Fodor's Expert Review Estrella Fugaz

It may not have the easiest name to remember, but Estrella Fugaz (which means "shooting star") is one of Mazunte's most popular hangouts. This funky Mexican café-restaurant offers an impressive collection of artisanal mezcal, good Wi-Fi, strong coffee, and a breezy second-floor location with fantastic views of Playa el Rinconcito, Mazunte's most swimmable beach. The menu is packed with choices from Mexican breakfast specialties to seafood to pasta, but if you're undecided, the chiles rellenos stuffed with vegetables (or seafood or cheese) is a whopping portion that will fuel you for the rest of the day. Live jazz and special theme nights keep the action happening until long after dark.
