At the beginning of the pandemic we wondered, “Can taco vendors withstand the coronavirus?” as street vendors struggled with low sales during the shutdown.

A year later, Times photojournalist Wally Skalij takes us around the Avenue 26 night market in Lincoln Heights, where weekend crowds have been growing over the last few months in search of food and nightlife as more people get vaccinated and restrictions are lifted around the city.

For starters, the market’s namesake, Avenue 26 Tacos, has tacos for $1.25, and if you’re still looking for a reason to go, check out the photos below.
