This is amazing wood fire cooked food. Everything is amazingly fresh, cooked to perfection and the staff are amazing. This is a family ran restaurant and the quality shows. This is the best meal in Huatulco. Trust me I’m fat and a foodie.

Had a great lunch at Restaurante la Bocana after a mud bath on the beach! The service (our waiter was Jesús), food, and drinks were all fantastic. Definitely stop by if you are at Playa la Bocana!

The view was spectacular and the girls were very nice and spoke very good English. Our fruit platter came without yogurt and margarita la bocana came without worm-salted rim but we didn't care. Their unsweetened fruit slushy was excellent.

Restaurante la Bocana is our favorite place to eat in Huatulco. Fresh and delicious seafood, amazing views, and great service. Ceviche mixto is perfect, the pulpo al ajillo or diablo and their whole fish are also incredible. Food is fresh from the market every day, grilled and cooked with leña for an authentic taste. Can’t get enough of Restaurante La Bocana!!!
