Reviews
We ordered the mar y tierra appetizer which was amazing! The first bite of guac. with chicharone was orgasmic, and every bite after was heaven. Then came the ceviche which was perfectly seasoned and so fresh.
Omg I totally forgot about the chips and salsa that was so good I wanted to drink it.
After that were the fajitas which had fresh bell pepper, soft (again perfectly seasoned) meat that was so juicy I couldn’t leave it on the plate and used the rice to soak it up.
Next was callo de hacha that had the perfect amount of spice and was so flavorful.
Everything was perfect and definitely tasted like I had stepped into a restaurant in Mazatlan. If you’re looking for food-escape staycation definitely try out Mar y Tierra
I had no idea coming in that it was a whole cabaret club style place, what a surprise. As expected, the ambiance is fantastic – they did an incredible job. They have shows every night at 8pm apparently, with Michael Jackson Madonna, Moulin Rouge, Christina Aguilera, and other very interesting and classy and interesting choices. While we didn’t try the drinks, they look well crafted.
As for the food, the food menu is pretty thin. I know there were many other items on it that weren’t on the one that I saw, like steak and flautas. However, we had the $1 tacos and tried all meats, the nachos, and the folded quesadilla.
Everything was really good but not knock your socks off. Solid 8/10.
Tacos – chorizo is by far the best. The chicken was shockingly tender. The steak was good but not standout.
Quesadilla – good size and weight as you’d hope for $17. I’d get it without pico de gallo personally.
Nachos – really large. Nice fresh ingredients. Good steak. Would prefer a better distribution of ingredients though, and more sour cream.
Anyway I think the food is a 4/5 but the ambiance, service, and fact that something this cool is in such an unexpected area knocks it to a 5.
First, the place looks like a little, dinky place from the outside. I was expecting a couple of tables at most. I was happily surprised that the place is much larger. Plenty of high tops in the full bar area (I love a great tequila selection) with TVs and a dining area that features a gigantic TV. Perfect for watching sports.
I thought I’d test them out by ordering carnitas street tacos and a house margarita. Everything was delicious. Well made and presented. Fresh ingredients, too.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take any photos, sorry. I was hungry! lol
Their homemade chips were very good and the salsa was also fresh. It wasn’t hot, so I’ll have to ask for a hotter salsa next time.
I ended up having two of the house margaritas which were not from a mix (I was paying attention). Half the rim was salted. Very professionally made. I was very happy to learn that their house margarita isn’t made with Cuervo (yuck). It’s made with Los Cabos. Not familiar with it, but it made a tasty margarita.
I was there after 2pm, so the house margaritas were at happy hour prices ($5).
The bartender/hostess/waitress was very nice and attentive. I wonder if she’s one of the owners. Instead of staring at her phone during her down time, she was cleaning the wrought iron railing inside. I mean, she was cleaning all the fancy patterns by hand. Very impressive. Don’t see that much anymore.
Highly recommend this hidden gem. If the rest of their menu is as good as what I had, you’ll enjoy a great meal, drinks, and atmosphere.
While I didn’t spend much time there on my first visit, I will absolutely be back when I’m in town next.
The place looks like a converted bar with the old stage for live band torn out at the back. The decor was minimal and nothing inviting.
The menu looked promising with its colorful pictures and descriptions but that was the highlight. ALL of the food was substandard and poorly cooked. No need to go into details.
The service was the icing on the cake. It was incredibly slow. Meals, when they did come out were one at a time. There were four of us so imagine how that played out for a group trying to have dinner together. The last dish never made it to the table. I canceled it since everyone else had finished. The manager said it was due to short staffing but there were only maybe 10 patrons in the whole place. I’d hate to think what would happen if the place was full.
It’s unfortunate as I always hope new places succeed but cross this one off your list and save your money for a better deserving restaurant.
