Olvera St

Lots of murals, art, good food and unique gifts, the problem will always be the parking. All the shops and restaurants start opening at about 9:30am

Always a great place to pick up small hand made items. Food is great too. A little pricey but the atmosphere makes up for it

A fantastic place to spend an afternoon with great atmosphere and good food. This place closes quite early on Sunday’s and that was a bit of a let down. Otherwise it has the charm of authentic Mexican lifestyle with some great memorabilia shops and simple but great restaurants

Great historic stop in LA just steps from Union station!

Vibrant cornerstone of culture filled with unique shops, authentic cuisine, and humble people! As you speak to business owners, most will explain their family history and decades of operation. Enjoyable venture for people of all walks of life. Parking is limited in the area so plan accordingly! We ended up finding cheap parking for under $10 at a private parking garage lot located under a hotel across the street and up a block or so.

We love stopping here every time we’re in SoCal. It’s called the “birthplace of Los Angeles.” An open, block long Mexican market with a lot of culture. A lot of historic buildings. Good food. It always feels good to be there, walking among people who are just out for a fun day, shopping or just looking. Parking cost $15 just across the street from the market. There are some other parking areas as well, but I prefer to park across the street from the market. There’s a central pavilion as well that’s easily recognizable w benches. During the holidays they have numerous things going on. One such event, Dia de Los Muertos will be coming up here at the end of October. We’ll be there for that. Always look forward to the tacos, the churros and a cup of Jamaica or one of the other numerous drinks like Horchata or Tamarind. Definitely recommend visiting this place at least once.

I used to go here as a young child, with my classmates, yearly, for field trips..great fun! I grew up in Baldwin Park CA

cool place! street is filled with small shops selling similar items but it’s fun just to stop and admire the little trinkets 😙 we didn’t buy anyth but was just there to soak in the vibes during the short walk 🤟 there is a free exhibition of the oldest building in LA which was q interesting 🤝 ps public toilet here is also well maintained so that’s g 🙏🏼
