Absolutely delicious! We had an amazing experience at this Mexican restaurant. The food was full of bold, authentic flavors and perfectly seasoned. The tacos were juicy, the sauces rich, seafood was super tasty. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients and the care put into every dish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone who loves great Mexican sea food! Sea scallops are hit!
Absolutely phenomenal seafood! It’s located in a busy food hall and the lines get crazy (expect a 1-hour wait on weekends), but the flavors are unbeatable. This has become my go-to spot whenever I visit LA. Everything is so fresh and perfectly prepared. If you have the time, you HAVE to eat here!
Holbox definitely had some amazing dishes. Their fish tacos and their octopus were exceptional. The scallop aquachilles were a little too sour for us and the ceviche was good, but just as good as any other restaurant we been to. The presentation was amazing. And we generally really enjoyed the meal. The only thing that was challenging was waiting in line and then finding seats. We got there 30 minutes before open on Saturday and we waited just a little more than an hour. So 30 minutes after they opened. That wasn't bad considering the line got considerabl7 longer after we arrived. Then next challenge was finding a table. So many people were saving tables even though they weren't eating. Holbox definitely need to relocate to a new location. Would definitely go back for the fish tacos.
Really fresh food! Holbox has been on my list for a long time, and for seafood, I think it's very reasonably priced. It's located in Mercado la Paloma and has free parking. We arrived around 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday, and the line was about 20 minutes long. The mercado was pretty busy, so it was slightly hard to find a good place to sit. However, the service was very fast. The ambiance is casual and lively. We got ceviche mixto, smoked kanpachi tostada, Baja fish taco, taco de pulpo en su tinta, and churros! The ceviche mixto is a must, it was incredibly fresh! I would skip the smoked kanpachi tostada and taco de pulpo on my next visit; I thought they were just okay. The Baja fish taco was amazing, definitely try it! The star of the night was definitely the churros! They were crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the chocolate sauce was delicious. Overall, it totally deserves the hype.
The food here is simply orgasmic! My son and I bought a diverse selection of dishes and loved every single one! Talk about food coma! Hope we can visit again sometime soon! There was a bit of a wait and line to get in as you’d imagine but it moved along and was worth it! The fact that it’s a food court takes away some of the “fine dining experience” and the interior of the place isn’t fancy at all but the food makes up for it! Pricing also seemed reasonable for the quality and flavor! Not being able to buy liquor (cocktails, beer or wine) also helps keep costs down. Anyway, highly recommend!!
