El Camarón Gigante — Restaurant in Oaxaca

SCAM ALERT: Check your bill and food poisoning caution! Our bill was inflated from 6 drinks that we had for 3 people to 10 (we had 3 beers but were charged for 7 adding $360 pesos to the total).

The biggest insult, however, was the 10% charge for the “government “ when we had to walk away from our table to pay with a credit card. Should have found a different restaurant...

Great place to come be at the beach, the restaurant has tables and chairs with shade that make a beach day stay more confortable. You can come and stay as long as you want as long as you buy anything, it can be some food a drink whatever you want, and there's no minimum to spend.

They also have Internet that they can share and you can bring your own cooler with your own drinks, again as long as you buy something at the restaurant you're set.
