About
Named after the whale shark that made Holbox famous, this lively cantina doubles as a community gathering spot with long communal tables, mezcal flights, and a menu of Yucatecan-influenced plates — poc chuc, panuchos, salbutes — alongside the expected seafood. Weekend evenings feature live son jarocho and cumbia that spills into the street. One of the few restaurants on the island serving food past midnight.
