After reading all the reviews we just had to try Luuma. We showed up around 6:30 and were the only table. It started filling up quickly around 7. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about all menu items including craft cocktails. We went with her recommendations on cocktails and they were amazing. We had to get the Earth Board. It was enough for 2 people. The flavors of the duck, Argentinian sausages, and steaks made us both mmmmm after each bite. It also came with fried potatoes and a delicious salad. We finished the experience with tequila shot! Highly recommend.

Wow, this place is a must go on Holbox! The ambiance, the service, the food is all outstanding! We had a bunch of tapas to share and they were all delicious. Specific reviews below 1. Fish croquettes - definitely worth getting and we really enjoyed them 2. Shrimp empanada - really delicious and would get again 3. Octopus empanada - not as good as the shrimp one, and I love octopus, but will definitely eat again 4. Shrimp kebab - really good. It's not a kebab, but as the menu states, it's shrimp in a pita. It's got great flavor and would definitely order again 5. Basil and garlic chicharron - really good flavors if you like chicharron 6. Lamb taco - good but wouldn't necessarily order again personally All in all a terrific restaurant they my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to try on Holbox and would definitely go back again!

SO amazing. We ate here twice during our 5 day visit to Holbox! Probably the best (more upscale) dining on the island. The lamb tacos are unmatched and I loved the fish croquettes but the real highlight are their sharing boards- we had the Earth Board in our second night, which had probably the best duck I've ever had in my life. The drinks are awesome- we had cocktails our first night there and a bottle of great wine on our second night there. This place will be somewhere I go every time I'm in Holbox!

First time on island . We read the reviews and gave it a try. We arrived at 6:00 which is early ... we were greeted by a friendly host and promptly seated. The decor the vibe really gets you in the relax mode and this spot doesn't disappoint. Cocktails were on point unique and flavorful . The shrimp Empanadas, egg rolls , pancetta , fish croquettes all full of flavor and tasty. Presentation was so unique . Highly recommend this spot ... will return in the future. It was packed and a line when we left.

Cute tapas restaurant that only serves local products. Very unique menu & cocktails. Everything was delicious & the service was good.

One of our favorite dinners in Holbox. (Possibly number one for my wife.) We came and got six tapas: the lamb taco, octopus black empanada, spring rolls, pork pancetta, chaya croquettes, and the basil/garlic chicharron. The lamb taco was our favorite, but we really loved every dish. (I was originally skeptical of the spring rolls, but they were amazing too.) Always busy, and for good reason. My wife also loved her mezcal cocktail.

This place was recommended to us by another couple that was staying at the hotel. We had already been on the island for a couple of days and had not had any great meals until ...we came here. The food was so fresh and tasty. The cauliflower tacos were my favorite! They were crispy and light! And came inside of a freshly made tortilla topped with broccoli sprouts with this delectable aioli on the side. My bf loved the fish burger which was made of sea-bass and had this lovely sauce with grilled onions mixed with mustard seeds smeared on the bottom bun, it was overflowing with avocado and tomatoes and it tasted just divine. Highly recommend a lunch here!

This place is highly recommended by us. We had a great time and the service was very nice. The food was great as well. I recommend try Oanh all the smaller sampler foods. Finally the drinks are very unique and very tasty delicious.

Luuma is a higher-end dinner option with a connection to Hotel Casa las Tortugas. My husband and I had dinner there on the first and final nights of our recent five night vacation in Holbox. On the first night, we were each treated to a complimentary cocktail as part of our hotel welcome. The cocktails were straight from the menu; I had the mayahuel with mezcal while my husband had the midsummer with gin. Both were well balanced and delicious! The ambiance at Luuma is so pretty; it's open air seating with lots of twinkling lights, greenery and natural decor. Our service on both evenings was great. On both nights, we started with some of the small plates and finished with the whole fish. The small plates we tried were: fish croquettes, springrolls, shrimp empanada, and shrimp kebab. All were very nice! The whole fish was excellent on both evenings; well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, easy to de-bone and more than enough food for two people. The fish was served with tortillas and a generous side of fried potatoes, peppers and onions. The hot sauce provided on the side was perfect. Overall, a great place for a nice meal in a beautiful setting!

My husband and I are honeymooning on Isla holbox and have had the most wonderful time! We had walked past LUUMA on the first night and decided that we had to give it a try. We walked straight from the beach after sunset to grab a couple chairs at the bar. Knowing that it would be packed within an hour, we were feeling fortunate to have made that choice. The bartenders are so much fun to watch! Sitting at the bar gave us such a cool view of the entire restaurant. I drank wine and my husband had a few coladas. We shared some tapas that were wonderful! The pork was our favorite. Eating sustainably is important to us, so it was so nice that the ingredients were local and fresh. My only complaint and something that the staff should be more aware of is gluten sensitivities. For such a trendy spot, I thought there would be more knowledge about which items were safe for me to eat. TIP: My husband and I started to walk back to our hotel and the rain began. We remembered that over half of the restaurant is uncovered at LUUMA and was definitely getting rained on. Like a big rain! Keep that in mind when you are choosing your table. Rains can come and go on the island without much notice.

If your looking for quality fine dining, this is it! I tried duck for the first time here and actually liked it. Everything' I tried here was just a delicious experience. Very unique and delicious food!

Read some great reviews so I wanted to try this place for dinner with my family. The service was excellent as they explain everything to you even what Luuma meant (Luuma in mayan means earth). Anyhow, went there for dinner and I was very excited to see the beautiful decor, the music, and best of all they do tapas (so I get to try everything!). However,It was such a terrible experience because first the prices are out of this world for the quality of food you get, second the food was just bland and had zero flavor and third you can't see what you're eating. I did several tapas and one seafood bowl. Honestly, skip this place if you can. The food has zero taste but if you are there for just drinks and hanging out it's a 5 star.
