El Mercado is widely known as a social, cultural, and commercial center for the local Latinx community. Representing a traditional Latin American marketplace, it provides a space in Boyle Heights for the sale of traditional Mexican goods, religious relics, live mariachi music, and authentic Mexican food. The building is situated around a large interior courtyard and is distinguished by its red tiled roof, arcade, and distinctive two-story arches. Although El Mercado has become strongly identified with the Latinx community, the space was originally a multiethnic market. Founded in 1968 by Art Chaya on the former site of the Boyle Heights Lumber Company, the two-story stucco building served the local Mexican, Japanese, and Italian communites. The variety of cultures, products, and foods boosted its appeal to outside visitors. Though the building has evolved over time, its original spirit and purpose has been sustained.

Me and my friends call this place the Mexican mall. You can purchase authentic art, clothes, shoes, etc that came straight from Mexico. They even have a place downstairs where you can get Mexican snacks.
