The outside sitting area
Wendy A.

This place was amazing! I was recently traveling through Oaxaca and Yelp'ed a good place for seafood, I wanted a place by the beach with great reviews. Although this place doesn't have that many reviews we decided to give it a chance because of its location. Boy we were happy we did! When you first walk in, it looks like nothing much, but as soon as you hit the sitting area you can see the great, simple yet hip decoration they have. The restaurant opens straight to the beach. We were early and they weren't open yet, however the owner was there and allowed us to sit and have a cold water while we waited. Once the kitchen opened, I order a "levanta muertos" which is a mix of fish and shrimp ceviche. My friend ordered a black aguachile, and per the suggestion of the server we got the tuna carpaccio to share. Let's start by saying that we are both picky with our seafood, we don't do "fishy" taste, and have found it hard to find places that meet this criteria when traveling. This place definitely makes the list. The ceviche was so tasty and fresh, I could not believe my taste buds! The aguachile is black due to calamari ink that they put in the mix, but although it sounds weird, the taste is perfect. The only down fall was that it was not really spicy (as we are use to) The biggest surprise however was the tuna carpaccio, it was out of this world! There is literally no words to describe it, but you must try it! We both had a coconut mojito that was super delicious! As you can tell I left a huge fan of this place, we got to meet the owner after (super nice dude, very humble!) and thank him for creating such amazing place!

Delicious ceviche! Perfect beachside location. Stellar service!

Amazing ceviche! & truly amazing service! I went by myself and sat overlooking the big waves and had the friendliest waitress give me the best suggestions for my stay in zicatela. She even brought me a complementary shot of mezcal at the end of my delicious meal. I meant to leave a review earlier and was just reminded of this sweet place after looking over my vacation pics! Much recommended!

No sign. A little hard to find the first time. Across from Hotel Arco Iris

Excellent ceviche in a small restaurant in the sand on Zicatela beach. The fish was very fresh and was served with fried tortillas and a small bowl of a creamy aioli made with chiles and a mayonnaise concoction. Unusual, but I liked it. They had other fish and shrimp offerings but I only had ceviche. The service was professional and knowledgeable. There is no sign, except a small board they put out when open. Strange marketing behavior. You can find it by looking directly across the street from the ATM in front of the Arco Iris hotel. It is next to Juqualitas. I posted a photo of how it looks from the street at night.

Exactly what we were looking for.

After landing, we were ready to eat and found this place near where we were staying. Our taxi…read moredriver also recommended this place, so I was excited to try it, especially since it's located right along the beach. We were celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary on this trip, so we went all out. We ordered aguachile negro, tuna carpaccio, pulpo, vuelve a la vida, suerito, huachinango, and a few cocktails. Salad, potato wedges, and tortillas also came with our meal. Everything was nicely presented and tasted great! All of the dishes were so flavorful. We ended up ordering more of our favorites for our first dinner stop. There was also a young lady playing some tunes, so it made the ambience a little more romantic. She doesn't work for the restaurant, so we just gave her a tip before she left. The only complaint I have is that mosquitos and flies were buzzing around once the sun was starting to set. Other than that, I had a wonderful time here.

Best restaurant in this part of town!! The food, the ambiance, the service and drinks all amazing!…read more Ambiance/service: the place is super trendy and cool. They have some awesome art inside along with their van out front. The area next to the ocean has bean bags that you can sit on and relax. The service staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and quick to help. Food/drinks: the food was delicious! I absolutely love Oaxaca!... we ordered the shrimp which was out of this world good and the red snapper plate which was also absolutely delicious. The drinks were also great along with their wine I would definitely recommend this place if you are in this area, want a wonderful place to eat and be right next to the ocean.

A lot of the reviews here mention long wait and I would have to agree. There is usually a bit of a wait. I came in with a party of 8 so we were told the wait would roughly be 35 minutes, but it came to only 20 minutes. We were seated and the decorations and inside were very fun. The vibes were great and the people were having a great time while the staff helped further lighten up the environment. I asked for recommendations and was told that all the house ceviches were delicious. I went with the Peruvian Ceviche which had tiger milk in it. It was my first time trying Peruvian ceviche and was not disappointed. The flavors were very well balanced and loved all the different textures in the plate. I also ordered a Michelada, which was quite tasty!

Seldom do you have a restaurant so fancy and tasty with a sand floor, but in a beach town, this is…read morethe way. Fine dining at its best in this quaint surf town filled with other good restaurants and beach in abundance. I recommend the very tasty ceviche in "tigers milk" (not sure what the sauce actually is b it wow it's so good). And the beef heart if you're into it. I am. So good. On potato medallions. Crab cake was a bit like Shuba if you like Russian food. Apps are tasty and mains and plentiful, but and bold flavors. Will return if time allows! The servers were very attentive which is not typically this culture so should not be expected.

Restaurante Puerto Angelito

Puerto Angelito is a little fishing port in Puerto Escondido, AKA, "little Angel" fishing/boat port…read morethat also has a fabulous swimming beach. The Main restaurant "Puerto Angelito" sits at the top of a steep steep cliff, like a YUGE concrete fortress with steps going down the front, right to the edge of the water, on the beach. It's quite magnificent actually. Wild, natural, not a commercialized place, no AC, outdoor toilets etc., One day I was here, I literally walked down the steps & jumped into the water with my snorkeling gear on & right there under the sea water, in reaching distance, giant sea turtles were swimming about! Scared the jaheebazees out of me. Anyhoo, it's a fantastic place. A wild, natural, gorgeous beach & a equally fabulous restaurant. There are other smaller restaurants there but this is the main one on the cliff. The best one. If you walk down from town, it's quite a hike. And quite dangerous, as it's on a cliff overlooking the ocean. There are no guard rails or safety steps on the way, your on your on so be careful getting here on foot or just take a taxi. There is a long long long concrete stairway down the cliff, but it is very straight down stairs. You can also follow the road down if the stairs are too scary for you. An "Open Air" restaurant, come as you are. In your bikini no problemo. I spent the best thanksgiving I ever had in my life here in my bikini. They served us the freshest fish! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my gosh. BEST THANKSGIVING DINNER EVER. We had a table right at the edge of the ocean. We swam, snorkeled, drank, ate & swam & drank & ate some more, all day long, wet, in our swimsuits. THE. BEST. DAY. EVER. The local fisherman drag their boats up on the beach after a morning of fishing every day. They bring the days fresh catch straight up to the restaurant. (See pics) You can get just about any kind of seafood here, the fresh fish & the octopus are my favorite as well as the shrimp quesadilla's with the local Oaxaca cheese. They also make a fabulous hot sauce with fresh habanero that I love. They also serve beer & wine & mezcal. The owners family make their own mezcal & it's very good. We drank tons of it. Haha. Good times. I spent just about every day here at the beach for 8 months straight & I never had one bad meal. My absolutely favorite dish is their octopus Tostadas. I ate them all over Puerto Escondido also, but they make the best octopus tostadas I have ever had. Puerto Angelito's octopus tostadas are to.die.4! Big chunky Tender octopus with just the right marinade! YUM! Can't wait to get back to have a plate full of them or two, in my bikini of course hahah. FYI: There is a little oyster farm a few miles down the coast, on Fridays, the fishing boats bring fresh oysters from there, here, to Puerto Angelito & shuck them fresh for you. You can get a couple doz for about $12 USD. Very good oysters. There are no "reservations" for tables & umbrellas on the beach. If you want a good table next to the ocean for the day, get there early. It's always nice to get there early & watch the place open, the place comes alive. It fills up quickly with locals & tourist alike, children running around having a blast. Photo ops everywhere. There are also little shops full of beachy stuff to purchase if you forgot your towel, swimsuit, toys etc., Two days are never the same here but it's always epic in every way. One of my favorite places on earth, my final destination. See you soon.
