Huatulco Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Huatulco

October 5, 2017 Kelli Reichel

With nine bays and 36 beaches, Huatulco is ideal for anyone who loves the sun. It's not an overdeveloped resort town, but the hotels are comfortable—even luxurious. Ecotourism is gaining in popularity, so take a break from sunbathing and try river rafting or a hike through the jungle.

La Crema Bar

Reviewed By Steff P

I've been here twice, once on a date, then with a friend.
On my date we had the greatest time because it was sorta late and the music is very boho, you get a private vibe even when the bar seems crowded since they have a nice arrangement for their seatings. Service is great and fast, drinks are cold, it is not overpriced at all.
With my friend we went there for late lunch and we had delicious pizza & margaritas!! We got there exactly at golden hour and it was a very cozy experience. Again, service was great and they are nice!
The only thing is that their cheese fries are cheesed with something other that isn't Cheddar cheese and that part we didn't love. But still, good service.

L'Echalote

Reviewed By TJTeddy1 - Toronto, Canada

After Reading all the good reviews we made a reservation for dinner. Large open space with indoor and outdoor covered dinning area. Service was slow to start. Wine was ok. The entire meal we ordered was off the mark. Warm salads, wilted greens, over cooked...MoreSir, I take a 5 mn walk after Reading your rewiew. We are celebrating 30 years anniversary of L’Échalote and it seems that many returning customers would not agree with you. Best regards

Cafe Juanita

Cafe Juanita is located in Marina Chahue. Perfect for having breakfast or lunch with a view of the water. Our food is local, fresh and delicious.

Reviewed By Margesmister - Toronto, Canada

...not sure about all the rave reviews or maybe we just hit an off night.
Cheviche was overly acidic, white wine was luke warm, and the rest of the meal was so unmemorable I forgotten what else we ordered. A big yawn from me.

EL GRILLO MARINERO

Reviewed By MrKato - Alberta, Canada

We went to El Grillo for lunch expecting good things, but found it to be just ok. The menu at lunchtime is very limited. They only offer whole fish, shrimp, octopus and snails, with sides of rice and veggies. The taco chips served as an appetizer are great except the salsa is so spicy as to be inedible. No guacamole. No cocktails or wine served, just beer. No credit cards, just cash accepted. Overall, the shrimp and octopus we ordered were cooked well and tasted good, but rather underwhelming considering the great reviews this restaurant has received. If you are staying in an all inclusive resort then I don't think it's worth spending the extra money.

Reviewed By Karen F - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Make sure you share your entree... the portions for even starters and salads are huge.
Very tasty seafoods and the tortilla soup is very filling. Pleasant Seating, nice views of the square from outside Terrace, and friendly helpful staff.
We noted the staff really didn't speak English at all, except for the service and the menu, but remarkably helpful and fluent on those topics.

Reviewed By Travel l

We visited this restaurant because of a recommendation of a friend and we have to say - this is one of the best ones in Huatulco!!!
Starting from the atmosphere located directly next to the beach with an amazing view over the ocean, the music, the lightening, decoration... everything is perfect here!
They only serve fresh food, they have their own fisherman and the chef is a famous TV chef- SO all we can say about the food is: High Quality for reasonable prices and amazingly delicious, made and served with love!
Even the cocktails were beautifully decorated and somehow more delicious than the ones we had in the beach restaurants.
This place is a MUST VISIT!!!

Reviewed By HermanRegina - Regina

After numerous pizza/mexican/seafood restaurants we correctly chose this place to satisfy our craving for beef.
Steaks or ribs are all cooked on the fire grill by the skilled Master BBQ guy. That's what we'll call him, because he knew what he was doing while cooking the meat.
Prices reasonable and service was adequate.
Will go there again.

We spent an amazing evening here at Giordanas Delizie, enjoying a bit of home feeling :)
The starters they serve are really delicious and the homemade pasta was more than delicious <3 Martin could not decide beween tha Mahi Mahi and the Pasta, so they just made him a half half plate, which was the perfect dinner :D
We were really full after our main dishes but we haaaad to try the Tiramisu and it was definitely the best one since a looooong time <3
But another thing that makes this place so special are the owners!! They welcome everyone like a friend and do their best to really make everyone's wishes come true! Thx For this nice evening here - we will definitely come back next time!!!
