“ Best food we’ve had so far. Went for breakfast. Chilaquilies and hot cakes were both super flavourful, salsas are tasty, portions are perfect. Service was prompt (although we were the only ones there). There’s a terrace upstairs, not just the few stools on the street. Rustic, but tasty. ”
“ Prawn tacos are the best I have had in mazunte. The service is very good and the staff are all great. Been here 3 days in a row ”
“ Perfectly cooked fresh seafood at fair prices. What more could you ask for? In addition to excellent rendition of classic mexican seafood dishes, it's also low key one of the best places in Mazunte to drink mezcal. ”
“ Absolutely amazing food! The waiters were always attentive. This place is an absolute gem. Super fair prices also. ”
“ Best place in town. I ate there three separate times when I was here, and each time I got something different and just as delicious. The tortas are massive and the breakfast was delicious (I had the hot cakes). One of the few places in town that still has reasonably priced food. Every time I ate I didn’t spend more than 120 pesos. FYI they also take card (with 5% commission). ”
“ The staff and the management are absolutely wonderful. Xavier made us amazing cocktails every night, honestly such attentive service, and we had reliably gorgeous food made from scratch on multiple occasions which kept us coming back again and again. Fun atmosphere perfect for feeling lively without being over the top. Lower seating on the patio for being a part of the street scene and upper seating for having a view and a little more intimate vibe. Came here 5 out of 5 days for our time in Mazunte. Muchas gracias! ”
“ 80 pesos for 3 of the best chorizo tacos I’ve had in Mexico and only 35 pesos a beer! My friend has fish tacos which were a bit more expensive but excellent too ”
“ Lovely tidy bar located halfway between main road and Rinconcito beach. A couple of tables and four places at the bar, friendly place. Offers good beach food, I mean fish or meat tacos, aguachiles, tortas, hamburguers, fishes, and a couple of finger food options. A correct bunch of mezcal options at reasonable price/quality range. Cocktails are correct and you can choose from many 2x1 options. A place to enjoy a couple of drinks when you visit Mazunte ”
