Holbox is a seafood-focused restaurant in Mercado La Paloma serving fresh ceviches, grilled fish, and octopus tacos with bright, citrus-forward flavors. Standout dishes include the octopus tacos, branzino, scallop ceviche, and their various hot sauces—though note that the hot sauces are in a separate area and staff may not mention them, so ask. Expect a line, but reviewers say it moves quickly and the food justifies the wait.
