    My favorite part of the fair for 20+years. The best fish tacos ever. I missed them so much last year.

    The Del Mar Farmers market is one of the smaller ones in San Diego.  One good thing is it is easy…read moreto find parking.  There is a parking structure next to it. There is an orchid vendor setup in front of city hall to indicate there is a farmers market.  It was $25 for the big orchids.  Lovely. The Juicing Gents had some delicious juices for sale.  I tried the blood orange guava, and passion fruit.  Wow!  There was an incredible burst of flavor from the blend of juices.  I have been a fan of POG juice since I visited Hawaii and this is the boldest and freshest version I have ever had.  I added some ice to it from my Tommy Bahama concoction maker and made a slushie.  Amazing drink.  Next time I see them I'll try some more flavors. 2nd visit. I tried the Juicing Gents again.  This time I had the tangerine/guava.  Loved the rich, sweet mix of tangerine and guava flavors.  Delicious.  Next time I'm gonna try the tangerine, passion fruit and guava. Strawberries were at peak ripeness and I loved the sweet strawberry flavor.  They were $15 for 3 packs. Le Rendez Vous French Bakery had baked goods.  French baguette had a thin crunchy crust and a nice mild flavor.  Very good but not on the Bread & Cie level. Del Mar Farmers Market is great if you are looking for a farmer's market with the essentials that is easy to get in and out of.  Next time I want to try the safron chicken and the honey.

    This market is very cute but definitely small compared to other ones around San Diego. There were a…read morefew produce booths, 1-2 bakeries, a sourdough vendor, kebabs, African cuisine, empanadas, a coffee spot, and a jewelry vendor. I also saw lots of tropical fruit! You can see everything in less than 30 minutes for sure.

    I arrived about an hour before opening because I knew parking and traffic would be crazy. There was…read morealready a line forming but I was still able to find parking easily and got in right at opening. There were lots of food and drink options to choose from. My friends and I shared most of the items so we could try as much as possible. Almost everything was very expensive, especially on top of paying for admission and parking. I was disappointed with the egg salad sandwich, but I enjoyed everything else we tried, including the lumpia, ube mochi, mango sticky rice, tanghulu, and watermelon slushie. It was a fun experience with friends and a good way to try a variety of foods and desserts.

    Dont waste your money. Went to the echopark thinking that with the costs there would be something…read morefor the kids to do, and maybe some descent samples. Any samples $5-6 bucks are usually not the primary food the vendor offers. We got dried out turkey legs, spent way too much on fatty bone marrow, and nachos. The sushi pizza was interesting, but not true sushi. Nothing for the kids to do thats not going to cost a ton more. fans were present, but not even plugged in. One tent for shade, and not nearly enough seats or even trash cans. $18 a ticket $12 parking Every plate more than $20 Every drink more than $20 3x baby bottles of minute maid lemonade with unlimited refills=$81. $10 for ice. $16 for an oreo shake If you like spending money and listening to the kids whine, this is the place for you. Go spend your money at a restaurant or 3, at least you will go home with more than heatstroke.

    Outstanding Food and Exceptional Service!…read more We used Bekker's Catering for our son and daughter-in-law's wedding, and they did a fantastic job from start to finish. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed everything. The Bekker's team was also wonderful. The staff was friendly, professional, attentive, and very accommodating. They were flexible with our requests and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. Most importantly, the bride and groom were thrilled with their menu choices and with the entire experience. Bekker's helped make their wedding reception exactly what we had hoped for. We were so happy with everything and would definitely recommend Bekker's for a wedding or any special event!

    I learned about Bekker's from an event for the La Jolla Newcomers Club a few years ago. Before…read moreleaving, I made sure I took their card. They impressed me with their professional service, especially around the hors-d'oeuvres, which they passed frequently. No need to wave to them from across the room. Their pacing of the different platters was perfect. The food at that event also stood out above anything else I'd ever eaten from a catering firm. Our event was no different in every regard. The staff moved efficiently through the room, serving, then clearing. I couldn't believe we could get out of there with a clean venue as quickly as we did. I particularly appreciated the help we received transporting food and wine to our cars. A job very well done. Special thanks to our coordinator, Kimberly, for facilitating connections with the florist and wine merchant.

    1st Time at TinyFest…read more TinyFest was a good experience! If you've ever wondered how people can live in such small spaces (i.e vans, tents, shipping containers...) you'll definitely want to check out the festival. You get to see the size of different living units up close. Inside, they have sales of items that are useful for living minimally. Some of the units had an odd odor, which I found out later that the units on display are currently being lived in. The food was pricy, but expected. Overall, a good experience.

    What a fun event! My daughter and I enjoyed attending our first TinyFest together on Saturday, and…read morewe had a blast! There were so many tiny houses, bus conversions, van conversions, ambulance conversions, campers, and travel trailers to see. It truly is a community. San Diego is still beautiful this time of the year, and the fairgrounds were a great place to host an event of this magnitude. Several of the tiny homes and conversions were available for sale. Every time we stepped into a home, I was amazed to see how different it looked from the outside. There was so much space on the inside. It truly is something you have to experience in person. After years of watching Tiny House Nation on HGTV, YouTube videos, and subscribing to Tiny House Newsletter, it was finally time to experience it ourselves. We were not disappointed. It was great to speak with the DIY homeowners and get their takes on how long it took to build. Some of the homeowners had the cost of the build posted, while others might have included additional information to follow them on social media sites. It was a worthwhile experience. I definitely recommend TinyFest to anyone seriously considering a tiny purchase. It's also a great event for someone just getting their feet wet if they're on the fence about a purchase. We saw several food vendors, although we didn't partake in any food at the event. There was also a woman walking on stilts wearing a black and white costume. It was pretty cool. This event showed my daughter and me that you're only limited by your imagination. My key takeaway was: 1) make your living space comfortable for you! Your style, your design. It doesn't have to look like someone else's idea of home. That's what I love about tiny living; it's custom. It's not a one-size-fits-all. It's an exciting adventure that I look forward to taking. Soon. Thank you, TinyFest, for such an incredible event!
