This is a lovely town to visit when in the Huatulco area. This restaurant was amazing. The seafood was incredible and the service was great. We went with a group of 12 and really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and staff. I will definitely go back again

What is there not to like??? Only drawback NO CHOP STICKS

Its the only place with vegetarian options in santa maria, so thats a plus. The service wasnt good- slow, and they forgot two of the things we ordered. The foid itself was nice but not to die for

This place is very beautiful, food and service are excellent! In the heart of Huatulco!

Great place and service, beer could be a bit colder

Good service, nice food and prices

Locked up tight!

Lovely beach with beautiful calm water. Better down the far right side near la Hama as. Water is cleaner and better for swimming

Once you arrive, you will be approached immediately by restaurant staff trying to convince you to go into their restaurants. Facing the beach, walk to the right look for the bathrooms & showers & take the public path to the beach. The water was calm, lovely & incredibly clear. Be aware that in the afternoon numerous boat tours show up quickly and their customers are herded into the restaurants to be fleeced. I simply walked to a quiet area of the beach & set up my space and had an enjoyable time.

Very beautiful beach. We went on a boat tour in the afternoon and it wasn’t too crowded, but the several restaurants will send aggressive staff to invite you to sit in the shade. Even our boat tour guide said we had to sit at a certain restaurant. To one side of the beach there are showers and restrooms. If you use the restaurant restrooms you have to pay for the privilege. We sat at one restaurant and ordered guacamole for $150 pesos which is about $8.00 US. It’s a very large bowl and very tasty guacamole. No shade unless you dine or bring your own.

Tons of beach side restaurants of which the staff will accost you as soon as you get out of a taxi, trying to get you to come to their place. At the far left end of the beach, there's a small public swimming area where we were able to snorkel from and see a wide variety of small fish. The waves and current there were fine for swimming and our kids being in the water. Beautiful turquoise, warm water.

Beautiful❤️🫶🏽only thing this beach goes in deep very soon. Also be aware of the restaurants on the beach they tend to add extras to your tab.

Our favorite beach in Huatulco! The water is clear and refreshing and the sand is so soft! You can snorkel around the rocks when the water is calm or play in the rolling waves. There are a ton of restaurants/beach bars to choose from with parking at each. There is also a taxi stand at the top of the hill. It's only about a 10min drive from Centro and a very cheap taxi ride. Also! We have been allowed to bring our dog to the beach bars and tie her up to our table while we swim.

Fabulous Little Beach with protected snorkeling. Great local restaurants with food and music. Well worth the trip and time spent there. May 4, 2024

Amazing experience. It's a little far and costs 100 pesos per person but it is such a huge cascada and dogs are welcome. We spent the whole day there.

This place is absolutely stunning! Incredible pure water, so powerful and peaceful. The only thing about it which is not great it’s a road from Oaxaca and people who are working there don’t speak English at all, sobe really for the tricky parts.

Great place for a short walk along the river with many small waterfalls and places to swim. The water is refreshing and crystal clear. The road is mostly fine with some dirt sections. It's possible to drive any normal car there, if you are fine with dirtroads.

Paradise on earth. Have a local guide take you there and enjoy swimming in all the pools. The water is clean and has the right temperature. It's a bit of a drive getting there, but certainly worth it. Take at least half a day and visit early (or late) to avoid the crowds. There's a restaurant on site.

Definitely magical place and we had such a great time. Felt like a little waterpark for us. Spectacular setting and great photos to Greenberger this place. So glad we came early before the crowds be we had the place to ourselves for 30 minutes before ppl started arriving! I would definitely combine it with Cascada Las Brisas!

Place is Magical like the name says. Crystal clear water with gorgeous jungle views. from the parking lot there are several waterfalls getting bigger the higher you go. Pictures don’t do justice. Once at the top you can purchase refreshments and snacks- if you love waterfalls you cant miss this one. The way there is kind of hidden about an hour into the jungle from the coastal highway. There are a lot of motorcycles that are willing to take you there for a fee. Entrance fee is $100 pesos per person. Definitely coming back.

What a beautiful place, clean, fun and adventures well worth the ride. We had rented scooters and was able to ride up. The road is paved 95% of the way and full of little settlements, restaurants and farms as you go. The last 15 minutes or so was bumpy and rough with holes and rocks, I recommend riders with some off road experience.

A pretty little town at the top of the mountains. Great views in the center of the Oxahacan coffee region. This is where it all happens, great little coffee places and cute church, a must see if coffee is your passion.

WOW! Very impressive.

A very enjoyable place to be

(Translated by Google) Excellent reserve, it has paradisiacal fruits such as mangosteen, rambutan, noni, cocoa, star fruit, among others. You can try them if you buy the breakfast package which is highly recommended. Inside you will find many flowers and fruits, there is a waterfall but the time to swim is not very long, it is better to dip your feet and take photos. I would visit it again on my next trip to Huatulco. (Original) Excelente reserva, tiene frutas paradisíacas como mangostán, rambután, noni, cacao, carambola, entre otras. Puedes probarlas si compras el paquete de desayuno lo cual es súper recomendado. Dentro encontrarás muchas flores y frutas, hay una cascada pero el tiempo para nadar no es muy grande, conviene más para sumergir los pies y sacar fotos. Volvería a visitarlo en mi próximo viaje a Huatulco.

We have just arrived here in Huatulco, this was our first breakfast out. This place did not disappoint us, the service was excellent and the food was delicious. 🤤😋💞 Very reasonably priced. 👍 Highly recommend going early if you are going for breakfast as it gets busy. Follow us on YouTube, gracias 🙏❤️ 2 Gringos On The Gulf

Excellent experience, we had 5 people and all our meals were great. The drinks were very good as well. Definitely recommend a nice dinner out here

The plates we chose were all excellent and the service fast and friendly. Special mention to the 🥥 crusted 🐟 with spicy mango sauce was delish, My friends gave 👍🏼 to the 🍤 in tamarind sauce, and the seafood pasta. The only disappointment was the wine, but hey ho, it was my fault for choosing it.

My favourite restaurant in all of Huatulco, service is excellent. It gets busy so you might be waiting for a table. French toast is delicious, my favourite is the coconut, but the orange flavour is very good too. Banana cree was also very good. Coffee is also excellent. We tried many dishes from the menu as we kept coming back, some are better than others. I will definitely be back for more food.

We went for Breakfast at Terra Cotta. What a great experience. The menu has English for those of us who are not good at spanish comprehension. The servers were very friendly. The food was made quickly and our meals arrived at our table together. The presentation of our food was beautiful. The taste was excellent and fresh. The prices were very good for the quality of food served. The serving sizes were very good portions. I recommend this restaurant for foodies.

One of the few places with air conditioning, white tablecloths and napkins, this feels like a more upscale restaurant in town and it is lovely. Unfortunately, we did not have the best experience the last two times we were there on this recent trip. Our meals seem to have been forgotten and we were waiting a long time after people came and went with theirs. No apology or reason. We barely got any service at all and would have had more to drink had we had a server come over and ask us. The service wasn't very friendly either and we were starting to wonder what was going on, as the Mexicans around us were being waited on, hand and foot. We came back the next day to try again, and had another disappointing experience, my food was cold, the garlic bread was inedible like it was left on a counter for days. I tried to explain to the server who simply took it away and didn't replace it with a new one or offer any kind of assistance I had to ask for some bread after my meal was almost completely gone and they brought out a couple of thin slices after I had already finished eating. It was very disappointing, especially as we had liked it very much there previously and recommended it to people

The hype is real the pan-Frances is so good as are the omlettes and traditional dishes 30 minute wait is normal plan for a wait and get a coffee near by or hang in the shade before entering the air-conditioned restaurant. Great service. Highly recommend

Great chill vibes. Staffs AMAZING and friendly with great music taste! Yummy cocktails and food. We ordered a pizza but totally forgot the name. I do remember it was recommended and it has this white crema on it. Still salivating as I think about it. If you want a little bit of heat, ask for some habanero 🤤.

We have been coming here for 15 years every time we are at Huatulco, it never fails. The Crema Especial pizza is great! Cocktails are awesome... Even the simple nachos are good.

Absolutely delicious pizza here. So good we came back twice. The best pizza I’ve had in a long time! Highly recommend!

Food and drink were good. Place opened at 5, not 4 as Google suggested. Band started at 5:15, not 9 as the sign out front suggested. Most of the folks lined up to get in upon opening were young families with real young kids. I don't think they had planned on torturing their kids ears like they ended up doing. A fresh light bulb in the men's room would be a worthwhile idea...

Action, fun Lights, live music, great cocktails. For the fun crowd who like hard Rock or just about any live music.

Funkadelic, witchy, hippy. Loved the vibe there. The staff was great. Now, let's talk about the pizza! Perfect dough and toppings. The best marks and the mezcal is delish.

We haven’t been to the Huatulco area in ten years, when there were only a handful of restaurants and la Crema was located on the square. Back then there were lineups to get in. It is still awesome food, the pizza delicious. It’s a trip down memory lane for those of us who grew up in the 60’s and 70’s with the music and nostalgia. A bit loud for some maybe.

We visited this restaurant based on its glowing reviews, but unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst dinner experience we had during our four-week stay in Mexico. Service and Atmosphere • Staff: Although the staff was friendly, they appeared poorly trained. For example, they had little knowledge about the wine selection, simply relaying the chef’s negative opinion about the orange wine rather than offering informed recommendations. • Ambiance: We were the only persons in the restaurant during our visit, which did little to enhance the experience. Unbeknownst to us, the restaurant closes at 22:00, adding to the overall confusion and disappointment. Food and Beverage • Wine: We requested a bottle of dry white wine due to the unavailability of most wines on the menu. However, we were served a very sweet white wine priced at €60. When we expressed our dissatisfaction, the staff refused to exchange it, leaving us with an expensive wine that did not meet our expectations. • Mussels: Based on staff recommendations, we ordered the mussels. Regrettably, they were not fresh—possibly even canned—and we ended up not eating them. • Gem Salad: This dish was decent but unremarkable, offering little in terms of flavor or creativity. • Seared Tuna Steak: The highlight of our meal, the tuna steak, was well prepared and remarkably fresh. • Espresso Martini: Another redeeming aspect was the espresso martini, which was very well made. Billing Experience The situation worsened when it came time to settle the bill. We were informed that we had to pay for every item on the menu. When we suggested a gesture of goodwill—such as an espresso martini on the house—to offset the poor experience, the response was extreme: the staff called security, insisted that we pay, and ultimately escorted us out. This reaction was both unprofessional and unnecessary. Despite a few well-prepared dishes, the overall experience was marred by poor service, questionable food quality, and an inflexible billing policy. We left feeling disappointed and disrespected. This restaurant did not live up to the high expectations set by its reviews. If you are looking for good food and service, go to Ve El Mar, they have a good grill and stone oven. Very good meat and fresh fish.

Great place. Everyone was happy with their meals. Jonathan was very personable and ensured we had what we needed. One small critique, as we were trying to enjoy the ambiance of our setting, our a focus was rerouted to the blaring ACDC and other classic rock bangers from the adjacent establishment.

We celebrated our last night in Huatulco dining at Terraza del Mar restaurant. The view and ambiance was lovely, the food very good and the service top notch with both Jonathon and Kevin. Highly recommend you try this place out!

We were so excited to spend the last night of our wonderful Huatulco vacation at a fancy place. However, we couldn’t have been more disappointed. Due to awful service, we left after our appetizers and walked to the al pastor taco stand past the supermarket. The time it took us to walk there and get our food and drinks was about the same as it took Terraza del Mar to even acknowledge us and take our drink orders. The best service we had was leaving and being chased down for the money (which, if they would’ve actually visited that table, they would’ve found). Worst service we’ve had in years. And by the way, they had 3 servers and 4-5 active tables! But thank goodness for that taco stand. Go there instead!! Or if you’re looking for fancier, go to Terra Cotta in the main square.

WOW! The spot is amazing, the food was unreal and the boys who took care of us were unbelievably professional and fun. Don't miss out on this one!!!

Absolutely Amazing!!! Infusion of tastes and beautiful presentation. Loved the 3 Chef's surprise courses along with our choosen courses. Such a delightful ambience and wonderful service. The Chef has a passion for food. One of the top restaurants in Huatulco. The price of the 6 course meal is reasonable and so worth it, the wine prices are exspensive. A must experience if you are not a fussy eater and appreciate something very unique in food. Highly recommend.

Excellent food can't beat the view and the staff are amazing.

I honestly don’t underhand the popularly of this place. I ordered one of their specialties which was the octopus in its tint and I honestly have had it much more tastier and better served in cities where there’s not even sea around. I was hoping to be impressed by the taste and the style of a seas side city but this was a total disappointment. The octopus was chewy and the tint taste was not strong enough. The rice they put on the side, doesn’t mingle well with the octopus at all. I wouldn’t recommend this dish to anyone. The staff at the restaurant was not friendly at all and they seemed quite indifferent to their customers, as if they didn’t need the traffic. Out waiter also seemed tired so I’m not sure if that’s why we didn’t perceive the service as good. The price was high compared to other establishments nearby and the value for the food compared to what we paid was in my opinion not matched. In general I would say the restaurant is not worth visiting.

A local guide said this was THE best place for fish. Whew, was he right! I ordered the butter and garlic, the fish of the day was mahi mahi and it was an enormous filet! I couldn’t eat it all, even if I wanted to. This is likely the best fish I’ve ever had. Go! You won’t regret it.

Wife and I wanted Octopus and they did not disappoint. Just delicious. I had with Garlic and Butter and she with a Mexican style. Shared each other's dishes and it was delicious. Paired with Modelo especial mmmmmmm. Recommend for sure.

Great seafood! I had a Sopa de Mariscos and the flavor and taste was awesome! Fresh fish, octopus and shrimp in a flavorful caldo to please any seafood lover. Nice atmosphere and great location make this place an obligated stop. Don’t miss it while in Huatulco!

Reservations advised. The shrimp with butter and garlic was lovely, the shrimp marinero not so much (huge portion, but rubbery) Next time, I’ll make sure to order the fresh stuff.

The best seafood food in Huatulco, love the place, been eating here for years and still love it!

We liked our experience. Food was simplistic in presentation but very delicious for us. I found it hilarious that no cocktails or wine available. Soda or beer. Yet we enjoyed it all. Octopus in ink, garlic butter mix. Beer and lemonade. Total 430$. Worth every penny and beyond. Tnx to all hands who prepared it.

All I can say is… WOW. This place deserves to be on Chef’s Table. Every dish was uniquely prepared, made with high quality local ingredients, creative, DELICIOUS, and presented beautifully. This chef is an absolute creative artist. I will be recommending this place to all my family that frequently vacations in Mexico. I came here for 3 separate meals because it was so good. I wish I could have tried every item on the menu. This is a 10 star rating!!!! I am sad I don’t live here solely for the reason that I can’t come back here on the regular. I am now a big fan of the chef!

Fantastic menu, always able to find something for my wife's gluten-free and dairy free meals. Tasty, served hot and as ordered. Reasonably priced and they take credit cards.

It’s ok, the service is good. The escargot was served a bit cold. The Mahi Mahi was tasty, the chicken was mediocre. You can do better for dinner elsewhere in Huatulco imo, especially for the price. Most of the good reviews are many years old so maybe they have new owners or chefs.

Absolutely delicious French food in Huatulco! Escargots are BIG and yummy. Shrimp with spaghetti in saffron sauce is sinfully delicious! Grouper fillet in leek sauce is very tasty. Service is splendid. Highly recommended.

Best restaurant in the whole Oaxaca state. The food is amazing and they have the best most polite service. If your looking for French food, this is the spot and if you are looking for gourmet food this is definitely the spot.

Excellent starters...creative, unique and delicious. All our entree choices were equally appreciated. Cocktails were also amazing! This place should be on your radar when you are in Huatulco!
