A PIECE OF LOS ANGELES HISTORY ON YOUR PLATE


The Best Taquitos in

Los Angeles since the 30's

CIELITO LINDO HAS BEEN SERVING OUR SIGNATURE TAQUITOS

 WITH OUR ORIGINAL AVOCADO SAUCE ON OLVERA STREET SINCE 1934

Our story

Follow the smell of taquitos muy auténticos at this LA institution on historic Olvera Street. The tiny stand has been serving freshly stuffed, rolled and fried taquitos since 1934, enough to earn its street cred title of "world famous." The thing to order is obviously taquitos, though there are also burritos and chile relleno, which come smothered in avocado sauce and optional beans and cheese.ere was no running water so the water was drawn from the gas station directly behind the stand. The food was cooked at home and bundled in cloth (manteles) to be carried to Olvera Street by trolley.
