    I love their weekday lunch specials. Especially Tuesday for fish tacos and shrimp, tacos, and Thursday for the garlic shrimp plate. I definitely love their garlic, shrimp and fried shrimp. Service is very good and it's a great little restaurant for delicious seafood.!

    a plate of food
    Mel D.

    I'm having a great foodie week. 2 restaurants in a row that I feel deserve 5 stars, both local to my home and minority owned. It isn't fancy but it's exactly the types of places I want to frequent. I LOVED my dish. I was with a friend who has been here 4-5 times and said every dish she tried was delicious. I was already planning my next visit before finishing the dish in front of me. I had the garlic shrimp plate which was butterflied and to die for. It was perfectly grilled. My friend had the fried shrimp tacos in a crispy shell and loved it as well. Chips and salsa are plentiful - homemade salsa is amazing - it has a nice kick to it. I plan to head back next week with my other half, he's going to LOVE it. They have a few outdoor seats and inside they have TV's if you'd like to catch a game. Note that they close at 7pm (later on Fridays), this is more of a breakfast/lunch place...early dinner works too. They have great lunch specials which I took advantage of today. I hope gentrification doesn't ruin all the local joints in the neighborhood. This place is a keeper and will be a place I frequent.

    Ceviche tostada
    Shawn G.

    A friend took me to try this place a couple weeks ago. We each ordered a regular ceviche tostada. They give extra tostadas on the side, each one is more like three. They also give little sample dishes of two other types of ceviche. We also had the baja style fried fish taco. The taco was really excellent with a huge piece of fish and lots of veggie toppings. Highly recommend trying this place!

The area has historically suffered from disinvestment - including a lack of quality jobs and business opportunities, quality gathering spaces, quality food, and art and cultural opportunities. The investment that has occurred in the area has often not been designed for the benefit of those living in our community. In 1999 in response to the suggestion of some residents in Esperanza's housing developments for a local version of the bustling markets that they had left behind in their home countries, the idea for Mercado La Paloma was born. Mercado La Paloma Offerings: Offering a unique blend of local retail, cuisine, and cultural experiences. Developed by Esperanza Community Housing Corporation, it provides affordable business opportunities and living-wage jobs for local residents. 1st Floor Community Room Rental Fees: - $25/hour for current Mercado tenants, vendors, and local community groups - $60/hour for external nonprofits - $100/hour for external for-profits - $55 per day for day table rentals For Room Reservations and more information, email: daniel@mercadolapaloma.com Shop Vendor Stalls Inside Mercado La Paloma: 1) Gloria's Alterations 2) Joe's Sports World 3) Donaji Oaxacan Crafts 4) Paloma Cutlery ========= Food Vendor Stalls Inside Mercado La Paloma: 1) Holbox 2) Taqueria Vista Hermosa 3) Thai Corner Food Express 4) Chichen Itza 5) Komal 6) Oaxacalifornia ======== Wait Time: Wait time doesn't seem like an issue with 5 of the 6 food vendors. The one food vendor that you might have to wait for is Holbox (Michelin 1 Star). I went over the weekend and the food vendor stall had a separate line dedicated to the shop. Took about 40 minutes get to the front of the line to order. Parking: Paid parking can be found in their private parking lot and free parking on Grand and surrounding neighboring streets. Ambiance/Decor: Pretty cool ambiance with plenty of tables and chairs inside outside for your dining pleasure. Shops/Food Vendor Of Choice: I haven't visit any of the shop vendors stalls, but I've visited 3 (Holbox, Taqueria Vista Hermosa, and Thai Corner Food Express) out of 6 food vendors stalls. All the food vendors that I've tried were very good. Mercado La Paloma For Thought: I would mind coming back to try other food vendors.

    I was teaching my niece on navigating public transportation so we took the Metro, made a transfer,…read moreand exited Wilshire/Vermont from the D-Line, and walked half a mile over. If you're driving, Crab House also has a public parking lot that is a gem in this Koreatown area where you don't have to pay or valet. Crab House specializes in Korean seafood, especially raw crab. We felt welcomed as we came in, even with the language barrier, you can tell the ladies were friendly. It was an intimate restaurant but it has dividers up so you feel a sense of privacy even when there are others nearby. The tables all had gloves, for handling the seafood. Even before reviewing the menu, I knew we had to get their raw marinated crab, since it's what they're known for. We decided to share their #9 Combo ($39.99) which comes with 2 USA Crabs and an extra small Sea Urchin rice and a Korean Potato Pancake ($8.99). Meal comes with complimentary side dishes and iced tea. Wow what a glorious spread. This was my niece's first time having raw marinated crab and she really enjoyed it. The fresh seaweed, imitation crab, and fish eggs it was served with was good too The sea urchin rice had uni, rice, quail egg, and fish eggs. Not that fresh or essential but interesting to try. The marinated raw crab was definitely the star. The Korean potato pancake was a decent addition. We both liked the crispy edge pieces but didn't like the soft soggy spots as much. Eat while fresh for maximum crispiness. We both enjoyed our meal and it was a very unique experience. We will definitely be back for more marinated raw crab and to try more of their menu.

THIS PLACE is always good everytime I've gone but I think they improved from the previous years because the banchan was so interesting !! I never had a fish head + deeply braised radish that was perfectly salty spicy and sweet. The spicy rice cake portion was huge ! My friend and I were super full leaving and extremely satisfied. 10/10 recommend for uni bowls + raw crab lovers. I prefer the korean crab but the spicy one just goes so well together. Absolutely amazing service ! Super kind and helpful. Small cozy restaurant not here for the aesthetics of the atmosphere more here for the aesthetically pleasing food + delicious taste. Free parking outside. Follow me for more foodie adventures -living with Luci
