La Plaza Cocina, museum dedicated to Mexican food, opening in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, California -- A museum dedicated to Mexican food is coming.

The museum, called La Plaza Cocina, will explore and honor all things related to Mexican cuisine - past and present.

It will also dive into the cuisine's deep relationship with Los Angeles through a variety of programs, cooking classes, lectures, workshops and culinary festivals.

The facility will be located in La Plaza Village, a complex now being assembled within El Pueblo Historical Monument near Union Station.

It will open sometime early next year.
