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.

Ha sido uno de mis lugares preferidos en la zona. Sin embargo, hoy tuve una experiencia decepcionante. Me senté en la mesa que normalmente utilizo, y una persona que no reconocí me indicó que no podía sentarme ahí. Me pidió que me moviera a una mesa pequeña al fondo, sin vista y con poca ventilación, ya que la mesa que elegí era para cuatro personas. Lo que hace esta situación aún más frustrante es que el restaurante estaba completamente vacío en ese momento. Entiendo que es Semana Santa y que quizá esperan más clientes más tarde, pero la manera en que se manejó la situación se sintió poco considerada hacia un cliente local, fiel y de largo tiempo. Es desalentador ver que algunos establecimientos en Zicatela parecen priorizar a posibles turistas sobre los residentes que los apoyamos de manera constante durante todo el año, especialmente en temporada baja. Lamentablemente, esta experiencia me lleva a decidir que hoy fue mi última visita. También compartiré lo sucedido con otras personas

From the front, misleading, but the back (beachfront) this establishment had desks, tables, canopies overhead, and the beach - it was a perfect lunch meeting place with friends and ceviche that was served perfect. I ordered two. Plus the tray of sushi, and yes, this was THE place to be in the afternoon - no regrets whatsoever. Fresh, fast (super fast) worth the cost and not expensive in the least based on the freshness. If you like fish, you have a long list to choose from and expect it to be as fresh as you can imagine, great enough as well to take the heat off you and enjoy the sounds, smells, and tastes of the beach right at your fingertips.

I love crepes and visited with a group of friends after a long day of sightseeing and shopping. We were starving and in need of some relaxation. They serve primarily breakfast and lunch items, with several coffee options and a full bar. The restaurant features and indoor/outdoor space where several cats appeared to be very comfortable, napping on the furniture. There were several local dogs coming and going. I liked the modern decor, in earth tones with several plants and chill music. They had sort of an artsy vibe going on. Service was decent. Despite the language barrier, they could have been a bit friendlier, as they pretty much just took our order and walked away without any friendly hellos. Service did get slow towards the end as it became challenging to track down our check, though that seems to be pretty typical of the town in general. I ordered an iced coffee with milk, which was delicious with a deep, dark espresso. My friend ordered a latte, and commented that it was a bit too strong for her, however I think I would have enjoyed it. I also ordered the Chula crepe which contained ham, mushrooms, tomatoes and oregano. My husband was very happy to order the Tocino, which contained bacon and cheese, some of his favorite ingredients. The crepes were a perfect consistency and very filling. My husband ordered a mixed fruit juice, which was really the consistency of a fruit smoothie. It was tasty and refreshing. All in all, it is a great place for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon coffee or cocktail. You can hang around like we did and pet the dogs and cats that stop in for water and shade.

A real jewel in Zicatela. Very good coffee! The menu has enough savory and sweet offers for…read moreeverybody. However It lacks proper pastries. The portions are big, so only one dish per person should be enough food. The service is excellent, the waiters are friendly and accommodating. The venue is not too big, so if you are not a morning person, you might end up waiting too long to be seated. The dinning area has a lot of fans attached to the walls, so it's cool and prevent mosquitoes flying to your table. The only bad thing is that the street outside is a dirty road. Therefore, if it rains the night before, you will have to walk through the mud, and the puddles kind of have a rotten smell.

Always busy, extensive menu with something for everyone, casual, and reasonably priced. There is usually a crowd waiting to eat here but don't just get in line--make sure you check in and put your name on the waitlist first. They will call your name when a table is ready for you. Although it's bustling, service is prompt & food comes out quickly. Everything we got was solid breakfast. Not pictured but we also ordered takeout from here when I was having stomach problems, and the chicken soup + chocolate cake really hit the spot. I don't think you need to go out of your way to try it but worth eating at if the wait isn't too long and you're in the area!

I had a really nice michelada with my lunch. They brought out complimentary chips and salsa. The habanero salsa was to die for. I also liked the carrots. The third was meh, not sure what it was exactly but it seemed more like something I'd want to dip bread into. Tacos were large and came with all the fixings. Avocado was a little underripe. Fish was delicious however. I also appreciated that they had born corn and flour tacos (for no additional charge). Overall I don't think I'd rush back but it was definitely a decent lunch!

I ordered the falafel wrap with a cold tomato based gazpacho and both of those foods go perfectly together ... the wrap itself is already perfectly balanced with the smooth velvety hummus which paired perfectly with what might have been the best falafel ever and when you have it with the cool refreshing gazpacho it is just perfect on a hot sunny day ... perfectly filling without being too much My partner proceeded to order the shawarma empanada which I snuck a quarter of and that was also perfect with the cool refreshing tomato gazpacho ... if there is one food you should get here though it should be the gazpacho though - esp if you never had it as it is a very unique soup in that it is cool and refreshing while highlighting the best elements of the tomato We also like that they let you have 5 pesos water refills if you bring your own container which is super economical!!!
