We really appreciated the interior design, the delicious cocktails and the fusion cuisine.
Unfortunately the waiter dis value our experience in deciding his own tip ... At least as European, we are not used to this way of imposing, The management has to correct this !

Cute island decor in an airy space. Friendly service, food is decent but feels overpriced.
What we liked:
- Oaxaca cheese wrapped in hoja santa leaf is a fun starter
- Braised pork belly with curry sauce is a refreshing pairing
Average:
- Lobster was a tad overcooked (meat was stuck to shell), while the side of vegetables felt like an afterthought (sweet potatoes were undercooked)
- Cocktails were tasty but too sweet (even without sugar) and weak in alcohol
Misses:
- Creme brûlée was way too sweet and did not have enough caramelization on top
Overall a lively vibe but execution could be better given how much they are charging.

The vibes here are immaculate. Every cocktail is carefully and thoughtfully crafted and the waitstaff is super friendly and knowledgable. Ralph & Orlando are the OGs. A must visit when in Holbox.0

Really delicious food and a beautiful restaurant. Great service. However it’s VERY expensive, the most I’ve seen on my Mexico holiday. Charging $140 (plus tip) for a bottle of still water, when this is provided for free in most restaurants, is ridiculous.

Thought this place was going to be all flair and no substance, but we were wrong! From the moment we were seated, the staff and food were outstanding. Vegetarian options too. Highly recommend!

Beautiful ambiance, breezy island vibes. Beachy chic. Delicious, interesting food. Tasty drinks. Our server Otto was great.
My favorites were the fresh tuna and the catch of the day (grouper for us).
I really loved the flavors of the grilled picanha, but wish the medium rare were more tender.
We had a great time at Basico. The food was delicious and the service was even better. Gerardo was hilarious and made us feel super welcome. My wife had the seafood amatriciana which was excellent and my grilled octopus was spectacular. The star though was the cochinita appetizer. Highly recommend and hopefully you get Gerardo as your waiter.

Loved this place. Delicious food and cocktails, friendly staff and great ambience. The food is a modern twist on Mexican and international dishes. All flavours worked well, the ingredients were fresh and the food was very nicely presented. Beautiful decor and great music selection in the restaurant. Love it!

The place has a very cool vibe and it’s well decorated so for drinks and spending some time is nice but the food wasn’t good. It’s an overpriced placed for the quality of the food. Lacking flavor overall. Because of the high rating on Google we had high expectations but totally disappointing. We ordered the plantain croquette and it was just ok. Hoping the main dish was going to be better, we ordered the picanha and octopus. The Picanha’s flavor was totally bland; the Octopus on the other hand, had a very overwhelming Tamarind sauce that barely let you taste the octopus. Carrots on the grilled veggies were undercooked. Also, the food took forever to be done. The only good thing of our dinner, was our waiter, he was very attentive and checking on us, but we would definitely not come back for dinner.

Awesome vibe, waiters are great, speak phenomenal English as well, make great recommendations on food and drinks, which are also delicious. Slightly pricy, but they take visa/MC which is nice.
