A family-owned Hurricane spot for Mexican plates and real seafood, with molcajetes, tableside guacamole, and margaritas.
Mazatlan Mexican Grill and Seafood brings a broad Mexican and seafood menu to Hurricane, on State Street about 20 minutes from Zion. It's family-owned by Rafael and Onice, the same team behind Puerta Vallarta in Cedar City, and that hands-on ownership shows in the cooking. The kitchen leans hard into seafood, which sets it apart from the usual taco spots.
You'll find a charola de mariscos, aguachiles, shrimp cocktails, and the siete mares soup alongside the expected tacos, enchiladas verdes, and steak fajitas. The molcajetes are the move for a hungry table. The Molcajete Zapata comes loaded with carne asada and chicken, bubbling in a hot stone bowl.
Tableside guacamole and a full margarita list round out the meal. Portions run big and prices stay reasonable, a good combination after a day in the canyons. There's a clearly marked gluten-free menu, vegetarian plates, and a dessert lineup, so most of the table is covered.
The room is casual and family-friendly, with quick, friendly service even when it fills up. You'll find Mazatlan on West State Street in Hurricane, open daily from late morning to late evening. For generous Mexican food and real seafood near Zion, this local favorite is worth the short drive.

We stopped here on our way through town and are so happy we did! The food was excellent and there was a great selection that included all of our authentic Mexican favorites and more! It was a pleasant surprise that my mole poblano was served with plantains — in southern Utah! My son’s burrito Vallarta was rich and delicious and huge! Service was great, and we left full and happy for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this place if you like real Mexican food and great smiles!

We stopped here after tubing the Virgin River and it ended up being one of the best meals of our trip. It’s in a small strip mall and easy to miss, but the food is incredible—fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. They brought chips, salsa, and beans right away, and everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was friendly and added to the authentic, family-run feel. Definitely worth the stop if you’re near Zion or Hurricane—we’d go back! 👍
