Since 1947
A Los Angeles Food Institution in the heart of Calle Olvera
Serving traditional Mexican and Cal-Mex cuisine
A Los Angeles Tradition since the 40's.
Las Anitas Mexican Restaurant has been serving the Los Angeles community in the historic Italian Hall since 1947. Ana Natalia Guerrero, a founding merchant of Olvera Street took great pride in serving traditional Mexican and Cal-Mex cuisine.
World famous Olvera Street was closed to vehicular traffic and made into a Mexican marketplace through the efforts of Christine Sterling in 1930. Olvera Street is part of El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument which is near the site of the early Los Angeles pueblo where forty four settlers established a farming community in 1781.
Las Anitas is located in the basement of the Italian Hall, which was opened in 1908 as a center for Italian organizations in the city. The second story south wall of the Italian Hall displays a 16x18 foot mural painted in 1932 by David Alfaro Siqueiros who is recognized as one of the three great Mexican muralists along with Jose Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera.
