El Faro Plaza

El Faro Plaza is a hidden gem in the neighborhood — a small but lively plaza that offers a little bit of everything. Whether you’re stopping by for a delicious meal, quick shopping, or just to enjoy the local atmosphere, it always delivers a positive experience. There are authentic food options, especially for fans of Mexican cuisine — from street tacos and tamales to refreshing aguas frescas and snacks. It’s the kind of place where the flavors are real, the portions are generous, and the prices are just right. The plaza also features a few local businesses and vendors that give it a warm, community-driven feel. Parking is usually manageable, and the space is clean and well-kept. If you enjoy supporting local spots that offer good food, culture, and a sense of connection, El Faro Plaza is well worth a visit. It’s small in size but big on character!

They have animals that are kept in cages that are too small. They don't really sell anything here, except the fake cowboy boots and overpriced hair and shampoo items

The art is beautiful, if you ever want to throw a party and have little time. This is a one stop! All the party supplies you need and food available. If you love elephants and art this is a great place for home decorations. My day off and I had a bomb Mitchellada. Unfortunately they only have negro modelo no regular.

I wanted a specific phone accessory and came here to get it. Was surprised that it is such a cool vibe and many places with good food and great products. Ended up buying food, and a reflective jacket for work. Will come by again soon!

The most authentic swap meet in Los Angeles! (And I have been to many) The patio, music, food and vendors. Great findings as well!

Love coming here feels like im in tj with all the yummy foods and fresh veggies and fruits.

Great place for shopping pinatas, food and many other things.

There its no free Parking

Selection of shops if you're looking for clothing, massages like acupuncture, travel, food, plants, and more. They had a few food vendors outside but the ones that I tried were all disappointing. Churro stand had churros that were leftovers, wasn't fresh. I like to see the churros made right in front of me. The esquite that I had left me with a stomachache. Corn was not fully cooked and tasted stale to me.

Indoor swapmeet. Everything you need. All in one place . Good food also. Beer .... recommend this place

January 30,2023 2:30pm I want to start with how big this Plaza is. It's HUGE. So many variety of shops. Shoes, Clothes, Food, Massages, Insurance, you name it, they have it. I'll start with Lupitas, a Mexican food place located outside. The young lady was so nice and the food was great! I got an Horchata and Torta de Asada to go. This was the last place I actually stopped by to before leaving. Now, what I actually came here for was ABC Uniforms located in Lot B13 which I luckily found thanks to a gentlemen. Before him is where I had gotten discouraged in finding the place. I asked the little spot that takes the lot on B19 (which I don't recall what was being sold because I couldn't believe how unwelcoming the vendor was being) if she can point me to the correct direction but she very rudely kept looking at her phone and shaking her head saying "No, no se, este es el B19" almost as if telling me to go away. The lady was plainly rude and unfriendly. Maybe it was because I wasn't going to buy anything she didn't want to give me at least 15 seconds of her time for some help but that's no way to handle a situation, especially in a shared establishment. Your attitude and service not only reflects your business but the whole plaza as a whole. ABC Uniforms though, Carmen was so nice and helpful. I had went to two other locations before coming here and I'm so thankful to her for having what I desperately needed. I will be coming back to this plaza very soon. I just wish I had enough money to purchase something from each shop. 5 stars for this Plaza even after the sour encounter with B19.

I got there early on a Sunday morning, around 9:30 am when the market is about half way setting up. Still plenty of street parking available as well as their own lot. I parked on the street so I can't comment on their lot, except to say lots of cars were going into the lot. The streets in and around the area have people setting up stands for corn (esquites), soups, drinks, roasted yams etc, but that early (9:30 am) they aren't quite ready, but when I left a couple hours later, I wish I had a big enough appetite to partake of the bounty available. Next time I will PACE MYSELF. From my profile pic, you can tell that is something I have a hard time doing..I digress. I ended up stuffing myself on some tacos, surtidos (mixed carnitas). I got 3 tacos and a coke (bottle) for about $13 from Los Cochintos. I can't wait for next weekend.

I went to several different locations and this place gave me the best price. Friendly and great customer service. Liliana is the best at the We Buy Gold UNIT A-06

Awesome place to go shopping! You can come here for clothing or jewelry, house hold items and if you get bored you can grab a bite!

This place is amazing! Visited here when I travelled to LA and they have a little bit of anything you could ever want. Come on down and find yourself a treasure or two. Can't wait to visit again.

This place has everything! Need your car windows tinted? Done... Need a pinata for your next party? Done... Nails? Eyebrow-threading? Foot massage? Acupuncture? Hair cuts? This place has it all. There's entertainment for the kiddos on the weekends, including pony rides, bouncy houses and live bands or DJ's. Yummy food, fresh squeezed juices and more. Who needs the mall or a convenience store when this swap meet is your one stop shop for everything.

I passed by to get some food here on my way to a job site and I have to share how amazing the service was. Lady was super nice and friendly with such an infectious smile. I went to this place that said tacos estilo. I have yet to taste the chicken mole I ordered so I will follow up on that.

El Faro is the best swap meet! I always with my family to have a good time and buy things for amazing prices! I even got a haircut there once and got acupuncture done. They have delicious food, make sure to take home some Mexican candy while you're there!! It's a one stop shop for the best goodies! On Sundays they have live music and entertainment!!

Amazing! Highly recommend. If your in the area stop by! Great service Definitely will be going back soon!

So many cute items! Love how they are helping so many small businesses during this crazy time!

This swap meet has it ALL!!!!! Everything is there! Fruits for sale, clothes for sale, and you can't forget all the foods they have inside! I love it!

Great Place!! I found brand name clothes and even Victoria's Secret bras and panties at great prices. Love the store @Space A21 great selection of clothes.

A variety of merchandise and services from clothes, audio equipment, haircuts and acupuncture with massage. Clean bathroom and ATM.

A wonderland for discount shoppers. I stopped by to try tacos de canasta and walked through this shopping complex. Pretty much what it is is one huge swap meet. You'll find the typical vendors who sell shoes wrapped in plastic, cheap t-shirts, underwear, luggages. A maze of place to walk through. Across the street, you'll find another swap meet type place with a produce market that sold fruits you might not typically see else where.
