The 21 Best Restaurants in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca | Eater

"Located in Rinconada, Puerto Escondido’s best dining neighborhood, Almoraduz captures the essence of contemporary Oaxacan cuisine. The menu by chefs Quetzalcóatl Zurita and Shalxaly Macías changes according to the season and privileges organically produced ingredients by local farmers. One of Almoraduz’s iconic plates is the black risotto, which gives primacy to Mexican flavors with huitlacoche, the mushroom that comes out of corn, and tichindas, a lagoon mussel found in the coastal mangroves of Oaxaca. Zurita and Macías’s goal is for their chic restaurant to become a gastronomic landmark in Mexico; they’re well on their way. [$$$-$$$$]" - Tirza Bonifazi
