If you're looking for Happy Hours and live music, be sure to check out my Nightlife in Huatulco post.
Food Tour: Before you dive into individual restaurants, I really recommend taking a walking food tour. It's a fun way to sample local dishes while hearing the stories behind them. Do it early in your trip and you'll score loads of ideas for the rest of your stay.
Don Crudelio: Our pick for the best seafood in Huatulco. It's a little out of the way (Google Map ) but well worth the trip for grilled fish, inventive ceviches, and tempura fish. You'll love the ultra-fresh salads, fun decor and wallet-friendly prices. Closed Tuesdays.
Mercader: This popular restaurant in Santa Cruz (Google Map) has stayed small despite its success. It draws a loyal crowd for an eclectic menu with favourites like Pad Thai and beef tenderloin. Don't miss the chocolate lava cake. Reserve well in advance: +52 958 587 0523.
El Sabor de Oaxaca: You can't visit Huatulco without sampling traditional Oaxacan cuisine such as moles, sopes and tlayudas topped with chapulines (toasted grasshoppers).Dive into a range of tastes with el plato Oaxaqueño, ideal for sharing. (Google Map)
Rocoto Huatulco: Surf and turf, short ribs and salads all expertly prepared at this chef-driven restaurant in La Crucecita. Combined with a backdrop of live music, Rocoto is a must-try in Huatulco. Reserve: 52 958 688 1778. Cash only.
Ve El Mar: Unlike many beach palapas where every menu seems to offer ho-hum grilled fish, this waterfront restaurant in Santa Cruz is a step above. Dine with your toes in the sand while the wood-fired oven works its magic. The coconut shrimp is another wise choice. Ve El Mar is large, so it's a good bet if you haven't booked in advance.
Las Hamacas: Ourgo-to spot for an easy day at Playa Maguey, one of Huatulco's 36 beaches. Loungers come free with food purchase plus there's no boat traffic, the water is calm, and the seafood is fresh. Ask for Ruben and his special "scorpion" mezcal.(Google Map)
Giordana's: Helmed by the ever amiable Giordana, this Italian restaurant (Google Map) has long been a favourite of mine. Her handmade pastas (such as ravioli) are often available to go, so sign up for her WhatsApp menu alerts: +52 958 187 9554. Closed Tuesdays.
La Crema Bar & Grill: This long-standing bar near the zocolo (Google Map) is deservedly famous for its wood-fired pizza, live music (classic rock and reggae), cocktails and quirky decor. It's especially popular in the evenings so makes our list for Nightlife in Huatulco.
Niko's Cafe: This coffee shop in a small plaza in Santa Cruz serves inexpensive breakfasts and some of the best organic coffee around. There aren't many tables, so be prepared to share or grab your coffee to go. (Google Map)
Terra-Cotta: Located near the zócalo in La Crucecita, Terra-Cotta is one of our standbys. You might come for the air-conditioning but stay for the international and Mexican food. Black bean soup, tortilla soup and salads are standouts. Phone: +52 958 587 1135.
Juanita's Café: Craving a fresh salad, baguette sandwich or filet mignon? Head to Juanita's in Tangolunda. Breakfast, brunch and tacos are popular with locals and visitors alike. Closed Mondays.
