Saturday night we hopped in the car with the kids and headed over to the Farmer's Market in the Fairfax District for dinner. The Farmer's Market has been around since 1934 and for Los Angeles that is pretty old. It's a wonderful place to have an semi outdoor meal of just about anything you can think of, from pizza, chinese, Korean BBQ to crepes, Mexican, French, seafood, you name it and I am sure you can find it at the Farmer's Market. In addition to prepared foods you can also find local produces, butcheries, pastries, gourment foods, and a whole host of retail stores.
We had dinner at the Mexican Food stand - Loteria Grill, it was DELICIOUS! They have an incredible menu. You can order from their many different sauted items and have them in either a burrito, taco, tostada or sope. They also serve a variety of enchiladas, and chilies rellenos. We ordered a shredded beef burrito, three tacos - mushroom and epazote, cochinita pibil, and carnitas en salsa morita, crispy chicken tacos and black beans and white rice. Everything was wonderful, but by far the carnitas en salsa morita were the best. Slow cooked pork marinated in a super spicy morita chilie sauce topped with onions and cilantro, great texture and flavors. Had us wanted more.
Next we took a stroll over to Bob's CoffeeDoughnuts for a little sweet dessert. This is one of the best place for doughnuts. They have New Orleans style beignets, bear claws, classic glazed, cinnamon rolls, just to mention a few and my favorite maples bars. Sebastian got a "pink" glazed doughnut in shape of a heart. Valentine's Day is just around the corner.
We ended our evening with a trolley ride around the Grove shopping area. My kids love it.
