This place is the lowest of low. From charging vendors to park, to raising rent unexpectedly, the Modesto Flea Market has gone down the drain. Back in the day customers could enjoy free parking and the affordability of what the flea market has to offer. But now With strict rules, rent raises, and new younger management there's been no room for the average vendor to compete or even make a living. This Flea Markets Management has not only forced my family to lose but cost many people their livelihood. Vendors are now paying $15 each day to park, regardless if handicap or not. And on top of that are being demanded to show up the entire weekend. This means even though you pay monthly if you don't come on Saturday your spot could be sold because you didn't come the entire weekend. Before you come here and overpay for the same food you can get anywhere on crows landing, I'd weigh out your options. I will simply end this by saying there's plenty of hard working people out there who deserve your money before this place does! Please think twice about supporting them!!! read more

Esa grande y tiene un poco de todo pero el servicio al cliente es pésimo le preguntas algo ni te atienden y aparte algunos vendedores son muy deshonestos , no todos !! pagas y si no chequeas a tiempo te dan otra cosa totalmente diferente Alo que pidiste .. read more

Why do they have to announce when the vendors rent is due? There are better ways and technology to do this. It is annoying and unprofessional, businesses should already know when their rent due if not tell them there is a late fee if not due by a certain date. There is no need to announce and let everyone know of your business. read more

I am very unhappy about my experience today, we get there at 9:00am on a cold day. I thought that because it was cool I will see people wearing mask, but to my surprise half of the vendors don't wear masks and most of the people walking there don't wear a mask. I was very scared not happy at all about the situation, after one hour we left not coming back. read more

As flea markets go there is one is pretty nice for its ample parking, many entrances and orderly exits. It seems people are courteous of the fact thsy 100,000 people are both entering and exiting at the exact same time! It doesn't take long to get in and once you do parking is relatively close even distance parking. Inside you have the usual assortment of all manner of knick knacks answer whatchamacallits, clothes/toys/bargain divers galore. I like taking my nephews for the walking and ice cream while we browse the used xbox games. It's great for them to get out of the house and see other people exist outside of you tube. Prices here are good and there are some solid vendors with good products just have to find them case they do move around sometimes. Lots of food that is good if you have strong stomach, sweets galore and what not. read more

El Rematito - Flea Markets Near Me - Modesto, California

This is the worst flea market we've been to and we've been to a lot. First of all it's like your waiting to go into an amusement park. We had to park across street at police station and walk over since the lines were so ridiculous to even try to get a parking spot. Inside it's dirty and grimy. Yellow jackets and bugs all over fruit and food. So many damn people can't even walk without bumping into someone. Nothing cool here AT ALL! All same consumer bs. I can't even imagine how this place is dead of the summer heat. Never again will I come back here read more

I love this place. Ok yeah very crowded but still so much fun. I love taking my son there he loves the walk and i enjoy the food there. We always get a bag of fruit with lemon and chile its just so delicious. my son loves the churros, we usually like having tacos from the taco truck, and my son always gets a toy there. Thir fruits and vegetables have great deals. the only bad thing is finding a parking space, yeah they built a new one, but if u dont get there before 9 am...good luck on finding one. We now usually park on Crowslanding road closer to like Service Rd....yes its a long walk but worth it instead of spending hours tyring to find a parking inside, or u can pay the people that live by there $5 bucks for a parking space (lol). I really enjoy it, i might go this weekend..lol read more

This place is good to get cheap stuff or services, and you can find some quality things too. I like and dislike this place. LIKES: -Low prices for services like window tinting, hair cutting, etc. -Low prices on some items that would normally be expensive such as a brand new king bed for $200 which I bought and I LOVE! Back supporter as well. -Produce section!!! I love getting fruits and veggies here because they are fresh and straight from the farm! They have almost all fruits and veggies along with nuts and dried fruits as well. -Food!! Some of the taco trucks are really good, not so sure about the Chinese food trucks. -NO TAXES :) -FRIDAYS & SATURDAYS! Not as packed lol DISLIKES: -Lies! One common thing you will find here is that people will lie to sell you something, I hear it all the time. Best example is the ANIMALS. I would suggest you don't buy an animal here unless you aren't picky or know a good vet. Everyone selling a puppy here always says "THIS KIND DOESN'T GROW" I hear this alot with the puppies and bunnies. They tell everyone this because hey, who doesn't want an animal that stays small right? But they always sell the most basic animal don't believe the lies. If you hear someone say "teacup" "mini" that's a complete lie here, it's most likely NOT. -Cheapskates! Some will sell you things full priced or more than the original cost so shop around. Sometimes you might find something you need and at a fair price, but at this flea market you will find it somewhere else for cheaper. Just keep looking and know your store prices so you don't get ripped off. -VIP Parking.. A BIG JOKE. That parking lot used to be free about a year or 2 ago and all of a sudden it's VIP? No thanks. I rather walk lol Over all: Bring cash, know your prices, don't bother with VIP parking unless you need it, don't buy pets here, do buy produce here, and you best days to go are fridays and saturdays :) read more

I love the variety of vendors!! Reminds me of a smaller version of San Jose fea market

I think there are more food vendors than anything else, for sure one in each row. The produce is fresh and you will find the same price everywhere. Need a haircut sure, I think there are two maybe three there. You can find most things here, new, old and used. This is not the place to impulse buy, know your prices, as some of the things are over priced. Bring comfortable shoes and a bottle of water, maybe a hat also. read more

This fleamarket is a joke they have signs say you cannot come in without a mask!! However, there's nobody controlling who comes in with or without mask. You really need to get ur shit together and follow protocol. Poor management here. Coronavirus19 is spreading like fleas in this place!!! read more

Came for two outer boxes for the note 4 got a great deal 25each... you can get good deals here you may have to look around a lil but you can find them. read more

El Rematito - Flea Markets Near Me - Modesto, California

This is one of the larger flea markets in the area. On one of the more questionable sides of town it's not a flea market to go to alone or leave your car unlocked. There is plenty of stuff to find. Everything from clothes to electronics, to tools, and even live animals. This is definitely a place to be a skeptical shopper. There are plenty of knock off merchandise of name brand products. There's also occasionally items acquired by questionable means. It doesn't hurt to give an item of interest a second closer look. Plenty of food vendors. A lot of people let their children run amuck. Be prepared to dodge children not paying attention. Plenty of people that won't move out of your way when you're walking also. I like most rational adults will walk down the right side of a walkway to avoid walking into people but between people just stopping with no warning and people walking down the left side like the thoughtless people they are you will probably spend half your time here just trying to avoid unintentionally running into someone. read more

El Rematito, translated into English is The Little Flea Market, is located on 3113 Crows Landing Rd, Modesto, CA 95358. It is fairly easy to arrive there, but what makes it difficult is the traffic. They have a VIP parking section that costs fifteen dollars, and normal parking that costs five dollars. If those sections are full, you can park across the street, which has extra parking spaces, which also charge five dollars. The flea market is very big and therefore didn't have a chance in the two hours that I was there, to visit each and every vendor. The food trucks are all scattered around the flea market and have chinese food trucks, american food trucks, and mexican food trucks. There are only three bathrooms and are also scattered around the property. I went last Saturday I commited a big mistake: to go to El Rematito Flea Market at around eleven A.M. As we were stuck in heavy traffic, about two blocks from the Rematito Flea Market, we could see that we were heading into a mosh pit of disaster and insanitation. There was extremely loud music, people smoking everywhere, dirty food trucks, and loose dogs roaming all along the property. Half of the flea market was paved while the other half was dirt. As a result, when it rains, everyone would be stepping in mud and getting dirty. It was very busy and parking was very hard to find. We had to park far from the flea market because there was literally no parking. From my personal experience, I recommend that you should avoid going to El Rematito Flea Market on Crows Landing because it is very unsanitary, badly organized, and has terrible parking. The major problem with El Rematito Flea Market is the sanitation. According to Joe G., "This place is filthy and just horrid. Make sure you get a tetanus shot before going in. Place is disgusting" (Joe G.). Joe is 100% correct in that the Flea Market is extremely dirty. As I was leaving the Flea Market, I asked a young American woman: What is your biggest concern with regards to this Flea Market? The young Mexican-American woman, named Emily Mariah Cruz, replied: "The restrooms. They always have a horrific stench, dirty, and never have soap to wash your hands. Also, the restrooms, at least for the womens', always have a long line of people waiting to go in." (Cruz). The bathrooms are extremely filthy. In the men's restroom, there was trash everywhere in the room, the screws holding the stall up were all loose, and had no soap. Because of this, that means that everyone that you interact with, while walking around, didn't wash their hands, if they used the restroom, which then means there are tons of diseases and bacteria thriving at the Flea Market, waiting to get someone sick. Another major problem with the Flea Market is the poor organization. The food trucks are all scattered around the entire property. According to Aric C., one problem he notice is "... people that won't move out of your way when you're walking also. I like most rational adults will walk down the right side of a walkway to avoid walking into people but between people just stopping with no warning and people walking down the left side like the thoughtless people they are you will probably spend half your time here just trying to avoid unintentionally running into someone." (Aric C.). The lanes in the Flea Market are chaotic. There are people going in every direction, minding their own business and running into vendor stands and people. One thing that stood out to me the most is all the kids with these little poppers that when they are thrown to the ground, cause a loud crack! Many kids would throw them at people's feet in and run away. Also, there was very little shade along the property. For the most part, you are walking with the sun beating on your back because there is only a small section that has a roof to protect you from the sun. Lastly, another major problem with El Rematito Flea Market is the horrific parking. It seemed like everyone was looking to start fights because they all wanted to leave and would honk at other cars when they wouldn't let them through. The parking area is a dirt surface and therefore will make your car very dirty. I had to pay five dollars and still had a ten minute walk to get to the nearest vendor. Overall, if you are thinking to spend some time with your family and get a little taste of Mexico, I highly recommend that you avoid El Rematito Flea Market because they are very unsanitary, terribly organized, and lastly, have horrific parking. read more

Let me start by saying, compared to the markets in other areas Ex: East Bay Area . They have adequate parking and people are courteous here in Modesto. Both while waiting for parking and inside the market. My husband & I I are regulars @ this flea market. They carry a little bit of everything. Food, produce and food trucks, coffee, cold drinks, ice cream, you name it.. Large variety of everything. Both Retail and used items. Household ,clothing ,tools, toys, music & more! I have purchased purses, pajamas, toys, hair bows (love the hair bows!) plants, a jacket & pants. Just a word of advice, look @ the quality of things. Not all are good quality while others are! Also check sizing, clothing tends to run small. We always have fun. I am a VERY happy customer!!! read more

ZOMG! I love this place. It's a near ritual to go every Sunday. They finally built some parking lots, but it's still bonzo gonzo when it comes to finding a space. Remember the days of parking at the Stanislaus County building? Okay, maybe you don't..... Anyhow, there's a wild selection of stuff here and it's not for the uppity, I mean after all, there's some rummaging and scavaging to be had if you want to find the treasures. Vendors are mostly very reasonable (I don't see how they make a profit actually) and I like it because it's less competitive then other flea markets. Taco trucks and Chinese food are available for the thrill seekers and risk takers. read more

I bought pants here and I love them...until I spilled some raspado on them. Good thing I bought a washer and dryer! Anyways this place is awesome but needs a heater for the winter and some AC for the summer. Mother-nature amirite! read more

The flea market/swap meet was a pleasant surprise. The produce, legumes, used to brand new anything you could want or think of for the best prices, bar none, that I have come across since moving to the Valley almost 10 years ago. I don't want to forget the drinks, churros, & snow cones that could put to shame any American made ones I've ever come across. Sundays are more laid back with a lot more of a garage sale/ antique-ing feel to it, with every type of tool, bike +bike parts, and all kinds of neat & bizzare odds and ends. Monday has that but w/ the focus more on new brand name items, new and used computer technology, and livestock auctions. I got the best eyebrow job w/a string for a couple dollars & the best smelling essential oil perfume I've ever come across for a few bucks. Bottom line is U GOTTA GO!! read more

Took my nephews today, for their first time ever. It was terrible. When we get to the $5 parking area, I ask the lady taking money if there were any free parking areas, she says no so I pay it. Later on during the day I found out there was free parking on the other side. I wasn't tripping. It was fine for a while, a lot of the vendors were very nice & the boys were have a great time. Then, we get to this booth in the B-building towards the right side of the area. My nephews seen a toy they wanted to check out, so I let them pick it up. The guy running the booth wouldnt stop staring at us. He ends up coming over to us & directly talks down to my boys & says, "If you're just going to keep touching everything & not buy anything, get out." Like wtf? They touched a toy & who are you to talk down to anyone else's child. Are you that much of a pussy that you couldnt say any of that to my face. I was mad but decided to take them out without causing a scene. As we leave I let him know that he was rude. When we get to another boothe I noticed that my boys were acting different so I ask them why & they said that they just didnt want to get yelled at again. At that point I couldn't just let it go so we go back & the guy was standing out so I go up to him & say, "Actually there's a problem, I didnt like the way you talked to my nephews, it was rude. They're children & they wanted to buy a toy but I wouldnt spend a dime on shit you have here, they touched one toy & you tell them they need to get out? I guess I'll be reporting your booth about this." He then says, "Do it then." Okay lol he's lucky I had 3 kids with me or I would've lost my shit. Honestly, moral of this story is, fuck that place & some of the garbage people that sell there. read more

Ehh.. It's okay. Very crowded and most "new" stands are pretty much the same. It's a real pain trying to find a parking spot unless you get there super early, although they do have a nicely paved parking lot. read more

My hubby and I come here every weekend. The taco truck by the pony rides is the best! Prices are always great. Just wondering if the ponies ever have water.. In all the times we've been over the course of 3 years or so we've not once ever seen them have water. Summertime is terribly hot here.. read more

Hello, does anyone know the bird guys right when you walk in by VIP parking? Need to get a hold of them ASAP. Please let me know, thanks!

Been coming here since I was a kid. My parents loved getting stuff from the flea market to put around the house. For me I just loved eating all the different mexican-food in this flea market. And in the hot-summer I would always get a cold snowcone icee. Parking on weekends can be hard so think about where you park. read more

It's a great place to get cheap deals on hardware, tools, clothing, vegetables, animals, etc. It also has a lot of kiosks and food courts. The atmosphere is friendly for family and friends. On Sundays they have live Spanish music (Banda) playing, it gets really full on Sundays so I recommend to go earlier that day. They also have free parking; the only con about it is that the free parking is located in a parking lot of DIRT. But they have a separate paved parking lot where you pay extra; It's a five dollars entrance and it's suppose to be "closer," which in my opinion is the same distance from the other parking lot to get to the main site. I just hope they don't start charging extra for the entrance like they are with there "exclusive parking." More over, they have the dirtiest restrooms, I compare them to the restrooms left at the end of a concert. They should be ashamed that they have hundreds of people coming in every weekend to have nasty dirty restrooms. That's the main reason I rated this place a three star. I think it's proper practice for a place that sells food to provide clean facilities in order for costumers to wash their hands for food safety purposes and to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria in order to have a healthier environment to eat. read more

Seems like a sketchy place at first but it's really not. It has a huge variety of vendors. Something for everyone. Good food.

One day my family and I went to the flea market it was a nice warm day. Beside the parking lot being chaotic and a mess we found a parking spot. We waited patiently for it and even signaled for it with our turn blinker. When attempting to park a vendor jump in front of our vehicle and claiming that he was waiting for it to expanded to have more room for his items he was selling. Being a public parking it first come first served and told him that spot wasn't for vendor. After a while of exchanging word and him not understanding we got the security involved just cause the vendor was getting aggressive. The security response time was quick. When they arrived we told them what happen and all. The head security then seem to get offended when It was first come first serve and that the vendor could not expand more then He was issued. He then proceeded by threatening us to call the authorities and accuse of trying to running over the vendor when clearly we stop when he jump and started banging our car. We said that there was a camera right in front and to call the authorities. When he realized that the security the. Told us that it would be better if we left! I honestly didn't want to involve the authorities for a stupid and rhetorical problem like that and end up leaving! It was a bad experience especially for some one like me that like to go and just enjoy the day walking and looking at potential items to buy!! read more

Very greedy new owners. Parking is a joke there. Be careful how you park you will get towed away.

This place is great. Finding a parking spot after 9am will take about 20 minutes. So park on the street. If you are looking for cheap everything this is the place to be. El mandolin 2 Taco truck has the best carnitas tacos I have ever tasted. I recommend you stop by and try them out. You won't be disappointed. read more
