🌼 The Must-Try Amazing Mexican Restaurant You Can’t Miss!

💙 Name: Holbox 💙 Address: 3655 S Grand Ave I searched online and couldn’t find a single article recommending Holbox—so let me, someone who’s eaten here until I could barely walk, introduce it in detail! 😋 There’s a YouTube channel called BuzzfeedVideo—many of you have probably seen their Worth It series. Each episode picks one type of food and tries it at three restaurants at different price points. After watching the Holbox episode, I was so tempted I went to check it out the same day! Holbox is tucked away in a Mexican food court near USC. The food court is on a somewhat remote street corner—the first time I went, I almost thought I was in the wrong place and nearly left! 😅 You order at the counter, and it was only when I got there that I realized Holbox is actually recommended by the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide! The seating is limited—just a counter with stools—but you get to watch the chefs prepare the food right in front of you! 👹🍳 Now, let’s talk about the delicious food! 💙 Aguachile This is the most popular appetizer! Lime, cucumber, cilantro, and green chili are blended into a sauce used to marinate Santa Barbara shrimp đŸ€. The fried shrimp heads are arranged around a bed of avocado and shrimp. The shrimp heads are edible—not just for decoration! They’re super crispy, and when you bite into them, you get a burst of rich shrimp flavor—absolutely delicious! The marinated shrimp are tangy and sweet, incredibly fresh and bouncy—highly recommended! 💙 Uni-Scallop Ceviche Ceviche is a dish where raw fish or seafood is marinated in lime juice. This one features chopped scallops and tomatoes placed on top of sea urchin, with a dollop of avocado đŸ„‘ on the side. Be careful—there might be tiny fragments of sea urchin shell! 💙 Yellowtail Ceviche Yellowtail and tomatoes are finely chopped and served on a spicy sauce, with avocado puree on the side. You’re supposed to break the crispy tostada and use it to scoop up the fish—refreshing with a nice kick! I loved it! 🌼 Taco time! Tacos at Holbox are generally $5–8 each—not too expensive, so you can try a few! 💙 Taco De Pulpo En Su Tinta Haha, I didn’t understand the name at first and spent a while looking for it on the menu. Rewatching the video, I realized it means “Octopus in its own ink”—how interesting! This is a top recommendation among the tacos—a must-order! After the cold dishes, a warm octopus taco is just perfect! 💙 Wood Grilled Fish Taco Grilled with a sweet morita sauce and a pinch of salt, the fish is cooked over charcoal to medium-well. It’s a huge piece of kampachi—very generous portion! 💙 I really can’t fit everything here! Such an amazing Mexican spot—you definitely can’t miss it! đŸ„ș #LosAngeles #LAFood #MexicanFood #Holbox #USCEats #MichelinBibGourmand #TacoLover #Ceviche #FoodieFind #HiddenGem #MustTry #FreshSeafood #AuthenticFlavors
