Cielito Lindo is a popular restaurant located at the edge of historic Olvera Street in DTLA, serving delicious Mexican dishes since the 1930s. This family-friendly spot is known for its crispy taquitos and fluffy soft tamales, offered at a reasonable price. The menu is small but classic, featuring burritos and other favorites. The service is casual, with counter ordering and seating available. Despite potential parking challenges, the restaurant is easily accessible and a great place to grab a snack or meal, especially for visitors to Olvera Street or nearby breweries. The taquitos, filled with meat and served with green guacamole sauce, are highly praised and considered the best you can buy. Many customers find themselves passing by often just to get taquitos, which they say are worth trying. The place is more of a local street food spot, with a busy atmosphere and limited seating, but it remains a favorite for its satisfying dishes and long history. Wheelchair accessibility is good, with plenty of room for both ordering and dining.
