Located downtown in front of Union Station, this tidy tourist attraction approximates a Mexican Street with mariachis, taco stands, and craft vendors. Free docent-led tours take place daily at 12PM, 11AM, and 10AM, providing historical insight into the lives of early Spanish settlers in LA. Holiday celebrations are colorful and festive. A great place to immerse your grandchildren in the roots of LA’s vibrant Latino culture.
