Went here twice and the other location three times. While the other location is a bit better in terms of service, this one stands out for obvious reasons - it’s right on the beach and you get a sunset view at dinner. Food equally amazing at both. The tempura shrimp is the best!
Really and truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The food is great but the music and atmosphere and location are even better. But the best; the service. Simply excellent and kind gentlemen! I bumped into one of the waiters at a club across town later that night and he hugged me like a brother. Just lovely. Go and tip well!
Really good fish tacos! My boyfriend and I loved the grilled and fried shrimp tacos. I’m not a huge fan of fried but they were super tasty! My boyfriend said it was the best taco he ever had. Even though it had broccoli inside a taco, surprisingly good.
The food was delicious! It is a small menu but good! Tacos tempura and grill are amazing and the cocktails are pretty good too
LOOOOVE this spot, next level alt fish and shrimp tacos are fabulous. Even if you "don't do fried" get the fried ones and share because they are absolutely massive. Broccoli has no business near tacos in my opinion so the grilled ones are out for me. Aguachile isn't great, it's very odd, closer to ceviche but still not even that. The guacamole is tasty and the sweet potato fries were such a hit! What I love most after the fried fish tacos is the amazing craft cocktails. Don't laugh but the Pina Coladas are just SOOOOOOO good, they're craft made. Beautiful setting and lovely staff. Make it a point to get a meal here at least once. There's another location in Zicatela if the san floor isn't your thing.
Super chill and great music to soothe the atmosphere. Food was delicious! We were expecting 3 small tacos and they were 3 huge tacos! Immat & Eduardo were very friendly, had great recommendations and easy to talk to. 100% recommended.
Tacos. Sand. Adult Beverages. That’s the move. A short, sharp menu—just the essentials from the corral and from the sea—and every bite earns its spot. Good food, salty air, and the kind of setup that makes you wonder why you ever eat indoors. It’s not fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. The flavors hit, the vibes are laid back, and the beach is literally your floor. Yeah, the service runs on beach time—but so should you. You’re a few meters from the ocean in Puerto Escondido watching the sunset, not speed-running lunch in a strip mall. Cold beer, hot tacos, bare feet. Big vibes!
