The humid, salt-scented air of Mazatlán’s Centro Histórico greets you at Plazuela Machado, where a small group gathers under café awnings and the guide checks names. From there an Auriga taxi—one of the city’s classic open-sided cabs—nudges you into narrow streets, past painted façades and toward low-key marisquerias that locals favor over the big tourist spots.
