Where to eat Sushi food in Puerto Escondido: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Discover Restaurants offering the best Sushi 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.

A bit enclosed with uncomfortable seating and what feels like backpackers serving you, this feels like a so-so placeThe menu has staple Thai such as satay and rhom kha soup, as well as housecurry. The taste is however less Thai with more sweetness than sting and rather absent lemongrass.Drinks are cold and served with plenty of ice though

Tired of the other beachfront restaurants and decided to give this place a try. It's small but has the same $M view as all the rest, plus a better view of the town on the hillside, especially at sunset. The fish options are limited, but probably the better to keep it fresh! Tried the sashimi combo first, which included salmon and dorado with cucumber garnish. Very tasty. Still a bit hungry and the sushi chef saw me looking around and came to tell me he had a special roll with snow crab on the inside and a variety of fish on the outside. Tried that and it was delicious. Enjoyed the 2-4-1 margaritas between 5-7, but when the bill came the waiter forgot it was 2-4-1. He corrected it after I reminded him. My rating is based on my pleasant experience on the night, not a competition with all the other sushi bars I've tried elsewhere.

The waitresses were incredibly rude, and ripped us off. We ordered the drink special posted out front and when we received the bill we were charged more than double (not even the regular price). We explained this and they immediately knocked 100 pesos off the price - but not down to the special rate. We then showed the girl the special we meant and she claimed that rate was for next door, we were embarrassed at our mistake but she then checked the sign and claimed it was for margaritas not mojitos - but the sign said mojitos. She was aggressive and sarcastic, I can't imagine how a tourist who didn't speak Spanish would have handled this. In the end we payed the inflated price but I don't understand what went wrong - she lied to our faces about what the board said despite us being able to read it. As we left we checked and the sign was for this bar and said mojitos. If it is a scam to rip off tourists it worked and we won't be returning.
