Fonda de Chalio

This street-front cafe across from the malecón (beach promenade) is popular with Mazatlán's middle-aged locals. Breakfasts pack out for chilaquiles with machaca (spiced, shredded dried beef) and huevos con nopales (scrambled eggs with cactus paddles). The afternoon menu gets lively with aguachile (shrimp ceviche with a punchy green salsa), sopa azteca (avocado and cheese soup) and street-side music and dancing.
