"Its namesake may be a Caribbean island off the Yucatán Peninsula, but this beloved counter inside the Mercado La Paloma is a distinctively Angelino phenomenon where Chef Gilbert Cetina, who previously cooked with his father at neighboring stall Chichen Itza, draws from Mexican coastal cuisines in dishes whose simplicity belies remarkable flavor. The frequently changing menu offers no shortage of delights and a hotly sought-after tasting, showcasing spectacular quality seafood of unassailable freshness in electrifying aguachiles and ceviches, excellent tacos on house-made heirloom corn tortillas, skillfully grilled lobster, and a panoply of exceptional house salsas." - Michael He
