LA’s Grand Central Market was one of the best experiences we had in California! We had done some research and it looked interesting, but it was so much better in person! We arrived early in the day, about 10:00, so it was quiet before the lunch rush began. It is an entire city block of food vendors with tastes from all over the world. And this is not American’s recreating cultural food, these are immigrants from these countries preparing dishes from their home!!! In the mood for Chinese? There is China Café and Sticky Rice. Japanese – there is Bento Ya Japanese Cuisine and Ramen Hood. And it is Mexican food heaven with so many options: Ana Maria, Jose Chiquito, La Tostaderia, Roast To Go You, Villa Moreliana and Tacos Tumbras a Tomas. will have And there are also fresh fruit vendors (District Market and Torres Produce)), a spice stand with chilies from all over the world (Chiles Secos), a butcher with fresh high-end cuts of meat who also makes his own sausage and hot dogs (Belcampo Meat Co.), fresh cheeses (DTLA Cheese & Kitchen), fresh baked bakery (Clark Street Bread), a confectionary (Valerie Confections Bakery & Café) and even a candy shop (La Huerta). Want local American faire? Yep there is plenty of that too! We began our culinary adventure at Eggslut which had a line wrapping around the stall, so it had to be good food, right? We decide to go with the special, the Slut, because when else can you order a slut off a menu??? It was a coddled egg with potato puree which was infinitely better than I imagined a coddled egg to taste! And with a name as unique as this, Jason had to get a t-shirt! Next up, we try out an El Salvadorian specialty at Sarita’s Pupuseria. Even though we had to have them tell us how to pronounce it, it was fantastic!!! We sat at the counter and watched them make the pupusas and spoke with the locals who were from El Salvador and come here for a piece of home. And the price? $3.50!!! With all of the varieties of Mexican food, we had to try some tacos! So we chose Roast To Go for some Carnitas tacos (price also $3.50 for two tacos). But while in line, we speak to a local who is ordering the pork tongue… she insists we give it a try and we were both brave enough to do so. If I didn’t know it was tongue, I would have like it. It was actually tasty! After much deliberation and almost full tummies, we decided beef ramen will be our last food stop. But we couldn’t leave without stopping at Golden Road for a local California brewed beer! We could have easily spent the entire day here wandering around and sampling all of the delicious food! But with limited time in LA, we had to move on. This is somewhere we will DEFINITELY visit again!!! Please SUBSCRIBE, Comment, Like, Share & Follow!
