I have to go there. Think I went in the 50's. I could take the train from San Clemente to Union Station. You should do a video at Philipe's Famous French Dip Sandwiches across the street from Union Station. I love the food you showed, and the prices are great! I love to put the refried beans in my tacos., try it, you'll thank me, Melaney from SoCal

Having grown up a stone's throw from Olvera Street in Boyle Heights (back in the 50's) we would take the bus downtown to enjoy the Mexican food and shop the stalls. China town is also handy, and between the 2 (admittedly touristy) areas one could make a fun day of it. Having 'escaped' LA many years ago & settling first in Pasadena, then OC, I still have fond memories. Sadly, you couldn't PAY me to make the drive into LA these days. There are plenty of rich international flavors to enjoy South of LA....in Orange County. 🌮🥡🍱

2:02 - i wish you could show the kid that is singing, and pretty well for what sounds like their age. maybe you will, but i paused the video to post this, hoping that you do. update/edit… yes, im so glad you showed the kid. i figured he would be all dressed up in the band but maybe its like karaoke or “open mic” night, but he was quite good for his age. so cute that you gave us a glimpse. 😊

One of my most favorite video's of yours !!!!!!!! Great restaurant choices, the food all looked amazing, that enchilada sauce is my favorite kind to find - thick sauce YUM. Watching Derek's 'swoon-faces' were just the best too ! The two of you make a perfect pair you really really do.... Cheers to you both and to a lifetime of love, laughter, good food, funny incidents (like when the taste of something is iffy LOL), and to greatest of times to come !!! marcia

I had jury duty downtown and wandered over during break. Truly a fun little place to try and explore. Olvera Street, Little Tokyo, and Phillipe's were lunch spots. Actually enjoyed my time, heck they were even filming some tv show and let people walk through as they were filming as unpaid extras basically.

Does anyone happen to remember a very small amusement park and you could also ride a pony in a circle on Pico street back in the 1950's. If so, I would love to know what the name of that place was. I have several pictures when I was little there. I would just tell my dad, let's go to Pico street. That 's what we called it. Nice memories.

Well you Guys, you were only in LA a short time before you raced back to L.V., but, you hit the two best places on the street. Taquitos at one end and Charros-filled at the other end. Great Job sniffing them out. The other Cantinas are all about the same. When you were at Taquito de Lindo end you could have seen Phillip's French Dip Sandwiches, just a block away on the same side of the Street. Over a Hundren years of goodness there. Next time in town check them out. Also The Pantry at 9th & Figueroa St. Another 100 + yr. Establishment. Best to You Both ! When's that Wedding Derrick ? 🎉❤😊 FastFrank-CA 😎

My fav is chicken enchiladas with green sauce and some jamaica to wash it down. Tacos de papa (potato tacos) is something I always eat during lent. Those churros look amazing!!!!🤤 Great review. Need to eat some Mexican food now.

Hey guys! Well, you inspired us to take our first visit to Olvera St in about 7 years, and we couldn't have had a better time. Juanita's is fantastic (and the guy at the counter remembered you too!). Also Mr. Churro is a national treasure. More LA adventures! If you want a tip, try the Office Burger at Father's Office in Santa Monica. You won't be disappointed.
