Juan-Pablo was an amazing attentive server, we had our best meal yet in Mazatlan! The atmosphere on the rooftop patio was stunning and the food was to die for! Huge portions and a lot of variety. Great spot in the Centro Historico District!
The food and the drinks were amazing. The view at sunset was picturesque. Service was a little off but all good. Still enjoyed it a lot. Prices were on par with everywhere else around here. Would return
We had a super cozy brunch at Toteme. The food was genuinely delicious, I would highly recommend Rib Eye Tacos and Apple Tart. Juan Pablo’s service was really wonderful: attentive, and polite. We had a cozy corner on the rooftop, very romantic and intimate spot. Great for going on a date or hanging out with friends.
Omg SO happy we found Totem! The food, drinks, vibe and service were all 10/10. And Valerio was great!
We visited Mazatlan for 2024 New Years holiday and on our first night we found Totem down the street from our Airbnb. It was love at first site - the inclusive, Queer friendly atmosphere, the staff, the food options for vegans/vegetarians was phenomenal. We felt treated like royalty, and the entire staff went above & beyond to meet every need. We knew we were a little extra at times, and they gracefully met our requests. We demonstrated our generosity with extra tipping, and personally thanking the head chef, staff and manager for all that they did for us. We loved Totem so much we went four times during our five day visit. One suggestion I gave chef was to add a few vegan options so customers didn’t have to modify vegetarian dishes to make them vegan. Special thanks to Ivan, Chuy, Miseal & Pablo!
Great setting, food, and service on Mother's Day (US). The craft cocktails, however, were watered-down, lacked character, and were too expensive (same price as my breakfast entree!). As full-time neighbors, we're now Totem patrons, but we'll skip the drinks.
Pros: beautiful rooftop with a view on a street with a lot of delicious bobo restaurants & bars. The food looked beautiful! The team is very sweet, kind and kind with order modifications. The cheesecake was incredible! Inside the place is really stylish and has an AC Cons: we waited forever for the food & drinks, and while the looks of the food where beautiful it tasted 7/10 Overall I’d go again for coffee/tea & desserts rather than for food!
Great ambiance and chill atmosphere. Jesus waited on us and was excellent. Drinks and food were great! I had an expresso martini, delicious! and the rib eye tacos, definitely worth it! Loved the rooftop views and highly recommend their pastries.
