El Chapulím

Top choice in Isla Holbox


El Chapulím has no menu and the kitchen closes when the food runs out – usually before 9pm – so come here aware of the quirks involved. Food is excellent, and chef Erik comes to your table personally. This may be the only place in Holbox where you can depend on lobster to be worth the pretty price tag. Cash only.
