Find out what Seafood restaurants to try in Mazunte. Mazunte is a small beach town on the Pacific coast in Oaxaca, Mexico (15°39′53″N 96°33′14″W / 15.66485°N 96.55388°W / 15.66485; -96.55388). It is located 22 km southwest of San Pedro Pochutla on coastal Highway 200. Mazunte is located some 10 km to the west of Puerto Angel and just about 1 km from San Agustinillo and 264 km south of the capital of Oaxaca. There are two etymologies for the name. Some sources state that “Mazunte” is derived from a Nahuatl phrase, “maxotetia” which means “please deposit eggs here.” However, older residents of the community state that it is from the word “mizontle,” used by locals to refer to a crab species that used to be very abundant in the area.

I was looking for a place to eat lunch and ended up all the way at the end of the village without being able to find anything open and decent. So I ate here. It was not good at all. The watermelon water tasted sour and spoiled. I asked them to change it which they did. The main dish (something with shrimp) was mediocre. I would not recommend coming here.

We ended up having lunch here by accident (nice surf spot in front). Great cebiche, good chicken soup, outstanding tuna tostadas. We had canilla ice cream and crepes for dessert and loved them.Service is good and courteous, but slow (in synch with the site relax vive)

They have a few seats with a good view of the beach. They have 2-4-1 cocktails starting at 5:00 PM. They make a very good Mezquito (mezcal mojito).Unfortunately, they allow smoking, so it's annoying for non-smokers.

The location for lunch or dinner is great. Very relaxed beachfront restaurant. The fish is really something to order. The guacamole is also well prepared for a snack or starter. Mojitos are well made and not too sugary like the "2 for 1" promotional options at other places. The hamburger is awesome as well.

This restaurant is located at a semi-private beach with views to the sea and beautiful rock formations. The food is delicious and, at night, dinners are specially lovely given the setting.

Nice little French Restaurante in Mazunte. Food was really good, reasonable prices. Services really good, limited variety of drinks and wines. A place to have a dinner when you visit Mazunte.

Octopus resembled rubber, fries were greasy and anemic, mango margueritas were tasty but missing Tequila. Seaside location and service were redeeming features, though not enough to bring us back.

Iâve been coming to Zipolite for a few months a year for the last 3 years, but I hadnât visited La Providencia. Itâs not far, maybe 100 meters from where Iâm staying this year, literally across the street. I was invited by some friends (reservations are required) and there were five of us all told. It was worth the wait, to say the least!!Itâs only open at night, in a fairly secluded spot, nice and quiet, lots of trees, so the âwallsâ are nice and green, like fine dining in a âjunglesqueâ setting. The food and service were nothing short of Excellent in every respect. I had the tuna in a balsamic reduction, and we shared the coconut shrimp entree as an appetizer. Absolutely delicious!!! I also had bites of a great filet mignon, and chocolates mousse for dessert. Mojitos were 5 star, and I will definitely be making the 100 meter trek back to La Providencia very soon. Treat yourself, life is short!
