Things to do in Los Mochis

    Parque Sinaloa

    Parque Sinaloa occupies part of the former estate of Benjamin Johnston, the American who founded the sugar mill around which Los Mochis grew up in the early 20th century. Have a wander to see the international trees and plants Johnston installed, and the scant remains of his Casa Grande.

    La Cabaña de Doña Chayo

    Fabulous quesadillas and tacos with carne asada or machaca (spiced shredded dried beef) arrive here in piping-hot, handmade-to-order corn and flour tortillas. A classic, right down to the plastic flowers, kitsch art and whirring fans.

    El Farallón

    The upscale atmosphere is rather cruise-ship clubhouse, but the service is good and there’s excellent ceviche, sushi and endless preparations of shrimp and fish (the chiltepín sauce packs a fiery wallop).

    Mercado Independencia

    The Mercado Independencia , between Degollado and Zapata, is an energetic marketplace dealing mostly in meat and vegetables, but the outside shops along Av Independencia do offer some choice cowboy wear.

  5. El Leñador

    Middle-class Mochis descend on this excellent burger, steak and shrimp restaurant (try the Mexicana burger!), oddly popular with both families and the young and beautiful. Chips are served with three fantastic salsas.
