Casamarte La Paz: Oyster Bar & Grill by Chef Héctor Palacios

Written by Rob | Oct 16, 2026, 10:34:47 PM

Casamarte is where the story of "the sea is sown" sits down at the table: an oyster bar and grill in a mansion in downtown La Paz, Baja California Sur, serving oysters from Baja California Sur farms and fish and seafood that arrive daily. It is Chef Héctor Palacios's table, recognized in the Guía México Gastronómico 2026, and one of the places we recommend at La Paz City Map.

What is Casamarte

Casamarte is an oyster bar and grill built on a simple idea: serve the product of the day simply and honestly. The oysters arrive fresh from farms in the waters of Baja California Sur, and the fish and seafood are made for sharing, with nothing that hides where they came from. The menu is rounded out with signature mixology and Mexican wines.

Behind it is Chef Héctor Palacios's philosophy: "eating is eating a story." Here an oyster is never just an oyster: it has a producer's name, a place of origin and a harvest date. For the full story, start with Rancheros del Mar: Where the Sea Is Sown in La Paz.

What to order on your first visit

  • Oysters. Ask what arrived today and which farm it came from; each one has its own character.
  • Fish and seafood of the day. The menu follows what comes in; let the team guide you.
  • Something to toast with. Mixology made with regional ingredients, or a glass of Mexican wine.

How to fit Casamarte into your trip

La Paz works best in two parts: sea by day, table by night. After a day out to Espíritu Santo Island or Balandra, Casamarte is a natural way to close the day. If you are traveling as a couple, family or group and want us to put the whole plan together, tell us about your trip.
