Mazatlan

Kenmore, WA

Summary
Would we go there again: Probably Not

Pretty much your run of the mill American Mexican restaurant, coming in on the low end of the scale for quality. Also it didn't really help their case that the place smelled a bit of smoke.

Comments & Ratings
Tim's Comments: The food tasted all right and the service was better than average, but there really isn't anything about this place that makes it stand out in your mind. I have a feeling that a lot of people go there just because it's what is nearby. The same is true for us, but I doubt we'll be going back.

Jeni's Comments: I wasn't very impressed with it. I'd rather eat at another fake Mexican restaurant where the employees can communicate better.
