Puerto Angelito is a little fishing port in Puerto Escondido, AKA, "little Angel" fishing/boat port…read morethat also has a fabulous swimming beach. The Main restaurant "Puerto Angelito" sits at the top of a steep steep cliff, like a YUGE concrete fortress with steps going down the front, right to the edge of the water, on the beach. It's quite magnificent actually. Wild, natural, not a commercialized place, no AC, outdoor toilets etc., One day I was here, I literally walked down the steps & jumped into the water with my snorkeling gear on & right there under the sea water, in reaching distance, giant sea turtles were swimming about! Scared the jaheebazees out of me. Anyhoo, it's a fantastic place. A wild, natural, gorgeous beach & a equally fabulous restaurant. There are other smaller restaurants there but this is the main one on the cliff. The best one. If you walk down from town, it's quite a hike. And quite dangerous, as it's on a cliff overlooking the ocean. There are no guard rails or safety steps on the way, your on your on so be careful getting here on foot or just take a taxi. There is a long long long concrete stairway down the cliff, but it is very straight down stairs. You can also follow the road down if the stairs are too scary for you. An "Open Air" restaurant, come as you are. In your bikini no problemo. I spent the best thanksgiving I ever had in my life here in my bikini. They served us the freshest fish! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my gosh. BEST THANKSGIVING DINNER EVER. We had a table right at the edge of the ocean. We swam, snorkeled, drank, ate & swam & drank & ate some more, all day long, wet, in our swimsuits. THE. BEST. DAY. EVER. The local fisherman drag their boats up on the beach after a morning of fishing every day. They bring the days fresh catch straight up to the restaurant. (See pics) You can get just about any kind of seafood here, the fresh fish & the octopus are my favorite as well as the shrimp quesadilla's with the local Oaxaca cheese. They also make a fabulous hot sauce with fresh habanero that I love. They also serve beer & wine & mezcal. The owners family make their own mezcal & it's very good. We drank tons of it. Haha. Good times. I spent just about every day here at the beach for 8 months straight & I never had one bad meal. My absolutely favorite dish is their octopus Tostadas. I ate them all over Puerto Escondido also, but they make the best octopus tostadas I have ever had. Puerto Angelito's octopus tostadas are to.die.4! Big chunky Tender octopus with just the right marinade! YUM! Can't wait to get back to have a plate full of them or two, in my bikini of course hahah. FYI: There is a little oyster farm a few miles down the coast, on Fridays, the fishing boats bring fresh oysters from there, here, to Puerto Angelito & shuck them fresh for you. You can get a couple doz for about $12 USD. Very good oysters. There are no "reservations" for tables & umbrellas on the beach. If you want a good table next to the ocean for the day, get there early. It's always nice to get there early & watch the place open, the place comes alive. It fills up quickly with locals & tourist alike, children running around having a blast. Photo ops everywhere. There are also little shops full of beachy stuff to purchase if you forgot your towel, swimsuit, toys etc., Two days are never the same here but it's always epic in every way. One of my favorite places on earth, my final destination. See you soon.

Absolutely incredible- the vibe, service and food are all exceptional. We dined here two nights out…read moreof three on our stay here. Definitely recommend.

The restaurant has a roof but no walls so feels very open, the shade plus multiple fans kept it nice and cool. They have an english menu for my fellow American tourists. We ordered the tuna tostadas which were fresh and a huge amount of raw tuna. I got the grilled octopus which was delicious and my boyfriend got the grilled picanha. Both came with mashed potatoes and salad. Highly recommend both dishes. Our cocktails were tasty as well--will definitely be back here soon!

After landing, we were ready to eat and found this place near where we were staying. Our taxi…read moredriver also recommended this place, so I was excited to try it, especially since it's located right along the beach. We were celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary on this trip, so we went all out. We ordered aguachile negro, tuna carpaccio, pulpo, vuelve a la vida, suerito, huachinango, and a few cocktails. Salad, potato wedges, and tortillas also came with our meal. Everything was nicely presented and tasted great! All of the dishes were so flavorful. We ended up ordering more of our favorites for our first dinner stop. There was also a young lady playing some tunes, so it made the ambience a little more romantic. She doesn't work for the restaurant, so we just gave her a tip before she left. The only complaint I have is that mosquitos and flies were buzzing around once the sun was starting to set. Other than that, I had a wonderful time here.

Best restaurant in this part of town!! The food, the ambiance, the service and drinks all amazing!…read more Ambiance/service: the place is super trendy and cool. They have some awesome art inside along with their van out front. The area next to the ocean has bean bags that you can sit on and relax. The service staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and quick to help. Food/drinks: the food was delicious! I absolutely love Oaxaca!... we ordered the shrimp which was out of this world good and the red snapper plate which was also absolutely delicious. The drinks were also great along with their wine I would definitely recommend this place if you are in this area, want a wonderful place to eat and be right next to the ocean.

This review is for my recent trip taken In November of 2018…read more I am avid traveler and been to just about every place in Mexico. I had always heard about Puerto Escondido (my parents visited in 1995) and so I was intrigued. I decided to rent a villa with an ocean view for my parents and I for a period of a week.. This place and its access to the somewhat 'private beach' was incredibly nice. Our experience and time here was above and beyond our expectations. The on site-maintenance staff and daily housekeeping did an excellent job; and the front desk, working as Concierge, came through, as I treated my mom to a massage. Maria arrived as scheduled and made my mom's time extra special! The on site restaurant, Espadin, give this place an extra touch. Incredible views with delicious food! Looking forward to coming here again, as Puerto Escondido has become my favorite destination in Mexico.

I had a really nice michelada with my lunch. They brought out complimentary chips and salsa. The habanero salsa was to die for. I also liked the carrots. 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!

There is a lovely outdoor terra cotta patio you can sit on that has a lovely view of the ocean. I love that. They also make fantastic drinks. The coffee is very good here too. Now on to the best part the food! This place has the best Oaxacan cheese queso with mushroom I have found in Port. And they have the best two hot salsas! YUM! I mean they are HOT! Woohoo! Love that! The seafood dishes are super fresh & simple but cooked to perfection. If you want a small steak for lunch they serve a fabulous Arrachera with vegetables that is to die for. I love the portion size, it's just perfect for a light lunch. What I love most about this place is that they do the vegetables perfectly. Every single thing Hubby & I have ordered the vegetables on the side are always cooked perfectly. Crunchy & never over cooked. Who ever is the chef at this place knows what's he's doing, & is very passionate about the food bc it always comes out perfectly. I love to eat vegetables but most places overcook them. This places does them right every time. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner, however, what I don't like about this place is it's located on the Andador. During the day it's great. After dark the area gets so packed with tourist that it doesn't make for a very good dinner place. Too many people, too loud & too crazy being right on the Andador for a "dinner out" kind of evening. Recommend for breakfast, brunch & lunch only.

Please don't come for me if this is not an accurate comparison, but to me this place felt like IHOP…read more(& I love IHOP!). Always busy, extensive menu with something for everyone, casual, and reasonably priced. There is usually a crowd waiting to eat here but don't just get in line--make sure you check in and put your name on the waitlist first. They will call your name when a table is ready for you. Although it's bustling, service is prompt & food comes out quickly. Everything we got was solid breakfast. Not pictured but we also ordered takeout from here when I was having stomach problems, and the chicken soup + chocolate cake really hit the spot. I don't think you need to go out of your way to try it but worth eating at if the wait isn't too long and you're in the area!

This place gets BUSY; it gets busy early and it seems to stay busy throughout the day…read more The food itself is nicely done. My husband and I split the cinnamon roll (I wish there had been more filling and more icing), and it was dense yet still moist. We both had French toast which was some of the most innovative and flavorful French toast I've ever had. The service was fast and friendly. I'm giving it 3 stars because I wanted to donate to the bread/coffee drive they have going, and despite my speaking Spanish, neither our server nor the cashier knew what I was asking to do. Even my husband, who is a fluent Spanish speaker, explained and they looked at us like we were speaking Greek. But, it's got good food, and a nice atmosphere, so give it a try!!
