I went to the tasting menu recently and I actually found the meal a bit too overpowering! just soo much food it all started to blend together a little… I agree the warm dishes were strong but I honestly think someone can just order their regular tacos and seafood stew etc and have just as wonderful experience. remarkable crab taco though!
I probably wouldn’t do the tasting again, BUT this is still probably the best seafood place in LA. Just after the reviews I didn’t feel emotional just a little bloated and dazed haha.

I feel this way about most TM’s. Probably repeating myself/getting on my soapbox again, so apologies, but it drives me nuts that TM’s are pretty much the norm for high-end dining. I get why the restaurants want/need to control their costs/labor but it’s not for me.

I love prix fixe but (with the exception of sushi omakase) not a long series of canape-size dishes a la Thomas Keller. I’d rather have an old-fashioned menu dégustation with maybe six courses.

This is my fear and why I haven’t pulled the trigger on the TM even though Holbox is my favorite seafood spot. I can eat a lot in a day but not in one sitting - that’s when it becomes an endurance sport for me. I am curious about the items that aren’t on the regular menu though.

I found the meal on the light side for a tasting menu.

I would love a lighter tasting menu. But do not dine without wine and they do not have a license! It really kills me. I might just bite the bullet for research purpose and go! Like I did for Soban.

I keep thinking a full-bodied sake would be great with Holbox dishes.

pro tip, if there’s an open seat at the bar you can sit down and they’ll come around and take your order.
