April 9, 2017 Oaxaca toPuerto Escondido Lunch – Restaurant Vista Mar. Dinner – Costenitos

April 9, 2017 Oaxaca toPuerto Escondido Lunch – Restaurant Vista Mar.  Dinner – Costenitos

We ate yogurt and fruit for breakfast ad took a taxi at 7:45 to the airport and waited until 10:00 for the Aero Tucan flight to Puerto Escondido which lasted thirty minutes.  We took ground transportation to our hotel and changed into bathing suits and walked the beach toward town.  When we passed the bid rocks at toe opening to the commercial bay we saw that the bay was filled with mostly Mexican holiday tourists, so we decided to turn back toward the hotel.  I was tired from walking so we sat at the first restaurant we came to called Vista Mar and ordered beers and an octopus Coctel which is chopped octopus, onion, tomatoes, catsup, Cocktail sauce and cilantro.


After lunch and a rest we continued back to the hotel.  I rested and Suzette swam.  It is really hot in the afternoon, so we did not go out until after 6:00 p.m.  We walked south on the beach front street to the end of construction .  We stopped at an Italian restaurant that was making fresh pasta and offered two drinks for 60 pesos.  We took mojitos to go and continued walking.  We stopped at a nice restaurant on the beach and ordered two more mojitos and stretched out on lounge chairs and watched the sun set until 7:30.

We then walked back up the beach to Costenitos and ordered dinner of grilled Grouper.  We were served Red Snapper two times and finally ate the red snapper.  We were also charged for an additional salad and French fries because we ate the first salad and French fries while waiting for the second fish to be prepared.  I thought the 400 pesos for a grilled fresh fish was too much and to be charged for extra fries and salad because of their mistake that they did not correct was insane.    We will not go back.

I guess we are spoiled by Oaxaca where the prices are so low and the quality is so high.

Bon Appetit
