If you are looking for the best tacos in Puerto Escondido--and honestly, possibly the world--this…read moreis the place. I've eaten hundreds of tacos at Parrilla Mixteca, and every single time I visit Puerto, it's the very first stop I make. I've tried Al Pastor all over, and nothing else even comes close to theirs! The service is fantastic, and the staff couldn't be friendlier. Watching them work is a total art form, and they're cool enough to let you film videos of them preparing the food. The whole experience is as authentic as it gets--everything comes out insanely fast, and you can just keep adding to your tab as you eat before they tally it up at the end. Every now and then, street musicians will wander in to play a few tunes while you eat. The setup is pretty basic--just wooden tables, plastic chairs, and simple restrooms--but nobody comes here for luxury; you come for the mind-blowing food. Besides, if you've made it to Puerto, you're an adventurous soul anyway! Incredible food, unmatched Al Pastor, awesome staff, and amazing prices. You can't miss it.

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!

This place has been opened for 30 years and is a favorite among locals.. We had asked several…read moredifferent people their favorite restaurant for seafood and they all gave Magaly as their definitive recommendation. One of the best fried fish I have ever had. It is perhaps 3 blocks away from a really nice strip of markets as well, where one can walk their lunch off.. But you enter this non descript storefront and dont think much of the place.. Eventually, you are taken through to the back seating area which is much more spacious and comfortable.. You can also get a clear view of their tiny kitchen and the few cooks working there. Tables filled with locals eating beautiful plates of food. Once we noticed all of this, we were no doubt excited.. We asked to order a whole fish and the woman left our table and returned with two beautiful fish.. One was a Porgy looking guy and other a red snapper.. Both were clear eyed and fresh.. We asked for the Porgy looking guy.. This is a very good sign as I we have been served frozen fish at other places nearby. But, if the place has a lot of local traffic, there is no time to freeze fish. We asked for the fish to be fried and covered in garlic.. Or Ajo... The fish was amazing.. It was fried perfectly, it was pre-marinated and sliced with three cuts on each side.. Meat was cooked perfectly, outside crispy, little bits of outside bone were crunchy and edible.. But, the star was how well the fish was seasoned with the garlic rub.. Damn, so good.. We also ordered their Fish Soup.. Another staple in the area but, this was amazing.. The stock was super rich, dark and fishy.. Their was various cuts of fish, shrimp and some shellfish added to this stock.. We could not stop eating this soup.. One could tell the time and care that went into the stock.. The added in seafood was cooked perfectly.. There was even a large tail section of a snapper in it.. We also ordered shrimp diablo which is like a sweet and sour sauce added with a little chipotle.. Served with fries and rice I believe.. While this is a local favorite dish, this was my first time having it.. While the shrimp were fresh and cooked perfecltly and the fries fried perfectly, the actually dish is not my favorite.. But, if you like diabla sauce, this is a great version. .Don't get me wrong we ate every last bite but, it is more personal preference. Lunch with a few beers and mezcals Was less the 25 dollars USD.. Much less actually.. This was among the best meals we had in Mexico... This is a must visit.. Get the fish soup, the fried fish with garlic and then try something else.

This place has decent Pozole - price is reasonable considering how large the portion is - but I…read morehave to be honest that the pozole here is just not as flavorful (or as good a deal) as the pozole at Taqueria Rosy which is the best pozole I ever had. This place is also not nearly as crowded as Taqueria Rosy so I feel like that is saying something also. However, this place has a much more extensive menu and like I said before the pozole is decent. My partner ordered the pork pozole and I tried everything in his bowl except for the meat and really enjoyed it - esp with the lime juice which I think it needed. Also interesting that they gave you chicharon. One thing I did really like was how much radish they gave you in your soup and there was a lot of tasty sauces you could add also. The atmosphere was also nice and the waiter attentive. The portion size furthermore was huge and my partner and I had no problem feeling full after sharing a meal.

Unfortunately, Rosey's was closed on back to back days so I will truly never know if Rosey's is better than La Cazuela. La Cazuela is a cool joint. Yes aside from the infamous pozolez the restaurant does serve a decent taco. I tried the Tinga and suadero. Lived both. Now, let's talk about the pozole which seems to be what La Cazuela is known for. If I were to tell you that the pozole is served bland, you might say I don't know squat. Suffice to say that Cazuela understands the taste buds of all people. If you happen to know a thing or two about pozole, you will know it's always about the base. The added ingredients that add glover yo your dish cones readily available at the table side. If this a good thing or bad thing. Well, in my opinion I was able to add the right amount of each ingredient to make my pozole taste as good as I like it No harm or foul, especially when you consider that place is filled with locals that know a thing or two about making their bowel of pozole taste like Mamas. That being said, swing by and to taste a large bowl. A concert to remember in this case if you don't like flavoring your own food, like menudo you're in the wrong place.
