- Hey everyone, we are here today
on beautiful Isla Holbox in Mexico.
We've had some great food during our time here.
And so today, we want to share
with you a few of our favorites.

One of the places that we read about
before we came to the island and
that I know I was super excited to try was A la Chingada.
A la Chingada is known here for their ceviche
and their fresh seafood dishes.
So we were able to try the ceviche
and some of the fish tacos and quesadillas.
And they were incredibly delicious!
The ceviche is fresh.
It's limey, it's spicy, and the hot sauce they served it
with actually like my mouth was like on fire.
And I love hot sauce so it was quite the treat.
- Definitely in line for one of the best taco places
in town is Taco Queto and their specialty is taco al pastor,
which we love. - Absolutely!
- [Michael] So we were excited
to go there and it did not disappoint.
Amazing place, always bustling, inexpensive.
So if you're looking for just a great taco
while you're here in Holbox, you can't do better than this.

- Something that is incredibly popular here
on the island are smoothies and bowls.
- You're right.
- Two great places that we discovered
to go for those were Tierra Mia and Palmetto.
- Right. - At Tierra Mia,
you can also have some wonderful coffee.
They have giant-sized coffees,
cappuccinos if you need them, as well
as tasty bagels, waffles with Nutella,
and some of the best smoothies that we've ever had.
For something a little bit quainter,
cuter, beachier, head to Palmetto.
It's just on the beach.
They've got a very cute sort of hut set up
with swings to sit on, delicious bowls,
and smoothies as well.

So if you're coming to Holbox,
you're probably interested in having some lobster pizza.
And the one place that most people seem
to gravitate to is Roots.
They have a great location.
They have a big terrace, a big yard.
They're a bouncy area for kids.
There's live music.
They have wood-burning pizza ovens.
- [Lindsay] And there's lots of different types
of pizzas to try if lobster pizza isn't your thing.
We had one with sort of a Caribbean-style pork
and pineapple and it was absolutely delicious!
- [Michael] Fantastic!

- We love to go out for tapas style dishes,
desserts, sweets, and craft cocktails
when we are traveling and one of the best places
to do that here on Holbox is Luuma.
Luuma is easily one of the most beautiful restaurants
we have ever been into and they have some
of the tastiest craft cocktails for sure.
We really enjoyed the Luuma Colada was an amazing treat.
And the staff is just amazing.
The desserts were fantastic and it's right next
to a super hip, cool boutique,
very cool place to check out.

- What trip to Mexico would be complete
without some street food, specifically street tacos?
And that's definitely in abundance here.
At night time around the town square,
you can find plenty of food vendors.
But our big discovery here was sopes.
So good!
So for 20 Mexican pesos you can have yourself a carne
or pollo sope and they are delish!
- [Lindsay] So tasty, we wanna make them at home!
- [Michael] So if you're thinking
of an inexpensive meal, you can't beat that one.
- You could live your entire time here,
spend your entire time here having sopes
and you would not be sad.

If you're looking for a great place
to grab a breakfast, a Mexican-style coffee,
a smoothie, or a sandwich,
El Cafecito is a great place to visit.
It's just a few blocks from the town square.
It has a bustling environment with really friendly staff
and comfortable seating on a really beautiful patio.
- [Michael] And you can say hello to Diego, the local cat.
- [Lindsay] He's cute!
(upbeat music)
- So between our Airbnb
and the beach was this little restaurant called Iguanas,
which was attached to Casa Iguana.
It's a little more expensive,
but we found the food really great,
the cocktails really great.
- [Lindsay] I really enjoyed the margaritas there.
And the tostaditas de pescado were amazing.
- [Michael] So if you're at the beach and you happen
to be nearby, this is a good go-to.
