this is my 6th time at Holbox and I must say, for the money, this is the most consistent seafood restaurant in the city. I've never had a bad bite here and truly a special place we have in the city.

I’ve only been once, but it was truly so fantastic!! I need to get back ASAP.

I used to live overseas, and a lot of my friends from abroad have work or personal trips to LA.
I’ve taken 7 visitors from China, 2 from Hong Kong, and 3 from Taiwan to Holbox in the last year. They’ve all loved it.

I really need to visit sometime.

Went for the first time a couple days ago and I will most certainly be back. The scallop aguachiles are so good they probably shouldn’t be legal.
One of my favorite foodie pic if taken in the past year, plating and flavor on point.

Holbox is amazing! I’ve been going since 2019, and the food and service are always on point! Never disappoints! I make sure to try and take friends and colleagues when they are in town.

Skip the tacos and literally get anything else there. The tacos are the weakest part of the menu. The rest is fantastic

What should I eat there the 1st time to convince me to come back again and again?

I was just there! The bluefin tuna and scallops were 🔥🔥🔥
Just went there last week and it’s sooo good! Also love their seafood soup!

It is our number one recommendation to our visitors in LA.

Is this the tasting menu or a la carte?

Isn’t this the place where a tostada costs like $30?

To be fair, the tacos fell a little flat.
If i were to go there, I’d strictly go for the ceviches, tostadas, and the entrees.
If it had real quality table service, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets two stars.

3x and I still don’t get it. Nothing special other than very fresh seafood.

Been going since the week they opened. Chef deserves every accolade, and he’s still as nice and approachable as he was at the start.

I think I like Holbox (tried the tasting menu as well as just went for normal ala carte ordering). However I think people overhype it still. It’s pretty decent for the price.

I love everything, but lately I’ve been into the sopa de mariscos and the ceviche mixto. Last weekend I went two days in a row.

How were the lines. I tried to go around Christmas and it would have been the first time I went there since they got their star. The line was out the door and wrapping around the parking lot. It’s good enough to wait in line for (well maybe not that long a line) but we had tickets for an event and just didn’t have enough time.

It’s a great experience. His love of sharing the culture and experience shows through. Also the brigade professionalism of the “younger” staff comes through.

Went there again last night. The value is insane. I want more restaurants to copy their business model.
I need to try Komal as well.

Dumb question — do you just go, even though the reservations are impossible to get? Any tips for when to go?

The octopus was PHENOMENAL when I went. Def will be going again
