I’ve been in the industry for 15 years managing, cooking, bartending, seeving. This is my definition of a true chef. There is a lot going on in that kitchen for a casual place and they’re doing volume. Well done.
I remember going in 2019 after the worth it video dropped (they won) and I was in the area so i decided to give it a try. Haven’t stopped going and never miss a birthday there. Without a doubt the best seafood you’ll ever find in Los Angeles.
Discovered this placed about a year ago by accident while on my way to a Lakers game. Was looking for a “somewhat” fast serving food place for a quick bite, to my surprise this place was plagued with multiple Michelline star awards and the prices were reasonable. This has become my wife’s and my best Mexican seafood spot!!! 😊 🌟 ❤
@@Upsidedownpopsicle no theyre not lol. just because youre broke doesnt mean everyone else. just because you cant afford a house doesnt mean no one else cant lol. the stock market is at all time highs. get some assets lil bub
I went before it got its Michelin star and it was phenomenal the tacos and the ceviche were so fresh and tasty the type of meal you eat with a smile on your face
I live in Santa Barbara and I go on business trips n LA twice a month and I always cruise thru that part of town and eat there!! La comida esta muy bueno, A mi me Gusta!!!! I'm a white guy raised here in SB with excellent Mexican American people who are great people and excellent cooks...
You probably have but didn't realize it! Lots of sushi is dry aged. Most, if not all the fish in any edomae omakase will be dry aged. And in LA specifically, many popular places dry age fish - Yang's Kitchen and Providence off the top of my head. The Joint in Sherman Oaks is actually a dry aged fish market.
Rikku's Godhand has gillionaire, Mimic's in Omega ruins or add ability/stats to armor/accessories and sell them, these are the 2 best ways I found to get loads of gil & I mean millions of gil.

And how his team is treated behind-the-scenes working hard long hours for low pay with dedication.
1000%
Love how quiet it is in there. Sign of an organised team.
they cant speak english thats why

This is what I call a restaurant business owner, not only his owner, but he’s also a leader, helping out his fellow employees and friends
Can I just say all the chefs on Bon Appetit are some of the most down to earth, service driven and team-loving people you'll ever meet.
Been going since they opened. Well deserved on the recognition
With such fair prices, they should be filled to the brim every day.
Put your money where your mouth is
600 person line
Not with this administration. Who can afford anything let alone going out. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck

Holbox is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants in LA. Bravo for the recognition!
Went here twice my last time in LA. Best fish tacos I've ever had. Incredible, affordable, and friendly. Wow.
Love a chef that feeds the team before the rush. Great job!
I used to pass Mercado de Paloma every day and had no clue there was a food court in there
Let alone a Michelin starred restaurant. Not rated, but a star is incredible. Never judge a book by its cover 😂
A Michelin star restaurant in a food court 😳 who would have thunk? 🤔🧐
Food looks delicious 🤗
'thunk' is wild
*thunked*
I wanna thunk you
Singapore lol 😜
Well in case you didn't know there is a street food that has a Michelin star LOL.
One of the best episodes I've seen.great job👍👍👍👍
料理の国境を超えて絶賛して美味しかったです。作る側の気持ちがメッチャ伝わってきました。❤
I’m in love with this chef and his team. A quiet kitchen is a happy kitchen.
I remember seeing this guy on Worth It way back in the day. Even then you could tell he was in a league of his own
Wow, I'd love to try this tasting menu. I'm far away now but will remember this.
I just love these series. Need make moreeee
Five minutes in, and I'm learning how to properly store fish for cooking. Thanks!!!!
Another restaurant to add to my travel list. Very nice!
Been here multiple times and also before their Michelin star. Always a phenomenal meal every time. Staff is super nice as well.
Highly recommend
This guys love and passion for the food and what he does makes him more than deserving of that Michelin star
Amazing to be turning out food of that quality at that price point
Went when Holbox was featured on Worth It and was great. So glad they continued to be great and earned their star! Congrats!
It's legit impressive that they have a Michelin star with those kind of numbers
Went just a few days before this vid posted. Still got the Kanpachi & Uni Tostada on my mind 🤤
Holbox is AMAZING love eating here!!! worth visiting for sure
Just visited - extremely delicious!
I’ve been eating there for years. Since they open the Itza restaurant.
Everyone should try the different restaurants in the food court.
Quality and expertise. I’ll be eating here soon.
i like the way the owner explains, like he really knows the food he is selling :o
special shoutout to the scallop taco, top 3 best i’ve ever had !!
I went before it got its Michelin star and it was phenomenal the tacos and the ceviche were so fresh and tasty the type of meal you eat with a smile on your face
As an LAFC season ticket holder, Holbox is a pre-game staple. Love this place.
Chef seems like a cool guy ✅
This place looks fantastic. Love the care taken regarding the food.
Shoutout to Holbox. Amazing food
Thanks for sharing this-!! The next time I am around the area, I will try it-!!😉

One of the best videos yet
Such an accomplishment!!
Dry aged fish. I haven’t seen that before and that urchin looks great

i actually want to try this food. The octopus taco=yum
Ate here twice in the summer of 2024. Absolutely worth the effort to visit.
The best tacos in the US full stop. You can taste their passion.
The food of my dreams 🤤🤤
Great energy!
Yummy can wait to go eat some food.
This is inspired cooking! Amazing
Woooow food look soooo delicious😋😋🩵🩵🩵
Simply amazing!!!
One of my favorite restaurants in LA ❤
This place is awesome I go there all the time
AH-MAZINGAH
Love this video
Nice one please continue
This look amazing
You dry aging fish I’m sold
Mercado la Paloma is so interesting and yummy! Unfortunately I only go there if I need to go to the DMV. Now I need another excuse!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
So inspiring❤
It all looks so amazing! Now I'm hungry!
Congratulations on your success!
Love his passion!
Passed by this placed several times and now asking myself, why have I not stopped by this place?!
He's a great boss
Great episode
This food looks delicious!!!!
How do you prep constantly for that🤔😮 even with a separate prep team potentially 😮
I nominate him and his crew for training the chefs for the US school lunch program.
What chefs 🤨
@@VB-fo1oc Those who prepare food for school lunch programs.
@@stuarthdoblin I understand that but there are no chefs in most schools
😊
Another chef that could have his own TV series...
And I don't even like seafood that much
I missed my days at USC
I’ll have one of everything 😂
Cooking = science. Love it. 😍
I uave eaten here and it's awesome. I think he used to sous at Demian
One of his sous chefs did, she just opened her own spot called Komal at the Mercado La Paloma.
Rikku's Godhand has gillionaire, Mimic's in Omega ruins or add ability/stats to armor/accessories and sell them, these are the 2 best ways I found to get loads of gil & I mean millions of gil.
Just went first time: best ceviche all time
I need to get there!
Beautiful food ✨
Oh holbox fire
probably the only place on this channel that I've been to XD
I’ll have to eat here
I've eaten here. It's worth the hype.
by USC, of course. where else will a Mexican food court find that kind of dough. I used to eat there a lot and this wasnt there so must be new.
Wow. 600-700 people they serve on a day? That’s amazing.
Din Tai Fung is pretty cheap (I guess it's their Hong Kong Branch w the star) but the LA branch seems identical to me.
What about the duck restaurant in Taiwan that was covered by A Great Big Story? That's still $1.50 no?
Great food at reasonable prices. I hate fine dining!
Dry aging is one of the best things since slice bread.
The best of the best --
Holbox is the truth!
Drive by here all the time. Im stopping next time solid......
5:03 i should call her
santa maria style
what's the brand of the lump charcoal?
Address? And what do i order for the Michelin meal? Being serious. lol
Blue fin tuna is about to go extinct
LOVE this! 👏 awesome! ✨✨🐟 🐙 🐠 🦞 🦐✨✨🔥
Great video but i must say.. cooking is why i cook
👍
