Mr Lionso, Seafood restaurant in Punta Cerritos, Mazatlán, Mexico.
Mr Lionso is a seafood restaurant on the waterfront in Punta Cerritos, a coastal neighborhood at the northern end of Mazatlán. The space includes open-air tables facing the ocean, and the menu focuses on regional dishes from the state of Sinaloa.
The restaurant opened in the 1990s, when Punta Cerritos was still a quiet area on the edge of Mazatlán that was beginning to attract more visitors. Over the following decades, it grew into a known spot in the city's dining scene.
The cooking style follows the traditions of Sinaloa, where fresh seafood has long been central to local food culture. Dishes like aguachile and ceviche appear in forms that reflect the specific way they are prepared along this stretch of the Pacific coast.
The restaurant is right on the beach in Punta Cerritos, at the northern tip of Mazatlán's coastal strip. Going early in the meal service tends to make it easier to get a table with a good view of the water.
The property has an on-site zipline that runs above the coastline, giving riders a view of the water from above. It is an unusual addition to a seafood restaurant, and many visitors only find out about it once they arrive.
