Summary

Description

Boyle Heights, where the Mexican influence of East Los Angeles continues to predominate, though there is a bit of Japanese presence from Little Tokyo across the Los Angeles River. Two underground Metro Gold Line stations, Soto and Mariachi Plaza, serve the neighborhood.

Here at Mariachi Plaza, it's all Mexican. In fact, there are several mariachi bands from Michoacan, Mexico, who are available for hire, as seen here.

The statue commemorates Lucha Reyes (1906-1944), a Mexican singer who was best known for singing the Ranchera Song.
