Good Friends is one of those spots in El Tunco that you naturally end up at without really planning to. It’s super close to the beach and always buzzing, especially in the evenings. The vibe is fun, social, and a little chaotic in the best way, with travellers, surfers, and locals all hanging out together.

The food is exactly what you want after a long surf or beach day. Think burgers, tacos, fries, and cold beers, plus cocktails that go down way too easily. As the sun sets, the place really comes alive with music and people sticking around for drinks, so it’s easy to roll straight from dinner into a night out without going anywhere else.

Prices are pretty fair for a beach town, with meals usually around 6–12 USD and drinks that won’t destroy your budget. If you’re in El Tunco and looking for a lively, social place to eat, drink, and meet people, Good Friends is a classic and definitely worth a stop.
