Mariachi Plaza Station Car Park
The station is served by Metro, but no station parking facility is identified in the published Metro parking information. The rail platform is under 1st Street at the intersection with Boyle Avenue, with the main exit at Mariachi Plaza (wikipedia.org). Drivers should therefore treat the station as a transit stop rather than a destination with its own commuter garage.
The station address is 1797 East 1st Street, placing the entrance in the Boyle Heights street network. Metro lists nearby parking facilities by rail line, including a 340-space lot with free parking, divided into a north lot with 253 spaces and a south lot with 87 spaces (metro.net). That facility is not identified as a Mariachi Plaza Station car park, so it is better considered when planning a wider Metro journey rather than as an on-site option.
Street Parking Around the Station
The station sits beneath 1st Street at Boyle Avenue, where the main exit opens onto Mariachi Plaza (wikipedia.org). That position puts curb parking within a busy commercial and residential area, so a space near the entrance is not equivalent to a dedicated station bay.
For drivers approaching on East 1st Street, the practical distinction is important: a curb space and a private facility are separate choices, with different controls and enforcement. Parking at the Mariachi Plaza Directory and Service Center is not available on site, according to SpotAngels, which identifies the closest parking at 117 Bailey Street in Los Angeles (spotangels.com).
Commuter Choices for the Station
Commuters who need a guaranteed space can use a monthly garage listing 0.8 miles from the station for $275 a month. Two separate secure garage spaces are listed at that distance and price, giving regular drivers a covered option away from the platform entrance.
Daily and hourly options suit less frequent trips. An outdoor lot 0.9 miles away costs $21 a day, while two outdoor spaces at the LA Kretz Innovation Campus, 1.0 mile away, cost $10 an hour. A Union Station lot 1.1 miles away costs $8 an hour. These listings provide daily, hourly, and monthly formats, so the right choice depends on whether the trip is a single ride, a full workday, or a recurring commute.

Union Station is identified as the nearest station in the Metrolink listing for Mariachi Plaza (metrolinktrains.com).
