Timeline
19:13
Pick up dinner at Mexico Lindo. The sun sets at 20:28, so arriving early ensures you have time to eat before heading out. The restaurant is open until 22:00.
19:43
Walk to Alviso Adobe Community Park. You will have time to explore the interpretive displays and the replica dairy before the light changes. The park opens at 10:00, so it is ready for you.
20:28
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WNW. While the park faces generally west, the open space allows you to catch the final moments of daylight on the historic structures.
20:58
End the evening back at Mexico Lindo for dessert or a late-night drink. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the kitchen is still open.
Local tip
The park is free, but the walk from the restaurant is about 15 minutes. Check the route if you are not familiar with the area.
Check before you go
- Alviso Adobe Community Park is open We-Su 10:00-16:00. Note that the park closes at 16:00, so you cannot stay inside for the 20:28 sunset. Use this plan to visit the displays earlier, then wait outside or nearby for the sunset view, or adjust the timing to a day when the park hours allow evening access (currently they do not). Alternatively, skip the interior visit and just use the exterior grounds.
- Mexico Lindo is open Mo-Su 09:00-22:00.
