" Puerto Escondido is truly a hidden gem. The flavors in all their dishes are wonderfully rich and authentic. The rajas tacos are my personal favorite! The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for catching up with friends. Service was friendly, although they could possibly use more staff during peak hours to help the flow. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family loved trying Puerto Escondido for the first time last week! The fish tacos melted in your mouth, and each bite was packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly courteous, and the atmosphere had a fun yet relaxing vibe. We couldn't get enough of the homemade guacamole. This will definitely be on our list of must-return places! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went there expecting great things, but it turned out to be average at best. My quesadilla was drippy and soggy, and the taste was bland. At least the service was polite, but that didn’t make up for the food quality. I'd need a better experience to likely return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Puerto Escondido! Every time we visit, we are greeted like family. The consistency of flavor in their dishes is remarkable. From the fresh ceviche to the fantastic tacos de pescado, everything tastes freshly made. The portions are reasonable and leave you feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Perfect for a casual lunch with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Puerto Escondido feels like a slice of Mexico! Their shared plates are divine, with the nachos and guacamole being standout items. The atmosphere is cheerful, filled with laughter and delicious food smells. The service was quick and the prices reasonable. Highly recommend for a fun evening out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Puerto Escondido is a good place for casual dining. I loved the micheladas; they were huge! However, the food quality was slightly disappointing. The shrimp was a bit overcooked, and while the atmosphere was lively, the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed and not very attentive. I would give it another shot, but I hope for better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful restaurant! The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life. I shared multiple dishes with friends, and we found that the seafood was wonderfully fresh. The flavors were so bright! However, I would say the service could have been a bit quicker; we had to wait a little while for some additional drinks. However, we ended up enjoying ourselves immensely and ate until we were fully satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)
