On the corner of Isla Holbox’s main square, Temoc Tacos and Mezcal delivers a dining experience that blends Mexican flavors with an appreciation for mezcal culture. With a menu that spans from street-style classics to creative taco combinations, Temoc has become a favorite for both visitors and locals looking for something memorable.

The tacos cover familiar ground with options like pastor, flank steak, and beef, but venture into more adventurous territory with premium fillings like shrimp, octopus, grasshopper, and sautéed gusano. Plant-based diners aren’t left behind, with inventive choices like hibiscus, veggie chorizo, and cauliflower. A cold bar offers fresh ceviches and aguachiles, while burgers, burritos, nachos, and rock shrimp round are also options. T

Temoc also lives up to its name with an extensive mezcal selection, with over 50 labels, alongside mezcalita cocktails and house creations. The space itself has tasteful décor, a warm atmosphere, and a corner location that’s ideal for people-watching or unwinding with friends. Live music often adds to the experience.
