La Luz del Dia is a cafeteria-style restaurant serving Michoacan Mexican food in the historic Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles. The restaurant was officially established at this location in 1959. Before there was the La Luz del Dia restaurant, there was a La Luz del Dia grocery store, established in 1915 just a few blocks down on Main Street where the 101 freeway is today. It relocated to several places along Main Street including right next to the Plaza Church, North Spring Street, and in 1966 the Sepulveda House. La Luz del Dia is known for their carnitas, tamales, hand-made tortillas, pastel azteca, and for the adventurous, chicharrones.
Time-tested cafe serving Michoacan Mexican cuisine in a quaint & colorful venue with patio seating.

Came in today with my family
Services was decent
Unfortunately there was a cocaroach in my nieces agua fresa
No apologies no discount
Just served her a new drink and apparently nothing ever happened .. kind of a bummer when we spent $245. And some change. 1 star for today’s service pls do better and please have the due diligence to keep your place clean .
Side note when my wife asked for a refill on her Pepsi
We still couldnt get a free drink or discount on that . Smh DO BETTER !

Very disappointed.
I have been eating at this restaurant for many years but had not returned for quite a while until today.
I ordered the #3 plate with a taco and tamale and the tamale was hard and dry with a tiny sprinkling of meat in the middle and the carnitas taco was dry.
The rice and beans were tasteless.
The restroom does not have a toilet seat dispenser so you have to use toilet paper as a seat cover, very inconvenient.

In honor of my mother, who passed away last summer, I decided to have her favorite meal on mother’s day. A chile relleno and taco. La Luz del Día did not disappoint. I love how everything is fresh and they make their tortillas right here.

Food is not disappointing, price is fair in a touristy place like olvera street. This restaurant is also serve as a luggage storage place, which is pretty convenient.
They have a cozy patio that full of flowers and birds chirpping.
You won’t miss anything if you don’t come and you won’t regret anything if you do come.

So the food was ok, we ate inside they did not ask for our covid card and ID to sit inside (and that did become required 3 days ago). The lady cutting the pork did not use gloves and was peeling the meat apart to put it in the taco shells (yes at this point we should of walked out). But with all the great reviews we really wanted to try it. The ladies did get a little attitude when we didn’t want 2 of the shells cause of lent being on it then we didn’t want slaw on it just lettuce and cheese and that irritated her (I think we just had a little language barrier, and we apologized for that). I did not observe no one washing hands in-between drinking etc and making more tacos. The lady cleaning tables kept filling her cup up. When asked about refill they do not give you one but you can pay full price for another fountain drink (that would only cost maybe 5cents in syrup) But they will give you a cup of ice for free, seems ridiculous. Not worth going back. Check out the ones by the vendors selling stuff. These ladies are not friendly

I absolutely love this place. Not pricy at all and the food is good. The ladies who work here are all kind. It’s just the right amount of food. I’ve been coming to this place since I was a kid and it’s still awesome.

I’m giving it 3 stars unfortunately not because the food wasn’t good, it was( rice is nice and soft, beans are tasty not too thick or watery just right; although, the tortillas could have been softer and warmer too cold for my taste so, they got hard) but, because they need to do a better job of keeping the tables clean and the restrooms. I understand that there is no in-dinning seating so with more reason they should keep the place up. Especially because we’re in a pandemic!! Also, there are many little birds perching around the outdoor dinning area which is nice to see but, what if they accidentally poop on your head or food !Plus, they didn’t have tamales.

Got 2 tacos of carnitas this what they gave me. I had to pay $2 for the little plate of chips and got a Topo Chico hard seltzer for $9.12 all together $20 good was ok I ate it cause I was hungry. Service there wasn’t any and as for atmosphere it old not vibrant and modern.

The chicarrion was surprisingly very good, which I think was tripe. The carnitas were also good. The Nogales caxtus salad was rather flavorless. Overall, good common Mexican food rather than great.
