“The smoked kanpachi and scallop tacos have great flavor and are tender.”

Amy Kim★★★★★

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

TL;DR: Worth the hype, the line, and possibly a small emotional commitment. We finally made it to Holbox this past weekend, and wow—consider us officially late to the party and very glad we showed up. We rolled up to Mercado La Paloma around 6:30 pm on a Friday, mentally preparing for a “stand here and question your life choices” kind of line… but plot twist: it moved fast! We were inside in about 15 minutes, which was just enough time to stare intensely at the menu and pretend we’re decisive people. We went all in and ordered Scallop Aguachile, Bluefin Tuna Tostadas, Baja Fish Tacos, Grille

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,

Place had a long line that it deserved. We had the branzino and cooked octopus for seniors...both loved them. Good serving size. Sauce on cooked octopus was yummy. Myself inhad the crevice del pulpo...it was just okay. Wasn't the best octopus I've had. But what I did love was the scallop inside our sea urchin- that was a burst of happiness inside my mouth. Would love to come back to try their scallop ceviche next time. The cooked scallop taco was alright and the octopus taco was alright. We also got thr aguachile with scallop and shrimp...boys liked it; I wasn't a huge fan. Also had the
