Grand Central Market
317 S Broadway
This giant indoor market is located in the middle of the oldest part of Downtown LA. Farmers and merchants have been offering their wares here for almost 100 years. It’s a meeting point for all, regardless of nationality and country of origin. Chinese spices, imported Mexican vegetables, and all kinds of different small food stands offer a thousand reasons to take a peek. The Valeria’s spice stand, for example, offers everything tied to Mexican cuisine: dried chilies, fresh mole, and herbs in giant glasses.
