Had a great meal here! Ceviche (campesino) only got better with each bite - I was not super impressed with my first but then couldn’t stop devouring it. Nice totopos too and salsa picante. Friendly staff! Very filling too.

There’s an old German saying that love goes through the stomach — and at Ceviches La Chingada on Holbox Island, that sentiment comes vividly to life. Every dish served here, especially the signature ceviche, feels like a declaration of affection — sincere, intimate, and unforgettable. Tucked away in a quiet courtyard lush with greenery, this tiny, family-run eatery offers just a handful of tables. The setting is simple yet full of charm, designed with the kind of understated care that immediately makes guests feel at home. In the open kitchen — a feature that has become a hallmark of fine dining around the world — every detail of the preparation unfolds in plain view. But unlike the bustling brigades of chefs and sous-chefs found in upscale restaurants, here there is only one person: the owner. She alone cooks, serves, and hosts. And while her food is remarkable, it is her presence as a hostess that defines the experience. Her warmth and quiet confidence fill the space, turning a meal into something more personal — an act of hospitality in its purest form. Each plate carries the imprint of her devotion: the freshness of the ingredients, the balance of flavors, the elegance in simplicity. What lingers is not only the taste but also the unmistakable sense of pride and love that she pours into her craft. Dining at Ceviches La Chingada isn’t just about eating well; it’s about being reminded that food, at its best, is a conversation between care and joy.

Authentic. Tasty. Friendly. (I even got some anti mosquito spray offered). Reasonably priced. Can recommend the food. Aguachile was like I have never had before 😍

You'll find that the blogs, reviews and local recommendations didn't lie. Delicious selection of Ceviches and tacos to melt in your mouth. Located less than 5 mins walk from the Holbox letters at the beach. We had the Verduras Asadas, Calamari, mixed ceviche, fish tempura tacos and shrimp quesadillas. We drank a watermelon juice and a strawberry juice, which came in a very big glass. We loved the simple island atmosphere which had nothing pretentious about it, and the smiley service. They made everything from scratch, therefore it took a while until we got served. We attempted to go again for dinner on our last night, around 8:20pm however they were full and then closing around 9pm so we were not lucky, so you might not want to leave it until last minute.

Wonderful nachos with shrimp and melted cheese! We have been at this place last year for the first time and I literally dreamed about the nachos for the rest of the year! The tempura shrimp tacos were also duper tasty, with fresh salad and avocado on top.

Amazing and fresh food and drinks. We went to this placed based on a review we read. And we were not disappointed! The Ceviche was super fast and the fish tacos were out of this world! We ordered a juice and an iced juice and both were fresh, made when ordered and tasted amazing. Staff were incredible. Only issue is that we want to try other restaurants too, but nothing lives up to this place! So going back today and tomorrow!!

By far my favourite meal I had on the island. It was so good I went back again. The fish tacos were awesome. The breaded fish fillet was fantastic too. My only regret was not trying the guac. You must eat here.! The staff were very friendly, attentive and all round fantastic.

Excellent ceviches in a natural surrounding with the typical sand floor of Holbox. The owner is very friendly and professional.

This place's food is amazing I definitely recommend the ceviche it is the best ceviche I have had in my life. The quesadillas were a bit greasy for my liking. Overall this place is very good. I came to Mexico to become a Mayan but I found myself chilling on the beach

The food here is really good and has great flavors, but the amount you get is small and the prices are high. It's a good place to try for something different, but it's also a good idea to consider other places where you might get more food for your money.

Good fish tacos but there are better in Holbox. 180 pesos for 3 tacos. Nice outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Nothing else to say.
