We loves this place, true local Mexican experience with real fisherman cooking their catch - actually we saw the owner bringing it it in and then they grilled us the mixed grill, wonderful experience and the music here is amazing. If you want simple, real grilled fish & seafood without all the frills/sauces this is the place... Actually we asked... More

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious seafood platter at Viva Zapata Grill in Isla Holbox in April. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely return there especially if there continues to be live music.

Live music and a good grill! We had the big seefood grill for two and it was great. Staff was very friendly and they even ran across the street (to a supermarket) and bought icecream for our son. (they didn't have it on the meny).

Enjoyed the overall atmosphere. The wait staff was friendly. However, as the evening progressed and the restaurant became busier the service became a little slower. The food was ok. The grilled fish was good, the flank steak a little bit tough and the grilled pork gristly and no flavor.The live music was flat.

The location, a kind of tree covered garden, is nice to stay a couple of hours. A large team of friendly staff prepare the food on a BBQ and in a small kitchen on site. The food lacks fine spices, herbs and vegetables though. The live music was a disgrace on the night we were there, but that could be... More

Very friendly staff, superb cocktails, nice atmosphere with live music and good food! try a whole grilled fish, yum.

They do a good job of luring you in with their welcoming 'swings' bar and friendly vibe. Main dining area is round the back - bring bug spray (or wear shoes). Service slow, even by Mexican standards. Food was ok - we shared the 'surf & turf' platter, which (although billed for 2) wasn't a lot of food, comprising mainly... More
