The absolute rudest owner I have ever encountered. We asked PRIOR to sitting if it was alright for…read moreus to bring our coffees in and got the ok. The cafe owner (who only shares the space) proceeded to berate us, curse us out, and had the audacity to tell us that we were being rude. When I politely offered for us to put our drinks away, he said that it didn't matter because we were already being disrespectful (after cursing us out). He then proceeded to horribly yell at the very kind waitress who had taken our order. Come to find out, he only profits if we order his watered down coffee (I would know, I had to force myself to finish his overpriced latte the first time I came here). I've been coming to Puerto Escondido all of my life to visit family and have never had an experience like this in my life. We pride ourselves on being kind and hospitable, so it's unfortunate but unsurprising that a white gentrifier who has come to profit off of Puerto's natural beauty would stray from this norm. It deeply saddens me to see such a beautiful place plagued by disrespectful, entitled leeches like this man. Although I hope he reevaluates the way he treats others, I know his inflated sense of ego won't let him. The best I can do is to warn potential patrons of his shitty coffee and bad attitude. Please support local-owned businesses instead of this bitter white old man.

Genuinly the worst service I received while on this vacation. Made the experience so unpleasant…read morethat we left and cancelled our order. The owner was so incredible rude and disrespectful, in addition to the coffee we had the prior day being truly disgusting. The owner threw out curse words and disrespectful remarks (asked us what world we were from) just because we brought a coffee from another place. Craziest part is, we were sitting at the neighboring papi bowls, not even cafe choc, so for the owner to disrespect us at a different restaurant just for sitting near his was beyond unbelievable. I would never recommend this to anybody

I love markets like this. There was a variety of clothing, a few food stalls, and plenty of…read moresouvenirs. My hubby bought some sandals, and we also got chocolate and and mole to bring back home. There was a particular food stall that we stopped by at for lunch. We each ordered our own fried fish, a gringa, and some thing else I don't remember the name of. The fish was very tasty and crunchy! It came with a small side salad and some white rice. The only problem was that we had to keep shooing the files away.

This is THE outdoor shopping Mecca in Puerto Escondido…read more If you want to spend the day walking about the market haggling for everything & anything this is the place! The best way is to spend the whole day. When you get done shopping, stop in the open food court to have some of the best local foods like chicken & rice or tacos. YOLO, hang with the locals on a communal table and/or just people watch. You will be surprised how much you will laugh & what you can learn ;) Then, mozy on over to the bakery isle & have the best tres leches cake, aka, pan tres leches you have ever had in your life. Highly highly recommend.

I went shortly after it opened and could care less about the " decor " - the food was wonderful and I ate leftovers for 3 days (!!) Never had better. The breads and divine eggplant dipping sauce - I ate it all! The service was perfect - I was the only one there for a bit - I would recommend this place without any reservation. So good!
