Almoraduz

A surf town like Puerto Escondido doesn't usually invite serious kitchen ambition, but Almoraduz has been making Oaxacan cooking its whole project for years. The restaurant runs a la carte or a full tasting menu, with a kitchen that leans into local ingredients and technique without turning precious about either. Handsome wood tables, real greenery, and servers who actually know the menu round out a room that punches well above its beach-town surroundings.
