El Farallón

Frommer's Review

If you like seafood, there's no reason to eat anywhere else in Los Mochis. Don't be put off by the menu, which is confusing -- to put it simply, you can order seafood cooked any way you want. Try a Mexican style such as al ajillo, with toasted guajillo chiles. If you're hungry, I recommend the mariscada for two or more, which comes with a cold and a hot platter of a variety of fish and shellfish. Try calamares (squid), the cheapest thing on the platter. Forget about those rubbery rings fried up in other restaurants; because the squid get to be giant-size in this region's waters, the meat comes in big, tender chunks. One of my favorites is machaca, made with either shrimp or smoked marlin (cooked in a reduced fish stock, which is mild and satisfying). The atmosphere is casual, the air-conditioning functions with gusto, and the white-tiled dining area is simply furnished.
