Grand Central Market

If you haven't allowed Chiles Secos to spice up your life yet, you're just not living right! Offering a Latin grocery selection of imported moles, dried beans, rice, nuts, grains, and other specialty products, there's a reason they've been so popular among DTLA locals for almost half a century. The stalls at Chiles Secos are a beautiful microcosm of Grand Central Market itself, bright historic walls lined with diverse tastes for guests both young and old! At this legacy vendor, there's something for everyone; on any given day, you'll find grandparents enjoying delicious imported candies with their grandchildren, home-cooks looking for something to take a dish to the next level, and legendary owner Rocio Lopez behind the counter with a warm smile on her face.

"As a legacy owner, [Grand Central Market] has changed drastically. Covid was as if you sucked the life out of Downtown L.A.like a modern ghost town. As restaurant owners, or simply business owners, it was a year of do-or-die. There was no saying what tomorrow held for us from the looting, vandalism, and forcing businesses to shut down. It will be a year we will never forget, but we just thank God we are still open. That’s all we ask forto remain open for L.A. - Paul Serr...ano Jr. of Sarita's Pupuseria Please visit the link below to read the full March interview from our friends Life & Thyme, as they capture 12 months of the pandemic through the experiences of Grand Central Market Vendors. lifeandthyme.com//covid-diaries-portraits-grand-central-m/ Photo by @liberateantonio

Khao Soi, while popular among Thai street-food enthusiasts is much less common here in the States. That’s why we couldn’t be more thankful that Sticky Rice LA is serving up delicious and authentic Thai street food in the heart of DTLA. Sticky Rice‘s famous bowl of Khao Soi contains a massive array of textures and flavor, allowing it to satisfy every type of craving with just one dish! Soft noodles rest in a sea of coconut curry, loaded with perfectly seasoned chicken and hard...-boiled egg. For those daring enough, you can turn up the heat with additional chili paste, or just enjoy some fresh citrusy goodness with a little lime. The pickled mustard greens provide a crunch no one can resist, and the crispy noodles provide the perfect garnish to round it all up. We’ve got plenty of room for both indoor dining, as well as outdoor dining on both Hill and Broadway, and can’t wait to see you soon! Want Thai-to-go?
