    Tacos De Pescado (order Of 2)-
    Fiona b.

    Was kinda and quick ordering food came out quick even though it was a super packed and busy day. Food was great! I really enjoyed my tacos and fried plantains! We sat outside which was nice and sunny with a light breeze.

    Tacos cochinita pibil. A la carte. Not as a meal.
    Elizabeth W.

    This place is inside the Mercado La Paloma, containing James Beard-nominated Michelin starred food stalls. It's an L.A. art center and culinary adventure dining here. The Mercado is in an industrial area on the other side of the 110 Freeway in the shadow of The California Scuence Center, BMO Stadium, and USC. HINT #1: After 5 pm. Park in the free DMV overflow parking lot,...entrance is thru the main parking in front of the Mercado, drive to the righthand corner to enter thru an open wire gate/fence.. HINT #2: Enjoy the huge wall mural painted by E.E. King. Too bad there's no freestanding legend to help you identify the famous faces and the not-so-famous faces depicted hete. Half the fun...also would be nice to know a bit about the artist and creation of the mural...but it's impressive... mysterious and whimsical. Now for the good . I got the cochinita pibil meal, carnitas Yucatan style, with black beans and rice . also container of hot corn tortillas that are thick and chewy. Had the feel of homemade, and handpressed, not the packaged storebought kind. My dish is beautfully presented on a banana leaf....This is subjective but I thought the pork was too salty, my companion tasted it and agreed it was salty but in a good way. Still I couldn't eat much because of the salt. (3) I enjoyed the pickled onions on the pulled pork, as well as the fluffy white rice, the black beans and the corn tortillas...tortillas were so nice, thick and chewy (5)....my friend ordered two sets of different tacos, a la carte, four in total....he loved them, cleaned his plate. (5) And mine too. Service...friendly servers deliver the hot food fast. If you need anything, you fetch it yourself. It's a food stall...they give you a number on a metal stand, the food finds you. Seating is colorful and the turnover is good so I've always found a table nearby. By the way the Agua fresca (jamaica) was perfect and delicious delicious delicious. (5) I borrowed a lime from my friends fish tacos and squeezed it into the Jamaica, try it, loved the way it cut the sweetness...Jamaica can be too sweet, but that's what is yum about the drink. Double yum with lime. Add it if you get Jamaica. This was my friends first time here, next day he told some clients about his taco experience, so I'm glad he enjoyed and decided to spread the word. Yay!!

    Agua de Chaya and bottle of Habanero salsa.

    I have been going to Chichen Itza for years when I was working at USC. Now it is only when I am in the area so it is now considered a treat. I ordered Poc Chuc which is grilled pork shoulder served with their homemade longaniza chorizo, pickled red onions, avocado, puréed black beans, shredded cabbage, and corn tortillas. The pork is very flavorful from the seasonings and the charring from a wood fire. The pickled red onions were a good accompaniment as the mild vinegar tartness balanced the richness of the grilled meat. I also ordered an Agua de Chaya which was refreshing and citrusy from all the fruit juices. Parking was difficult this time in the small lot due to the popularity of Holbox, their sister restaurant, but I managed to get a spot after the fifth drive around. The food court was very busy on the Friday I was there so finding an available table was also difficult. I would recommend either going earlier or after the noontime lunch crowd.

    Tacos De Pollo Asado (order Of 2)-
    Sharon M.

    Solid pollo asado tacos x2 & plantains for less than $15. Friendly service. Good vibes -- inside a market.

    Ceviche De Pescado- crowd pleaser
    Delfin T.

    We came here for Holbox but the line was crazy, so we decided to give this place a try. Glad we did. The dishes were different from your typical mexican restaurant. We enjoyed everything we ordered except for the tamales. It's not bad but it's not the typical tamales at other mexican restaurants (which I like better). The communal tables were okay. It seems like a somebody spilt drinks and nobody came to clean it up so there was a puddle of liquid under the table. Service was great. They made and brought the food to our table in no time.

    Ceviche De Pescado- Bistec a la Yucateca- Tacos De Pescado (order Of 2)-
    Dana T.

    I stopped by for Holbox but the line was wayyy too long so wanted to look around the food hall to see what else was there. Chichen Itza caught my eye immediately and to my surprise, I found out the chef who founded Holbox used to actually work there with his father! The food was all delicious and I really enjoyed every bite. The ceviche was fresh, and the bistec dish was so juicy and not dry at all. I like the beans and onions that came with it too. Would be an amazing touch if they also had avocado! My favorite item was the fish taco. The fish was so flaky but also had a lot of meat inside. The toppings paired perfectly too.

    Tamal de colado
    Lisa T.

    From the chef behind Holbox, this restaurant is where everything started and was handed down from his father. Delicious food and affordble prices. The coffee was good as well. Tamal de colado was great with the smooth masa. The fish tacos were good too. Different from the fish tacos at holbox. Free street parking. Pay to park in the lot.

    Cochinita Pibil-
    Jessica T.

    Don't let this food court fool you. The food is amazing! The flavors are spot on dare I say authentic? Like what your abuelita would cook at home. The service is fast. Yet the everything tasters fresh. You do have to bring your patience because there will be a long line, but once you place your order you won't have to wait too long. Pro tip have a friend scout a table for your while you order. Tables are first serve. So if you are up for the hustle and bustle of a lively of a food court with delicious food this will be a great dinning experience and great ambiance!

    their habanero sauce
    Dalia J.

    I dream about this place! Unfortunately, I don't live that close and driving on the 110 can mean a quick 10 minute drive turns into 30+. But you know what, I'll take the drive to get the chicharron tacos and their fried plantains. Chichen Itza is located inside Mercado la Paloma. The mercado is always busy even when it's slow so if you come during peak eating hours expect to wait, and that's okay. Ordering is super easy. Just walk up to the counter or wait in line to order. You'll be given a table number to take with you. Since the mercado is used by several other shops the seating is "first come, first serve" so don't be surprised if you sit family style with other people, it's fine and kinda expected. Once I sat at the table a server came and dropped off a bottle of the restaurant's habanero sauce. The sauce is perfect, equal parts heat and savory! I'm a creature of habit so I always get the same thing, tacos de chicharron! There's something so damn delicious about how crunchy, perfectly salty, every bite is. A salsa of avocado, tomato, and onion lightly garnishes the taco. It's so well balanced. Once I was done I cleared my own table and took my plates back to the counter and dropped off the salsa. This place deserves all the love for serving up quality comfort food!

    Took a chance on this gem when looking for food after visiting museums at the expo center. It was a 12-minute walk away under the highway. Worth the journey. It's a counter within a Mexican Mercado, Mercado La Paloma, with other vendors including the Michelin restaurant, Holbox. We ordered the fish and chicharron tacos, Poc Chuc pork, black beans and plantain. Everything was very authentically Yucatecan, giving me some nostalgia from my recent trip. I'd definitely go again and try some of their other main dishes.

    Tacos De Cochinita (order Of 2)-
    Estela V.

    I was grabbing ceviche at Holbox and an employee recommended I try the Cochinita Pibil taco here. I love the idea of ordering different items from the various vendors in this food hall. The best part is your food is brought to you by staff so all you have to do is find a seat! The pork was super tender, simple and delicious! I love the simplicity of this taco and the pickled onions and habanero salsa add the perfect finishing touches to the dish. I absolutely recommend ordering a taco or two!

    April W.

    Yum!! So good, especially the pollo asado plate. I ordered it two days in a row because, well, I deserve delicious things. I also tried a tamale and fish tacos. I'd rank the tamale in 2nd place overall and the fish tacos third. I recommend either the soursop or hibiscus juice, as both were very refreshing. The service is pleasant and efficient, but note that the line can indeed get very long during peak lunch hours. Worth the wait though.

    Longaniza Tacos
    Andy X.

    One of the best fish ceviches I've ever had, but fish tacos and longanisa taco missed the mark in flavor. Good texture on fish taco but needed more flavor/acid, and pretty good flavor for sausage but needed better texture, sausage was a little chalky. Their in house hot sauce was great with vinegar base and strong punch from the habanero Ate outside at the picnic tables, was very busy but servers found us and were quite nice Would go again just for the ceviche

    Anyone know what their vegan options are?

    David, Thank you for the question. Unfortunately there are no vegan options on our menu except for some sides: guac and chips, cilantro rice, black beans.

    What are the weekend hours?

    9 am to 8 pm, 7 days a week

    Is it takeout only or is it dine in w indoor or outdoor tables? Thank u.

    It's located in a food hall where there's tables indoors or outdoors if you choose to eat there.

The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.

Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious.

One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

And I live in Portland, which has really good vegetarian options. First of all, I could eat like 75% or more of the menu as a pescatarian. I was thrilled and so overwhelmed because I normally don't have that many choices! First of all, the water was infused and was delicious. I browsed the menu and had a really hard time deciding, but ended up on the cauliflower rajas taco, the crispy shrimp taco & the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The waiter recommended the crispy shrimp taco, but I actually enjoyed the vegetarian tacos more. I love cauliflower and poblano so that taco was a great starter. So much flavor and a variety of textures. The tortillas were super flavorful too. The potato taquitos came next and I am actually obsessed. The outside was perfectly crispy, the interior was soft, flavorful & cheesy. The sauce complimented it perfectly. I can not recommend them enough. The crispy shrimp taco was really good, but I also tried a crispy fish taco and would honestly get that over the shrimp. I think there was mango or something in the coleslaw of the fish taco because it had a really nice fresh flavor to it. Last, I had the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The mushroom shreds & the flavor were just perfect. Again, as a pescatarian I have really never had Korean BBQ because it's so heavily meat focused. I truly loved this taco. If I hadn't discovered it on my last night in LA, I might've come back on my short trip. The whole place is just a vibe and the food was beyond excellent.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.

There is a private lot but fills up, and there's also adjacent street parking. I love sitting at the bar and seeing the plate being prepared. Also love the open freezers so you can see the fresh seafood hanging. Another standout was the homemade hot sauces! Each had a distinct flavor from sweet, smokey, and hot so it was really fun to try. The ceviches and the raw cold dishes were my favorite, especially the scallop aguachile! SO GOOD. Would order that 100 times.

Order the Kanpachi taco: a shatter-crisp blue corn tortilla, molten fried cheese, silky buttery kanpachi, and a slick of smoky chili oil drizzled over top. The kind of taco you'll think about long after you've experienced it. You can't go wrong with the ceviches, cocteles, or aguachiles. The ceviche is bright with lime and the cocteles are lush and briny with a tomatoey kick, and the aguachiles hit with sharp citrus, fresh herbs, and it's a really decent amount of fish. If you're looking for a more traditional hot entree get the Filete al Cabrón: grilled sea bass with cilantro-lime rice, beans, and warm flour tortillas. Simple and so comforting. Fresh seafood can be hard to find in L.A., but Holbox does it like no other. Takes me back to Mexico City every time!
