I was excited to try this restaurant after reading amazing things. We ordered several tacos; shrimp, barbba special, and soft shell crab. Unfortunately everything was over sauced, heavily deep fried (topped with fried onions). There wasn’t much flavour, I was definitely expecting fresh and unique tacos but it didn’t deliver. Cute restaurant though and the guacamole was decent. Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Hit it 👍🏿! Sometimes when I'm in Mexico I'm reluctant to try the place with great reviews and tacos that are not as traditional. This place probably had the most delicious tacos of my trip. They may be 2 to 3 times the price but honestly the shrimp ones were simply delicious. The drinks were also really fun. They definitely made an effort. Price per person $300–400 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

This place deserves more than 5 stars for food. Amazing tacos, affordable, delicious and generous portions. We had our best seafood tacos here not only in Holbox but also probably all the places we visited. If we had one more day, we would have had more tacos here. Worthy visiting more than just once. Highly recommend. Price per person $200–300 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Guacamole

This place was so good we ended up eating here three times in two days. Everything we ate was delicious but the guacamole and pork belly was fantastic. Amazing food, good prices, great staff, decent cocktails and live music, what more do you want?

Food was ok. The taco order has 2 tacos and the price is 100 pesos. Tasty but not worth the money you pay. Cesar salad was nothing special and the octopus was ok. We wanted to order the lobter pizza but they didn’t have it. Price per person $300–400 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Great little place. Prompt service, excellent baja fish tacos, delicious cocktails and the flan is divine. Very reasonable prices. The live music makes for a great vibe. Price per person $300–400 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Not a bad place, just works better for drinks and nibbles than a sit down meal. The floor was literally just dirt and not really packed down/smooth so not ideal and the seating a bit cheap, but around 8pm they had a guy start singing & playing acoustic guitar, which was a nice touch. Friendly service and decent if unspectacular food. Not a bad option, but if you want a nice meal there are probably better places in town. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Stellar Baja-style shrimp and fish tacos and guacamole, so delicious we ate the same things twice here. It is no longer a market or multi-outlet place as some reviews suggest (you sit, there is a menu, servers, etc). Friendly staff, cold beer, excellent food.

Literally some of the best tacos I’ve ever had in life and I’ve had a lot of tacos!! Drinks were good as well. I went on a Sunday, service was quick and I planned to find live music afterwards and they already had it there. Definitely recommend and their prices are reasonable.
