Puerto Escondido

Eating

Where the food is

We point you at neighborhoods rather than specific restaurants, on purpose: places on this coast open and close faster than a guide can be updated, and we would rather not send you to a door that is shut.
  • La Punta and Zicatela — the surf end of town, and the most international cooking: Italian, Thai, seafood, small kitchens with a short menu.
  • El Adoquín — classic seafood and the evening crowd.
  • Rinconada — quieter, more residential, a good spread of places.
  • Mercado Benito Juárez — where you eat local and cheap, in the morning.
Ask us for a current recommendation when you arrive — we know what is good this month.

Mercado Benito Juárez

The traditional market: fruit, seafood and Oaxacan food. It is a morning thing — go early.
