Perfect beach bar for drinks and dinner - service is amazing, the team is so friendly & even helped us pull out a surprise cake and candles as we told them we were celebrating a birthday in the group. And the margaritas are amazing!!!

A hidden gem - some is the best ceviche I’ve ever had (huge portion and so cheap) and beautiful location

I spent 4 years waiting to return to this place. The tostadas are out of this world especially the ones with curry! The environment is 10/10. Literally dreaming and finally made it back here after 4 years. Same quality after all this time. Highly recommend.

My favorite place for seafood/ tostadas and Sashimi in Puerto Escondido. The vibes are immaculate, the service is excellent and I always leave full and happy. The prices are also unbeatable. I came here at least 5 times during my 3-week stay

Walking along the beach, we decided to come into this restaurant. There was seating with a beach view, comfy couches and various seating arrangements which included tables and seating at the bar. The family that owns the restaurant was very friendly and very very nice. That servers were very helpful speaking both English and Spanish. He asked what we liked and didn’t like and then recommended some dishes. We had the ceviche which was absolutely amazing! We also had the guacamole, fish tacos, shrimp tostadas and mezcalitas which was sooooo goooood! As we were eating, a storm rolled in from nowhere and dumped buckets of rain on us for a few hours. Because of the massive amounts of rain that came down, the restauratuers dug trenches around us to divert the rain “rivers” around our table so we could continue eating uninterrupted. We were so grateful and actually offered to help, but they insisted they would handle the situation and we very hospitable. We stayed through the deluge and enjoyed our delicious food. We met others in the restaurant and laughed about the rains and the “rivers” while taking shots with each other. Some were locals, some were fellow tourists so we had a good time given our situation. The dog ended up staying near our table since we were dry and since we move animals, we enjoyed their company as well. As our night was nearing an end, the owners came over to offer us some mezcal, two types, one with the plant the mezcal is made from and one with a scorpion in it. Pechuga and Espadin. They are very different and very delicious. We had a night of great food, great people and memories to last a lifetime. I highly recommend spending your time here for the same. You will not regret it.

Always the freshest Never left unsatisfied Service 10/10 Happy days. Xxx Surf in the ocean eat fresh ocean food
