Oaxaca, Mexico Food Guide: 10 Latin food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Puerto Escondido
Find out what Latin 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.

Primer Restaurante Peruano en Puerto Escondido, hacemos el mejor Ceviche de la ciudad
Reviewed By performxl
We´ve had it in Sativa, Costeñito and others and Eric´s ceviche is off the charts. PLUS, if you´re into anticuchos-peruvian grilled beef heart-get ready to have some of the best. Their staff is awesome (Joaquin and Vero especially). We went to Chicama many times during our trip.

Absolutely loved this restaurant, the food was delicious. We loved the bread baskets, the fresh juices , authentic dish choices and how friendly everyone was. I also was happy they treated the local dogs nicely and had water bowls out for them . That's a plus for me when there are so many strays and with the heat. They care about their community and what's happening. We visited this establishment a few times and enjoyed our meals every time. I like that it's colorful and it just looks like a happy place.

This place has moved into bigger space, still on the road leading down to Zicatela beach.The menu is small and made up by tacos, served x3 and either vegetarian, seafood or meat. Tortillas are fried and the taco piled high with whatever you ordered, fresh cabbage avocado and cream. Sauce served on the side. Chile de arbol sauce particularily good!Service is accomodating, allowing you to mix and match tacos. If peckish, share one order, if hungry get one each!

We had a nice meal in the restaurant. The food was ok but not much choice for the kids. The lemonade with mint was delicious. The view was amazing and it was nice to get the cool breeze which blows through the restaurant. Would recommend for the view.

Reviewed By Hampm57
We have as tradition to go and enjoy the samplermenu with a friend whenever weâre in Puerto. It has added up to a number of visits over the years and weâve seen the restaurant evolve into an evermore creative and daring menu. It serves regional food with flair and now uses a lot of more unusual ingredients as wild herbs, naked crabs and special types of rare chiles. The menu is always a treat, and most plates are seriously tasty and well put together leaving you satisfied and also having tried flavours and ingredients you wouldnât otherwise know.The small caveat is the almoraduz now train their staff exceedingly well, almost eradicating the personal touch replacing it with perfect professionalism and a standardized service. This is of course the mark of good leadership and. Ision, but we did miss the personal touch and warmth of earlier .Thank you very much for all your visits! You are always welcome to Almoraduz.We are happy to know that you like our restaurant and you enjoy all the time our menu.We will take your comment to improve our service adding the charming touch of the oaxacan hospitality.We hope to see you very soon.Chef Quetzalcoatl Zurita
