Feeling like a really good burger? Maybe some spicy chicken wings? Or, maybe you want to try one of the delicious bacon-wrapped Sinaloan hot dogs you've been hearing about?
Beyond the obvious fast food franchise restaurant choices like McDonald's, Burger King or Carl's Jr., Mazatlan offers delicious gourmet hamburgers from a number of restaurants including ever-popular Mary's Sandwich Shoppe (a long-time favorite that many consider the best burger in Mazatlan) and newer tasty upstarts like Beach Burger, Bodega Snacks & Beer, New York Burger, Roadhouse Garage and Grill, Rod's Burgers and Tony's Burgers.
Don't forget hot dogs!
Mexican style hot dogs are delicious and different -- usually wrapped in crisp bacon -- and hot dogs are one of our most popular street foods (click here for more on Mazatlan Street Food Carts).
A really great place to sample a street car hot dog is top rated El Padre in the Centro Historico -- make sure to try the unusual (for Americans and Canadians) toppings, like guacamole, salsas and chiles.
If you want to try a Sinaloa hot dog off the street, the popular Diablo's Super Hot-dogs near the Home Depot is a good choice -- it's a late night place: only open from 7pm - 2am.
It's also worth noting that the hot dogs at the Mazatlan Venados baseball stadium heaped with grilled onions and -- of course -- bacon wrapped, are really good-time baseball comfort food at its best!
So go ahead and indulge yourself with Mazatlan's best hamburgers, dogs, chicken and wings!

Restaurant reviews and information about the best traditional local Rosticerias in Mazatlan

Gustavo's Kitchen is open from noon until late in the day. Gustavo's Kitchen does a big take-out business. If you phone in your order -- from his time in the United States Chef Gustavo Gama and his wife speak excellent English -- your order will be ready when you get there.
Or you can enjoy your chicken in the very cool new dining room!
