Chicatana Surf Cafe y Galeria - 71980 Puerto Escondido

Great food and drinks. Fast service. Great wifi. Friendly people.

The best Omelet in Puerto Escondido! Amazing food service and hospitality! Everything fresh, i also love the unique banana pineapple smoothie juice with a little bit of coconut milk! Will come by every day! Thanks Lili for the good food and laughs

Great and amazingly friendly people. Good coffee, snacks and juices. I recommend to stop here if you’re walking by. ?

Lovely staff/owners and excellent coffee. The environment is such a nice place to work at, or have a peaceful meal!

Such a disappoint!! Before I came to Chicatana I have read all the reviews and I was pretty impressed. But the personal is just unfriendly, the cafe is such a bad one and I would never recommend anyone to go there.

Very unfriendly and a rip-off! I don't recommend it! Before I got there, I read the reviews but as aforementioned, it's a very bad service and as soon as the employees realize that you have a different nationality, they charge more and are eager to discuss. Furthermore, the coffee tastes bad - unfortunately very bad!

Went there for breakfast, coffee and to work. the wifi is very slow and the food is overpriced and not good! I also borrowed a surfbord bc the owner made me a ‚good‘ price. Afterwards she charged me 250pesos because of a scratch I didn‘t make! I asked here to prove it to me that the scratch wasn‘t there before with a picture , but she couldn‘t! Afterwards she wanted to lock me in her property and didn‘t wanted to let me go! I was shocked! She refused to give me back my ID or deposit and even made fun of me with her staff! Never been treated so disrespectful! I would really recommend to go to another local and rental shop before having the troubles I had!

After several months of travelling in Mexico, there are things and situations that don't surprise me...if you have a passport from another country, your photo is not that of a person...they see it as money. And this place was no exception. We rented a longboar for 2 days. At the beginning everything was very nice, as it normally happens if you work in customer service...the problem came when we went to return it, they told us that we had broken it and we had to pay 250 pesos. They had no way to prove it, and we made the mistake of not taking pictures...although we had been in Zicatela with little swell and nothing had happened to us! There were 4 of us, 3 of whom do not speak Spanish...this situation was taken advantage of by the owner to lie to the police and neighbours, while I could understand her lies perfectly because my mother tongue is Spanish, but I remained silent listening and watching her actions. She lied that we gave surfing lessons to other people, that we were violent, they even made fun of their neighbours believing that the police would not arrive. As the minutes passed, it was no longer 250 but 400!!! At one point it was 300, and finally we paid 250. Our time and energy was and is more important than a single note of money, the attitude of the owner was only that she wanted our money. We asked for the bill, and it was on a white piece of paper! A joke! We also asked for the contract and conditions, and she excused herself saying that they had to work. By this time we had already paid. Just because you have some money for your holidays, doesn't justify these situations. Zero empathy. They withheld our ID, even though we had arrived on time to return the boards but the lady was out partying. There are better places that treat you like a person, and at the same price. It is worth mentioning the warmth of the dog, it had more empathy than its owners. I would come back to pet him one more time.
