METXCALLI - 71983 Puerto Escondido

Not what I would call a nice dining experience. I think they are trying to adhere to some kind of concept, but have failed. The kitchen is slow, granted it was a busy evening. I love fresh octopus : I’m in the seafood business; I’ve ordered octopus on 5 continents. On this night, my son and I returned both of our octopus mains because neither of us could digest this delicacy. Far too much high heat went into its preparation, and I could have bounced the 'pulpo' off the floor. Our waiter returned to our table after presenting our serving to the chef and stated that the preparation was within its 'normal' guidelines! At a well-respected establishment I would have expected, at the least, a visit from the sous-chef! Skip this spot.

Restaurant was very good food and service. They took steps to go above and beyond. I ordered the agua chile as a main and was pleased with the chefs unique take on it. Well done, gracias

Some of the best vegan food I’ve had anywhere, ever. Unbelievable! We had an amazing waiter named Javi, but everyone we interacted with was wonderful. We cant wait to come back

We were wonderfully surprised. They make their own original and excellent cocktails. Their food is yummy and does a good job at fusing western and Mexican cuisine. They are also located in the trendy area of Puerto Escondido and just opposite the best beach in town. On a more personal note, there is a lot of attention to details and service. It feels more personal and only has about a dozen tables max so you don’t feel lost in a crowd. They could add a little ambient music however music is so personal that it would be difficult to please everyone. Last but not least there is a gallery on the ground floor and a spa like facility too. So my suggestion is to go for it and leave your phone off…

This place was awesome! From the friendly service to the super delicious healthy fare. I also loved the salsas, which were not overly spicy and full of flavor. I’d go back!! Some good vegan options as well. I got the setan tacos.

Incredible. Magnificent. I was so shocked by the beautiful and sophisticated dining experience here. They brought us many complimentary appetizers and courses but ultimately The food was incredible and I did not expect it coming. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone

This place is a hidden treasure! Everything we ordered was presented in a Michelin fashion and the taste was superb. Yesterday we went to a very pretentious, reservations only restaurant down the street which claimed Michelin level… not close at three times the cost.

I give only 5 stars just because I cannot give more!!! These guys are amazing! The restaurant is a beautiful spot in puerto Escondido, this is a luxury restaurant in all aspects (food ingredients, recipes, presentation of dishes, waiters/waitresses delicates and complete attentions to clients, elegance of the location, small details, the atmosphere, cocktails ? WOW! Etc etc) Here really everything is just WOW! But….prices are super cheap! Maybe too cheap!!! If you don’t come here to eat, at least come here to drink their unbelievable cocktails with local fruits and flavors! We spent in Puerto Escondido only 4 nights. And we came here 3 evenings out of 4 dinners!! The 4th time that we did not come, we did extremely regret it…we would have come here 4/4 evenings, if we could go back in time! Guys believe me this place is a paradise for all your 5 senses ❤️ can’t wait to be back ❤️ ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES EVER
