Top 10 Fusion food in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico
Best Fusion restaurants nearby. Discover the best Fusion food in Puerto Escondido. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for Fusion restaurants near you.. 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.

A quiet table, background music, under the stars ..... how can it get better than that? The food..... Disbaux , a little difficult to find, but worth the look. Excellent wine selection, too. We started with prawns in creme cheese and bacon , grilled, excellent choice. We both chose their fish meal, a Boba fish, served with a choice of sauces. My husband chose the 3 chillies, which he stated had a nice 'bite' to it. I chose the lemon sauce and was not disappointed. Their house specialty dishes I believe are their paellas.... which we will choose on our next visit. We finished our meal with a light gelato type dessert with fresh raspberries. No disappointments here. Believe it is a husband/wife mom/pop restaurant, service was great and the chef is very talented. Look this place up. As of this writing they are not prepared for credit cards, but working on it. Also open at 7 p.m. thursdays to saturdays and a special meal prepared 1 - 5 on sundays.Thanks so much Beachsearchers!

Ate in the back garden and enjoyed the ambiance, the customer service and the delicious coffee and food. They can accommodate with some vegetarian and gluten free options which was much appreciated. Recommend as a lovely hidden spot to enjoy a coffee and breakfast, brunch or dinner.

I hate to say anything bad about anybody or any restaurant or establishment especially if I have not tried the food. I have eaten it all the other Bohemian style restaurants with dirt floors around here But none were quite as dirty and the smell of sewage did not help. Anybody can see from all my other reviews that I will eat just about anywhere but until they get rid of the sewage smell I would not eat there.

A bit enclosed with uncomfortable seating and what feels like backpackers serving you, this feels like a so-so placeThe menu has staple Thai such as satay and rhom kha soup, as well as housecurry. The taste is however less Thai with more sweetness than sting and rather absent lemongrass.Drinks are cold and served with plenty of ice though

We went last night and WOW! What a treat. I had âthe puercoâ and it was amazing with a delicious risotto. My wife had quinoa salad that was exquisite. The prices were good and the wine too! Thank you for a great dinner we will come back once more before the end of our stay.

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 held our annual âBirthday party for everyoneâ event in the loft at Fresh. The view of Playa Zicatela was stunning, as was the sunset. Sipping a delicious margarita watching the sun melt into the horizon was surreal. The food at Fresh is delicious. Try the ceviche for sure. We enjoyed the catch of the day, jambalaya and delicious shrimp dishes. This is one of our favorite spots in Puerto.
