There are a bunch of great places to get food in the Centro Historico district of Mazatlan. From traditional Mexican of Pedro y Lola, to the giant Papas (baked potatoes that are loaded with everything, and I do mean everything!) at Beach Burger, there's a type of food for every palette.
On the Machado, I really like Pedro y Lola (pictured). The dishes are unique, yet not so far removed from American Mexican that you don't know what you're getting. If you have the chance to visit, take your waiter's recommendations, they won't steer you wrong here.
Just off the Machado, on Constitution and Benito Juarez, is Te Amo Lucy (pictured). This little restaurant is part of a B&B run by Tony and his wife, Lucy. It's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've not had a bad meal at Lucy's and the salsas and green chile sauces are excellent! A very unique dish is a Mexican take on chicken fried steak, you have to try it to believe it!
Also off the Machado, across from Angela Peralta Theater is El Tunnel. There's a lengthy explanation about how they got their name on the menu, but I believe that it's because of the long tunnel you must go through to enter the restaurant. It's a lot like the Blue House (see post below) as it's traditional Mazatlan Mexican, but with more regular hours.
If you're looking for a great tamale, head off the beaten path to Maz Tamale. This is a little store front on Benito Juarez, between Mariano Escobedo and Constitution. This place is so small, you could miss it. But if you find it walk up to the window and order up a tamale you'll never forget. They have a unique combination of spices, raisin, and your choice of beef, chicken or vegetables. They even make a pineapple tamale! I'm not sure if they're open at night or just during the day.
