Excellent From start to finish Victor and Russel were great. They were patient and answered all of our questions. Victor gave plenty of recommendations, which we appreciated. We ordered the ceviche tropical, coconut shrimp, coconut fish fillet, grilled fish fillet in guajillo sauce, and a lightly fried chicken sandwich. All of the food was I look forward to coming back when visiting Holbox again.

Everything was really good, from food to service, to the atmosphere! Nice, breezy outdoor seating. Attentive service by Victor!. The octopus a la diabla paired really well with the yummy rummy Big Fish drink.

The best food we had in our 5 days on Holbox. We shared the pescadillos, las pupas tacos, and the Yucateco aguachiles. And some cocktails! They also brought out a homemade habanero sauce during our meal, which was deliciously smokey.

Tuna tostada is the best!! We had such a lovely time here and Rasa is just the sweetest. Kiddos loved the “fish fingers”. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is very good, and the food also is incredible for the price. I definitely recommend it.

The fish was some of the freshest fish I ever ate. The food was good quality. I recommend this restaurant.

We had such a relaxing time at this place. It doesn’t try to be anything fancy, it’s just very friendly service and tasty food. Our host in Holbox recommended we try the tuna tostada. It was absolutely dynamite and the highlight of our meal. Great spot to grab a quick bite and a cold beer!

It's a simple, unpretentious spot, but they serve the best tostada de camarón I’ve ever tasted — super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. I loved it so much I came back three times during my trip! The prices are very fair for the quality you get. If you’re in Holbox and love seafood, this place is a must.
