The Best Restaurants in South LA
"After debuting a revamped counter space inside Mercado La Paloma in 2023, chef Gilberto Cetina has extra room to prepare his ever-popular ceviches, smoked kanpachi tostada, and shrimp aguachile. The restaurant, which earned one Michelin star in 2024 (the first market-located restaurant of its kind to do so in Los Angeles), has casual counter-ordering during the day and tasting menu reservations on Thursdays and Fridays at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., which can be made online." - Mona Holmes
