Raices Slow Food Restaurant in Isla Holbox is a Caribbean seafood spot with a relaxed vibe and a focus on fresh, local ingredients. With a change of location as of November 2024, it sits directly across from the Isla Holbox letters.

By day, it’s a casual hangout with cold cocktails, beach views, and mellow music. As the sun goes down, the setting leans romantic, but the focus remains the same on the generous plates of seafood, cooked to order, and packed with flavor. Raices specializes in freshly caught fish, as well as lobster, shrimp, crab, and octopus. The menu offers a mix of traditional and creative options including seafood tacos, skewers, ceviches, aguachiles, grilled shellfish, and pasta dishes. There are also options for non-seafood eaters, including chicken dishes, nachos, veggie plates, and burgers.

The open-air setup, laid-back pace, and consistently fresh seafood have earned Raices a great reputation, with friendly service.
