Updated 2025 review -…read more While much has closed at this mall, some new changes have been made as well. From Sears closing to turning into housing and a new hospital, to CVS closing but then having Raisings Canes open up to an awesome bar in the middle of the mall with live entertainment. Also, Curacao is a newer addition, although they offer low monthly payments - items are a bit more on the pricey side. The holiday season brings some amazing festive decor. This mall is still home to places like Macy's, Guess, Lids, Spencer's, Burlington and JCPenney's amongst other little stores, AMC theater. Not to mention restaurants including BJ's, Buffalo Wild Wings, a sushi spot, Starbucks, See's candy, Burger King, and Olive Garden around the corner and Sizzlers and a handful of other places. Chick-fila is also a new addition to the mall. Our favorite frozen yogurt placed closed as we found out one night during a craving. There is plenty of parking, although up close and personal may be a wait. While this is a smaller outdoor mall, it still offers some of the variety of stores to shop at. There is still active construction going on, and it seems like there has been active construction for a few years now. There are electric parking spots and 15-minute parking (although people use this as a regular parking spot).

The holiday decorations at the mall were pretty, well-lit, and simple. I feel like the simplicity made the decorations standout and gave them more taste. The Santa Claus station for photos was not packed at all nor did Santa have any customers; super surprising. The popular feature at this mall is the kids choo choo train that drives through the first floor of the mall. It runs about every 20 mins with so many little kid passengers. Overall, I recommend this indoor mall. The parking is not bad, parking is free, and the food court is constantly expanding. The vibe here was good on this visit. I found a lot of cool and unique gifts from the vendor kiosks in the middle of the 1st floor walkways in the mall. They are a great feature here.

From grocery stores like like Smart & Final, grocery outlet, and Aldi to clothing stores like Ross Dress For Less, Party City, food places both in door and drive thru to Walmart, Best Buy, Office Depot, Dollar tree and a nail salon. There are plenty of ways to enter and exit this shopping center with stop signs or either by stop light. It is conveniently located off highway 54 with 2 exits available by freeway. With so many stores its no wonder this shopping center is quite busy no matter the time of day. Don't worry there is plenty of parking no matter which store you plan on visiting.

There were a variety of places such as Kinkos, Longs Drugs, Shell gas station just to name a few. During the mid 2000s, I liked shopping at Marshall's, Sports Authority, Bath & Body, and dining at Bento noodles. Last week I stopped by to pick up softball equipment at Dick's sporting good store. I had my niece reserve stuff for me. I never got the chance to "shop" around as I was in a rush to pick up the reserved items. It was first time at Dick's sporting goods. I like Terra Nova shopping center for their four entrances to the mall, large parking areas throughout, and shopping location is right off the 805 freeway. I also liked the oversized Christmas wreaths that were hung throughout the shopping center, even past Christmas time. It always nice to see a decorative mall. Most stores and malls are promoting Valentines now. I think most people will agree Terra Nova has something for everyone

There is other food and ice cream locations and a gas station as well as a car wash.

There is a few entrances but only 1 with a light and for the most part.

I mean it is almost a one stop shop, shopping complex... from food, to groceries to gas and extracurricular activities and home goods... their needs to be another exit for turning left... (the other exits you are only able to turn right and a u-turn is far down the road).

I've been to Cotijas, Baskin Robbins, McDonald's, Subway, Vons, the petstore and even the flower shop. I've discovered the açaí bowl place next to subway. I've discovered an in store Starbucks at Vons (that makes better Fraps than the actual Starbucks locations). I've discovered a library across the street. All this, playing Pokémon go in this area. This whole place is loaded with in game content and a lot of players frequent the area while enjoying the local businesses. For many of us, the games presence was the defining difference maker as to why we would come here instead of let's say Otay Ranch Mall or Chula Vista Mall. Or another food location or Wal-Mart or even Costco's. It had a gym that many of us took pride in defending (a gym is an in game location that players Pokémon battle over for territorial control based on 1 of three team factions). Anyways, I thought about going to my favorite taco but ended up siding with cotijas over here since it is in this parking lot and I see that all the stops are being removed along with its gym. Nothing against cotijas, but the main reason that won me over here most of the time WAS Pokemongo. I understand some players hog the parking spots that may effect small businesses (real life greater than gaming life). But I just wanted to voice my opinion on this. This shopping Centre may not lose a lot of money. But this specific one is probably going to be crossed off of my main spending locations. It obviously needs every dollar it can get as small businesses constantly come and go. Like hallmark is already Out of Business here. Your local food spots were great for gamers though. Shutting them out isn't a great idea In my opinion because you miss out on extra business. Especially when your parking lot is a well known reference spot. "The Vons" is all we had to say and Pokemongo players knew which Vons you meant. Now it's just another Vons to us. Well probably migrate to another shopping center or area. But disappointed here for sure as this was my favorite due to the location. You see we wanted to consolidate trips. Have our cake and eat it too. Now it's either a Pokemongo event day or a Vons area day. I can't count how many times we shop here after a go session. Or just come here strictly for shopping before playing on the way out. This is a big rant for sure but somebody has to do it lol. Best Wishes and Thanks.

The fashion Valley Mall tho, is my main mall. This is the mall where I actually do most of my shopping. We watch movies at the AMC theater when we have extra time and get food at the cafeteria/food court area after hours of walking. My son never misses going inside the Laderach to get a free taste, the best chocolate there is. We love going to this mall, especially with my son now being a teenager, we would most likely be doing lots of our shopping activities here especially at his favorite boutiques, like the zumies, Hollister, Rayban, and plenty others I do not recall.... We also love going to The escape room where the mall is. My favorite is the Nordstrom Rack! ;) The holidays tho could get really packed and busy but there's alot of nice things to see and lots of good deals to look forward to.

Endless spots to park! That's a first! Are malls dead now? How are stores surviving? Anywhoo, I still spent more than planned. Damn you, Sephora! Pros: *Surprisingly easy parking (a rare mall miracle) *Huge mix of stores from bougie to budget - Louis Vuitton, Coach, Hollister, Macy's, Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus, H&M, Zara, and Gucci to name a few *Open-air vibe with palm trees; very San Diego aesthetic with a tropical feel; complete with fountains and artistic landscaping *Solid food options with a food court, cafes, and kiosks, Cheesecake Factory, Seasons 52, and my fav, True Food Kitchen *Clean and well-maintained and easy to wander around *There's a lot of variety here to keep you entertained *They have seasonal events that is a nice addition to shopping Cons: *Felt oddly empty for a Sunday..kinda eerie but it may be an introvert paradise *Dangerous for your wallet (you will overspend) *Some stores seem like they're hanging on by a thread *Malls just don't hit like they used to despite the pros- mainly because everything has gone up! Shopping isn't as enjoyable when things cost an arm and a leg. Overall: 3.5 Stars - Still one of the nicer malls around if you're in the mood to stroll, shop, and accidentally blow your budget (Guilty!). Would I come back? Only if my bank account approves!

The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was modern and welcoming. We really enjoyed it. The only inconvenience was the parking payment. You cannot pay with a credit card or U.S. dollars, only Mexican pesos. Since Tijuana is a border city, that feels a bit inconvenient. We had to exchange some dollars into pesos, then come back to pay for parking. That was the only downside. Other than that, we had a great experience and would definitely visit again.
