Mercado La Paloma

March 21, 2025

We had a wonderful experience at what felt like a vibrant Mexican market, all housed in one building filled with small eateries. Every dish we tried was excellent, authentically delicious, and incredibly fresh. The drinks we ordered from another counter were equally tasty and refreshing. We’re excited to return and explore more eateries, shops, and special events on our next visit to Los Angeles!

A little overpriced imo, almost $30 for a grilled fish. People were good, nice and helpful with a smile on their faces. Loved the atmosphere kind of like a small Mexican town market. Food was delicious. There are different restaurants you can choose from.

Lunch with friends and colleagues during my visit to LA. This place is amazing if you want local delicious food. Get here as fast as possible! Here are my thoughts: Environment This is a great local establishment in South LA near USC. It's a midsize food court with plenty of great vendors to choose from. The space is ran by a local non profit that caters to local businesses in the area. During the time we were there it was just getting busy. It's an active busy but not too busy space. Service We spent our time exploring the different food stalls deciding on which ones we wanted to try. Once you decide, like most food halls, you go up to the counter order your food they give you a number that you can take to your table and they will bring you your food. Food and drinks I ended up ordering chickens tacos and beans and rice from Chichon Itzo and a fish taco from Holbox (to see what the hype was about!). I learned that both stalls are ran by the same family - the father runs Holbox and the son runs Chichon. EVERYTHING was delicious. Plenty of flavor and delicious. I would recommend trying both places. I will definitely go back. Overall A wonderful food hall thats staple in the community with great food and a great place for lunch by yourself or for larger parties. Definitely a highlight of my trip.

Interesting little place. Multiple food options, some clothing in there as well. My engineering crew was doing a TV broadcast at the Galen Center. We walked over here on our break. We will definitely be back. I want to try some of the other places that I did not try.
