Both were incredible. They had pickled vegetables in them and a nice crunch from the coconut. Some tips: - Give yourself 2 hours here. Pepe really takes his time and likes to get to know his clients. - Don't stay here after the sunset. It's not close to a major road so we had to walk in the dark for 30 minutes back to the main road near Zicatela. - Bring bug spray. I didn't get a single mosquito bite once in Puerto Escondido, but I got a million here. This place isn't for the faint-hearted but the tacos really were that incredible. Edit: I think this is at a new location now? When I went in Oct. 2019, it was across from One Love Hostel on Zicatela.

HUGE and beautiful dressed up seafood tacos, but man this place is touristy as heck!…read more Literally everybody eating here was like some European person. No locals at all when our group dined for dinner. It's casual, and honestly service is a bit lacking. The people are so kind, but the guy taking the orders also does the drinks and the inefficiency is very telling. Regardless, the shining star of this place is Pepe's tacos. I'm talking about coconut-crushed shrimp and coconut-crusted fish. HUGE tacos, so come hungry. They also had the maracuya mezcalita on the drink menu, along with some beers. So I had to go with the mezcalita, oviamente! Flavorful and not too sweet. The aesthetic is giving outdoors glamping without the glam. Tons of seating in like semi-shabby picnic table and campfire-esque chairs. Pricing is more on the expensive side, which is no wonder why all the tourists come. Worth a taste, but a one and done for me.

If you are looking for the best tacos in Puerto Escondido--and honestly, possibly the world--this…read moreis the place. I've eaten hundreds of tacos at Parrilla Mixteca, and every single time I visit Puerto, it's the very first stop I make. I've tried Al Pastor all over, and nothing else even comes close to theirs! The service is fantastic, and the staff couldn't be friendlier. Watching them work is a total art form, and they're cool enough to let you film videos of them preparing the food. The whole experience is as authentic as it gets--everything comes out insanely fast, and you can just keep adding to your tab as you eat before they tally it up at the end. Every now and then, street musicians will wander in to play a few tunes while you eat. The setup is pretty basic--just wooden tables, plastic chairs, and simple restrooms--but nobody comes here for luxury; you come for the mind-blowing food. Besides, if you've made it to Puerto, you're an adventurous soul anyway! Incredible food, unmatched Al Pastor, awesome staff, and amazing prices. You can't miss it.

We also ordered the French toast to share, it comes with four slices, and the bread is incredible. Definitely not your typical French toast. The juices are all fresh. Definitely try one out.

I didn't try the tacos but my partner, who ordered beef, thought the tacos were good but not nearly as good as the Pozole soup which we both loved ... he shared his soup with me and since he got pork I didn't eat the meat (I would have preferred chicken) but I ate around it and fell in love with the soup - especially the broth - which was amazing with the fresh jalapeno pepper, onion and cilantro flavor being diffused into the super flavorful broth. Love the balance of freshness and meatiness in the corn. Needless to say, this restaurant made me appreciate Pozole on a whole new level. The prices were also extremely good compared to other restaurants in this area

Ha sido uno de mis lugares preferidos en la zona. Sin embargo, hoy tuve una experiencia decepcionante. Me senté en la mesa que normalmente utilizo, y una persona que no reconocí me indicó que no podía sentarme ahí. Me pidió que me moviera a una mesa pequeña al fondo, sin vista y con poca ventilación, ya que la mesa que elegí era para cuatro personas. Lo que hace esta situación aún más frustrante es que el restaurante estaba completamente vacío en ese momento. Entiendo que es Semana Santa y que quizá esperan más clientes más tarde, pero la manera en que se manejó la situación se sintió poco considerada hacia un cliente local, fiel y de largo tiempo. Es desalentador ver que algunos establecimientos en Zicatela parecen priorizar a posibles turistas sobre los residentes que los apoyamos de manera constante durante todo el año, especialmente en temporada baja.

The third was meh, not sure what it was exactly but it seemed more like something I'd want to dip bread into. Tacos were large and came with all the fixings. Avocado was a little underripe. Fish was delicious however. I also appreciated that they had born corn and flour tacos (for no additional charge). Overall I don't think I'd rush back but it was definitely a decent lunch!
