Reyes (1813–1863) was a Los Angeles businessman and grandson of Juan Francisco Reyes, the first alcalde (mayor) of Los Angeles. Ysidro Reyes acquired half of a Mexican Land Grant called Rancho Boca de Santa Monica, splitting with Francisco Marquez many acres of land.
Ysidro Reyes lived on the Rancho Boca de Santa Monica, in the Santa Monica Canyon, working a large tract of land with his father that extended to what is now Hollywood. Additionally, Ysidro Reyes had a business selling asphalt from the La Brea Tar Pits to the people of Los Angeles, who used it for their roofs.
The Ysidro Reyes Adobe was the first adobe home built in Santa Monica Canyon, erected in 1839.
