Very family friendly market…read more We went on a Sunday. The live music just finished there first set, but there was classic rock blastin' in the meantime. Plenty of food options... not much parking that's convenient. You would best overshoot the Walmart parking and after their last entrance on Mesa St., park, and then walk back to the Market. The vendors are super friendly and I certainly didn't feel any pressure to buy anything, but there was a lot of quality stuff. It's not entirely overwhelming, and you can see everything they have and try anything you want in about an hour's time with no rush. All the vendors are ready for contactless payment, but they take cash too. if you need cash, an ATM is close by. The food trucks are towards the front, and the vendor tents are well organized into columns along the center of the market. Everybody from the vendors to the market goers were all friendly and at around noon, the market was bustlin' but not overly busy. We bought some farm fresh honey. The kids were amazed by the 3D printed creations, the freeze dried candies, and the desserts available at the market. The kids also were entertained at the Build a Pen vendor. They spent a good 10 minutes deciding on the various bobbles to personalize their new pens. it was fun.

We had the opportunity to check out this market recently. I didn't think it was as big as it…read moreactually was! They have all kinds of foods and items here. Some things I saw while I was there: Food trucks, snacks, cookies, handmade items, art, plants, etc. My bf bought a plant and a small handmade pot. I bought an engraved pint glass for a relative's birthday. The lady I bought it from told me she also takes custom orders. I thought it was a good price ($15). All of the vendors had masks on. It seems like it's a bit hard to social distance because the space is kind of small. I felt pretty comfortable since everyone I saw was wearing a mask and it's held outdoors. There was a lot of snacks I wanted to buy. Some vendors had some delicious looking desserts, especially cookies! Yum! I'll definitely stop by again. All of the vendors we bought from were nice and helpful. This market is usually located in the Hobby Lobby parking lot on North Mesa. It's usually there every Sunday between 11 am and 3 pm. They sometimes switch locations. It's best to check their website uppervalleymarket.com and/or follow their social media @uppervalleymarket to stay up to date on what's happening each week. I would definitely recommend and plan on coming back. I need to get my hands on some of those cookies I saw! Why I left without taking some home is beyond me! This is a good place to come if you're looking for a unique gift for you or a loved one. Treat yourself...or someone you love! Let's support local!

Okay, I just died and went straight to vintage heaven. This place is the treasure of El Paso…read more Every inch of Fun Funky Fab Vintage is pure magic -- the curation, the vibe, the finds -- all of it. It's upstairs above a brewery/coffee shop in this super cool, historic area tucked right under a bridge. The whole setting has that moody, artsy night energy -- outdoor seating, live bands, vendor events -- total creative hub vibes. Now, the shop itself? Unreal. The owner helped me pull together a full vintage look -- outfit, jewelry, everything -- all within my $100 budget (seriously!). He was so kind, helpful, and just totally got my vision. The pieces here are insane: mid-century modern furniture, incredible glassware, one-of-a-kind clutches, vintage purses, watches, kimonos, and the most fabulous collection of vintage jewelry and Barbie pieces. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen and full of personality. If you're into vintage, this is your spot. A total find in every sense -- from the shop to the setting to the people who make it shine.

A great experience even though it was drizzling. The light rain made the weather nice. Every person…read moreI interacted with in every shop I visited was so welcoming and kind. I tried a new snack at Frontera Coffee Co. It was fun to try something new even though I have visited the outlet mall many times. I felt so adventurous! Frontera is definitely eclectic. You can order coffee, tea, pastries, and items like elote or in my case loaded Doritos. The loaded Doritos were a medley of flavors: peanuts, queso, cucumber, jicama and more all in one bag! Very unique. I recommend The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso.

We dropped by to check it out...busy on sales day weekends…read more Everything is all set up for Christmas Shopping. Santa is already in play and the lights are out. Plenty of everything out here, from Nike to Banana Republic, it's a well set up outlet. Folks are friendly here, both crowds and the store help. Old Navy is having a 50% off most things sale this weekend. The kids enjoyed some Annie's Pretzels, but they have plenty of other food vendors on the complex. It's clean, plenty of parking and not much walking from the lot to the stores. This place was poppin'

Got all my favorite clothes from there. Been shopping there since 1995. Always hope it's open…read more Clothing of all sizes & creeds. -dd :)

First time at this thrift store. Found it by total accident…read more Found several awesome pieces for awesome prices! They have everything by color and not sizes which I don't like but can get used to. They have a kind of creepy guy who was obviously their "security" because he was walking around trying to look like he was shopping but obviously wasn't. They only take cash but do have an ATM machine that charges 4$ I think. Take cash! Overall I really enjoyed the store and loved my finds.

What a fun shop highlighting some local artisans including the owners behind this mercantile shop…read morewho hand pour their own candles. Everytime I come to El Paso, I always end up swinging by to see what they have. This place is great for gifts for those of my loved ones who are from El Paso. On my most recent adventure, I had the chance to pick up some candles and linen spray. The names were super fun but the taglines really made me chuckle. Hope to see this shop exist for many more years. Everything is priced very well for the most part and the team here is always friendly. Take the time to go through all the tables and explore the products.

Walking through the shop gave me several "I can't believe I'm seeing this again" moments, which made the experience even more fun and nostalgic. I found some incredible pieces, and after visiting other vintage stores, it really became clear how much more value and quality Barrio Vintage's items have. They accept Apple Pay, and parking is convenient with available street parking or a nearby paid parking lot.

Nice store with lots of clothing options. The prices are great and the racks are fully stocked…read more Sadly didn't find anything for myself, but the friend I came with left with a bunch of great pieces. If you're shopping for Jnco Empyre style super baggy jeans this may not be the place. But, I have a particular style so I feel that most people could find something they love here. If there was more skater clothes then this place would be awesome. I saw some DC boxes in the back so it seems like they're working on it. Anyways though definitely recommend, worth checking out for sure!
