About This Place

Nestled in the vibrant Zona Hotelera Tangolunda of Bahías de Huatulco, Don Porfirio Lobster & Steak House is a culinary gem that flawlessly marries the best of Mexican flavors with exquisite seafood and premium steaks. Situated conveniently on Blvd. Benito Juárez, this acclaimed restaurant boasts a menu that’s a celebration of textures and tastes, perfect for those craving both land and sea delights.

Step into a welcoming atmosphere where relaxed, friendly service sets the tone for a truly memorable dining experience. Whether you choose a cozy table inside or opt for the charming sidewalk seating that so many patrons recommend, the ambiance encourages leisurely meals and delightful conversations.

The culinary offerings at Don Porfirio are nothing short of spectacular. Their guacamole, freshly prepared with just the right balance of creamy avocado and zesty lime, tantalizes the palate even before the main course arrives. Seafood lovers will be enchanted by the succulent grilled lobster, expertly bathed in garlic butter and served piping hot, while the gigantic shrimp and garlic butter prawns provide an intoxicating blend of smoky, buttery goodness with every bite. The Pulpo A la Naranja, tender octopus cooked to perfection and infused with vibrant citrus notes, is an unforgettable dish that repeatedly earns rave reviews.

Steak enthusiasts are equally spoiled here, with prime cuts such as Rib Eye Angus, Rib Eye Steak, and Sirloin Steak all grilled to juicy perfection, showcasing a rich char that locks in flavor. The Arrachera presents a tender, marinated beef experience that pairs beautifully with house-made totopos and salsas, delivering a true taste of Mexican tradition. For pasta lovers, the Espagueti A la Boloñesa is a comforting, savory choice, and the Veg Pizza option caters wonderfully to those seeking a lighter, veggie-forward dish.

To complete your dining adventure, Don Porfirio offers a tempting selection of beverages and desserts. The Strawberry Margarita bursts with fresh, tangy brightness — ideal for pairing with the smoky flavors of grilled seafood and beef. Don’t miss the Café Flameado, a dramatic, flame-lit coffee dessert, or the luscious Tres Leches Cake, which provides a sweet, creamy finish that perfectly balances the savory richness of the meal.

Visitors consistently praise the attentive, accommodating staff who make each visit smooth and personalized. From mike jameson's praise of accommodating special orders and the option to take food to go, to Charlene T’s delight in watching dishes expertly prepared on the street grill, every detail adds to a sense of authenticity and genuine hospitality. Whether you’re seated inside or soaking in the lively street-side vibe, this is a place where the joy of good food is palpable.

For travelers and locals alike, Don Porfirio Lobster & Steak House offers a compelling reason to venture out from your hotel. The quality here is undeniable, and as Raymond assures, you’ll find yourself coming back and bringing friends along for the experience. Every plate is a beautifully crafted invitation to savor the rich culinary heritage of Oaxaca, infused with ocean-fresh brilliance and expert grilling mastery. If you fancy a feast that delights the senses and nourishes the soul, Don Porfirio stands ready to welcome you with open arms and a table full of unforgettable flavors.

    Absolutely delicious!! I always special order everything and they had no problem accommodating my requests. Food was made to order and was perfect. I wanted it "to go" and they did that for me as well. Prices are good for the quality and service. I will be going back my next trip to Huatulco. Definitely make the trip over for some high quality seafood, friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere.

    Located across the street from Dreams and the Barcelo for when your tourist butt wants to leave the all reclusive. Food and service was excellent. Steak and seafood with reasonable prices (I’m Canadian so…) I had the Tlayuda which was delicious and New York Strip for the Husband. Our servers were humoured with our kindergarten Spanish and assisted our attempts so break out that google translate it was appreciated. Check it out.

    Very nice diner experience. Try to get a table on the sidewalk. Friendly staff, good food, good tequila. We went on a Tuesday, when it wasn't that busy. We did make a reservation, but it wasn't needed. If you want some beef, it's worth going.
