46 Best Mexican Restaurants in Holbox

“Most amazing ceviche, and fish and shrimp tacos!! Everything was so delicious and so fresh! Not only one of the best meals in Mexico but one of the best I’ve ever had.

Really cool spot and really good prices for everything. 100% recommend this spot.“

“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.“

“We went for a dinner but we were a little bit disappointed from the lack of some dishes from the menu. Also there was an annoying flickering lamp . The food was somewhat Ok but nothing "Wow" . Afterwards we ordered two quesadillas (chicken) , one beer and one juice.Overall decent play to eat ,.“

“We came for the pancakes because of the reviews, but they didn't have pancakes, I assume because of the storm and shortages. Instead we ordered the Cochinita Chilaquiles. It was amazing! My wife and I split an order with 2 absolutely delicious Bloody Mary's. I highly recommend this place.“

“Run, don’t walk, to this hidden newbie gem. The menu is a Rolodex of inventive twists on the classic, particularly the shrimp quesadilla and the black Caesar salad. The cocktail options were all delicious, the service was extraordinary, and the low key island vibes were unmatched.

Kid-friendliness: The entire property was so accommodating and kid friendly from start to finish.“

“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.“

“The taqueria was personally recommended to us and we were not disappointed ?

It's a little off the beaten track, but easy to reach on foot. The restaurant is very nicely furnished and decorated. Most of the tables are outdoors, but there are also covered ones. The chef grills the meat fresh on the open grill in the guest garden.

We had burritos and molcajete. The burrito was tasty, large and beautifully prepared. I didn't know Molcajete... but was impressed by the description. I was pleasantly surprised ? A kind of stew with beef and shrimp in tomato sauce and cheese... A huge portion that easily serves two people.

We even got a drink on the house because we had to wait a "long" time for our food... It was about 15 minutes and totally fine.“

“Been here twice- the service is always super friendly & food delicious! Portions are small to medium sized and a little pricier than others but standard is good and location is fabulous.Our second waiter is better than our first- rafael is amazing - we hung out all day and he kept the drinks coming.Tuna tostada is amazing Baja taco is ok- salads are good and the guac is also very tasty! The spicy sauce is a 10/10.“

“We stopped here looking for a more local type of restaurant for dinner and what a surprise! Staff was super friendly, and better service than in many places in Holbox, the food was great, very tasty, quantities were very generous and price was very correct considering all of that.Strongly recommend especially if looking for something more authentic!“

“I really liked the atmosphere of this place. The floor is made of soft beach sand and the place is very well decorated. We ate some shrimp tacos and a huitlacoche quesadilla that were very very good! The waiters were very friendly. We also ordered some delicious sugar-free lemonades.“

“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“

“Incredible place, from the outside you will see it and you will think that it is a very expensive place, but it is worth going in because the prices are accessible, just like any restaurant on the island, good music, very tasty food, super nice atmosphere and the attention of the staff. amazing staff, 10 out of 10.“

“EXCELLENT ! we had the “3 mares” ceviches and the black aguachile which were really delicious. The fish and seafood are fresh, the flavors are super original, tasty and typical of the region and the dishes are very well presented. A truly flawless one, with the added bonus of a very nice atmosphere. I recommend !!“

“Expensive but good, these two parameters don't usually go together but this place is the exception. I still don't understand the mystery of why so many Argentinians in Holbox and here is not the exception either but what they do they know how to do very well, a flavor experience, just put mosquito fans

Parking: It is not possible to walk when it rains“

“Amazing experience! Been there on two different occasions a few years apart and great experiences each time. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly yet professional. Recommendations on point and everything on the menu is mouthwatering and full of flavor! Highly recommend!“

“We had hamburgers (a meat craving) + 4 drinks. It was good.
But the garnish was not there because there was no more. This can happen but the slate hasn't moved....
For 75€ (1500pesos) for 4, it's not cheap and not justified in my opinion.
There are plenty of other places that are more authentic and more affordable.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Exquisite dishes! I ordered a chicken burrito and I think it is the best I have eaten in the 13 days I have been in Mexico, my wife ordered the seafood pasta and she tells me that the squid is one of the most delicious she has ever eaten, very soft It brings all the seafood it says. The dishes are abundant and the best prices in the sector. They have a margarita and mojito promotion! I took 3...

Vegetarian options: There is in the letter

Kid-friendliness: Decorated with cheerful colors and walls with drawings of beaches and birds.“

“A great local restaurant in central Holbox, serving antijitos like panuchos, tostadas, and salbutes, all for 25 pesos each as of April 2024. Service is friendly and the food comes quick. The carne asada salbutes were particularly great. The restaurant is only open evenings and is cash only.“

“Very friendly, attentive and helpful service. The food is very good and tasty, the quantities could be increased. The place is very well maintained, neat and clean. The setting is very charming and good for admiring the sunset. It is possible to sit on the deckchairs with a consumption of 600 pesos per person per day. Which is quite suitable if you spend the day there, the cuisine is diverse and very good.
The pasta is great.“

“Those octopus nachos are exquisite!!! Super recommended and with a volleyball court on the beach! Everyone was very friendly and attentive, especially that thin young man with extravagant hair.

Parking: In front of the beach“

“Nice and relaxed atmosphere with live music just a stone's throw from the sea. Professional service. Original cocktails. Missing some products indicated on the menu. It’s simple but great for a relaxed dinner under the starry sky. Go there if you are in Holbox.“

“Happy place makes happy customers. We came 3 times during our stay and we always had excellent service and very good food. The french toast and pancakes are very yummy. Their juice, too. They take credit card (without adding 3 to 5%) and they have wifi too.“

“I don't know what the other poor reviews are talking about because everything was so freaking good.
The drinks were great.
I had the one called China because that's my name. LoL.
It was non-alcoholic, so I had them put any alcohol in it.
The table got steaks and all the tacos.
To my surprise, the mushroom one was the best even though I'm a total carnivore.
Tacos were so good that we ordered more tacos after dinner for the table.
My wife, who is super picky, loved the mushroom one.
Staff was great and attentive.
3 alcoholic beverages and a lot of food, and the bill was surprisingly low.
We've been dining out in Holbox for 2 weeks now, and so far, this is my favorite place to eat.“

“Great atmosphere at the bar! The moment I walked in, Gleyser welcomed me with a big smile. It felt like I walked through the gates of heaven by entering this extremely vibrant little paradise. Gleyser was the little angel in this heaven and took care of us by entertaining us! 10/10 would recommend!“

“We logeerden 4 dagen In het hotel waarbij dit restaurant hoort. We ontbeten elke dag hier en drie keer in de avond ook hier gegeten. Het eten was echt lekker zowel het ontbijt als het avondeten maar vooral was iedereen zo ontzettend aardig die hier werkt. Ook werd er speciaal voor mijn zoon een menu suggestie gedaan en dat bleek een perfecte keuze. Wij vonden het echt zo jammer om weer weg te gaan van deze super locatie en aardige mensen. We gaan het echt missen.“

“So cozy and chic!
Above all, the service with the most beautiful smile from Holbox!
From breakfast with your feet in the fine sand, to cocktails on the deck chairs facing the shore, to relaxing in the hammock: with family or alone, we love it!“

“A festival of flavors and colors!
The dishes were delicious, presented with attention and attention to detail. The avocado relleno was packed with flavor, as was their guacamole, and the presentation of the margaritas is also excellent, diverse in flavor and rich in flavor.

We also had a lobster pizza which was really delicious.

Quick, attentive service, and very friendly waitresses - highly recommend if in Holbox!“

“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!“

“Casual spot off the beach with beer on tap. Expect to meet fellow travelers and lose count of your drinks as you find yourself settling in for ‘yet another’!Great service at a super relaxed bar which is literally on the path for a pit stop on your way back from the beach or an end to the evening.“

“We went for dinner here last night and this is the best dinner we’ve had on the island so far! Staff are really helpful and answered all of our questions in detail about the different flavours of the dishes. We had squid to start followed by the smoked garlic prawns & the Baja fried shrimp tacos - we loved all of it! A lot of restaurants have been hit and miss on our trip, but we would return here if we ever came again!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This will probably be your favorite place in the island. Nice local food with vegetarian alternatives. You can also find burgers and fries, which we tried one night and were very happy with. It is located on a terrace and the workers are really lovely :)“

“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.“

“So so so good. We ate there on our first day in Holbox, and ended up going there the next day too! There are a bunch of choices and the food is delicious. The ambiance is really nice too, you got your feet in the sand and you can hear the eves from the beach. Overall amazing!“

“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“

“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...“

“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.

Parking: There are no cars in Holbox. Most people walk to the restaurant. Some may drive a four-wheeler or motorcycle. Street parking free.

Kid-friendliness: Some comfort foods

Wheelchair accessibility: Surface level“

“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!“

“Excellent place to have a good time with family or friends. Good music, good atmosphere, good treatment! Very friendly and fun. Reyna very attentive. We will be back soon

Kid-friendliness: My son loved the chocomilk, their burger and the potato wedges!“

“We stopped there for a few drinks and tried 4 of their signature drinks... it was some of the best drinks we had in a while. The service was great, and of course, you're a few steps away from the beach. If you are looking for Wi-Fi, on the other hand, they only offer it to their hotel guests.“
