Lunch with hubby at the newly opened restaurant Holbox located in Mercado La Paloma. Same owners of Chichén Itzá Restaurant in same location. Very excited when I found out they were bringing a seafood restaurant to this locale because it's owned by Gilberto Cetina and because of his success with his current restaurant I was certain he'd have a hit venturing in seafood. We ordered the yellowtail tacos and the octopus tacos cooked in its ink. Both were amazingly delicious with lots of flavor. I added a little bit of their freshly made dark chili salsa which added a little kick. We also ordered a shrimp cocktail and an octopus cocktail. The juice used in their cocktails is 99.9% similar to how they are made in the Yucatán, sweet flavor with chopped onions and avocado garnish. Mine had a whole shrimp added for presentation which you can peel and enjoy! The cocktails come with saltine crackers which is a typically condiment for the cocktail. Our drinks of choice were fresh agua de naranja which was very refreshing. Complimentary chips and fresh salsa given when we sat down at the counter. The counter setting had a nice friendly feel also reminiscent of the Yucatán when you go to El Centro and sit on a stool to have your meal prepared in front of you. Will definitely be back to try other items! Congratulations on a great restaurant!

Holbox seafood restaurant is just great! Fish tacos, lobster tacos, ceviche, shrimp cocktails and other items I have tried from their menu have been extra good and super, super fresh, so fresh that is prepared right in front of your eyes. The tall Cocktail is my favorite since it has lots and lots of mixed seafood in its red delicious juice topped with a huge prawn! Holbox has excellent flavors, textures and good size servings and a relaxed atmosphere for all to enjoy. I highly recommend it!
