The service set the tone, bright, casual counter spot with fresh seafood and punchy salsas, combine mexican food with seafood, my fav combination. I appreciated how smooth the whole experience felt. Easy recommendation to anyone nearby. Would gladly return, everything we tried tasted thoughtfully made

Lied to us about how many pieces of urchin were in a single order, so we got twice as much. $27 mistake on a $200 order. Yes it’s a single urchin but two identical halves.

Their food is AMAZING. So fresh, so good. Generous portion per dish, I am so sad I only have one stomach. I got there an hour before their opening, plenty of street parking was available but by the time I got out, it seemed hectic to find a spot and the line was really long. When I just got there (an hour before opening), there was a team already in line I was the second team. will def comback to try other dishes I could not try this time.

Everything we order was delicious. The only tostada was small, but still yummy. I love the octopus. The scallop was really good.

Holbox truly deserves its Michelin star! This restaurant offers an incredible dining experience at what might be the most affordable Michelin-starred venue we’ve encountered. Every dish we tried was not only delicious but also expertly seasoned and incredibly fresh. The beautiful presentation of each plate made our meal even more delightful. Overall, Holbox is a gem that combines quality, creativity, and value in a remarkable way.

This was my second time visiting this restaurant. I am giving 2 stars because of two problems during this visit.
First, the server ordered the wrong dish for me. I pointed directly at the menu when ordering, so there should not have been confusion, but the order was still incorrect.
Second, the sea urchin dish had a serious portion issue. Both portions were smaller than the first time I came, but one of them was extremely small. You can clearly see this in the photo. I did not try to find a special angle — I simply took a top-down picture of the two plates together.
The food here tastes very good, which is the reason I came back for a second time. However, what happened during this visit was very disappointing. Because of this experience, I probably will not return again.

If you are looking for the best seafood in the city, look no further. I’ve had a lot of seafood in my life, but **Holbox is on a completely different level.**
The quality here is undeniable. Everything we ordered tasted like it was caught that morning—easily some of the **freshest and best seafood I’ve ever had.** The flavors are vibrant, authentic, and perfectly balanced. You can tell the chefs have a deep respect for the ingredients they are working with.
Whether you are a local or just passing through, **I would recommend this place to everyone.** It’s a rare find where the food truly lives up to (and exceeds) the hype. Don’t skip this spot—it’s a 10/10 experience every single time.

Holbox completely lived up to and honestly exceeded its Michelin-star reputation. We ordered the scallop ceviche, kampachi, lobster, and the fresh uni… and every dish was an absolute standout.
The scallop ceviche was bright and silky, bursting with clean citrus flavors. The kampachi had that perfect buttery texture, so fresh it practically melted. The lobster was rich, sweet, and cooked to perfection. But the uni wow. Creamy, briny, and unbelievably fresh… now I fully understand why Holbox earned its Michelin star.
Every plate was thoughtful, balanced, and executed with precision. This is seafood at its highest level innovative, respectful of the ingredients, and genuinely unforgettable.
Holbox remains one of LA’s true culinary gems. If you love world-class seafood, this place is non-negotiable.

Totally insane wait time, but honestly so worth it 😂 The shrimp was insanely plump and delicious!
