Restaurante Don Ramon by my Alfred — Restaurant in Oaxaca

The prices are extremely high. We booked a private boat ride across the bays. The captain told us we were going to eat in the Maguey bay. As soon as we got there, the life guard and waiter helped us get off the boat, and even brought down the heavy cooler. We didn’t get to choose which restaurant to go to, and we didn’t want to argue.

Of course the tour guides and taxi drivers take tips from certain restaurants, they do that where you're all from too, referrals are part of any business model, especially in emerging economies where people are struggling to get ahead. You're on...
