Restaurante Bar and Grill Viva Zapata Isla Holbox

Fish and vegetables were veeeeery good. Definitely reccomeded. We ordered one entire Fish on the grill, veggy & salad + 2 glassesof wine and water. What I also really appreciated, was that I asked for bread instead of tacos and they brought it even warme up.

Great place to visit for fish and seafood in the town centre. It does have a touristy vibe and the food we had was quite good. It was also recommended on a number of occasions when we spoke to locals, which is a plus! We tried the fish and seafood platter for 2 which was delicious, along with the seafood pasta, and their Zapata Margaritas which were equally tasty. The second time we visited, we wanted a large fish which was brought raw to our table to ensure we're happy prior to cooking, which was a good gesture. We also opted for the seafood soup which was more like a stew however it was tasty, along with some grilled vegetables. Service was good and smiley as well. We were able to pay by card both times with no issues.

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. 😀

A good option on the island with fresh, local dishes. I recommend trying the fish plates — they seemed to be the best. Unfortunately, we weren’t very lucky with the service: they forgot our cocktails and one of the dishes we ordered.

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!

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.

Baltazar demonstrated outstanding professionalism in food service, and the restaurant is most highly recommended

We had our final meal of our trip here. Almost got the mixed grille but decided against because of the accompanying salad etc didn't entice us. Ended up with the pasta in white wine cream sauce and shrimp. Shrimp was generous and dish was simple. We had queso which we added pico to, and it was the best pico I've had, maybe ever. Queso served traditional with corn tortillas, but we requested chips also. Maracuyá mojito cocktail was great but small. WiFi was non operational and QR code with menus went to a gambling website? Overall good experience and good service. This place will deliver a solid meal but no bells or whistles.
