City Terrace Neighborhood Markets

Image
City Terrace is an unincorporated community nestled between Boyle Heights and Monterey Park. Along its mostly residential streets you'll stumble upon several colorful neighborhood markets. I used these to design this route in a sort of dot-to-dot tour of the area.        Before you go - The 5.5 mile route is moderately challenging. There are some hills, including a rather long one at the end, but also plenty of flat walking to give you a chance to recover. There is parking at the rec. center at the start. It's a good idea to use the restroom there too as the next one is about 2.5 miles away.  Sara's Market hosts pop-up food vendors. Check out their Instagram for the schedule. If you need a cup of coffee to fuel your walk Zenaida's Cafe is the place to go. Fans of the movie "Blood in Blood out" will recognize  El Pino El Mercadito is a good place to stop for a meal, a beer, and a little shopping. Hopefully, the restaurants on the 3rd floor will reopen soon and
