Traditional Homestyle Tacos In LA!

Where can we find some delicious Mexican food? That is a question we get from many travelers while in LA.  Just a couple miles away from us at the base of Dodger Stadium is a taco restaurant which serves traditional tacos with braises from all over Mexico.

We highly recommend you try the sampler plate for $6.99 which gives you 6 different tacos to try. A nice drink to pair your meal with is the Armando Palmero which is a Mexican version of the Arnold Palmer and pairs fresh lemonade with jamaica (hibiscus juice).

How To Get To The Los Angeles Convention Center By Bus

The Los Angeles Convention Center is host to many large conventions during the year such as E3, Anime Expo, Dwell and the LA Auto Show. The "South Park" area of Downtown has gone through a major transformation in the last 15 years starting with the building of Staples Center and most recently the LA Live complex. This area has many great restaurants and bars as well. Getting to the Convention Center from our property is simple by either walking (1.5 miles), driving (5-7 minutes) or by using the DASH bus system.

If you want to use the DASH bus, Route F will take you directly to the South Park area of Downtown LA. A stop for this route is located 3 blocks east of our hotel. The DASH bus is highly cost effective as it is only $.50 cents one way.

Closest Stop: LAUSD Stop #6041 at 3rd St. & Beaudry
Get Off At: Staples Center Stop #6143 Figueroa & 12th St.

Schedule For Route F:
Monday - Friday 6:30am - 6:30pm every 10 minutes
Saturday - Sunday 10am - 5pm every 20 minutes
