Winning a Michelin star brought some new challenges to Gilberto Cetina’s life.
But it also saved Mercado La Paloma, arguably L.A.’s best food hall and a 30-year-old institution in the heart of South Central L.A. that pays homage to Mexico’s legendary open-air markets.
The head chef and proprietor of a tiny seafood kingdom called Holbox and a Mayan food temple known as Chichen Itza, Cetina recently admitted that the success can be overwhelming.
