Top 10 Seafood food in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico
Discover Restaurants offering the best Seafood food in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. 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.

This place seemed tired and over-rated to us. Although the snapper was decent, all the accompanying sides were poor. The menu mentioned an elaborate potatoe dish, but the indifferent, bored waiter said all they had available were fries. The fries were inedible, cooked in poor quality oil. The salad was bland.Micheladas were good.

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 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.

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.

A friend orders smoked fish to take home, she loves it so much. The owner spent time in Italy and speaks great English! Really delicious shrimp tacos and the smoked fish was also good. Limonada... freshly squeezed lime juice in mineral water with NO sugar is always our favorite refreshing drink!

Great location, but they make you pay there, you cannot charge to the room. Fish Tacos were great, and the staff friendly. The view of the beach and Pacific is a winner.Hola, encantados de leer tu comentario. Saludos cordiales y muchas gracias.
