The story
In this coastal, streetwise version of the fairy tale there's no villain: the mermaid arrives at an urban seafood spot and meets a proud waiter from Sinaloa, an expert in seafood and culinary history.
Dish by dish, he guides her — and the guests — through the origin and evolution of Mexican seafood: from artisanal fishing to the street tostada with too much of everything and no shame at all.
How it works
The show unfolds in short acts tied to each dish. The hosts move between tables, chat with guests and involve them in decisions, challenges and banter.
It includes the participatory “Kiss the Girl” moment and a photo op.

History and culture in every scene
As in all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without even noticing, you learn. Every dish arrives with its story: where it comes from, how it's made and what it says about the region and era that created it.
Format and customization
“The Little Mermaid in Mazatlán” is one of our Mexican food tastings productions. We can adapt it to your venue, group size, menu and language, as a private event or on dates open to the public.
