Wonderful place to visit and Shop. I always stop by and end up taking more than I plan back home. They had a big open space with the lot of music and dancing. However the regulars there were kind of rude to my elderly mother who wanted to sit down for a minute on one of the benches that was not being occupied. As soon as she sat down two of the ladies that were dancing came over and try to remove her from the bench. Probably because they thought she was alone I however was standing in the background where everybody else was. Once I saw this I approached them and explained that she was just trying to sit down for a minute and take a break. They however said that they have their own rules there and felt that they were the only ones that can use the benches. Needless to say not all of them felt the same way another group of women invited my mother to sit with them. A few bad apples don't really deserve to give the entire place a bad review. I do however like to give others an idea of what a place is like.

Wonderful open space with a band stand right up against Olvera Street. So there is often music for dancing, food booths, and today a Mini that's using this area to shoot a commercial. Toyota was here two weeks ago, Verizon four weeks ago. Lots of historic buildings and small museums. Short walk to Union Station.

This historical park was part of a tour I took while on a cruise. Overall the park was a great visit with vendors selling souvenirs, food and clothing. The tour guide recommended the churros which received a thumbs up from several other people in my group. Although this is a good place to take the kids there was a downside for me. I visited the restrooms that are located directly beneath the park central display and found them to have several homeless men living in the stalls. The restrooms had zero toilet paper, soap or paper towels which I attributed to the homeless using all the resources. This area made me nervous and I quickly left. When I asked my wife about her restroom experience she said the restrooms we're fine and there were no homeless women there. After my wake-up call we did notice several homeless men sleeping at the park. I would not consider this to be a great place to take your kids. Seems a bit dangerous.

Great place to visit when you are on a stop over at the Union Station. Right across the street. You walk over and get a small experience of Mexican life. There's food, dancing and Art to enjoy.

Nothing like visiting a historical landmark to remember where we came from. I remember visiting this place on field trips in 4th grade and seeing "jumping bean's" never knew that existed till my field trip here. Memories 24+ year's ago.

This is an incredible look back into old Los Angeles. You can take free walking tours tailored to your needs. Plus, you can buy great Mexican food.

This place holds so much history behind it. History of Los Angeles that is. To those that want to look further into the roots lf this big city, i highly reccomend you come and get a taste of the old country. See the last/ oldest standing home when los angeles began and please take a look at the America Tropical mural. You will completely enjoy it i promise it. And stay tuned during holidays they hold anual events here all the time.

NICE PLACE, CULTURALLY WISE IT'S GREAT AND THE ATMOSPHERE ALL THE WAY AROUND IS AN EXPERIENCE

El pueblo is a historic park that documents that beginning and growth of Los Angeles. On September 4, 1781, eleven families of pobladores (44 persons including children) arrived at this place from the Gulf of California to establish a pueblo which was to become the City of Los Angeles. This colonization ordered by King Carlos III was carried out under the direction of Governor Felipe de Neve." The small town received the name El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Ángeles sobre El Rio Porciúncula, Spanish for The Town of Our Lady Queen of the Angels on the Porciuncula River. In 1850, shortly after California became part of the United States, Los Angeles was incorporated as a city. As the City grew, the commercial and cultural center began to move south away from the Plaza, along Spring Street and Main Street. (~from wikipedia) 07/04/2018

So touristy, so that's a turn off. Interpretation of the historic sites is spotty.
