"Ray Garcia’s amazing pork belly dish is cooked sous vide for twenty four hours then fried in whole cuts before it gets covered in a lime-garlic sauce. Paired with some of the house made salsa and blue corn tortillas, it’s one of the best pork belly dishes in the city, period." - Matthew Kang, Cathy Chaplin

This spot dishes out the most authentic Mexican grub! Only thing that could make it better? Chunkier guac! They're always bustling, but still super attentive to customers. Plus, the vibe is just right. Definitely worth checking out!

Sunday breakfast before a walking tour of Los Angeles. I needed fuel for the whole day. The beautiful full jars of Agua Fresca stopped me in my tracks, so I sat down and ordered chilaquilas y Agua Fresca de Piña. Perfect in every way. The fresh fried tortillas deserve a mention! So good!

Authentic little restaurant on Oliva Street, a block away from Union Station. Loved it and the area.

Opens early! Food is decent and service is pleasant. It’s on the inside of of the Olvera St. walk. On this street with many choices this place puts out consistent fare at a reasonable price. Tried some chilaquiles and did not disappoint. It’s in a nice little space and some counter spots too. It does get busy and might be a wait. This is a walk only street and plenty of parking choices nearby or public transit. Recommend if in this area.

Cheese tamales and potato tacos al fresco. Odd phrasing, but nothing awkward about eating this great meal while standing outside watching the nearby festivities celebrating Mexican Independence Day. Fresh ingredients and an expert touch make the simplest foods a dream come true. Speedy and friendly service here too.

Really yummy. I got the birria plate along with some chips. The salsas at the table were delicious. No complaints. Our server didn't speak english, but that's okay, just something to note and be prepared for.

On Earth Day I traveled to Union Station LA via Metrolink, walked to Olvera Street for breakfast, I ordered the machaca it came with rice and beans and corn tortillas, great taste and good salsas, worth a visit when at Olvera Street.
