In LOVE with Historic Olvera Street + Award-winning Oaxacan food 🌮🫔✨ Los Angeles Vlog #4
California Vlog #4: Exploring Historic Olvera Street, Long Beach Fun, and Oaxacan Delights in Torrance!
We continue our adventures in sunny California! In this episode, we start our day at the vibrant and historic Olvera Street in Los Angeles, where we immerse ourselves in the rich culture and history of the area. From colorful street food vendors to authentic Mexican crafts, there's something for everyone to enjoy!
Next, we head over to Long Beach to explore the charming Shoreline Village and its scenic boardwalk. We have a blast checking out the local shops, watching the boats, and soaking in the beautiful waterfront views.
We end our day with a delectable dining experience at Madre Oaxacan Restaurant and Mezcaleria in Torrance. The flavors of Oaxaca tantalize our taste buds with every bite, making it a perfect conclusion to our fun-filled day.

    My wife and I go to the H-Mart there to get the oriental ingredients that I can't get in the south suburbs. We usually grab something to eat in the food court attached to the H-Mart before we shop. Good Korean, Japanese, and Chinese food places at a decent price. I don't recommend the conveyor belt sushi place that's across the parking lot though - too expensive for such poor quality sushi.

    • @tammybozza4703

    i like apple fritters too; but they have stopped putting ACTUAL APPLES in them; you are lucky if you get a tiny bit of low quality pie filling mixed in, and that's all anyyone uses. Prove me wrong, because its been 30 years since I saw a real apple fritter, and doubt I will ever see one again. Real food is a thing of the past, people just make processed garbage. The hash needs an upgrade at mitchells, but there is also no good hash made anymore; again, just processed garbage. You want quality food. time travel, or grow it yourself; because they don't sell it to us poor folks anymore. Any oyster sauce has no place on steaks.
