“ The best place in Holbox! The quesabirrias were the best thing I ate during my 3 weeks in Mexico, visiting different cities. Martina and Camila were wonderful at service and preparing our delicious mezcalitas. Hightly recommend this place if you're also a foodie and want a chill place to grab your drinks and food at night with a nice atmosphere. ”
“ Was craving for some birrias and horchata and this place really hit the spot! The birrias, though quite small in size, had a very generous filling. Each bite felt like it could fill you up. The horchata they had was coconut horchata which was quite different compared to the ones I've had in Mexico, but not bad nonetheless. I also really loved the guacamole, it was addicting and I wouldn't mind having that one just for myself. ”
“ Hands down the best tacos we have ever had (and we have had many). The birria consume was incredible, we tried almost every taco on the menu and they were all delicious. We had a restaurant booked the following night and cancelled it so we could come back here one more time before going home. The staff were lovely. Just eat here, or you are missing out. ”
