La Barracuda — Restaurant in Isla Holbox

Absolutely superb restaurant. Recommended by our hotel for the place to go for fresh fish/seafood.

Amazing service. Clean. Does not look flash from outside, but as always, looks deceiving - don’t let it put you off!

The food was simply incredible. Fresh, tasty and well presented. We had the fillet of fish (catch of the day) and fresh prawns (was told better than octopus by server - really great advice). Lovely complementary starting soup (tomato and fish). We paired mains with guacamole, which was nice and not too crushed. Made a very large meal, would suggest too much usually, but hungry from a long trip, so it all went. Seems all dishes served with tacos and nachos.

Had margaritas for drinks which are again, delicious.

Thanks for great lunch. We will be back....

I asked three locals for the best tostadas on the island. All three of them said 'la Barracuda'. One of those locals had lived there for 30 years and told me that place had stayed good for as long as he can remember. The place is a quaint, cozy place close to a corner. There are a few chairs inside, but the best one are two small red Coca-Cola chairs next to the road. I had the seafood soup and two tostadas. All three of those things were great.

Our waiter was a young boy named Jesus. That guy knows his fish, and every recommendation he gave me about the dishes and the island was top-notch. So, listen to Jesus,...

Heard so many good things about this spot!! My friend got a big old life changing plate of calamar al ajillo (would rate a 5), the other got another massive plate of the calamar frito (would rate a 4 - a bit chewy but she really liked it and would get again) and after so much seafood I really just fancied a pasta arrabiata (was tasty enough but nothing special, however it did taste like it had chipotle chiles in which was a really nice interesting flavour, probably give it a 3 or 4!). Would love to come back for some more seafood!!

Defs recommend...
