El Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant

It was my first time visiting this restaurant & it was amazing!! The staff is awesome & the food is fantastic, the drinks are the absolute BEST!!!

I will definitely be back many more times!! Jordan & his team are amazing!! The atmosphere is phenomenal from a business management point of view & a customer point of view.
More ppl of color should DEFINITELY try the food & the atmosphere!!!!

This Mexican restaurant in Mankato is a gem! The food is so good that we happily drive 1:30 hours from the Twin Cities sometimes. I’m a huge fan of their Monster size Pina Colada Margarita – fun to drink and super refreshing. It can be a bit too sweet occasionally, but most of the time, I enjoy it a lot.

My go-to comfort foods here are the El Molcajete – the steak is soft and juicy, a perfect combo with avocado. The Pollo Norteño and Pollo Ranchero are cheesy and flavorful, with smartly combined sauces. The chicken is always tender and juicy. The space isn’t huge, but the layout is pretty busy. The booths are comfortable, and the staff are quick and helpful.

The first time going to Mazatlan was on a Friday night. And it was PACKED. Even though there was a wait, it wasn't long. We were seated, and everything ran smoothly. Our waitress was polite and experienced. Our food came out fast and tasted amazing. The ONLY complaint it have is that it seems that the tables were too close to each other. But with a full house I understand. Don't miss out on the best Mexican Restaurant in Mankato.

Shout out to our server Alejandro M. For the amazing lunch experience today! The food and service was outstanding!

This is an awesome place to eat and drink at an affordable price! I would highly recommend if you want to get some margaritas! Definitely would go back again! My server was really nice and conversational!

Very good food and service. Their chips are quite good and so is their salsa. I'm newer in the area but have tried many Mexican restaurants in quite a few towns. This is my favorite. Price is fair. Ambience is good (not amazing or high class, but good). It was packed at 530 on Friday night but we did get in right away (had to park across the street). They have that white cheese sauce that is so good and it is put on a lot of their food it seems. Made my steak quesadilla taste even better. We'll be back many times.

Nice and fun place to eat. Lots of choices...with a easy going, yet busy atmosphere. It's a bit crowded at busy times...but definitely worth a visit.

This place was busy but great staff, the food wason point, also if salsa and chips ain't spicy enough ask they will bring a nice flavor and a bit spicy you'll like it, for me was the Carne asada plate and my suegros got the molcajete for 2 ppl, and my lovely wife had the coctel de camaron she like.

Feeling pretty happy about this visit, food has improved tremendously. Def best meal I've had here in a while. Can't wait to be back!

Excellent Experience...waiter was quick with everything had a party of 6 non stop service...Best Mexican Restaurant in Mankato Food was fabulous Delicious desserts as well..Fried ice cream, Flan,and Cheese Cake chimmie...The extra large margarita was wonder...If you haven't tried El Mazatlan your missing out!!

Excellent service, lively atmosphere, delicious food and reasonable prices. I live over an hour away but I'll be looking for excuses to come back to Mankato just to eat here. It's so hard to find good Mexican places in my area. This one hit all the marks!

I've been going to Mazatlan since I was a boy and it's always been exceptional. The service is great, the atmosphere is inviting and they've recently done some interior renovations that make the place more updated and inviting. The food is fantastic whether you are just stoppjng by for tacoa during lunch or if you want enchiladas for dinner. Mazatlan will always be my go to when I am in mankato!

Best Mexican food that I've ever had. The service is on point. The drinks are delicious and the food is outstanding.

Great Food, just a little behind on the menu's but the food & Atmosphere was awesome. The old spanish music reminded my grandmas good memories, she die on 2020.

Love this place. A must stop when I’m in town. My favorite it the Matzalan cheese steak with the jumbo Texan margarita!! Staff is always so good too.

Was busy and crowded, but that's to be expected on a Friday night.
I had the Mixed Fajitas and they were delicious.

They are always happy to serve families with kids. Also ready to give more start chips. Always have the best service. Just the best place to take people for a get together or celebration.

We forgot to take pictures, but it was delicious. And the service was great, and the prices are great too.

I really like the food here I have had the enchilada plate it was delicious and the service and people there are very friendly!!

I love this restaurant! The food is great and the drinks are amazing 👌 definitely very reasonably priced for the high quality menu items and service. I go here every time I'm in Mankato and I highly recommend you check this place out for yourself!
