The 21 Best Restaurants in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca | Eater

"Some say that if you didn’t go to El Cafecito, you didn’t go to Puerto Escondido. This place is a true icon, having indulged locals and visitors for 29 years. Having breakfast here while watching the picturesque Zicatela Beach in the early mornings is a classic experience: That’s why there’s always a long line outside. Once you make it inside, the chilaquiles in green sauce are a must, accompanied by hot coffee and freshly made bread. Open from Monday to Sunday from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. [$]" - Tirza Bonifazi

Food here was absolutely amazing and the wait time was completely worth it. Service was fast and filled with a great energy environment. We were able to see the staff joking around and dancing having a great time. The food speaks for itself self as the flavors are stunning. They accept bank cards here which was a great plus. Parking was plentiful and easy to find. Definitely found a go to spot

The food is very good, the menu has a variety of Mexican dishes, couple of international dishes and few see food dishes. We ordered “chiles rellenos con queso”, “Pollo Almendrado” , “Camarones empanizados” & “Pasta Carbonara “ Outside of the restaurant you can find Elena, she is under an umbrella selling beautiful hadcrafts .

Has one of the best chilaquiles I have ever had to date. I asked them to make it extra spicy which they did. Be sure to add the steak on it. Honestly I’d take a trip back here just for the chilaquiles lol. Also the prices are very fair.

We were lured in by the busy atmosphere and good reviews online. Unfortunately the food was terrible and we left most of it behind us. The enchiladas were cold and swimming in water sauce which made them soggy and unappetising. The salsa was also flavourless. The chicken inside the enchilada was chewy. Would not recommend this place.

The food was good and fairly priced! They brought it out quickly during a relatively busy time, but it did take a while to get the bill.

This place is adorable !! The food is delicious and very tasty, the staff is very friendly and kind! The plates are “ enchiladas, tacos, and hamburguesa” Although i recommend that u guys go earlier (way before breakfast, lunch and dinner ) its always people there because its very popular !

There is a reason this has 10k reviews and nearly 5 stars. It's a great restaurant. The atmosphere is top-notch. The service was super fast and friendly, and the restaurant is clean. Now the only issue I have, which isn't an issue, is that it's very popular, so if you're considering going, I'd show up before it opens; otherwise, the lines are long. But they get people in and out quickly. Keep up the great service.
