Restaurante Bar and Grill Viva Zapata Isla Holbox

We joined for dinner on Superbowl Sunday in Holbox. We had previously walked by in days prior, and it was more so quiet. But this night it was crowded in the "bar area". We sat in the back, and there were several big screens to see. Walking passed the grill to our seats, we saw some butterflied fish grilling. It looked and smelled delicious. We ordered that (1 peso per gram) to share along with a grilled green onion appetizer. The fish was flavorless and disappointing. The grilled onions were... well, grilled onions. We also ordered a green salad. It was solid. There was a good vibe, probably enhanced by Superbowl Sunday crowd. The most disappointing thing was the Service. The waiter was grumpy with a bit of saltiness. I get that it's a job. I've had similar many times. But, smile, dude.. be happy... be positive .. that's part of the job requirement. If it's not, your manager wrote the wrong job description. You don't work in the factory punching out widgets. You work with people. 😀

The pictures on Google maps don’t do this place justice, it’s great!! The murals on the walls, the setup of the restaurant and the food! Everything was amazing. Well, my chicken fajitas, were pretty good, the shrimp were better. It’s definitely a great spot to enjoy a sit down dinner or post up at the bar. I loved the fresh made tortillas and the drinks were fabulous.

Nice place to eat. Food was very delicious. Good quality and big portions. Service was fast, attentive and friendly. We had Fajitas pollo, quesadillas mit beef and grilled vegetables. Guacamole with chips was very tasty. (Maybe to small portion for the price) The hot sauce (yellow one) is really good!

Ristorante Viva Zapata offers a truly exceptional dining experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a very friendly and professional staff. Isaac, who looked after us throughout the evening, was particularly kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and responding to our every request with a smile. The menu is varied, offering a great selection of both meat and fish dishes to suit all tastes. Every dish we tried was truly outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant for its excellent food, warm atmosphere, and impeccable service.

Food was fresh & delicious, and the service was excellent! Diego made the best tasting drinks🍹We will eat here again!

Definitely take the Mexican food here. We had a pasta carbonara and grilled chicken. The chicken was okay but the pasta was sadly not very good. Overall good atmosphere with some live music.

We can definitely recommend Viva Zapata! We were here numerous times during our stay in Holox! The Food is very good and so is the Service! The Nachos, Tacos and Fajitas were the best on the island! The whole Team is so nice - however we want to give a special shout out to Margarita! She was so sweet!

It is a very cozy Restaurant in the town center, with a big choice of fresh fish and some meats. Pastas are also great. I would recommend it for a great meal.
