" I visited Puerto Escondido with my family over the weekend. While some dishes were excellent, others missed the mark. The burritos were generous in size and full of ingredients. The service was friendly but a bit slow, which was frustrating at times. Overall, it's a decent spot, and I'd be willing to give it another shot to try different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolute must-visit! I finally found a place that serves authentic Mexican cuisine that rivals anything I've had in Mexico. The ceviches are fresh, and the tacos de carne asada are delectable. We received prompt service and the cocktails were beautifully crafted. I can't wait to go back to Puerto Escondido! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, we headed to Puerto Escondido for dinner and were blown away! The shrimp cocktail was incredible and the atmosphere felt lively. The staff were attentive, and we received complementary chips and salsa right away. My only critique would be that I wish the music volume was a bit lower to enjoy conversations. Definitely coming back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Puerto Escondido is a gem! The fish tacos were the best I've ever had, featuring fresh ingredients and a tangy sauce that complemented perfectly. The environment is casual and inviting — great for families or groups of friends. Despite the busy Saturday night crowd, the service was surprisingly fast. I highly recommend trying their margaritas! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving authentic Mexican food, Puerto Escondido is where you want to be! Their salsa is incredibly flavorful, and the tacos (especially the fish ones) are amazing. The atmosphere is friendly, and the overall dining experience was fantastic. The owners really put their heart into the food; it's evident! " (*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*)
