FAQ

What is a typical restaurant meal price on Holbox?
Breakfast MXN 150-250 pp. Lunch MXN 200-400 pp. Dinner at a mid-range restaurant MXN 350-650 pp (one plate + drink). Seafood specials and beachfront restaurants run MXN 500-900. Beach clubs charge a minimum consumption to use loungers (usually MXN 400-700/person).
Is tipping expected?
10-15% is standard and often added automatically to the bill at tourist-facing restaurants (look for "propina" or "servicio" as a line item). If it's already on the bill, you don't need to add more.
Can I pay with a card?
Most mid-range and upscale restaurants accept Visa/Mastercard. Small taquerías, carts, and beach-shack places are cash only. Bring MXN — some places add a 3-5% card surcharge and dynamic currency conversion is almost always a bad deal.
Do I need reservations?
High season (Dec-Apr, Jul-Aug): yes for dinner at anywhere highly-rated. Walk-up for breakfast and lunch is usually fine. Off-season: walk-ups work for most places even on weekends.
Is Holbox good for vegans / vegetarians?
Better than you'd expect. Most restaurants have at least 2-3 vegetarian plates and several places specialize (search "vegan" in the directory below). Fresh seafood is the star but produce is good and Mexican staples (frijoles, verduras, nopales) are everywhere.
What's "lobster pizza"?
A Holbox specialty — a wood-fired pizza topped with grilled lobster chunks. Several restaurants in town make it; MXN 450-750 depending on size. More hype than substance for some tastes but worth trying once.
