LA Plaza Cocina, the first museum dedicated to Mexican food, opened its doors on Monday, February 7, 2022, with its inaugural exhibition Maize: Past, Present and Future, a tribute to the cuisine’s most essential ingredient.
Located in Downtown Los Angeles, LA Cocina is a unique space that expands the role of LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in sharing stories about Mexican, Mexican-American, and Latina/Latino history, art and culture. LA Cocina is a museum, the first one of its kind focused on Mexican cuisine; a teaching kitchen dedicated to exploring the rich culinary traditions and treasures of Mexican and Mexican American cooking; and a store where Angelenos and visitors will find rare and high value culinary-related ingredients, cookbooks, decorative items, and utensils used in preparing the complex cuisine.
LA Cocina is located in LA Plaza Village at 555 N. Spring St. and is part of LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes. Paid parking is available at LA Plaza Village, 555 N. Broadway, and at LA Plaza’s parking lot, 171 Arcadia.
