Where Cookbook Author Rick Martinez Eats in His Hometown of Mazatlan, Mexico
Briefly

The author moved to Mazatlán initially for a brief visit during a research trip for their cookbook and was captivated by the local cuisine, particularly its renowned shrimp. Over the years, the city and its rich culinary landscape transformed from a short stop into a home. Every morning features fresh seafood sold by local fishermen, while vibrant markets overflow with ripe produce. Street tacos and seasonal ingredients contribute to an intuitive dining experience that reflects the community's passion and creative evolution in cooking, expanding beyond traditional Mexican cuisine.
I didn't move to Mazatlán for the food - but it's one of the main reasons I never left.
The food isn't rushed or forced. It's seasonal, local, intuitive - a reflection of the people who cook it and the land and sea that sustain it.
At the places I love most, you can feel the passion and the sazón.
These restaurants aren't just following tradition; they're expanding it.
