Komal Is Set to Bring Pre-Hispanic Mexican Food to Mercado La Paloma - Eater LA
"A new restaurant highlighting pre-Hispanic Indigenous food is coming to Mercado La Paloma. Komal begins its phased opening on July 1 with masa products available to start, then a full food menu, and eventually a tasting menu. The restaurant comes from two members of the Holbox team and life partners, Fátima Juárez and Conrado Rivera. The menu is set to revolve around Indigenous Mexican corn sourced directly from farmers. Once the menu is rolled out, look forward to dishes like tlacoyos, esquites, huitlacoche, and flor de calabaza. Komal started a year ago in the Holbox kitchen when Juárez started making tortillas and other masa products for the restaurant. This will be the first restaurant Juárez and Rivera have owned themselves." - Rebecca Roland
