Fish Shack La Punta

So worth the hype! I ate here everyday whilst in Puerto Escondido. Tacos are unbelievable and fish is so fresh. Service is super fast and all staff are super friendly. A must visit in Puerto!

Solid place and worth the wait. We went twice during our stay. The fried calamari with honey Sriracha sauce was my favorite. We also had ceviche tropical, fish tacos, guacamole, coconut shrimp basket, and fish al pastor tacos. All were really good. The drinks take forever and the name system instead of table numbers is a little chaotic. But, definitely somewhere you should go!

​The hype: justified! ​The Fish Shack in La Punta is worth every visit. The place is tucked away in a small alley and has a really nice, rustic vibe. There is often a line, but don't let that scare you off. It's super organized and the staff is totally attentive. We didn't try the hyped tacos, but the baskets are definitely not to be underestimated let me tell you! The Fish 'n' Chips were amazing. The fish was super tender, fresh, and not too greasy, with a beautifully crispy batter. The homemade tartar sauce served with it was an absolute dream! ​A highlight for me was the fries. The perfect mix between McDonald's and Burger King, nice and salty, soft on the inside, and not too crunchy. Just right. The Combo Fried Vegetable Basket was also huge and the veggies were top-notch. ​👆🏼If you are in La Punta, you have to go here hands down!

Get the fried coconut shrimp taco! At least 2 and you’re well fed. Excellent service. Fun atmosphere and I’ve never had to wait long in line. The food at fish shack is always a good idea!

This spot came highly recommended with lots of good reviews, so we were excited to try it. The vibe is great—laid-back, hippie-style shack with house music and a really cool atmosphere. The food presentation is beautiful: colorful, fresh, and eye-catching. That said, the ceviche, while pretty, lacked the spice and brightness you’d expect from a traditional one. The tacos were fine, but not the most memorable in Puerto. Overall, a fun spot with good energy and presentation, though the flavors could use a bit more punch to live up to the vibe.

We were in Puerto Escondido 4 days and came to Fish Shack 6 times during our stay. We tried everything from the tacos, to mezcal, to burgers and everything was absolutely delicious. 3 tacos for 150$ is super reasonable and the vibes were just chill. Honestly fish shack would be one reason why I would come back to Puerto.

Probably the best fish taco/calamari of the trip, definitely worth the queue. We had the coconut shrimp taco which was amazing. The cocktails were also delicious. Not the cheapest tacos but not unusual for the area and they were worth it.

DELICIOUS little spot tucked away in an alley that leads right to the beach. Laid back vibe but still attentive and great service. We ended up going back 3 times because we loved it so much! Our favorites: cucumber margarita (pleasantly surprised with this one), fish tacos, shrimp tacos, fish sandwich, shrimp po’ boy. I still dream about the po’ boy and the bread!!
