Seldom do you have a restaurant so fancy and tasty with a sand floor, but in a beach town, this is the way. Fine dining at its best in this quaint surf town filled with other good restaurants and beach in abundance. I recommend the very tasty ceviche in "tigers milk" (not sure what the sauce actually is b it wow it's so good). And the beef heart if you're into it. I am. So good. On potato medallions. Crab cake was a bit like Shuba if you like Russian food. Apps are tasty and mains and plentiful, but and bold flavors. Will return if time allows! The servers were very attentive which is not typically this culture so should not be expected. read more

We had heard really good things about Chicama and while being near Puerto Escondido, my group and I decided to check it out. A lot of the reviews here mention long wait and I would have to agree. There is usually a bit of a wait. I came in with a party of 8 so we were told the wait would roughly be 35 minutes, but it came to only 20 minutes. We were seated and the decorations and inside were very fun. The vibes were great and the people were having a great time while the staff helped further lighten up the environment. I asked for recommendations and was told that all the house ceviches were delicious. I went with the Peruvian Ceviche which had tiger milk in it. It was my first time trying Peruvian ceviche and was not disappointed. The flavors were very well balanced and loved all the different textures in the plate. I also ordered a Michelada, which was quite tasty! read more

Simple, cool and chill. We ordered the ceviche peruano (9 of the p) and the fish of the day with teriyaki sauce (9,5 of 10). Its a really good option. The price is the average of the zone (overpriced for me, but it is what it is). read more

Really amazing spot in Puerto Escondido. Great fresh seafood served here! Service was fast and although it was peak dinner time, we were seated quickly. The food was incredible. I must say, I did feel my order of camarones a la persillade would have been better paired with rice instead of quinoa. My friends had the drinks and absolutely loved them! Place is a bit loud, so if you're looking for something quiet or less busy, this isn't the spot. We did see them play Feliz Cumpleaños to one of the other customers, so this is a great birthday spot for anyone looking for one! The prices are reasonable and portions are adequate. Definitely check this spot out! The brownie dessert was quite interesting. The brownie itself was nothing extraordinary. I will note that it was served on a plate with a milky liquid, crema inglesa, which wasn't overly sweet. I do feel the cream inglesa tasted better than the brownie itself. Feel free to skip dessert here. note: my friends and I did not make a reservation-- not sure if they take any read more

We tried eating here the night before, but they were too packed, so we tried again the next day at an earlier time and got seated towards the back. We ordered so much food and drinks! The decor is very interesting! The floor is made out of sand and there is a branch holding up a light build in the restroom stalls. There was also some graffiti artwork on one of the walls. We shared the tricolor tiradito, garlic shrimp, tiradito serrano, Peruvian ceviche, and black fish. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. My hubby liked the chilled serrano dish so much, that he ordered another one for himself. I liked that the dishes were so colorful and came with plantains, cornuts, and shaved corn. For drinks, we had the agua pina, fresa, jengibre, the toronja and romero, chetu mare, molinari, pisco sour, mezcal sour, shots of mexcal espadin, and a beer. The drinks were nice and strong and the agua frescas were healthy tasting. We also decided to try the dessert of the day and it was some kind of yummy chocolate cake. Service was excellent and the music was great- we even did some dancing and he sang along to a few songs. Everyone here is just so happy and tipsy haha. No wonder we couldn't get seats the night before. I just wanted to point out that my hubby got food poisoning a few hours afterwards and we think it was from the dish the tiradito dish that we didn't share. Overall, we had a great time here and would still come back though, if we happen to be travelling here again. read more

Visited this week for lunch with a group of 4 other friends. We were all in town for a wedding and this was recommended to us. We went for a late lunch on a Sunday and there were not many other people there at that time. Chicama has a sand floor and wait staff are walking around barefoot so it has a really unique and awesome beach vibe. The place looks small from the outside but it is a little deceiving because it wraps around to the right after the bar area. They make everything fresh in an open kitchen and their Peruvian cuisine was AMAZING. We ordered a bunch of different dishes and it was easily our favorite meal of the trip. I am sharing pictures with the review and, if we had to pick a winner, it was the tartare de pescado, but honestly, it would be hard to go wrong with anything on their menu. The prices were less than other places we went yet the portions and quality were greater. The total meal plus 7 drinks came to under 2500 pesos and we were all very full by the end. Wait staff spoke English which was helpful for us and they were really attentive and wonderful. The menus have descriptions in both Spanish and English but the English was blurred a bit on many of the menus. Highly recommend checking them out if you are in the area. read more

Really great seafood options, especially the ceviche. Seems to always be a line out the door here. Very loud music though, fun vibe but wish they had it a bit lower so it would be easier to talk read more

Tigers milk ceviche! I've been to Peru and this restaurant does a fantastic job on Peruvian ceviche. Everything was delicious. We had the garlic buttery shrimp, tigers milk ceviche (not pictured) and the sashimi with option to choose 3. We chose all the ones with spice! Soo bomb, we would go here again!! Drinks were on point too, had the mezcal sour & my partner had many different types of mezcals. read more

Very confused. For such a nice place why allow smoking inside the restaurant? Food and service good. Ambiance super trashy. I'm not paying to inhale peoples' smoke while I eat. It's 2022. Especially since most people don't smoke these days I'm a little perplexed as to why we are accommodating for the smokers? People can smoke outside. read more

El ceviche peruano está buenísimo. Lo único mal es que son mesas compartidas. Laos meseros muy amables. Los Baños podrían mejorar.

A friend recommended this for seafood and I was pleasantly surprised at the service and food quality. The staff speak English and are very attentive to any need. I recommend the "black fish" which is a large piece of tuna covered in black sesame seeds and served with teriyaki sauce. read more

Food was fantastic!! We took the recommendations from our sever and it was the right choice. Party of 4 who all ordered something different so that we could share. Black fish, ceviche, shrimp and sweet potato dish were all superb. The only reason for 4 stars is that the music was so incredibly loud, it was difficult to carry on a conversation at our table. I love music but it was just too loud. read more
