LOVE LOVE LOVE Brad's split coconut!!!…read more "I don't know the reason I stayed here all season Nothin to show but this brand new tattoo But it's a real beauty A mexican cutie How it got here I haven't a clue" I can't really tell you everything that goes on at the split coconut bc I can't remember half & chose not to tell the other. Lol This is THE best beachside shanty restaurant/bar in Port. I watched the Super Bowl this year right from this place with the sand between my toes. That was a good day. Good times. Lol One of the best things about the Coconut is that it's owned by this very cool laid back Canadian guy. I have seen him bartend, take orders, bust tables, he really cares about his business & everyone loves him. A real Jimmy Buffet type & type of place. Not only do all the Canadians flock here for Wednesday night horseshoes, Thursday/Friday night live music & Saturday night open mic night, the locals come in droves too. Mainly bc of the incredible BBQ!!! There is a giant grill parked right next to the bar & most days the bar opens by 2pm & they crank that BBQ up & start making ribs, burgers & the fresh catch of the day they just picked up off the fishing boats right from the Pacific Ocean 200 yards in front of the place. Coconuts sits right on the beach just left of Playa Principle where all the fisherman bring in their fresh catch every morning at 6:00am. The fish specials change daily but there is always ribs, burgers & BBQ on the menu. The Burgers are incredible & he even makes his own BBQ sauce & it's fantastic! I don't even like BBQ sauce & I like his. Very tangy, kinda tropical YUM! :)' What I really love is the grilled fish of the day! Omg, super fresh fish right from the pacific ocean 200 yards away, to the BBQ, to your mouth! It's 2.die.4! I especially love the keg tooth fish, the sail fish & the mahi mahi. The rice & fresh veggies that comes with it is the best I have had in Port. Perfect every time & seasoned to perfection. It's not fancy, its more like homemade. Served on plastic tables & chairs in the sand right on the beach. Come in your swimsuit, no shit no shoes no problem. Wednesday's are horseshoe night. Not my thing but the Canadian men especially love this night. When there is live music/a band playing on the weekends it's always epic good vibes. It's kinda divey but they have the best live music on the beach & incredible fresh food. The drinks are strong & the service is great. Every day around sunset, the BBQ is smoking, the sun is setting over playa Principle's lighthouse & the sailboats that have anchored there for the night, right off the beach. They gently float in the surf where the surfers are getting in their last rides of the day. Just epic stunning views. If your looking to be wasting away again in Margarita-vile, searching for your lost shaker of salt, some people will claim that there's a woman to blame here, now I think, hell, it could be MY fault. LOL Cheers! Highly Highly Recommend :))

The opening time was vague but as soon as they were open we ordered two burgers. Both the beef and the vegetarian burgers were excellent, the fries were fine, the ketchup a bit sweet but the burger didn't need it. It's not an American burger but it's a great Mexican burger and cheap! About $6 for a burger and fries.

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

The restaurant looks really inviting although it is situated next to a quite busy road. I went to this restaurant several times because it was situated near our hotel, I love the "outside" seating under a big palm leaf roof, the staff were really really friendly and the food was really good for a great price. As the name says "pizza time" they have pizza on the menu, at first it look thick and American style but when you bite into a slice you will notice it is really crunchy "Italian style" pizza. That is exactly how I like my pizza. They have other things on the menu such as spaghetti and lasagna. We were told the lasagna was a speciality of the restaurant, because lasagna is one of my favourite meals I had to try this one; it was good but not anything to write home about. Other than Italian dishes they also have an extra hamburger menu, it exists out beef, chicken and fish burgers. I tried the chicken "Hamburger Time", a huge burger which was quite hard to eat because it was so full, the sauce was delicious (a kind of chipotle sauce) together with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese and bacon. It was simply delicious!! The hamburger was served with French fries. All of the portions are huge so if you are with children think about ordering between you. An extra point of interest, you get a stamp per person who eats in the restaurant, when you collect 10 stamps you get 50 pesos off your next visit. Some extra info on this restaurant: a Canadian man came over to our table to ask if everything was O.K., he that he had set up this business, together with a few others, via his own initiative to help local teenagers to learn and have a goal in life. Because of his religious background he started to teach teenagers different aspects to run small businesses, when the teenagers had enough knowledge he let them run the businesses and all the aspects themselves. All of the staff are shareholders of their own business. I really liked this idea and you really noticed this because in this way the people are more motivated and always willing to improve their own business. Because of the religious background they do not serve alcohol but you can buy some in the Corona store next to the restaurant and drink it with your meal without a problem.

I asked for the Rona-Rita frappe AGAIN & while I was waiting for my second drink to be made, I was eaten alive by fleas! I looked under the table & fleas & bugs were crawling all over by the thousands!!! I jumped up as the waiter was coming with my drink, that was another "mystery" drink, didn't resemble anything like I had last year, and said "LOOK" pointing to the floor under the bench! I started saying "NO NO NO NO NO, there are FLEAS everywhere!!!" As I started walking out! And he whipped a can of OFF out of his APRON & started spraying like no big deal!!!! This place has gone way down hill & is TOTALLY INFESTED WITH FLEAS!!! What makes it even worse is that they obviously know it & think a can of OFF is going to fix the problem!!!! Nothing is going to fix what I saw with my own eyes except a exterminator. BEWARE!!!!

Waitresses are very cool and really nice.. The vibe is very friendly and laid back.. We met a few different sets of people here that we spent some time with through out our trip.. Not to mention a few of the staff.. I would highly suggest the fish tacos.. In addition to having wonderful fresh fish, their cabbage and accompanying vegetables on the tacos were better than others on Puerto Escondido. It was a little more California style than say a traditional Mexico.. It was also refreshing that they had flour tortillas as we had been eating corn for two weeks straight.,. I would not recommend something like their say, spaghetti with clams sauce but, if you stick to the tacos, they were the best around.. Also a fun place to go for a few beers during the day to escape the hot sun and hang out with some people.
