“Beautiful in the Evening”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

It was all light up for in the evening, and there are some great restaurants around the area. I enjoyed a terrific Italian meal at Il Mosto.

“Great eateries, and night crafts market”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

Plaza Machado eateries include La Tramador, Perdo and Lolas, and a few blocks away El Presidio and Topolos. All great food and reasonable prices. This area is very safe at night!

“Beautiful and peaceful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

This stop was part of our City Tour. It is a delightful plaza with lots of trees and walking paths. The plaza is surrounded by many different restaurants in building that have been preserved from the early days of Mazatlan. While we did not have time to go back for dinner or drinks it will be one of the first places we go to next time

“Wonderful!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

Mix of old and new. Very tranquil. Feels like stepping back into a different, older time. Surrounding buildings are very gracious.
