This place is awesome. It’s sad that many stores are closed due to covid. But the beauty still there.

Little Mexican Market in LA, close to China Town. It was small but so cute. Many styles and colorful clothing, toys, jewelry and local gift shops. Food were yummy. There was $5 parking at the corner by New high st and Ord st. Great for visiting:)

My family and I have been coming to Olvera street for years now, and when I recently found out a local train station had only one connecting line to Union Station (a historical site and wonderful example of Mission Revival Art Deco architecture, conveniently right across from Olvera Street), I paid the $9 ($2 for the card, $7 for the pass) to ride into Union Station, see the glory that it is, and then walk about Olvera Street around 1:00 pm.What is magical about Olvera street is…pretty much everything! There’s the wonderful comfort of the same vendors and restaurants, but because Olvera St is almost like a living, breathing thing, there are subtle changes throughout the years and each time you go, you’ll notice something different.One of the BEST recent discoveries (for me) is the 400+ year old grape vine growing on Olvera Street. NPR did a broadcast talking about how this vine is a hybrid between native grape vines and Spanish grape vines, and how the vines are not only 400+ years old but there are plans to make wine from them soon. It’s just one of the many hidden charms of Olvera St you wouldn’t know to look for unless you paused to look up; or asked an old timer about the place.If you can, try to go earlier in the day, when it’s a bit quieter; I walked through it around 1:00 pm and 4:30 pm, and there was a noticeably larger crowd later in the day. Eat a little earlier in the day (11:00 or 10:30) to avoid the lunch rush; street food is good food; and vegans and vegetarians (such as myself) will struggle to find something to eat that fits their diet, so either be flexible when traveling or bring your own lunch/plan to eat somewhere else that you’ve scouted out ahead of time.And whatever you do, don’t forget to step to the side (to allow other travelers to pass by) and look about a bit. You’ll notice things you’d otherwise miss.Things to bring:1) Water Bottle:the water prices are be really high and the fountains are currently closed because of COVID. If you’re a camper/hiker, bring a water bladder.2) Cash:most souvenirs run between $5-$45, depending on what you’re getting; and not all vendors take card, but most do.3) Coins:there are lots of little fountains and such to throw your coins into for good luck and wishing; the money is collected and goes towards the preservation of the street. Also, you can buy between 3-5 post cards for $1 (always a good go-to souvenir) or those pressed pennies for $0.51 cents.4) An appetite:Try out a tonne of different candies, sweets, tamales, conchas, tacos, and so on. Even if Mexican food isn’t your schpiel, the place is close to China Town where you can get a lot of wonderful dim sum or Chinese food and Pho!5) Backpack:UNLESS you plan on buying one of their beautiful backpacks or purses along Olvera Street (and I am saving up to treat myself to one…they’re not expensive, I’m just poor), bring a backpack and don’t worry too much about thieves; most people are pretty good at pointing out the random stranger rummaging through your backpack while you’re admiring the taco menu.

I love the experience and the shops. The food was great and so were the shop owners. I had so much fun here.
