Great photos @moonboy403. I Holbox.
I didn’t see it on the menu
it’s off menu
FML. Where’s the pro-tip?!
The bread is great.
disagreed on that, but that was definitely one of my favorites of the night. the blood clams look great as well
Get the smoked fish tostada, scallop taco, shrimp torta and eat it all quickly slathered in their amazing kut salsa. Then proceed to Chichen Itza for their chicharron tacos and potato salad topped with some habanero salsa. If still hungry, proceed East to Tire Shop Taqueria for asada and chorizo tacos and mulitas. One of the best surf and turf bang bangs in the city.
Thank you.
Excellent review! Thank you!
Im going back!
What would people recommend between the coctel vs. a ceviche?
will try the kanpachi and uni tostada this time and possibly the smoked kanpachi taco
Warrior: This doesn’t pertain to Holbox in particular (not sure I’ve tried their coctel due to sentiment I express here). But am I the only person who finds Mexican seafood cocktails too sweet? The problem is they use ketchup, which is a corn syrupy, factory produced abomination that should not exist. And to add insult to injury, the cocktails come with factory produced saltines in little plastic bags.
coctel
The OG sweet salt.
Smoked kanpachi tostada
Scallop taco
Shrimp torta
Chile rellenos with smoked fish
Sopa de mariscos
Add copious amounts of kut salsa (the white one) to everything.
I prefer the ceviche to the coctel
Fwiw the Holbox coctel is based on the standard version with ketchup hot sauce and orange Fanta, but they make their own sweet/salty tomato sauce and hot sauce, and use fresh squeezed orange juice.
A must for eating aguachile, imo!
sopa de mariscos, bread comes free.
