Pepe's Tacos

Puerto Escondido


Popular with surfers, this hidden sand-floor shack serves large coconut-encrusted shrimp and battered fish tacos topped with a colorful variety of chopped fruit and veggies. They're mighty tasty, we just wish the gringo-friendly salsas had a bit more heat. There's no sign outside so follow your nose.
