We came to Holbox right at noon and ended up waiting about an hour, but it was worth it. The prices…read morefelt very reasonable considering the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The tuna & uni tostada was the standout. The tuna had the perfect balance of acidity, and the uni on top added just the right amount of richness. Every bite had so much going on without feeling too heavy. The ceviche was incredibly fresh and bright. The octopus taco was another favorite. The octopus was so tender with no chewiness, it was cooked perfectly. We also tried the aguachile, which was really good, but the tuna dishes stood out to me so much more. Overall, such a great menu with really high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. There are so many other things I want to try, so I'll definitely be coming back!

Holbox has been on my list of places to try for a long time. We finally decided to come on a Sunday…read moremorning. We arrived as they're opening and there was already a long line out the door. The staff were wonderful and offered everyone umbrellas so we can wait in the shade. Be prepared because the wait is LONG, we probably waited 45 minutes before getting in the building, then you wait a bit longer to order. Patience definitely pays off because the food was absolutely delicious! We started with a huge bowl of creamy guacamole, it was well seasoned and great but we ran out of chips. My uni and bay scallop ceviche was super fresh, the seafood tasted so sweet and was paired with the perfect amount of citrus and creamy sauce to tie everything together without overpowering the seafood flavors. I also tried a bite of the kanpachi tostada and that was wonderful too! Everything they made highlighted the seafood so well. I didn't get a chance to try everything we ordered but we all loved every dish we tried. Definitely check this place out if you love seafood, but I'd recommend coming either on a weekday or really early to avoid the crowd. There are a few parking spots available outside and street parking as well so it's pretty convenient.

The drive there was a bit iffy due to location but surprisingly the street that the restaurant is on was clean and felt pretty safe! I chose to park on the street but I'd advise to valet ($15) for safety purposes. We walked into a concrete built up newish area that had a brewery and another Michelin rated restaurant across the courtyard. The entire area was inviting! The restaurant felt like we took a dinner vacation to Cabo which was recipe for a relaxing evening! We ordered from the restaurant week menu which for us consisted of Ceviche, Guac w/delicious fresh tortilla fresh chips, whipped beans, snapper, bbq chicken, empanadas and basque cheesecake. All were great!.. we just wanted a larger portion of everything! I'd recommend and will definitely go again! I love restaurant week!

The bartender was friendly, and my spouse and I really enjoyed stopping in for a drink before heading to dinner. The vibe is relaxed with a Latino influence, and I especially liked the open-air setting. We're definitely spoiled with the weather here in Southern California. They do serve food, but since we already had dinner plans, we didn't try any of it. So this review is strictly based on our experience stopping in for drinks.

Everything was seasoned beautifully and cooked to perfection. The fish and oysters were fresh and the drinks were damn good. We also got the charred skirt steak with papas, and it was super tender and delicious. Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a pic because we devoured it so fast. My only tiny critique is that the Kona Kanpachi could've used a little more flavor, but the fish was so fresh and vibrant that I didn't mind. Our server, Denise was super attentive and full of great recommendations! This was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. I'll absolutely be back. Chef's kiss!!

My family and I decided to stop by Encanto Restaurant while in the area. We took a rideshare there…read more The restaurant is nice. It's has a large bar area with natural light that comes in through the windows. They also have a lot of seating. When we walked in we were greeted right away by the host. He asked if we had reservations. We replied with a no. He took a few minutes and the said that he could seat us. He took us to a booth in the corner and then told us that our waiter would be taking care of us soon. He asked us if we wanted anything to drink. We told him water and he brought us some water fairly quickly. Then another person showed up and he told us that they would take care of us the rest of the evening. Our waiter was very friendly and did an excellent job all evening. After looking at the menu we decided what we wanted. We started with the guacamole chips and salsa. The chips were okay. They were lightly seasoned with salt. The guacamole was fresh and the salsas were tasty. I preferred the green salsa as the red salsa was spicier. For my main meal I ordered the Quesadilla filled with skirt steak, pico, avocado, salsa, and crema. The quesadilla was delicious. I've never had a quesadilla like this. It was rolled up and looked like an egg roll. The steak was very tasty with a lot of flavor and the other ingredients were fresh. It was so good. For my side I ordered the rice and beans. The beans were good and had flavor. The rice was perfectly cooked. Combined the rice and beans had flavor and were very filling. Overall Encanto was a very nice restaurant. The bar area is large, the seating was comfortable, the service was very good and the food was delicious.

The outdoor seating was great for a warm evening. Afterwards we walked along the beach ending a perfect date night. Quick tip: there's self/valet parking right next to the restaurant so it super convenient. Happy eating!

We went with the cheese bread and the mixed plate. You could have fed 4 grown men. This is where you appreciate true to ethnicity food. No messing...no pretending and no nonsense. I don't think I could have bought the ingredients, seasoned and cooked this for any less than what we paid. The table next to us ordered the fried fish...as full as I was...I wanted to taste that fish. La Finda Antioquena, thank you for a great experience. We will recommend this place and WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

The woman (Sandra) who came up to our table was to ask us to move to a smaller table. Mind you we sat there so we could watch the World Cup game as we waited and ate. She was so rude about it!!!

I liked one of the empanadas but they have a different name, other than that their food was bland tasteless. I came here with a Colombian friend who wanted to try Colombian food in LA she liked her plate but it was the most simple thing you could order, steak rice and beans. Would never go back here ever... oh also the place was filthy they should keep their tables and floors clean come on.

The hostess welcomed us and although last call was approaching & a huge party was being hosted that evening, she sat us promptly and Diana, our server never made us feel rushed at all. Also, thank you to hostess for being flexible with seating us in their outside patio that had a cute ambiance. Diana and Sandra were so welcoming with their energy. Diana was very thorough when explaining the menu, which I appreciated since it was my first time dining. Although there was a large party, the food came out pretty quickly considering how busy they were. We got the skirt steak - gaucho style with ceasar salad, gaucho rice & veggies.

I'm not sure how involved the owner is with the staff, but they should know that the way customers are treated is hurting the business. This wasn't just a one-time bad experience either. I've dealt with rude service here more than once. The last time I went in, I was the only customer there and was told it would be a 55-minute wait for half a chicken. When I questioned the wait, the woman working there said to me in Spanish, "¿Pa' qué viniste pues, si no quieres esperar?" Basically, "Why did you come then if you don't want to wait?" At that point I just walked away in the middle of ordering. There is absolutely no reason to speak to a paying customer that way. It's a shame because the food is good, but the customer service makes you not want to come back.

Got here about an hour before closing so the Mercado had a chill vibe in general and the lines were pretty short... So of course I took advantage of getting food items from a couple of locations! I specifically wanted the squash blossom quesadilla or quesadilla de Flor de Calabaza from Komal and the Tostada de Kanpachi + Uni from Holbox.... wow. I just felt so spoiled with so much delicious food available to me... and with little to no wait on anything! As expected, both the tostada and the quesadilla were fantastic and oh so aesthetically pleasing. I wish my stomach or appetite was bigger. I really do want to try some of the other spots that don't get featured as much... I guess there's next time. Always a treat when visiting the Mercado. Especially when there is a possibility of grabbing a lot of different high-quality bites at different places for the same meal. Because it was on the later side on a Sunday, parking in the lot was pretty easy to find.
