The 17 Hottest New Restaurants in Los Angeles, January 2025
"After working at Mexican seafood spot Holbox for years (which was recently awarded a Michelin star), chef Fátima Juárez and her partner in life and business Conrado Rivera have set out on their own to own Komal Molino. The newest stand in Mercado La Paloma serves dishes inspired by Juárez’s upbringing in Mexico City and Oaxaca, made with heirloom corn she nixtamalizes and turns into masa by hand. Each dish on the menu carries a special meaning for Juárez, like the Taco Sonia inspired by her favorite taco-maker growing up, and the pan de calabaza (squash bread) made with a family recipe. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
