Thrillist writer benmesirow once said that this mariscos tasting menu tucked in a warehouse is “so good it might make you cry.” Well, he must’ve been onto something because the iconic Los Angeles spot just became the first Mexican marisqueria in the United States to receive a michelinguide star. 

Have you had the pleasure of tasting Holbox’s exceedingly fresh seafood? If not, you better go quick before the news of their new fame makes it impossible to get a seat. Chef Gilberto Cetina’s goal of combining great seafood with creative presentations that are rooted in Mexican culinary tradition is clear from the first bite of ​​an oyster topped with urchin and a touch of smoky salsa or a taco filled with house-smoked yellowtail, Dungeness crab, and locally made queso oaxaca. Regardless of the dish’s eccentricity, his emphasis remains on sourcing and getting the freshest sea creatures from the closest waters possible. “Sourcing is one of the things that I spend the most time on,” Cetina said. “I think it’s the most important task we have in our kitchen, building relationships with farmers.” Now he’s regularly getting fish from omega_azul in Baja, sea urchin and more from seastephaniefish, and prawns from transparentseafarm and letting the catch dictate what they serve for any given tasting menu.
