Mazatlan Restaurant – Mountlake Terrace

When you walk into Mazatlan Restaurant, you’ll be greeted by the smell of fresh tortillas and the sound of sizzling carne asada — one of their must-try dishes. Owner Juan Mario Pimienta is the face behind this popular local Mexican restaurant, known for its colorful decor and authentic cuisine. If it’s your first time in, consider their savory arroz con pollo, ooey gooey enchiladas, or the hearty vegetarian burrito. The restaurant has other locations in Enumclaw, Auburn, and Aberdeen.

Pro tip: Start with their fresh, in-house guacamole!
