Internationally taught chef Gilberto del Toro has earned praise for a menu featuring globe-trotting dishes such as rib-eye steak, coconut-braised chicken, and shrimp risotto with white wine. The strawberry panna cotta and tarte tatin are found among the sweet temptations, and the stellar location on Old Mazatlán's most popular square is a bonus for people-watchers.
