Restaurant El Nene

The 21 Best Restaurants in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca | Eater

"Steak and seafood are the main draws at El Nene Grill, which sits under a beautiful palapa located in Rinconada. Cuts of New York strip and skirt steak are available alongside the local favorite tasajo and, when it’s in season, seared tuna (pair any of those with a starter of garlic mushrooms). On the restaurant’s walls you can read the phrase, “You don’t drink Mezcal, you kiss it,” an invitation to kiss the house’s large selection of mezcals, though the extended list of their cocktails is also not to be missed. Open from Monday to Saturday from 3 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. [$$]" - Tirza Bonifazi
