El Naufragio or " the Shipwreck" is a newer restaurant located in the Marina Mazatlan. It's located at the very south end of the marina walkway so it's easier to come in on the south end. However, most of us didn't and enjoyed a nice walk along the water.
A beautiful day and the wind was actually warm! It's been a cool winter and the wind has been icy for most of the time.
Marilyn and Cathy up ahead of me. We'd come together on the bus while everyone else made their own way.
Along the way this waiter jumped out of Gus Gus to say hi to Cathy. He used to wait at another restaurant that she, Doug, Carol and Richard used to stop at on their Sunday bicycle rides. A friendly guy and he gave her a hug as well. There is another Gus Gus farther into the Golden Zone so this is a new venture. Lots of condos in the area as well as boats so there is a fair bit of business here.
Ruth brought Mary, Sandi and Liz in her car. She could have parked at the south end of the marina but...who knew so they had a Marina walk as well. Such a lovely day for a walk.
Mary, Ruth, Marion, Susie, Liz and Cathy chatting and perusing the menu. A varied menu with very good prices. As always, mixed drinks are pricey.
I ordered a Nojito or a non alcoholic Mojito ...very good and I almost ordered a real one😁
Sandi had a mango margarita.
Liz and Susie had the chicken ciabatta and it was huge. Very good and some went home for each of them.
Liz and her lunch. She and Susie could probably have shared. That's our very capable, friendly, efficient waiter behind her.
Sandi ordered tortilla soup and the bowl is full of fixings with a pitcher of broth on the side. It said there were chicharrons or deep fried pork rinds in it. Sandi made this awful face and said could they take them out. I asked him to put them on the side so we could taste them. Sandi admitted they weren't bad and quite tasty I used to buy pork rinds in a bag as a kid as a snack!
That's a lot of fixings!
On with the broth and you can see the chicharrons in the bowl. Sandi said the soup was very good but a bit spicy for her but probably not for Frank.
She made it through about half and took some home with her for Frank to taste.
Most of the rest of us ordered fish and chips and they were excellent. A real bargain at 135 pesos or about $9.50 Canadian.
No Dorado today instead Corvinna which is tasty as well. Fresh fish here as the restaurant is in the Marina.
Fish and chips for me as well. There were many interesting well priced meals to choose from and the choice was hard!
Everyone happily eating. It was a lovely warm afternoon and everyone had a really nice, relaxing lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
What a lovely setting to have lunch.
There's our waiter / manager behind the bar. He was interested to know how we enjoyed our lunch and also how we found out about them. I said I saw a write up about them on the Facebook site "Foodies" so we thought we'd come and have lunch. Another winner and a great place to eat any day of the week. We were the only lunch time customers so they were happy to see us. I always make a reservation so they know a large group, today nine, is coming. He said " just call me and make a reservation anytime!"
El Naufragio!
Lots of iguanas in the Marina sunning themselves and Liz got a picture of this one.
Some ladies took the bus, some went home with Ruth and Marilyn, Cathy, Susie and I walked home.
What a nice day!
I agree with Sandi; no chicharron in my tortilla soup! They lose the crispness and get chewy! Nice to see you in some pictures.
ReplyDeleteI just had to ask them to bring them after the look on her face😁
