El Munchies Food Truck — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Adorable funky food truck with dancing lights playing over the tables and chairs, on a quiet corner a couple blocks in from the beach. Lovely freshly made aguas frescas (cucumber lime, refreshing!) and truly the best fish tacos in town at a fraction of the price they charge in town. Sweet, talented foodies in charge of this delightful find, well worth the trip. So delicious! So fresh! So generous! So inexpensive! Go enjoy, you will leave full and happy.

2024 Update: visited last evening (April 6), had another most excellent fish taco and a couple of aguas frescas, took one to the beach to watch the sunset. When I returned, the music had shifted to an interesting layered dj flow that complemented the vibe in this uniquely welcoming space.

NEWS: El Munchies now has a second location, in Espacio Cometa, just a few blocks away; after the current space closes in about a month, the beloved Munchies truck will continue to make guest appearances at local events...

Chose to write a gushing review because, despite all the five stars, we were shocked that it wasn’t busier when we visited. (Give El Munchies your business - you won’t...

This place is magical! But first things first. The food is banging. No matter what you gonna order, you will love it. I've probably had the best tacos I ever had there. And also: I really don't like fish, but I loved their cevicha. Not kidding! Besides the food, the service is something special. Nacho, the waiter, does not only take good care of your orders, but he will also make you feel very welcome, and he also puts on some good music as well. You really can feel their family vibes there, and if you're lucky, they will make you part of this little family for a little while. Whenever you are in Puerto Escondido you have to go there and enjoy this place. Lots of...
