About
Top honors for most cavernous Mexican restaurant on Olvera Street have to go to El Paseo Inn. The restaurant also deserves accolades for having the longest front dining patio on the block. Step inside and be prepared to be amazed. The bar stretches from one end of the room to the other, across from a sunken dance floor and an elevated dining area. A smell of age and history spices up the air, a heady mixture of old wood, stone and tile, fitting aromas for a venue that has served generations of Angelenos since the 1920s. The booths and tables drip with old L.A. atmosphere, hearkening back to a simpler era. The food is more expensive than at the other Olvera St. restaurants but it’s well worth it. The sizzling fajitas, served with guacamole, fresh salsa, pico de gallo sauce, beans and tortillas, are the most popular option with the downtown lunch crowd.

Food is a bit pricey considering it's not a huge cut above what you can get at Grand Central Market. Decent margaritas, though.
