Holbox restaurants and food delivery

Uber Eats, Rappi and DiDi Food do not operate in Holbox; until now, delivery meant calling or messaging each restaurant on WhatsApp. With Holbox Go you order from island restaurants with their real menu and prices in pesos, delivered by bike, cart or on foot to your hotel, house or the beach. You pay by card or in cash and follow your order live.

How people order food in Holbox

Many island restaurants take orders by phone or WhatsApp and some deliver with their own rider. It works, but each one has its own number, hours and payment options, and they do not always deliver outside the centre.

There are few ATMs on the island and not every business takes cards, so carry some cash.

  • Real menu with photos and prices in pesos, VAT included.
  • Delivery to your hotel, house or the beach, by bike, cart or on foot.
  • You see the delivery time and fee before you order.
  • Pay by card or in cash; no account, just your email.

What to eat in Holbox

Holbox is a fishing town: fresh fish and seafood, ceviche, tacos and the famous lobster pizza. There are also bakeries, breakfast cafés and Yucatecan cooking.

Mexican Caribbean lobster has a closed season from 1 March to 30 June so it can breed. In those months, ask where the lobster comes from or pick another dish: it is an easy way to protect the island fishery.

Ordering to the beach

You can mark the spot on the beach where you are on the map. Riders go as far as the roads go; in protected areas they deliver to the nearest point. Please do not leave packaging on the sand.

Prices and times are approximate and change with the season and weather. Check them before you travel.
