El Mercadito

Some of these things are pricey but if you think about it at least you didn’t have to drive to Mexico or pay shipping. Amazing genuine, hand-made items like clothing, accessories, etc. it truly makes one feel like you’re in Mexico. Parking is complicated if it’s packed but free in the lots behind.

March 2024 I really enjoyed exploring this area. Culturally it was really interesting, seeing all the different Mexican goods and foods. I spent a good hour or more here. I had a Mexican tripe wrap and crème caramel from the restaurants inside and they were very tasty and authentic. I highly recommend this spot but just be aware that many of the shopkeepers and workers can't speak English so there may be communication difficulties.

El Mercado De Los Angeles! El Mercado de Los Angeles is a wonderful place to go and explore the latin food and desserts with little shops selling different stuff like toys, dresses, shirts of God or la virgen, belts, boots,jeans, El Niño dios, Customized shirts and more. The food is delicious at Tacos 5 De Mayo, I got Carne Asada Fries with everything on them they were delicious. I didn’t expect the Carne Asada Fries to be a big portion. They served me a big portion of Carne Asada Fries With a Mexican coke. 👀 My mom got a Pozole she said it was delicious! The caldo de pollo has chicken with carrots, squash, and cabbage. She also got a Mexican coke. My dad got a mole dish he said: It was alright for those that like really sweet the mole not for him but others do like it sweet not him. He got a jugo de horchata And for dessert we got Un Chocomil from Chocomiles (CREMI) they have so many flavors! I got Maza Pan parents got Pistache, and Nuez. So delicious dessert makes me think of me being at Mexico! The place also has the parking in the back with the Virgin De Guadalupe really beautiful to take pictures. One thing I don’t like is the front view of El Mercado wish it was better doesn’t look open.

El mercadito brings back so much memories to my childhood. I came here a lot of time with my family to buy candy, shoes, make up. Things change when covid hit. But the thing I miss about this place is the tortillas the are made. It was next to the candy spot and a restaurant. I love the aguachiles there too. Good place to being your Mexican family. Edit : Feb 23,2025. I have recently, pass by to taste some agua chiles again. They served me small portion of shrimp. Outta the cucumber and purple onions. Wasn’t worth to pay so much with a little bit of shrimp and worst of all wasn’t well cooked either. I love it don’t get me wrong but. Come on, back when I came here the served me so much. Shrimp.

Like it ...but place could be a bit more clean and more bathrooms..but munchies are good

VIBE AND FOOD IS 5 STAR, Location , PARKING AND AMENITIES ARE 1 star. Bathrooms stay dirty, the elevator smells like feces due to the 2nd floor entrance being located in the same enclosed area as the bathroom. Churros outside are beyond 5* but sadly have gone up in price at least triple

Our first time there after visiting Los Angeles many, many times. We didn’t know about this place until my wife saw an instagram video about it. So we went and it was like visiting Tijuana and Rosarito again. Nice place to visit.

I love this place! I’ve been coming here since the 70’s when I was a little kid! It’s like a little Mexico 🇲🇽. The food is so delicious and the mole to take home and make that they sell there is to die for. It’s so nostalgic and pretty authentic!
