    Great smoked fish tacos and shrimp tacos too. We went there twice. Hope to return another day.

    Cool seating areas..

    Smoked Fish taco has now become one of my fave lunch places in Puerto! YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM Yummyliciousness!!!! :).... I am lucky enough to be able to walk pass the little shop on my way down to the la playa manzanillo every morning from my casita. Yay!!! :)) One morning I was walking to la Playa Manzanillo when I ran into a couple of ladies I know sitting on the Smoked Fish Taco patio. So, I decided to stop in for a wee chat. That chat turned into a few beers & then some guac & tacos & a few more beers & well, the rest is history! The place & the menu is very small with only a few items but what the owner/chef makes is absolute perfection :) The place is super clean & decorated like a little surf shop. It's absolutely adorable & it's super inexpensive for super fresh quality tacos. The best cheap eats around I've found that's top notch! I know the smoked fish tacos are very popular around here but are too strong for my taste. However, the fried fish tacos are sooooooo good yum yum yum yum yum but I think the Camarón (shrimp) tacos are the BOMB! When you order the tacos, you get a set up of 3 sauces. A simple habanero salsa that is just fresh tomato, habanero & salt. A cilantro pesto sauce that is made with olive oil & it's 2.die.4! The third is a marinated onion & carrot, with a side of fresh limes. I LOVE this one! This is how you do it...squeeze some lime on the carrots/onions & put a little salt if you like. Simply Amazing! Goes great with the fish tacos & a cold beer. You can get water, sodas & beers to drink. And if your really nice, you might get some of the owner/chef's sisters own mezcal. Served either cold or room temperature which ever you prefer. The owner/chef told me his sister owns a YUGE farm up near Oaxaca City & makes her own mezcal. It's very good too! It's the kind of mezcal that you "kiss the mezcal" you don't shoot it. You drink it a tiny bit at a time. You "kiss the mezcal" again & again till it's gone, then, so are you quite frankly. LOLOLOLOL Their hours are limited, 10am to 6pm just beach hours. It's just a lunch place so get over there have some amazing tacos & if you are so inclined, pucker up & start "kissing the mezcal" baby! Highly highly recommend :)

    Omg this is my favorite taco place of all time We got three different types of tacos: smoked fish, fish and shrimp and I loved all of them but I would say my favorite was the shrimp (I love shrimp) and second favorite was the fish. The taco was perfectly balanced, the seafood was soft without being too oily and the crema and fresh topics all added to it just being the best taco ever ... They also gave us salsa and chips with our meal and we had every bite ... salsa was perfect and we loved the spicy pickled carrots and peppers they served on the side ... They also had this unique "herbal dulce" drink which is a type of refreshing iced tea that isn't too sweet The decor is humble but this place is super packed because it has the best food ... I would love to come here again!

    Everything is great here. The smoked fish tacos are unique, and the rest of the menu is well executed. The guac is chunky and yummy.

    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!

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.

    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.
