We ordered lobster and shrimp pizza. Both were good, but lobster was the favorite. However, we think it is a little bit overpriced. Live music was good. There were two different bands playing. Plus point, they don't charge tip on the bill! Minus point, we waited around 20 minutes for the bill.

The famous Lobster Pizza at Roots Holbox is an absolute must-try! The flavors are mesmerizing and truly unforgettable. The waitstaff are incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. We loved it so much that we had to visit twice during our stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Holbox!

Great pizza. Real wood fire oven. The atmosphere what's great. They had live music. When I was reviewing the restaurant online before going I felt like it would be gimmicky. I was 100% wrong. And it was an amazing place. I'm really glad I went. I highly recommend this.

Pizza was good but I was expecting a little more from the lobster pizza. Probably hyped up too much in videos so I was expecting out of this world and it was just good.

Roots is a pizza powerhouse on Isla Holbox! Such a damn good pizza I was actually shocked. The accoutrements absolutely tipped the pizza over the edge to one of the best pies I've ever had. Staff was friendly, pizza was quick, and drinks were ice cold. Will be back if I visit Holbox again.

Because of all the hype we felt obligated to try the lobster pizza while in Holbox. Neither of us is super fan of lobster originally(especially on pizza), but it really delivered. Tender meat and overall just very tasty. A bit on the average side in terms of service and the place is packed with flies when you get the food. They do provide a cover for your pizza though. All in all a good experience.

Cool open air wood fired pizza spot in downtown Holbox. Great value and atmosphere. Treated to live music on a Sunday evening. Our total was 400 pesos for a pepperoni pizza, bruscheta and a can of Pepsi. We thought the food was very good and also a nice value for what we received.

We were just visiting Nov 11-14 and we stopped in here every night during our trip. Rebecca was the absolute best! She gave great recommendations on the food and drinks we had there and also some nice local recommendations as well. Great food, cocktails, atmosphere, and of course bar service!

Had an amazing dinner here! Our server Nino (don't hold me to the spelling) was very attentive. And they asked up front if we had allergies (which was good since my lady has an onion allergy). We started off with the octopus, and coconut shrimp appetizers, along with fish throat and chichiron appetizer. All were fantastic! Main course we did the whole fish, with the homemade corn tortillas (I am used to crappy US corn tortillas, and normally avoid. But they got me liking these!). Dessert was a chocolate ganache with rosemary bread chips, and a passion fruit ice cream and shortbread. Both of those were mind-blowing! I've continued to be super impressed with the culinary skills here on Holbox!

This place is nice, but it seems to aim too much at Tulum’s upscale crowd, which doesn’t really match the island’s vibe, in my opinion. The food is good and the dishes are refined, but it’s a bit pricey and feels more like a sit-down dinner spot that doesn’t quite fit here — at least not yet. I won’t give it a bad rating, because you can see the effort, but it just wasn’t really my vibe.

Really tasty and fun experience. The food and service were great. We sat at the bar and loved watching the kitchen in action. It is on the pricey side though!

I think the concept here is really amazing and fun. Lots of time went into curating the menu, both for food and drinks and there is quite a lot of funky stuff going on that many US restaurants may not dare try, so appreciate that. The garden was also so well designed and played out the overall experience here is amazingly chill and cool. With that, for the prices you pay to eat here one would expect all food to hit the mark but will admit the pumpkin dish did not. Sadly it was not fully cooked through so was basically eating raw pumpkin. The land was good, but also the lobster dumplings tasted kind of funky but they had this nice lobster bisque flavored sauce beneath to make it taste worthwhile. Would visit for a cocktail and to hang out but I think AMA is a much better choice in terms of food. Service was great!

A very beautiful, high-priced restaurant/location with a great terrace in the middle of Holbox. Vegan options available. Includes a pop-up store. Pros: + live cooking in an outdoor kitchen + excellent and polite staff + top location with a cozy atmosphere + vegan options available Cons: - very high prices, e.g., €10.50 for 0.1 L of wine - not particularly impressive in terms of flavour

The food we ordered was great and the smoothies were delicious. I wish there was a little bit more in terms of options for food (we ate there for breakfast) but the atmosphere was 10/10. And I would definitely go back. Our waiter was also very friendly.

The food is amazing (albeit slightly expensive) but it’s worth it if you’re just visiting and want a great brunch experience! Also great location and staff are super nice. A bit busy sometimes but not “too” busy! Definitely recommend!

What a place! Went in for the promising food (which turned out to be correct) , but ended up having a great interaction with one of the co-owners ! In short, one of the best brunches I ever had, good music, good price-quality ratio and owned by great people with the heart on the right place. Really made my day ! Make sure to pass by this place once you are on this dreamy island ✨

We were a big group, amongst the 8 of us we ordered the smoothie bowls, pancakes with bacon and eggs and eggs plate. Great coffees as well. Would come back

Take this review, add your mom’s best meal, your favorite restaurant, and you get a hint of Painapol. Go to San Francisco, Sante Fe, Oaxaca, and find the best menu and I’m telling you Painapol is better. Look at the menu. Homemade perfect bread with carmelized onions, egg, avocado, bacon, lettuce, and balsamic!!! Good lord it was what Mona Lisa would eat. Breakfast is hard because the expected ingredients are limited. So Painapol provides the starting point, gives you choices, and adds them in the right amount and you see why the smallest people leave their plate clean. I had to try the Nutella pancakes. Pretty simple. Like a perfect NY steak hard to great right and distinguish yourself. These pancakes were delectable. Oh, the coffee was arguably the best coffee I’ve had and I’m from Seattle and I have a coffee bar at home and I drink Ethiopian beans with a pour over. Painapol’s coffee makes me hate going home because they set the bar unreasonably high. Hey, you’re in Holbox. You can’t leave without going to the beach, finding a great marg, and having a meal at Painapol. And the best part - world class service. Everyone smiling. Everyone taking ownership of your experience. Gracious employees who are proud to provide the best meal with love-filled service. If this restaurant’s ownership wanted to they could set up shop anywhere and be wildly successful. If you’re opening a restaurant study Painapol. I opened the Belaggio in Las Vegas, Circo, and worked at many others. This place is a masterpiece.

This was by far one of our favourite breakfast places. Portions are so big you can share! They were very accommodating to get us sat at a table with a full restaurant. Staff was so friendly and kind to our tried travelling kids! Would highly recommend

Great food, great atmosphere, amazing service. Presentation and flavors really good. My biggest complaint is they do not have a restroom. They have a sign that says “baño” pointing at a door, the door was closed, the staff told me that it was the bathroom but if it was closed someone was in there. We finished eating and the door was still closed, we waited another 20 minutes and the restroom remained closed and staff still saying someone was in there. I ended up having to buy a coffee at another place in order to use their restroom. Everything was fine and except for that which became a BIG thing, I mean we are traveling and having food, of course we need a restroom, it’s a restaurant! Too bad because the food was really good and the presentation too. Restroom is the only reason I’m giving it 3 stars.

The food and drinks were great, and loved the fun, original presentation of each dish!. The only downside was the long wait, but overall it was still an enjoyable experience.

Overall, the food was okay, but if you're aiming for an Italian restaurant, don't mix in French decor. The dishes were decent, but the quality didn't quite match authentic Italian standards. There's definitely room for improvement.

They catered for my vegan diet and the pasta was unbelievably tasty. It's a beautiful rooftop restaurant with delicious cocktails and great service. Good for groups or date nights!

The place, and with the palapa roof I love, the lights, the Lo-Fi, relaxing music, the Service, the Food, delicious, all AA++. Extremely fresh ingredients. No wonder they have rewards and a lot of great reviews on reading sites. A place has to be really good for me to come back, and I will come back here

Nice and quiet location on a roof top! We ate for dinner and it was absolutely fantastic! They offer a lot of pasta options and it’s hard to decide which to choose! Definitely will come back for the limoncello tiramisu!

Food is excellent. Service is outstanding. Very comfortable and quiet relaxing location. A bit of an adventure and a few flights of stairs to get there but well worth it. Our waiter Fernando was wonderful.

The food was amazing, very authentic Italian cuisine! It was a very good alternative to the Mexican tacos and so on. The waiters were very attentive and the service was great overall. The wine card is also exceptional good. Absolutely worth visiting!

A really nice restaurant, very nearly 5 stars, but the food was a little bland. The vegetables pictured with the lamb were boiled, then chargrilled giving them a slightly soggy texture. The lamb was cooked beautifully and the pasta was great, but could have had more flavour. Nice evening though, thanks!

Good food! Bit heavy on the deep fried but the portions were good and that popcorn ship mighty tasty. Prices a bit higher than I’d have anticipated but the place has a good reputation and this island is on the higher end in general, so it’s about what one should expect. So I’d say worth a visit! We left full and comforted by the good eats

I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. There are much better restaurants out there. Most of their menu is deep fried food — Maybe it's for people who like deep fried food?... The fish wasn't fresh and the fish tacos were disgusting... Felt like a kid had heated "fish strips" in the microwave and tossed them in a pita bread with lettuce and mayo. They are definitely not real Mexican tacos 🌮 The ceviche was "ok" but nothing out of this world. & We couldn't finish the "mariscos soup" as it tasted like old fish 🐟 I don't recommend eating here.

Local and fresh food. The device was delicious such as the cocktail of shrimps. Portions are super good with the prices. Service was very kind and fast.

On Holbox's shores, I found my fate, Ceviche so fresh, I had to wait! With mezcalitas, smooth and strong, I thought I’d be tipsy all day long. But it’s worth it, every bite, This seafood spot's pure delight!

Great beach restaurant. Our water taxi driver recommended it. It's not so peicey and it's original and typical. The fried fish and the ceviche were delicious. Buen restaurante playero. Nuestro playero lo recomendó. No está tan caro y es típico y original. El pescado frito y el ceviche estaban buenoísimos.

We came back here three times for lunch. A great spot off the beach for a delicious lunch. Would recommend the garlic grilled fish and the ceviche. Both are amazing and large enough to feed two people. Also get a michelada.

They have live music, and the shrimp cocktail was was seasoned. The waiters are nice, and therefore a good place to stay.. nevertheless I think it’s overpriced. They don’t accept card though.
