While strolling through town for a place to eat, we came across this little restaurant in the “mall” located across from the movie theater on the second level and thought “fantastic sushi in a fish mecca”. Sadly we were disappointed and if you are a sushi lover like we are, then you will most likely be disappointed too. The fish... More

This place gets an "A" for effort, but why go to Holbox for Japanese fare? Of course it's not authentic, and beware the packets of ramen viewable behind the bar. But the staff is exceedingly friendly, and who can blame them for their efforts at some cosmopolitan flare. For a genuine and affordable meal that even the locals enjoy, try... More

We got several rolls and a sashimi appetizer. The place bills itself as asian fusion and they're absolutely right: lots of cheese or cream cheese in the sushi rolls. Rice wasn't seasoned w/vineger, which is the whole point of sushi. But if you go, order the white fish sashimi: they put a bit of citrus and a good glug of... More

Great food. The owner help us since we were first timers. The brownie dessert is excellent. I think we will go back and have a couple more!!

Seriously! An excellent rating? I don't think so. I don't claim to be a foodie or an expert on food but I know good food. I rate it by it's quality, taste and value. This place doesn't have any of that. If you're expecting sashimi, tartar or nigiri this is not the place. In fact if you're expecting anything good... More

Very good sushi with fresh fish from the Island. Friendly and personal service, and they have the best cocktails on the Island. Try their Mojito or coconut daquiry. Amazing!

We stayed on Isla Holbox for 2 weeks and we ate at most of the restaurants on the Island. This was by far and away the best place we had the pleasure of eating at. The sushi was so fresh and tasty and the service was a perfect. If you only eat at one restaurant on Holbox make sure you... More

Great Sushi in the middle of this Mexican Fishing Village. Great location right in the middle of town, in the new business plaza. While the food and the ambiance are great the best part about El Sushi is the drinks. There is a huge selection and they are all very tasty, I highly recommend El Sushi.
