We have visited here before on past trips. I had fish fillet and my partner had one of their daily specials. Both of our meals were overly salted to the point of not being edible. We came back the next day and spoke to the owner and described our experience and she apologized and refunded our dinners. We returned a... More

We were staying on the property so had the opportunity to eat here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything was consistently very good and tasted fresh with lots of options from ceviche, quesadillas, pastas, etc.The prices were very reasonable and the service very friendly.

So, forget the buffets at some nesrby hotels and move a few steps to have lunch in this cozy place. We tried pastas, ceviches and calamares. Very tasteful, excelent setvice and not expensive!

Just could not warm up to this place despite the inviting setting. The ceviche, fajitas, and lobster quesadilla were ok but nothing special. The food at our hotel was far superior and more reasonably priced.

It's a beach restaurant, but they have a great chef, I think is a heritage from the italian owner. The prices are average. The view is excellent, and the service is very good. Try the maracuya cocktail

Get the lobster tacos--so delicious. It's sort of a funky little dining room, too. And there are nice chairs on the beach if you want to have a cocktail at sunset.

The view is the nicest on holbox, the backround music is great, just the right volume. The service is good. The included breakfast had good strong coffee there was a great marmalade with the toast. I was however suprised at how bad the food from the menu was. Everything tasted like it had been assembled just out of a can.... More

My friends and I popped in there one evening and ordered the quesadillas de camaron. Well, they were absolutely delicious. Plenty of shrimp and cheese in the tortillas, and 4 of them piping hot with some avocado and some salsa, just right for a light evening meal! And the location is great, looking out over the beach through the palm... More

The smell of grilled seafood emanates in the evenings... the atmosphere is laid back (right on the beach/sand) and the people are friendly. The prices are reasonable. The recommendations by the servers were well recieved - the fresh grilled fish, guacamole(slightly salty but very delicious), and drinks were delicious. And I am very picky. Highly recommended.

We stopped by for a drink and the service was great. Fernando told us about whale shark tour and wasn't pushy at all. He was great and so was the young man from Mexico City. The drinks were great and original. We didn't try the food. Nice place though!
