You are talking about Santee Alley, and this is at the corner of Olympic and Maple in Los Angeles, 90015.
Once you get there, you will see tons of side-streets with plenty of shops selling at retail (menudeo) and wholesale (mayoreo) prices (you need a wholesale license to the extra-super-duper-discount). If you buy in bulk, they'll usually give you a small discount, though.
I suggest you walk around several hours first, before buying ANYTHING. Take a notebook and a digital camera with you. Request business cards.
In the notebook, write down items you saw and in which store they're located, plus the store's address and nearest cross streets (you'll have too many business cards to remember!).
Ask the shop owners if they'll let you take pictures of the clothes you liked - but even if they don't let you, take a picture of the store front where you saw the clothing you liked, so you'll remember what the store looks like.
Once you've shopped around for a couple of hours, decide where you found the best deals and go get them. Take one of those 'shopping carts' that people take to the 'tianguis', so you can carry all your merchandise safely.
Be careful with your purse/wallet and money - my friend got robbed when she was at the flower mart. Thieves know that people go with cash to the alleys!
Have fun!

Maybe you should not ask that dude that answered before. I think he is mimicing you.
