Holbox

Los Angeles, US

• No.42 North America's 50 Best Restaurants 2025

Set within the bustling cultural food hall Mercado La Paloma, Holbox marries quality seafood with a relaxed, communal approach to dining. A tribute to Mexico's coastal flavours, the restaurant is anchored by a lively seafood counter displaying raw oysters, freshly plated ceviches and the catch of the day. The vibe is warm and approachable, with shared tables, relaxed counter service and a takeaway menu running from Tuesday to Friday. Tacos, tostadas, ceviches and aguachiles are made with responsibly sourced seafood – think scallops in a house-made tomato cocktail sauce or briny sea urchin served in its spiky shell. Maine lobster goes straight from the tank to the wood‑fired grill before landing beside heirloom corn tortillas from a specialty tortilleria next door. For a treat, visit on a Wednesday or Thursday for the viral eight‑course tasting menu. Book ahead – tickets often sell out.
