The Toughest Reservations In LA Right Now (And How To Get Them)

"Verdict: If you’ve shown up to Holbox on weekends for ceviche tostadas and aguachiles, you’ve likely seen the gargantuan lines. The good news? Beyond its á la carte menu, the famed mariscos stall also offers a twice-weekly tasting menu at its chef’s counter that features eight courses for $130. The less good news? Reservations disappear in an instant. The experience itself is a great value and worth the effort—half of the courses are incredible raw dishes similar to what you’ll find on their regular menu, followed by hot dishes unique to the tasting menu (these tend to be our favorites), including abalone tamales filled with plantain mole and dungeness crab tacos drizzled with salsa macha. How To Get into Holbox: Holbox’s tasting menu is available Wednesday and Thursday nights only, with seats released on the first of the month at 11am for the following calendar month." - brant cox, sylvio martins
