Description

It has always been worth the drive south of USC to the Mercado la Paloma, if only to order a few of chef Gilberto Cetina's fantastic cochinita pibil tacos. After Cetina closed his Macarthur Park restaurant and the little market stall became the only place to get his Yucatecan cuisine, it's been even more worth the trip. Sit in the pretty marketplace and order the antojitos, the tacos, the tamales, or anything else on Cetina's menu -- and do not forget the house-made habanero sauce, which you can also get to-go. --Amy Scattergood

    A stone's throw from USC and a GREAT place for lunch when you need to get away from the hordes of undergrads. I'm a creature of habit and usually go for the cochinita pibil or the poc chuc entrees and will split an appetizer with a friend (typically the ceviche or a chicken tamale). If you like spicy food, their habanero sauce is BOMB and I always keep a bottle on hand at home. If you still have room for dessert, the usual suspects like the plantains or the flan are good too.
