The outside sitting area
Wendy A.

This place was amazing! I was recently traveling through Oaxaca and Yelp'ed a good place for seafood, I wanted a place by the beach with great reviews. Although this place doesn't have that many reviews we decided to give it a chance because of its location. Boy we were happy we did! When you first walk in, it looks like nothing much, but as soon as you hit the sitting area you can see the great, simple yet hip decoration they have. The restaurant opens straight to the beach. We were early and they weren't open yet, however the owner was there and allowed us to sit and have a cold water while we waited. Once the kitchen opened, I order a "levanta muertos" which is a mix of fish and shrimp ceviche. My friend ordered a black aguachile, and per the suggestion of the server we got the tuna carpaccio to share. Let's start by saying that we are both picky with our seafood, we don't do "fishy" taste, and have found it hard to find places that meet this criteria when traveling. This place definitely makes the list. The ceviche was so tasty and fresh, I could not believe my taste buds! The aguachile is black due to calamari ink that they put in the mix, but although it sounds weird, the taste is perfect. The only down fall was that it was not really spicy (as we are use to) The biggest surprise however was the tuna carpaccio, it was out of this world! There is literally no words to describe it, but you must try it! We both had a coconut mojito that was super delicious! As you can tell I left a huge fan of this place, we got to meet the owner after (super nice dude, very humble!) and thank him for creating such amazing place!

Delicious ceviche! Perfect beachside location. Stellar service!

Amazing ceviche! & truly amazing service! I went by myself and sat overlooking the big waves and had the friendliest waitress give me the best suggestions for my stay in zicatela. She even brought me a complementary shot of mezcal at the end of my delicious meal. I meant to leave a review earlier and was just reminded of this sweet place after looking over my vacation pics! Much recommended!

No sign. A little hard to find the first time. Across from Hotel Arco Iris

Excellent ceviche in a small restaurant in the sand on Zicatela beach. The fish was very fresh and was served with fried tortillas and a small bowl of a creamy aioli made with chiles and a mayonnaise concoction. Unusual, but I liked it. They had other fish and shrimp offerings but I only had ceviche. The service was professional and knowledgeable. There is no sign, except a small board they put out when open. Strange marketing behavior. You can find it by looking directly across the street from the ATM in front of the Arco Iris hotel. It is next to Juqualitas. I posted a photo of how it looks from the street at night.

Exactly what we were looking for.

After having dinner at a nearby restaurant, we stopped by this place for round 2. We ordered some…read moredrinks, beers, ceviche, 2 lobsters, shrimp, and a tiradito dish. The wait was very long to get our food. It was nice to much on complimentary chips and salsa while we were waiting. Although the food was nicely presented, the food was not as fresh as the other place and not as flavorful either. The service was not very great, but atmosphere was pretty cool. I did enjoy our refreshing drinks though. I think this place is better for drinks and hanging out, not so much as a restaurant.

This restaurant must be relatively new, but I give it 5 stars and I think its the best spot on…read moreZicatela Beach, but I'm not an Escondido expert. I've only been there twice and to be honest, I liked Canabrava so much, I went there for 3 great dinners and for a beatiful breakfast on the porch every morning. The service was not the greatest, but the food was great. We tried most of the entree items and everything was really tasty. I would recommend the catch of the day, which is usually - fresh Mahi Mahi. The steak and grilled dishes were great. The beers and mezcal flowed here, but it was always difficult to get our waiters attention. It is such a liesurely atmosphere in Escondido - it's hard to get too impatient when you're in paradise and the waves are crashing 200 yards from the restaurant. Try to get reservations and request a beachside table - these are preferred. I think the breakfasts here are also very nice. My friends had beautiful dishes, I prefer only coffee with the wonderful Pistachio mezcal crema (be sure to buy some bottles of this!!). I always snuck in a small bottle and had an excpetional pistachio coffee every morning to start the day - so damn good! I'm sure there are many, many great restaurants in Escondido, but for proximity to Zicatela, relaxing atmosphere, beach and great food - I highly recommend this spot and I will go there again on my next Escondido adventure.
