Discover Restaurants offering the best European food in Mazunte, Oaxaca, Mexico. Mazunte is a small beach town on the Pacific coast in Oaxaca, Mexico (15°39′53″N 96°33′14″W / 15.66485°N 96.55388°W / 15.66485; -96.55388). It is located 22 km southwest of San Pedro Pochutla on coastal Highway 200. Mazunte is located some 10 km to the west of Puerto Angel and just about 1 km from San Agustinillo and 264 km south of the capital of Oaxaca. There are two etymologies for the name. Some sources state that “Mazunte” is derived from a Nahuatl phrase, “maxotetia” which means “please deposit eggs here.” However, older residents of the community state that it is from the word “mizontle,” used by locals to refer to a crab species that used to be very abundant in the area.

Were able to grab a table for two amongst many reservations and waiting bigger groups (worth making a reservation). Octopus pasta was outstanding, chipotle-spiced pasta was good but not great. Choice of red wine by the glass of Chilean Carmenere or Italian Montepulciano; of which the montepulciano was nice if not slightly overpriced. Tiramisu dessert was excellent. Would definitely go back.

Nice little French Restaurante in Mazunte. Food was really good, reasonable prices. Services really good, limited variety of drinks and wines. A place to have a dinner when you visit Mazunte.

Located in a beautiful garden hideaway at the end of San Agustinillo, Bistro Paloma serves fresh local ingredients with a twist. Our chef, Jan, fuses tradicional Oaxacan dishes with his European experience offering a delicious and charming touch.

Although we were guests at the posada, Paloma is open to anyone for food and drinks. We only ever ate breakfast, but it was delicious. The omelets were perfect and the fruit salad has more fruit than at other places (like Mora Cafe). It's a quiet place to sit, and the owners are lovely.
