Top 5 Mediterranean food in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico
Reviews on Mediterranean food in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. Looking for a tropical Mexican fishing village with relaxing beaches, oceanfront seafood bars and restaurants, unspoiled reefs for diving and snorkeling, and waves suitable for championship surfing? Puerto Escondido has all that plus the Laguna de Manialtepec mangrove lagoon for tours combining kayaking, boating, bird-watching, and swimming in phosphorescent waters. Regularly scheduled airline service links Mexico City and Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido Airport (PXM)Rent an umbrella at the town beach, Playa Principal, which parallels the Avenida Perez Gasga hotel and restaurant row. Stop in one of the hotels near the beach for a drink or take the family horseback riding. A small freshwater lagoon at the mouth of the river, Rio Rigadillo, marks the border with Playa Marinero, which has waves suitable for beginning surfers. The whole family will enjoy the mile-long shoreline walkway known as Andador Escénico, which leads across the rocks to El Faro lighthouse and the Sueño Posible scenic overlook. Beyond the lighthouse, Playa Principal transitions into Playa Manzanillo, a swimmable beach with clear waters extending towards Puerto Angelito. Rent a boogie board or equipment to snorkel the coral and rocks. If Playa Manzanillo gets too crowded on a holiday weekend, catch one of the water taxis linking Puerto Escondido’s seven beaches. Hire a skiff to take the family sightseeing or dolphin and sea turtle viewing. Fish for trophy sailfish or catch a dinner of yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi (dorado), grouper, roosterfish, mackerel, or snapper. Watch the experts surf the 6-15 foot swells and hollow tubes of Playa Zicatela. International competitions in August and November draw the pros to demonstrate their prowess on the Mexican Pipeline. Snorkel or surf the clear shallow waters beneath the high cliffs surrounding Playa Carrizalillo. High red cliffs, housing, and hotels surround riptide-plagued Playa Bacocho, which is good for long romantic beach walks and sunsets. For more adventure, dive Pressure Point’s tectonic plate fault lines or Punta Colarada’s volcanic overhangs, ledges, and lava rock swimthroughs. If you are lucky you will see lobsters, stingrays, moray and snowflake eels, barracudas, yellow tangs, parrotfish, and puffers.

We went last night and WOW! What a treat. I had âthe puercoâ and it was amazing with a delicious risotto. My wife had quinoa salad that was exquisite. The prices were good and the wine too! Thank you for a great dinner we will come back once more before the end of our stay.

El Sultan became a weekly (or sometimes daily) stable for me when I was in Escondido. Their food is all fresh made, delicious and extremely affordable. They even have a small climbing wall and aerial silks for play next to the restaurant. Make sure you try the Falafel wrap (or two) along with a Coco Frio : )

I would highly recommend visiting Las Margaritas to anyone staying in Puerto Escondido. Located in the middle of the down-town area, Las Margaritas is a world away from the ultra-touristic commercialised strip of La Zicatela and serves real Oaxacan food at incredible prices. The restaurant is cool and spacious, the staff are attentive and friendly, and the food is packed with flavour and served generously. For those looking to escape some of the superficiality that can be found along the main hotel area, this is your spot.

We had salad with walnuts, apples and gorgonzola and 2 pizzas, the vegetarian and one with salami & olives, I would highly recommend all of them. Itâs in the details, great sauce, good cheese - good quality ingredients in the right proportions. When I saw the size of the glass of wine (large) I thought it may not be great, but I enjoyed it very much too. Thanks to the cook, weâre in Mexico for 4 months and need a good pizza some times.
5. El Habanero Loko zicatela
Reviewed By judyross2016
The location is on Zicatela beach where you can watch the surfers and the sunset. We started with the guacamole appetizer...more than enough for two and d licious. I had a grilled fish fillet (Dorado) that was the best tasting that I can remember. My husband had grilled shrimp that he said was delicious. The service was perfect. Tables were beautifully set including bright cloth tablecloths. Very reasonably priced. We will definately eat there again when we return to Puerto Escondido.
