Tucked away near the shore, this gem of a restaurant captures the essence of cozy beachside vibes with a touch of elegance. Think soft string lights, warm ocean breezes, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that invites you to linger. The staff are super nice, helped explain the menu to us and recommended wine pairings, Gerardo and Rodrigo were awesome. The wood fire grill sets the tone — smoky, comforting, and full of promise. We started with the Argentinian empanadas: golden, crisp edges with fillings that melted in your mouth, kissed by the fire. But the star? The beef tenderloin for two. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender, each bite packed with bold, rich flavor — simple yet unforgettable. It’s encapsulated with salt and rosemary and cooked to perfection. Every detail, from the thoughtful plating to the attentive but laid-back service, made the experience feel special without trying too hard. Fresh, unique, and absolutely delicious — we’ll be dreaming of this place long after the tide rolls out. Every time we’ve gone back to Holbox, Parador 33 is a must visit for us! Pato and his staff make this experience unforgettable. We look forward to returning soon!

I loved this restaurant so much I came back twice during my stay! The empanadas are a must try, I also had the pasta and the pizza which were both very good. The atmosphere is unmatched and the service was great.

Parador 33 is the best Argentinian restaurant I have ever visited! It truly lives up to its reviews. The owner is very friendly and personable, and they were able to accommodate our party of four at the last minute since we wanted to try dinner there. The food was delicious; we started with the octopus carpaccio, which was incredibly good. The wine was excellent, and the ambiance was charming, featuring a wood-fired oven right outside where we could see all the food being prepared. The peppered steak was to die for, and the sauce paired perfectly with the potatoes. All of our dishes, including the chocolate mousse cake for dessert, were outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant for its atmosphere, food, and service. A special thank you to our wonderful server, Milagros, for her attentiveness. By far, this is the best restaurant on the entire island, and we ranked it as our number one choice!

Walking by it during the day when it's not open you wouldn't assume much about this place. However in the evening it's a hopping place! Amazing food (special of the day when we walked by caught our eye, lobster with saffron risotto ), and the chef/owner was kind enough to personally cook an onion free fish dish for my lady who's allergic (tough to find here in MX). Service staff was spot on with everything (I'm a server in the US at a fine dining establishment) and I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

This is the best place we've eaten at when in Holbox for 4 days. Service, food, wine, everything was excellent. The Argentine steak and carpaccio are probably one of the best I've ever eaten.

It was such a great experience. I saw the place when we first came to the island but I kind of had doubt first. Yesterday we went there and the cocktails were amazing. Their octopus carpaccio, empanadas and the Lomb steak I ordered were super delicious. They can be a little bit more creative for the dessert though. Kudos go to the Argentinian girl as she allowed me to practice my Spanish. Also our special guest was super lovely.

Great place and highly recommended. We came here two nights in a row, which is pretty unusual for us. Lobster croquettes were excellent, but the star of the show was the signature steak for two. Great cut of meat and zero of it went to waste. Ours came out a little more rare than ordered, but the cut of meat was so good, it wasn't an issue at all but you might want to keep that in mind when ordering. When we were there, they did not open until 7 vs the 6pm that google has posted. Make a reservation just to be safe, this place fills up!
