Holbox is a must try for anyone who has even the slightest inclination for uni.The food at Holbox really is five stars but their food rating is four stars from me out of [maybe] no fault of their own.This entire market is alcohol-free.I am certain there will be more than a few who agree with me that a great ceviche really isn't that great without booze.

There's no surprise that they are on the michelín guide as the food was delicious and ridicously fresh. It is hands down the best seafood I've had in LA. The Mercado while small, is also welcoming and has enough food variety to please the entire family. There is plenty of seating, too.Parking: They have a small lot adjacent to the mercado, if it is full, there is street parking which at lunch time can be hard to find.

Incredible food at this Michelin guide eatery located inside Mercado Paloma, a layback space with half a dozen food places with common seating options. After some failed attempts I finally succeeded in going— does not open on Mondays.

So much fun, so much food, and so delicious. L.A. Times says best in L.A., we agree. Very fresh and yummy.
The service was terrific. The food was OK but extremely salty. I'm sure I can find Mexican seafood places that don't have Micheline stars that don't use as much salt for flavor LA. The open sitting atmosphere was nice, but I imagine that when it's busy people are standing on top of you waiting for a seat. I did notice that the food came out quickly, so grab a seat and then place your order.
This Michelin restaurant opens at 11:30AM and the queue is already long. The sea urchin ceviche ran out, so I got the kanpachi uni tostada instead. The umami and freshness of the kanpachi and uni feels like you took a bite of the ocean, but the fishy smile is contained by their special sauce that is mildly spicy. Very delicious, must try!

Scallop Aguachile: the first bite was the most exciting and intriguing first bite of my life. A must try in my opinion.The tostada was delicious. The octopus entree was also delicious. The two tacos we had were good but not my favorite.

Fantastic sea food in an unpretentious food court. Portions are generous. There are other options (Thai, Mexican) so this is great for causal group outings.

It’s overhyped. Pretty bland food but the seafood was all fresh. Shrimp tacos were good.
