Casual place with mostly indoor seating that is completely opened up in the front to enjoy the outdoors. We had dinner of guacamole and pescado frito. Fish was very fresh and not fishy at all. Fried perfectly, crisp exterior while meat remained tender. Everything was seasoned well. Portion was large. A small fish order could easily feed 2. There was a downpour during dinner but we stayed dry and comfortable. Prices are on the higher end especially for MX, but for quality it was worth it.

Atmosphere: classic sand-covered floor with a great bar. Pro tip: If you like authentic margaritas, ask for no azúcar / no agave.

There are a couple seats facing the main square and probably 12 seats inside. Typical on the island, the service is extremely laid back. There was one waiter running his bum off, taking orders, delivering food, etc. Our Spanish is beginner level but he understood some English as well and took our order in an IPad type of device. We ordered two tortillas (fluffy frittata with potatoes), a side of refried beans and coffee. He also gave us a little cart of pico de gallo, habernero oil and a thousand island type sauce. Everything was so delicious and inspirational. So far, the best breakfast for the value we've had on the island.

The night we were there, the menu choices included white fish (like sea bass) with poblano chilies, a shrimp with chipotle butter, a mixed seafood dish and a steak entree. Nothing was truly spicy. Later, seeing the small open kitchen, we were surprised at all they produced there with one person cooking. When on Holbox, go for the seafood. (It's a fishing village. You can't go wrong.) The chef came to each table to take orders after his business partner greeted us and shared initial details about the set menu. We tried to buy time to ponder the menu, but the chef let us know we had to order immediately. We didn't want to offend the chef and miss a chance at dinner so we obliged, but maybe a little less pressure would have worked better with our vacation pace.

Don't bother.
