I've been checking the "Foodies" facebook site for awhile and the reviews for La Ostionaria were very good. I decided it would be a perfect fit for the ladies lunch group as it was new to us and had a diversified menu. Today 9 of us met there for lunch and we were not disappointed!
Located on the water in the marina.
The front part of the restaurant is outside under cover and that's where we were seated.
You can just see us inside.
On the right Ruth, Diane Chantal and Sandi. On the left Steffi is perusing the menu and Connie is behind her.
I ordered a Pinada which is a pina colada without alcohol and Ruth's drink is the waiter's favorite. Sorry I can't remember it's name.
Georgia and Susie have now joined us and Georgia had the same drink as Ruth. Georgia lives close by and has eaten here before and she also said it was very good.
You can sit with a drink and watch the boats in the harbor. Very relaxing!
We are all seated and as you can see there is lots of staff. We had menus but the drinks were online and you can find them with the QR code. Very techie!
Diane is ordering and they use tablets to keep track here. The menu is very extensive and it took us awhile to figure out what we wanted.
The food came out quickly. These are Connie's Korean tacos which she said were delicious.
She looks like she's giving me the " Evil Eye!"
Diane's mixed shrimp plate. Wow does that look good...and it was.
That's a lot of food and some went home with her.
Susie's crunchy roll which she ordered because it does not have cream cheese in it. She likes sushi rolls but not cream cheese and lots of the rolls have it.
Susie and Steffi had crunchy rolls. In the end there was a discussion about what Steffi had tried to order and what actually came and she returned the roll for another choice. No problem at all.
Ruth and I split an order of oysters El Carbon or on the grill. They were hot with a very good spicy sauce. I really like oysters as long as they are not completely raw.
They were as tasty as they look.
Sandi and Chantal ordered the " Surf and Turf" Burrito which they said was delicious. In the end that's what Steffi ordered too.
As I said La Ostionaria has a very diversified menu.
Georgia's spicy Jalepeno roll. I had one and it was very tasty with a spicy kick.
Susie likes spicy but not cream cheese so this one is not for her although she did try a bit of the spicy red top on the roll.
Ruth and I also split a Mr. Tempo Vip roll which was interesting and every so tasty. Wrapped in salmon and tuna and plenty for two .....even without the oysters!
Georgia's stuffed oysters which are ceviche style or raw.
Ruth is happy and says it's the best sushi she's had in Mazatlan. That says a lot!
Ruth ordered a different this time and Sandi had a sip. " Very refreshing " was her comment.
At this point Ruth and I were slowing down...getting very full.
Most people couldn't finish their meals and had to take some home.
The table was a sea of yellow!
The lovely view of the Marina. We had arrived at noon and by 1:15 we were finished eating. Good service, speedy delivery of the meals and excellent food. It was a top notch dining experience and lots of us said we'd return. So much to choose from and so good! Thumbs up!
