My favorite Mexican restaurant in Echo Park (and one of the best in LA). It is a longish walk east on Sunset from Echo Park Avenue. Go during the day. But I highly recommend it.

This is a classic fish taco place, and it is really good. If you eat shellfish (and hominy), I recommend the shrimp pozole. But, can’t go wrong with the classic fish tacos.

My local taco truck. Tacos (and taco trucks) in LA are like pizza in NYC: everybody thinks the best one is the one around the corner from their house. So it is here. Tacos for 1.25 each. Sometimes I just get two; but most people will order 3-4. They are small. They specialize in "al pastor". But they also carry chicken and everything else you would expect. Their little salsa bar is really, really good. Try all the salsas, but beware, they are spicy. Two blocks from the house.

One of the newest Museums in LA. It opened in 2015. It is much talked about and mostly focused on modern and contemporary art. It is very popular and requires a reservation. If you know you want to visit, I suggest getting a reservation at the earliest convenience, especially if you are thinking of visiting on a weekend of a holiday.
