    We ate a different location during our trip, but my friend wanted to go here again, as our last meal before our flight. There was a bit of a wait, but not as long as the other location. We got complimentary bread rolls and ordered a couple of chocolate oaxaquenos and a tropical smoothie to start with. The hot chocolate had pretty latte art- one said zicatela and the other said El Cafecito. I personally had the sopa Azteca, since it sounded interesting. It was essentially a tortilla soup with cheese, avocado, and chipotle. It was light and very flavorful. My hubby ordered a chicken soup since he still had food poisoning and it helped him feel a little better. My friends ordered molletes, a side of bread, and pollo almendrado. The molletes looked really good and everyone seemed to enjoy their lunch. Overall, the food and service was pretty good, but I wouldn't wait in a long line to eat here.

    Food was delicious, big portions, the coffee was strong and hits the spot. Lots of choices on menu took awhile to finally decide

    This place does not live to the hipe. I was curious about the long queues and good reviews in yelp. Sadly, it is only a good restaurant if you do not know shit about Mexican food. The experience came to a good start. The venue is in front of the beach with nice morning sea breeze coming into the place. Then everything went south pretty fast, the pastries looked good but without flavor, soggy and stone cold. We had to ask them to reheat the bread. To which they oblige, but it visually bother them. Before ordering we asked a few questions, two different waiters came up with different answers. Then the worst part: the food... as a Mexican, we have a pretty good idea of how the Mexican food should taste. The tacos were cold, the tortilla barely heated (they told us they were fried and with quesito), steamed and with prensa cheese (which doesn't melt). When we ask them to fried the tacos the refused (because is very hard to fried a tortilla). The mole was not "black mole" as the assures us (one of the waiters), without seasoning. The only good thing was the chocolate. If you are looking for a nice place to have breakfast/brunch in puerto Escondido. Skip this place unless you are into this kind of things.

    Food decent service terrible. I had to wait like 30 minutes to get my check and it was not busy. So many other places to eat avoid this place.

    Chilaquiles verdes with huevos estrellados

    Best breakfast in Puerto Escondido. Portions were huge and the chilaquiles were to die for.

    Molletes and chilaquiles

    Always packed, you have to wait. But they have great prices and variety. It's good! Fast service! A very famous place if you come here!

    Dinner

    Awesome. Can't recommend this place enough. Affordable and comfortable. Always busy so you know it's good. Amazing breakfast and dinner. Ate here at least once a day for a week.

    Chilaquiles with tasajo

    Great food! Had the chilaquiles with tasajo and was really good. Has some freshly squeezed juice and was ready to go! Service was great and polite.

    See all
