All the seafood = super fresh. I don't even like mussels much but the ones they used in the seafood soup were great. We all loved the tacos, tostadas, and ceviche. The scallop aquachile was excellent as well. Would definitely come back again. I recommend you visit on a weekday rather than a weekend.

Incredible meal all around!! Everything was extremely fresh. Tuna ceviche was nice and bright, and scallops were very sweet and in a delicious spicy lime broth. Branzino was grilled nicely and stuffed with onions and lemons. The rice and beans on the side were also great and came with warm blue corn tortillas, which made for some great tacos. Octopus tacos were the standout of the meal. The meat was extremely tender and on a bed of tomatoes and grilled onions, which were very sweet and smoky. I probably could’ve had five more of those. There are four self-serve salsas, which were all very good. The white one is delicious but sooooo spicy!!! We got there around 10:45 AM on a Saturday and were maybe the 15th party in line. Would recommend getting there pretty early, as the line started picking up around 11 and wrapped around the corner. Holbox is located inside a food hall, so there is lots of seating (outdoor seating as well), and service is fast.

everything was good- nothing blew my mind 😩 i think a huge reason of that was because the staff didn’t tell us about their hot sauces they had in another area and we discovered them only whenever we had finished all of our food. this food was probably designed for a more delicate palate than mine- i missed the bold spicy flavors that the hot sauces would have provided for the food. everything was a little bland for me, even if the fish quality was excellent. could have used more limes for everything- so if you’re getting ceviche or any of the tostadas or the tacos, try asking for more limes, and UTILIZE THEIR HOT SAUCES!! tortillas are excellent. churros are also a must get. all in all, not a bad experience, just wish we had known about the hot sauces so we could have elevated our dining experience.

A long wait, but well worth the price. This spot has to be one of the best spots in LA. Their tacos were so so good. We tried all of them and all of them were fantastic. We also got their ceviche and it was even better. Really enjoyed the different hot salsa options as well. The tostada was a great crunch and another great option. Def a must try! The line goes by at a good pace.

This was definitely an experience. As someone not from the West Coast, driving into the area felt a little unexpected for a Michelin-recognized spot. It’s tucked inside a food hall with minimal signage, so just look for the line on the right when you walk in. I went on a weekday about an hour before closing, so the wait was pretty minimal. The menu is so good it’s hard to choose, so I didn’t. I ordered one of each type of dish. Tacos (the kanpachi taco was the standout), tuna tostada, scallop aguachile, yellowtail ceviche, coctel de camarón, and sea urchin. The uni wasn’t for me, and just a heads up, it’s served very fresh, like still moving when it hits the table. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and well executed. It felt authentic without trying too hard, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and the whole process ran smoothly, even in a busy food hall setting.
