Good store to find all sort of stuff, if you will be asking for freshly Corn masa, make sure to give them 30/40 min they take quite a while to make it. I been coming back because the dough I always look for they always have it here. read more

My husband and I are staying at the Hyatt. He walked down to this market to check it out as I was…read morerecovering from surgery. He came back to the room extremely happy toting bags of goodies. He found tortas, burritos, tortillas, salsa. He said everyone was very nice to him. He doesn't speak Spanish (not even a little). He has given up so much for me this week and to see him happy about a torta and nice people made me feel good. The lady making the meat made it fresh in front of him! Now I want some rice pudding so I might send him back to see if they have any!

I always stock up on fruits, pantry items, and my absolute favorite: their dried shrimp. It's incredibly fresh, flavorful, and one of the main reasons I keep coming back.

"Do you think I like to walk around the San Ysidro streets looking at "beware of people crawling and sneaking into Ameican soil" signs on every block? "Yes, I did; just to get a laugh and chuckle on the road signs. Without doing any research of the final southern city of California, my stay was very brief. But I did ran into this unique produce market. The produce market sells fresh produce items and fresh meats, domestic and imported items that is the best of both worlds. Don't expect the aging and dirty store to be as nice as Andronico's or Draeger's, the store sells simple foods for simple needs. One item that I saw at the market that I don't see back home is: Hostess Choco-dile. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/8FLZpwigscGCP5XM7tFBcQ?select=40nvtknpir6chKf3PzgYww Yes, I came ALL the way to the near Mexico-border and spend $.59 on a single Choco-dile...

Tacos El Herradero is a local taqueria offering tacos made with quality meats and ingredients. My…read morefavorite was the Campechano, a mix of suadero and tripa on corn tortillas with onions and cilantro. I also tried the adobada (marinated pork sliced from a rotating spit), carne asada, and chorizo. The latter two were served on freshly-made thick, chewy, yellow corn tortillas, which were themselves a highlight. At each table came salsa, lemons, radishes, and cucumbers for pairing with the tacos, each of which was delicious in its own way!

So if for no other reason, try this place for the cheap Sangria, then prance over to the choice of either Fish Mart for some awesome fish tacos or cocktail de camaron or next door for some yummy traditional tacos.

We paid for the order and were given a receipt with a 4:30 PM pickup time. I got there at 4:30 PM today, picked up the rosca, and headed home. When I got home, we cut into the rosca and they gave me one with no cream which normally sells for $24.99 ($20 less than the one with cream). We took the rosca back, showed the guy behind the counter the receipt and the original rosca that he gave us, and he told us that we can come back at 7 PM to pick up the new rosca with cream. My wife and I went back at 7 PM and we were then told that the rosca was just being put in the oven and to come back at 8 PM to pick it up. We didn't want to deal with going back and forth anymore and asked for our money back and the gentleman behind the counter with a white earbud returned our money. No apologies were given at all! Because of this experience, my wife and I will not be returning! We ended up going to Moreliana Bakery directly next door and got our rosca from there and it was delicious!
