Holbox

mexican, seafood · ★ Michelin

Its namesake is a Caribbean island just off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, but this beloved counter, located inside the Mercado La Paloma, is a distinctively Angelino phenomenon. 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. Spectacular quality seafood of unassailable freshness leaves an impression, whether in electrifyingly vibrant aguachiles and ceviches, excellent tacos served on house-made heirloom corn tortillas or skillfully grilled lobster — a pan

Komal

mexican · Bib

In the bustling Mercado Del Paloma, Chef Fátima Juárez runs this little stall specializing in corn. Heirloom varieties sourced from Mexico and nixtamalized in-house form the heart of the menu. A quesadilla lined with squash blossoms and sweet corn bound with melty quesillo earns top marks. Golden-fried plantain balls set in a smoky black mole is another accomplished winner. From tlacoyas topped with cactus to tacos lined with short rib, be liberal with the salsa for extra punch and power.

Korean, Duck Specialities · Bib

It’s all about the duck—whole roasted in a clay pot—at this dining delight. And, since the very best things take time, seat-of-the-pants types must know that this platter requires a bit of of planning: order at least a day in advance. However, upon entering this Koreatown gem, one may look forward to being rewarded with a generously portioned dish to dream about for weeks. Stuffed with chestnuts, sweet potatoes, rice and herbs, then wrapped and roasted for hours, the bronzed beauty is plated before your eyes. A spicy dipping sauce and light broth with greens elevates the preparation to epic he

Pollo a la Brasa

regional · Bib

Peruvian in Koreatown? You bet, at least at this family-owned and run spot that has been at it for more than thirty years. Expect a casual neighborhood restaurant that's a touch warm on the inside from the heat of the live-fire cooking. All of the chicken is cooked over a wood fire that you can smell a block away and delivers smoky meat with a crispy skin that's marinated with their family secret. While there are a few options on the menu, make sure that you order the chicken by itself, or choose from their sides, but don't skip their twice-fried French fries and consider ordering a second con

Langer's

jewish · Bib

This beloved institution has been ladling matzoh ball soup since 1947 and started out as a humble operation with just a 12-seat counter. The restaurant today has grown considerably, now decked out with booths as well as a loyal fanbase that extends far beyond Los Angeles and across the entire country. Equally ample is the menu, with all the requisite standards such as latkes, blintzes and chopped liver. Breakfast is served all day. But if you’re here for the first time, there's only one way to go: the No. 19 hot pastrami sandwich with Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing.

Liu's Cafe

Chinese, Taiwanese · Bib

Liu's Cafe is just the sort of casual spot you'll come to again and again. Arrive early, as seats fill quickly, then order at the wood counter, where you'll get a sneak peek into the bustling kitchen. You'll also spy their selection of pastries, which definitely shouldn't be overlooked. Order the house-made pork wontons for a tender, tasty treat, and be sure to get the extra egg noodles to soak up that wonderfully kicky chili oil. Braised pork belly rice is another dish of pure comfort, and no matter what you have, everything is complemented by a pot of tea, such as the milk oolong. Finally, t

Korean, Barbecue

$$$

There are elements of reverence and seriousness to dining here, which is an asset for anyone seeking authentic Korean food. The warm servers all wear traditional garments to heighten the classic feel, while also donning earpieces in the upscale modern setting. The wait may seem long, but the food is worth it.The menu, too, can seem extensive with familiar classics from the barbecue lineup, but these are then elevated by the kitchen’s distinct care and skill. The sheer variety of banchan is a feat here. This is also the perfect place for large groups on the hunt for superbly tender meat to gril

Parks BBQ

Korean, Barbecue

$$$

Lauded as one of the city's most cherished destinations for Korean barbecue, Parks has been luring patrons for years, evidenced by the photo wall of famous chefs, actors and politicians right by the front door. The interior is simple, as efficient, friendly servers do most of the work managing the grills and flipping and slicing meat. From bulgogi to galbi, the meat is prime quality and often lightly marinated. Pricier American wagyu will appeal to spendy guests, and the acclaimed garlic-soy-brown sugar marinade is ace with short ribs. Crisp kimchi pancakes served hot on cast-iron skillets as
