two Canadians, Phil and Terri Neville and their partner, Raymundo Caseos
Cano of Mazatlan, the place can only be described as sensational. There are
two large rooms--the Prairie room is the largest and has a stage to the side of
many tables. Off to one side is the Snowbird lounge which has a pool table, two
TV sets, dartboard, reading area and seats another 50 diners. They have live
entertainment every night except Tuesday and Thursday. They serve an excel-
lent variety of seafood, beef and chicken, with the highest price being shrimp
for about $11 USD. For you Canadians they have what is called Loonie Days
on Monday and Tuesday. Pay your bill in Canadian cash and get an exchange
rate of $10 pesos to the dollar, Aye! Happy hour lasts from 4-8 PM every day
except Sunday. If you can't have fun at Canucks you don't have a pulse. Visit

you have to check this place out. It opened at the end of 2003 on Rafaél Buelna,
about a hundred meters east of Valentino's, on the south side of the street. It is
relatively small with little atmosphere, but it is new, clean and the food is won-

with the meal. My wife and companions ordered fish with oyster sauce,
almond chicken, ginger beef, and shrimp chow mein. They were all large por-
tions and delicious. They definitely did not all taste alike, which many have
complained about Chinese food in Mazatlán in general. The price is reason-
able as our meal cost about $6.50 U.S. per person. They have a carry out and
delivery service. Telephone them 986-5728 or 983-2101.
works by local artists displayed on the walls, they are open for lunch and din-
ner from 1PM, except closed Sundays. The menu includes steaks, chicken,
shrimp, salads, burgers, sandwiches and a wide variety of Mexican snacks.
They have a complete bar and live music nightly, at a low enough volume that
you can comfortably carry on a conversation. Gracie (Gracia), the personable
owner, or her husband Roberto will probably seat you. They will make you feel
right at home.
