We ordered Camarones Costeños, Sopa de Frijol, Manzana Verde, Empanadas, Camarones Oaxaqueños. Everything we ordered was delicious. The service was on par with making sure our drinks are full and the food was good. Would be wise to make reservations for the evening, this place is packed with people. Inside is air conditioned which is nice relief from the heat. We really enjoyed our time with the friendly server. Very clean washrooms Street parking on very narrow streets.

Do not miss this restaurant. It was recommended to us by a local who knows the owner. I would have…read moretaken more photos but the food was so delicious, I ate it before I remembered to photograph. We got the special tuna tacos and the fish of the day. We also got the shrimp summer roll appetizer, a margarita, a cocktail with mezcal, orange juice and grenadine, and the churros for dessert. Did I mention the view of the private beach? It felt like our own private resort getaway. The restaurant is at the bottom of what seems like a decent size mountain with many hotels and houses along the way. When we come back to Huatulco, this will be our special dinner for the trip again.

The churros with condensed milk and chocolate were a great hit too. 8/10 We hope to come back to try all of the other delicious items on the menu.

It took me a good 20 minutes to get here, walking through several dirt paths, bit I did finally find it. The dirt paths are a part of Zipolite, and I would suggest for you to try them out. There are actually quite a few hotels and cafes down this way. I ordered the nuevos Mexicanas which I closed refried beans and rice. The breakfast package also I closed a small coffee and fruit dish, as well as, the everyday tortillas. There was one Server working the entire restaurant and she did the best that she could. The jie is Mexicanas and refried beans were money, however the coffee was somewhat cold. I needed to request that it be reheated. The actual ambiance is what makes this place, set right in the middle of the beach jungle. Just fantastic!

Amazing place!! Great food! Attentive service. Peaceful music. Fresh ingredients. Must go!read more

"Pizza Time" or now better known as "Familia Time" has a great location at the entrance of the…read morebeaches Carizalillo and Bacocho. The restaurant looks really inviting although it is situated next to a quite busy road. I went to this restaurant several times because it was situated near our hotel, I love the "outside" seating under a big palm leaf roof, the staff were really really friendly and the food was really good for a great price. As the name says "pizza time" they have pizza on the menu, at first it look thick and American style but when you bite into a slice you will notice it is really crunchy "Italian style" pizza. That is exactly how I like my pizza. They have other things on the menu such as spaghetti and lasagna. We were told the lasagna was a speciality of the restaurant, because lasagna is one of my favourite meals I had to try this one; it was good but not anything to write home about. Other than Italian dishes they also have an extra hamburger menu, it exists out beef, chicken and fish burgers. I tried the chicken "Hamburger Time", a huge burger which was quite hard to eat because it was so full, the sauce was delicious (a kind of chipotle sauce) together with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese and bacon. It was simply delicious!! The hamburger was served with French fries. All of the portions are huge so if you are with children think about ordering between you. An extra point of interest, you get a stamp per person who eats in the restaurant, when you collect 10 stamps you get 50 pesos off your next visit. Some extra info on this restaurant: a Canadian man came over to our table to ask if everything was O.K., he that he had set up this business, together with a few others, via his own initiative to help local teenagers to learn and have a goal in life. Because of his religious background he started to teach teenagers different aspects to run small businesses, when the teenagers had enough knowledge he let them run the businesses and all the aspects themselves. All of the staff are shareholders of their own business. I really liked this idea and you really noticed this because in this way the people are more motivated and always willing to improve their own business. Because of the religious background they do not serve alcohol but you can buy some in the Corona store next to the restaurant and drink it with your meal without a problem.

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.

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.
