oysters here are farm raised not from the ocean… they will admit to that ;)

My mother and I came here for lunch. When we walked in there were only 2 tables with parties of about 6 or 8 and 2 tables of 2. Seemed like that they had already been served their meal. It took a long time for us to receive our meal. While we were waiting the restaurant filled up. A couple of times we waited quite a while for our iced teas to be refilled. I ordered the Molcajetes. My octopus was charred. I had a bite but it made me gag. However, I did like everything else that was served in the bowl. Just make sure you have something cold to drink because it is very spicy hot. The refried beans were excellent. Not sure if we will come back. Average experience.

«This place is scratching an itch that I didn’t even know I had!»
Those were my first words when our food came out. This is a restaurant specializing in mariscos, which is something that you’re probably not overly familiar with. Too many people think of Mexican food as just tacos and burritos, but you truly owe it to yourself to experience the amazing meals that you can have at a restaurant like this.
We ordered three things– Molcajete Barbaroja, Fried whole fish, and Oysters on the half shell. Also a glass of horchata, and some water. So there ya go.
The Molcajete was amazing. I had NO idea how much I had been craving a dish like this, but now I have a new favorite. The octopus was grilled PERFECTLY, with just a hint of char and an amazingly soft-​yet-​chewy texture. It’s one of those things that you just can’t really describe– you just have to have it and fall in love with it. A piece of skirt steak was also in the mix, and it was just incredible. You pull it apart with your fingers, sop it with a tortilla, hit it with a squeeze of lime and hot sauce, then you’re all set.
The fried fish was fried perfectly, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. It’s common with these sorts of dishes to overcook them, even with good intentions. This fish was perfectly juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside. The meat was delicious, and the beans and rice which came with it were amazing. It’s remarkable how good beans and rice can actually be, but it also sort of sucks because you know that once you have the really good stuff, you won’t be able to go back to the bootleg shit that you grew up eating.
And now, a word about the oysters on the half-​shell. This is another case in which Mexican cuisine FAR outstrips what we poor gringos are used to (see Shrimp Cocktail as well). Their version of oysters on the half shell involves slices of raw shrimp, scallops, red onions, and fresh avocados. It’s basically a mini-​ceviche on an oyster shell, and once you’ve had it you won’t be able to go back to oysters with watery cocktail sauce and horseradish.
In short, this place is a jewel. The menu is all in Spanish with a little bit of English, but there are more than enough pictures to give you an idea of what you might like to order. People have remarked about this being in a ‘sketchy’ area, but that’s just the price that you pay for authentic food. I wouldn’t recommend walking five blocks south, but unless you’re up to no good you wouldn’t have any reason to do that anyways. :)

If you are looking for a good Mexican sea food restaurant, restaurant Sinaloa is the place to go! Delicious!!!

You can always tell a good restaurant by the crowds the place draws. And there is always a crowd here all the way until closing time!

The service is horrible!!! The waitress acted like she didn’t care for our business and made the entire experience horrible! It was like it was a bother to her if we asked for anything! I am normally a really chill person since I used to be a waitress but this was terrible! The food is good but I wouldn’t go back just because of the service!!!

This is one of my favorite Mexican food restaurant, I just love this place. I love their breaded fish tacos combination, it’s to die for, I seriously love it. My husband and I almost always get the same thing, it is just delicious. Their Carne ASAda burritos, nachos, enchiladas, and quesadillas are really good too.

If you like authentic mexican seafood — than this is the place. The seafood tastes fresh, I haven’t had anything I did not like. The food is really good, definitely a place I recommend.
However, the area is questionable — I’ve never had an issue, but you do get an uneasy feeling. Also, the service is not great, this might be because the place is always so busy — it seems like your waiter/​waitress is running all over the place. Definitely be prepared to wait for a table on the weekends, sometimes for 30 minutes +

Our absolute favorite seafood place, hands down. Fresh. Good portions. Ranchera playing. As authentic as it gets. Do not let the location fool you.
Seafood is my thing. I love it endlessly. When it comes to the seafood, I have yet to find a boring dish. I order the mojarra frita or al mojo de ajo (–whole– tilapia fried or slathered in crushed garlic), though I usually favor the huachinango (whole red snapper) because when it comes to the bones it is naturally easier to eat. No fault of the restaurant. Note: When I say whole, I mean the whole thing. Head, fins, tail~ gutted and de-​scaled of course. Delicious!
Never ever forget the corn tortillas and lime wedges!
I also order the osteones especiales… special oysters. They come raw with scallop, shrimp, jalapeño, and avocado in each half shell, marinated in lime juice and topped with red onion. I love these so much, I can finish at least a dozen by myself. The ceviche is amazing as well. I treated my parents to these when they came to visit from California and my father said that his favorite place of 10+ years for mojarra in Cali did could not compare at all to Restaurant Sinaloa. Sorry, dad! This is a definite must when they visit now.
Service was shaky at our last visit as the waitress was not as attentive as I would have preferred, but that’s okay. I still left severely satisfied with a large horchata to-​go. We have been coming here for years and I will return over and over.

I’m not a fan of sea food, but this place is a must. I call it «the best spot to recover from a hang over», no kidding. This was my 3^rd time and I was as pleased as the last 2.
Try the toritos (peppers filled with shrimp and wrapped in bacon, on a soy-​like sauce). Three of those plus a «michelada» (beer with lime juice, clamato and salt) and you’ll be better than with an IV. You can also try the shrimp broth, it takes you back from the grave (the booze grave).
The shrimp cocktail is great, with fresh cucumber. Pour some lime juice and ask for ketchup and you’ll be thrilled.
My brother had the shrimp wrapped in bacon, there were pretty good.
The service was pretty good and friendly. Actually I went there with a friend who has several restaurants and restaurant experience and he pointed out that the service was better than average.
One note. If you’re white supremasist, a mexican hater, kkk, confederated, Arpaio lover and so on, this might not be your place. Most of the patrons are hispanic and also all the waitresses.
I almost forgot it, they play «banda» music which I find hideous but the food worth the music pain, specially if you’re hung over.
This is as close as you can get to the real mexican seafood restaurant that could be found in Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa, etc.
