De Soto

Tourist Information

Step out onto East 1st Street and you’ll be surrounded by colorful murals that celebrate Chicano culture, then wander a block north to the bustling Mercado de Los Angeles for authentic tacos, fresh tamales, and lively mariachi performances. A short walk brings you to the historic Boyle Heights Museum, where you can explore the area's rich immigrant history, and the iconic Mariachi Plaza, a perfect spot to watch local musicians play. The station’s proximity to the LA River Bike Path also offers a scenic route for cyclists and joggers seeking a riverside escape.

Local Tips

• Buy a TAP card online before you arrive to skip the ticket vending line at the station.
• Check the Metro app for real‑time train arrivals; De Soto is served by the E Line (Expo) and the Gold Line (L) during peak hours.
• Carry cash or a small bill for nearby food stalls, as many vendors don’t accept cards.
