Restaurants in Holbox

“This food truck serves both tacos de barbacoa and birria. It is simply divine. As simple and authentic as it gets. The birria consommé isn’t too heavy nor fat it has just was it needs - at a very good price.”

“We ate the lobster pizza, which was delicious, I just wish the lobster stuck to the cheese a little better. We ordered some cocktails too that were very good too.”

“Vim tomar café da manhã e voltei pro jantar! No café a atendente foi muito querida e me deixou experimentar uma quesadilla com queijo vegano (pedi uma unitária, o que não tinha no cardápio), e tive que voltar pra janta pra comer o prato completo, que vem com arroz, feijão e salada! Muito gostoso! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-11”

“One of the best restaurants in Holbox. The service is great and for the dishes: ceviche / tostadas or even the lobster are succulent!

Thanks again !!”

“This Mexican food stand that I recently discovered is simply spectacular! From the first bite, I knew I had found a special place. The seasoning is authentic and each dish is prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I tried the red chilaquiles with egg.
Portions are generous and the homemade sauces add an extra touch of deliciousness. They also offer fresh waters!
The service is fast and friendly, making the experience even more pleasant.”

“The young woman in service was very personable and attentive. The drinks were good and relatively cheap. The food is a bit expensive and unfortunately not as great as the rest.
We had live music from 9:15 p.m. ??”

“Excellent address for discovering the authentic flavors of Italian cuisine. The pizzas are delicious, the welcome and quality service, lovely decor and a very pleasant atmosphere. We went there on recommendation and in turn recommend trying the experience!”

“The staff and Temoc greeted us friendly and the service was great!
The quality of food and drinks was on top and the atmosphere is very chill. Would love to come back.”

“Get the guac with grilled octopus! ? ? see Pic! Their tostada is good too, more on the acidic side. Their salsas (black and red) are fabulous if you're in for the heat!”

“I've been vegetarian for over a decade, travel a lot for work and this is hands down one of the best places I've been. I was blown away by the amazing breakfast I had here. So much so, I took friends back and it became my go-to spot during the week-long stay in Holbox. So many veggies on one plate! I'm talking broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, beets, potato, carrot, jicama, tomato and lettuce, plus antipasto sundried tomato, artichoke, zucchini and eggplant ... and that was with my organic eggs on toast breakfast. On revisits back I had vegan dishes too (sorry forgot to take a picture) and loved the eggplant balls as well. This place is worth the visit with great staff, friendly atmosphere, location, and excellent service.”

“I just went yesterday and the truth is we loved it, my mom ordered flank steak tacos, my daughters had potatoes and I had fried pork cakes and the truth is everything was very delicious, highly recommended and the drinks, not to mention, super refreshing and rich”

“My family and I visited Holbox and wanted to experience a real local seafood restaurant. We got some recommendations but decided to go to La Barracuda. Oh my goodness! We loved it! I got the octopus fried ceviche and it was the best ceviche I’ve ever had. Great service from our waiter Victor. 100% recommended!”

“Fresh product and very well worked. Octopus and bacon in a taco, your head will explode.
They know what they are doing. Highly recommended.
I can't believe it was empty.
Simple and friendly service. We will definitely repeat to try the rest of your proposal.”

“A place with a very rich seasoning. Veracruz style food with a delicious touch.

The restaurant is a little hidden, on the second floor. The prices are affordable, however, although they accept cards, you have to ask beforehand.

A negative point is that we realized that, like most restaurants, they leave the food on the counter before serving it. When doing so, it was filled with flies and the manager realized it but continued preparing another order instead of paying attention to it. hygiene.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is not wheelchair accessible. You have to go up to a second floor.”

“The food is wonderful. Well presented, imaginative, and with intense flavors. The pasta with lobster is a success. The treatment is exquisite and they are constantly attentive to your needs. And the dessert... how beautiful! Highly recommended, you can't leave without trying it.”

“Situé en dehors du centre très fréquenté.

Idéal pour boire un verre à tarif raisonnable ou se nourrir à petit prix également

Grand extérieur”

“They had a couple vegan options. I had an avocado toast which was very good, they put a lot of avocado on it, tomato and salad. I would have loved some hummus with it but it was good nevertheless. Bit expensive for Mexican standards but I would do it again!”

“Amazing food, great service by the staff. We went to all the local places and enjoy this food the most, prices are great when compared to the quality of food. Definitely recommend going here when you stay in Holbox! We are European and enjoyed it a lot for Mexican food!”

“The freshest and most delicious tacos! Server was very attentive and explained the dishes as best he could in English. Very authentic no frills dinner. The whole meal including tip was less the €20!”

“The place is simple but the quality of the food incredible. Service is great you can seat relax and read a good book. Chai latte and the juices good price very good for the island”

“Quiet and beautiful place. The service is a 10. The man who runs it is super friendly and charming. We ordered tacos and quesadillas and they were delicious. And we pay very little, the cheapest place in Holbox. I recommend 100%”

“Excellent experience! A very comfortable place, with good energy, and very attentive staff! The bartender Hernan treated us exceptionally, very attentive and willing!”

“Great find in Hobox. Great coffee and good service. Chicken and waffles were delicious!

The atmosphere was great. Open air which was refreshing”

“The lobster pizza is a 10/10
The cochinita pizza is meh 7/10 (it doesn't have much meat) so I don't think it's worth it

In general, the service and attention are super good and they do accept cards ??”

“Some of the best sushi we have ever had. Jesus our waiter was so helpful and friendly, especially accommodating to gluten free diet.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”

“We ordered 2 pizzas and they were very very delicious,
The one with pepperoni and 5 ingredients
The thin bread, crunchy but soft at the same time, very delicious 100% recommended”

“Great little beach club. There wasn't a cat when we were there. The service was extraordinary, an adorable, kind, very considerate, smiling man.
This kind of service feels good in this tourist island where you feel considered as a wallet rather than a customer. Very good and healthy food. No loud music, relaxed atmosphere. Thanks again.”

“Unbeatable quality - price on the island. The closest thing to Mexican gastronomy. We ate a portion of 3 tacos (pastor, chorizo ​​and tacoqueto), 2 quesadillas, half of pastor nachos (disappointment) and a sirloin cake (quite delicious), 2 hibiscus waters and a natural water 550 pesos approx. They don't sell alcohol, but you can buy it and bring it to you without problems.”

“The best in Holbox, especially the micheladas, the most delicious on the island, the staff always attentive to customer service, the coldest beers in all of Holbox, 100% recommended”

“DELICIOUS TACOS! Super good price, we repeat the next night, one of the best I have eaten in Mexico, they make them to your liking with flour or corn, we ask for flour and they are super crispy, we repeat and everything!!”

“Amazing food! We ate the shrimp fajitas. The truth is that it is a bit expensive, but it is delicious, it is very pleasant and the service is unbeatable! The waiters were super attentive and friendly. A highly recommended place!!!”

“I think the concept here is really amazing and fun. Lots of time went into curating the menu, both for food and drinks and there is quite a lot of funky stuff going on that many US restaurants may not dare try, so appreciate that.

The garden was also so well designed and played out the overall experience here is amazingly chill and cool.

With that, for the prices you pay to eat here one would expect all food to hit the mark but will admit the pumpkin dish did not. Sadly it was not fully cooked through so was basically eating raw pumpkin. The land was good, but also the lobster dumplings tasted kind of funky but they had this nice lobster bisque flavored sauce beneath to make it taste worthwhile.

Would visit for a cocktail and to hang out but I think AMA is a much better choice in terms of food.

Service was great!”

“They had no vegan options per se but you were able to substitute the regular cheese with vegan cheese. The pizza (esp. the dough) was very tasty! Just a bit expensive for Mexican standards.”

“WHAT A FIND -

Been dumped? Got all your belongings stolen? Stung by a ray? Got sand all over you and it’s really annoying? LOS CAMARONES AL AJO WILL MAKE YOU FORGET ALL YOUR PROBLEMS!!!! They also do frozen chocomilk!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT!

Genuinely one of the most delicious meals (and definitely top seafood) we’ve had in Mexico so far - the seafood is fresh fresh fresh beyond belief, staff so friendly and even randomly offered to exchange our dollars for pesos at a really good rate which was so handy!?

Seriously though try the prawns - you will probably be thinking about this meal on your death bed?? ?”

“Olita de Mar is so cute. It starts off walking into a small side garden that blooms into some adorable seating. There are pastels everywhere, it's bright and airy. The breakfast is very good. I had a generous portion of chilaquiles with green chili and eggs, my boyfriend had the turkey breast omelette. Both were delicious.”

“The attention, the atmosphere, the food, everything was delicious, the kids are very, very friendly, and every time I return to the island I have dinner there in the choripan... Alex... Magdiel... and apler Uriel, super attentive... Thank you guys...”

“Very good food, super clean place and very friendly waiters, the price, good as on the entire island. I ordered some Motuleños eggs, the best, I don't know if they were surpassed by some that I ate in Palenque or they are tied. When you have breakfast, ask for them. 100% recommendable.”

“One of the best grilled ribeyes I've had, especially for this price.Staff is very nice and attentive, and they were playing the NFC championship which is a plus.”

“The perfect spot to spend the day. Ivan and Manuel made our stay unforgettable!

Vegetarian options: Even though vegetarian dishes might not be on the menu, Manuel is always happy to help and comes up with new ideas”

“Mc Donna tooodddooooo what a veeerrrr!!!, the most delicious hamburgers I have ever tried, even though the stores mostly sell seafood Mc Donna comes to the rescue with her delicious hamburgers and hotdogs, they are great, for those who eat well and very good flavor, if you have the opportunity to visit Holbox do not hesitate to come to Mc Donna, you will not regret it. 10/10”

“Lovely little breakfast place, recommended by locals. It can get very busy, very fast. We went there 3-4 times very early in the morning, at 8am which is their opening time, so we found a table right away but it got full in a blink of an eye.We tried their Chillaquiles Divorciados, the Enfrijoladas, Detox juice, iced green tea and strawberry milkshake. The filter coffee is OK as well.The prices are fair and they take card payments as well -assuming WiFi is working -we had no issues.The location is very central, right opposite the basketball/volleyball court (which doubles as a market on Sundays!), and the taxi rank, which means its a relatively busy road. Of the weather permits, they have a couple of tables outside, in the street too. We sat inside all of the times.”

“Amazing place! The food us just out of this world! They only have sopes, this traditional Mexican dish, but they have a wide variety of them, I had two and I was full. They also have mezcal a traditional Mexican liquor, brother of tequila and they make this thing called cantarito that has some mezcal, lime juice and lemon juice that will blow your mind. The service is amazingly fast for Holbox hahah totally would recommend it to have some fun, some drinks, good food and just chill”

“The food is very good, it takes a reasonable amount of time but the truth is that it is worth it for its price.The service is a little poor, they don't treat you badly but it could improve a little.Everything is very rich, I really like the construction”

“We came here for drinks a few times during our visit to Holbox - it's rooftop location makes it a great place to watch all the action at the square and enjoy some breeze on a hot day”

“@malix_holbox one of the best sushi’s we have try in Mexico, they are located in @aldeakuka in Holbox Island our favorites where the citrus salmon roll and the robalo nigiri with citrus visit them and you will enjoy your food but it will be more than that it will be an amazing experience. Ven visítalos y tú paladar quedará deleitado con el mejor sushi de la isla de Holbox”

“You could go to Roots, or you could come here and get great food and drinks for less money. I didn't receive a compulsory service charge like others suggested. 2 margaritas and a gourmet pizza for 380MXN (20USD). 3 Stars on atmosphere only because it was a Monday and a little quiet. Great attentive service ?”

“One of the great spots to visit in the island , the food , drinks and view make one of the must do here at Holbox ask for Cassy he is the master of the service enjoy the island amigos”

“Delicious food, especially the tostada de atún! Staff was friendly and service was quick. Great pool to enjoy the sunshine from. The space could use a bit of a facelift, looks a bit weathered but still enjoyed the setting nonetheless.”

“Great menu, food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. I loved the short ribs, the Bibb salad, the pickled fish was surprisingly good, and local fish (grouper) was enjoyed by my son. Will definitely return on our next visit to Holbox!”

“Great beach restaurant. Our water taxi driver recommended it. It's not so peicey and it's original and typical. The fried fish and the ceviche were delicious.

Buen restaurante playero. Nuestro playero lo recomendó. No está tan caro y es típico y original. El pescado frito y el ceviche estaban buenoísimos.

“The food is very good, the service is excellent but at the time of billing it is terrible. I have been there for several days and they do not answer me via email and their phones do not work.”

“We are big food people and travel frequently. We use to come to Tulum many times and year and after covid found our love for Holbox. After trying literally every restaurant on the island this hands down is the best! The grilled shrimp was amazing , watermelon salad , heart of palm and the dessert . we are going back again before we leave !!”

“A super Mexican place, very large dishes, but the attention is very limited, I think there were only two waiters for 20 tables ? very affordable prices, super central, the woman who sings is incredible! The tables and in general the restaurant is not very clean ?We ordered fish with banana leaf, Milanese, fried fish, deviled fish (SUPER spicy) and pasta.”

“The flavor is very good, especially the cazon and lobster ones, the place is small and fills up very quickly so it is good to be patient, the empanadas, when made at the moment, take a long time, so it is advisable to place the complete order from the beginning”

“I really like the place, it has its climate and everything is very good, only the volume of the music now does not allow us to talk comfortably, before it was possible and now you have to shout but otherwise everything is ”

“Came here for lunch one day and the tacos were incredible. It’s Omni so I didn’t think it would be anything special but these were some of the best vegan tacos ever. They have 3 veg tacos that can be made vegan—just ask to confirm they will be—cauliflower, garlic mushroom and spicy mushroom. Also the habanero salsa 🌶️ they put on the table is 🧑🏻‍🍳💋 !!”

“The place is very good. The fish is well served and delicious to combine with a good chela or favorite drink. Affordable prices and a few steps from the beach access.The only detail is that they are a bit slow but apart from that, an excellent option to eat in Holbox.”

“It's a cute little place with amazing flavor. I had quesadillas with pastor and asada and they are incredibly well served, and very tasty.
They were open when no one else was, so they also saved us from starving haha.

Great place!”

“Having not found any Japanese that is up to the task, I can tell you that I recommend this one.
Very pleasant staff, beautiful view and incredible value for money!”

“I come from Milan and I can say that the sushi found in this place is excellent! I was surprised and in 4 days of holiday in Holbox I went there 3 times! I know there are other sushi places on the island but I haven't even had the idea of ​​going and trying others. The price is also great!”

“The best restaurant we went to during our vacation at holbox. The drinks and food were amazing , our favorite was the Chaya omelet in the morning. The atmosphere was also beautiful and colorful. We had amazing service , Pol really made our trip special. He was so kind and shared amazing stories from his life in Holbox. Do not miss out on coming to Casa alebrije!”

“Hello travelers, something great is done in this place, there are people who are inside dancing and drinking but also outside, they buy their chelas and spend the time outside talking and dancing.”
