Most Popular European food in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico
Find out what European restaurants to try in Puerto Escondido. Looking for a tropical Mexican fishing village with relaxing beaches, oceanfront seafood bars and restaurants, unspoiled reefs for diving and snorkeling, and waves suitable for championship surfing? Puerto Escondido has all that plus the Laguna de Manialtepec mangrove lagoon for tours combining kayaking, boating, bird-watching, and swimming in phosphorescent waters. Regularly scheduled airline service links Mexico City and Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido Airport (PXM)Rent an umbrella at the town beach, Playa Principal, which parallels the Avenida Perez Gasga hotel and restaurant row. Stop in one of the hotels near the beach for a drink or take the family horseback riding. A small freshwater lagoon at the mouth of the river, Rio Rigadillo, marks the border with Playa Marinero, which has waves suitable for beginning surfers. The whole family will enjoy the mile-long shoreline walkway known as Andador Escénico, which leads across the rocks to El Faro lighthouse and the Sueño Posible scenic overlook. Beyond the lighthouse, Playa Principal transitions into Playa Manzanillo, a swimmable beach with clear waters extending towards Puerto Angelito. Rent a boogie board or equipment to snorkel the coral and rocks. If Playa Manzanillo gets too crowded on a holiday weekend, catch one of the water taxis linking Puerto Escondido’s seven beaches. Hire a skiff to take the family sightseeing or dolphin and sea turtle viewing. Fish for trophy sailfish or catch a dinner of yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi (dorado), grouper, roosterfish, mackerel, or snapper. Watch the experts surf the 6-15 foot swells and hollow tubes of Playa Zicatela. International competitions in August and November draw the pros to demonstrate their prowess on the Mexican Pipeline. Snorkel or surf the clear shallow waters beneath the high cliffs surrounding Playa Carrizalillo. High red cliffs, housing, and hotels surround riptide-plagued Playa Bacocho, which is good for long romantic beach walks and sunsets. For more adventure, dive Pressure Point’s tectonic plate fault lines or Punta Colarada’s volcanic overhangs, ledges, and lava rock swimthroughs. If you are lucky you will see lobsters, stingrays, moray and snowflake eels, barracudas, yellow tangs, parrotfish, and puffers.

Didn't even get my salad clearly written on her bill and the table next to us got a huge ceaser my friends was hlf the size no bread with the pastadear my lady in his table you were in 4 you asked two cesar insale of which one with chicken both were served and you do not come to say that his neighbor was bigger our portions are ugali for all you do not make preferences as far as bread is concerned, we serve it with meat and fish, not with pasta, but it was enough to ask for it. there was no need to attack the maid as she did, even ashamed her husband who immediately apologized for his behavior. the waitress has only made the mistake of putting in his account and not the one of the couple who was with you one of the salads does not seem so serious. not to see each other as a customer, as we prefer not to have one.

Such a memorable evening. First, the setting is amazing, right on the Playa Principal but with a solid floor and comfortable chairs. Tables are set with fresh flowers, cloth napkins and nice glassware. Service from the very sweet, smiling waitresses and waiter was perfect. I had the seafood trilogy and my husband had the tuna. Both served with salad and rice, and whole wheat bread and butter. Palm trees, candlelight, fishing boats, beautiful guitar music, ocean breeze...utterly lovely! And it is no more expensive than any other nice restaurants we've been to in Puerto. In fact, the white wine is probably the most reasonably priced we've had. Highly recommend.

We had a quiet dinner (inside is our preference). Lino is one of the best professional waiters you will ever encounter. He always gets our order right and is charming and calm even tho he serves every table in the place. And, year to year, remembers so many of our names.We both had pork dishes. One with a Provençal tomato sauce and the other with cream mushroom sauce. Hard to choose the best. The very sweet Fou chocolate dessert a must for chocoholics. Creme brûlée is also good.Paris is a Puerto treasure with french style recipes. Yum.
