About

El Tikin Xic takes its name from the Mayan technique of achiote-marinated fish wrapped in banana leaf and slow-cooked over coals, and that dish alone is worth the trip across the lagoon. Owned by a Valladolid family that relocated to Holbox two generations ago, the restaurant blends peninsula traditions with fresh island seafood in a dining room painted in bright ochres and blues. Kids eat free on Sundays.
