“ If you want a nice simple breakfast Coffee and drinks 380 pesos ”
“ We had dinner here twice and I would say this is the nicest place in the Playa Principal area. The views of the beach are wonderful, the service is great and all the food we had was very delicious. The portions are also big. Highly recommended. ”
“ I had breakfast here twice because it’s so lovely. My cheese and mushroom omelette came beautifully garnished with slices of tomato, avocado and onion and, of course, a generous helping of refried beans with cheese sprinkled on top. Good “espresso” coffee too and charming staff. With views of the ocean and cooling ceiling fans, what’s not to like?! ”
“ Came here as I saw a photo of the seafood soup posted on someone’s blog and it’s true the soup is incredible! This is what you should order here. Hidden on the bottom of the bowl there’s a whole crab, lots of octopus , tasty shrimps and fish. The bisque broth was perfectly balanced. The other reviews are true too that a part of the terrace has a view on what looks like a little river (or sewage?) arriving on the beach but just sit not too close to the edge of the terrace and it doesn’t matter. Good temperature, fans and shade for lunch. If you want a great value tasty seafood soup , this is your best bet in puerto ”
“ We really enjoyed this restaurant. The view was gorgeous, food delicious, and the server was very pleasant and efficient.I had the shrimp tacos and loved every bite! I highly recommend this restaurant in Puerto Escondido. ”
