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. The variety, quality, and authentic experience make this market one of my favorite places to shop in TJ!

I will never forget the smell of fresh herbs and so many wonders. Many wise choices if you are looking for the Santa Muerte. Lots of cinnamon to chamomile to everything your mind can wonder. Tarot cards too but for some reason I was not allowed to take pictures of those. Candles to burning incense. Cash only and I have no idea if they have bathrooms.

I love coming to this farmers market but because it's always insanely crowded, I rarely come down…read more But on this particular morning, Cako didn't want to walk downtown, so we headed up here. I totally forgot about the market, and told her if we can't find a parking space, we're not stopping. And of course, we found one. The best time to go is when they first open. Everyone is friendly before the heat of the day takes its toll...LOL! Except for the "oh so cool wannabe influencer" whose dog wanted to meet Cako but she just pulled her dog away...Eeeewww! LOL! But it's not crowded and easy to walk through. Cako just lead me down the long aisle and our first stop was True Pet Kitchen. She didn't want the chicken treat but she was all over the salmon one! So we bought a bag...err...I bought her a bag. We then wandered down to Kettner. She then pulled me over to Stark, and the friendly guy offered a duck jerky, which she was happy to take. She then sat down for another, and he obliged. So I bought a bag from them too! We stopped at the Honeymoon Ranch stand for some baked goods! There was a man loading up a suitcase and apparently he bought all the banana bread. We scored our own, which was all for me. Great place to come to, but even better for your four legged furry family. If I come down again, it will be around 7:45, just before they open. Cako Approves!

I loved the açai and the Thai coconut ice cream. They were definitely a treat.!!! There was one in particular that definitely caught my eye and it was MaruKeto Bakery !! The owner and founder Maruca had such a sincere smile and such a warm welcoming.I was excited to try what she makes.!! it was unbelievable I could not believe it was all gluten-free sugar-free and so natural from sourdough baguette to dinner rolls hamburger buns, hotdog buns, to cakes !! such a variety of everything!! I wanted to try it all ! I purchased the Spanish cake it was unbelievable!!! Her presentation , decoration , music and Maruca such an amazing vibe !! If I lived in San Diego I will be there every Sunday ! Thank you Maruca !!!

Swung by and got some steps in this past Sunday and I have to admit, it's my favorite Farmer's…read moreMarket in San Diego. Only one thing I don't care for and that's the parking. But that's pretty common these days, not just for Farmer's Market, but parking in general. Lots of food options and I don't just mean vegetables. You could pretty much have breakfast and lunch here. And enough so you can skip dinner. I almost wonder if there are more food options than other vendors. I didn't count. Don't get me wrong - still a lot of Knick knacks and other items to browse/buy other than food - maybe even something like I grabbed - a western cowboy hat. Finally got me one. Sorry - no pics. Anyway, it's busy, colorful, and fun, and it has that San Diego weekend energy. Definitely check it out if you like fresh food, people watching and spending more money than you meant to.

Today we tried the following: *Teriyaki Prime rib bowl w/pork belly fried rice from Tiger Sticks. This is usually a favorite but today rating 4/5 stars because the meat was a bit tough and it lacked seasoning. *Bacon wrapped Doggos Gus hotdog with the works 4.5/5 stars. *Vegan Coconut Sundae from Cocobomb. Dessert was light and had the right amount sugar 5/5 stars! There's so much great food and desserts. All the vendors are very friendly and some will give samples. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

We've been here a couple times already since we have our fav stops but the food that we've had like…read morethe tacos, hot links from full belly bbq, gyros, etc has been delicious!. The people are always nice and welcoming. I love it ! The only thing for me is that I was wish there was more stalls we can finish seeing everything in maybe 10-15 min depending how fast you see everything. If you haven't , you should go check it out ! It's in a mall. They're open 4-8pm on Tuesday only ! I recommend the "Full Belly Bbq" the moink is awesome, "Suerte" for coffeee and refreshers, and "BomBom" for sweets but surprisingly they're not overly sweet like how some donuts are which is a bonus for me !

There are always a few local musicians at either end of the market strip and if you walk down by the water, there's usually a big group of people in a drum circle and dancing. Parking is brutal. Best to get there at the beginning of the farmers market for a better chance of finding a free spot and not having to pay for one of the lots as they can be quite pricey.

Don't come here looking for a tourist oriented market with food and drinks.

For me, the wide range of dried chile peppers that I can't get in the U.S. for making special sauces was the trick.

During my recent visit to TJ, I wanted to explore one of their popular markets and looked forward…read moreto snacking on tacos and enjoying some drinks. Sadly, this market really wasn't what I expected. Mercado El Popo is really meant to be a local farmer's market and not one that caters to tourists or those looking for an adventure through sites and smells. They sell lots of local items meant for the household along with groceries and spices. Sure, tourists may be able to find something of interest, but the market itself is really not meant for that demographic. Additionally, the market is very small and you can walk through its entirety in less than five minutes. Part of me is glad that its left untapped so to speak from the outside world, but as a visitor I'd recommend passing and exploring other parts of town.

Point Loma is one of those places since it has a certain charm to it. Don'tcha think!? *It's very historical and strongly tied to those who serve or have served our country. Hence the anchor logo and other nautical features you'll spot in the area. Especially since the NAVY is right there in town. *The market hosts many different food and small business vendors all in one hall. Truly a hidden gem and so glad they opened up the space to share with those business owners. *You can visit larger restaurants establishments in the very near vicinity as well. It's touristy and locals favorite hot spot vibe is all rolled into one fused place here. *Very Family and fur baby friendly! *Very close to some nice hotels as well! Hope you enjoy as much as I do! Cheers!

My friend and I tried three places here, and most of them were great. The wonton noodles from Slurp actually had a heaping big portion that we were struggling to finish. The platter we ordered from Asado Gaucho, while tasty, were too overcooked for our taste. The empanadas from Panana were to. die. for. If I come back, I am 100% grabbing some to go. We had asked the employee for recommendations and they were all spot on. If you have to try anything in this hall - highly recommend their empanadas!! I regret not buying more to take back home LOL.
