Chef Gilberto Cetina’s restaurant Holbox has been chosen as the Los Angeles Times’ 2023 Restaurant of the Year.  Located near the entrance of the Mercado la Paloma in Historic South-Central, Cetina opened Holbox, which is dedicated to the coastal flavors of Mexico, in 2017.  “Holbox is our little corner of coastal Mexico,” Cetina told KTLA. “We are a kitchen that does food from all coastal regions of Mexico seen through the lens of Southern California ingredients.”  Growing up in Mexico, Cetina said he’d go diving with his cousins, which was his first contact with ultra-fresh seafood that they pulled straight out of the ocean to take home and cook.  Cetina later moved to the United States with his family.  “My background before cooking was actually computer science,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anything more detached from being a chef than that. I learned to cook from my dad. I did not go to culinary school. My training was here in this space, in Mercado...
