Large Open Air Mexican Market?
Coming to LA to a visit a friend and we have heard that there is a very large open air Mexican market .... primarily looking for dried chilis. Maybe it's not open air
...but just a huge Mexican market.
A google search produces nothing.... any leads would be appreciated.

I suspect what the OP is looking for is Mercado Olympic, which I didn't know about but now need badly to visit.
(ETA: I realize now I think I have visited inadvertently when a good friend was living in DTLA without knowing that it had a name and was a regular thing)
(ETA: I decided I should link to this article for the OP and suggest a visit to Guelaguetza, too.)

There's several Hispanic supermarkets in SoCal, including Northgate, Superior, and Vallarta. I've driven by the huge Plaza Mexico near where the 710 and 105 meet in Lynwood, and suspect they may have some chile vendors there too. https://www.plazamexico.com/
