There are many good stores, and everything looks updated and stylish. It is a great place to shop and spend a relaxing afternoon. We also ate at La Macha, and it was excellent. 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.

OUTLETS on the BORDER! Didn't get to visit all of the attractions/shops but it looked like a great…read moreday trip! The outlets have eateries and sizable stores. We picked up a relative at the Coffee Bean who was visiting from Mexico and it was a seamless pick-up. Parking is pricey, so I would recommend visiting some stores if you're here to meet-up with someone. Lots of folks pass through here from Mexico and vice versa.

I always go to this store and I always shop and left very happy and satisfied. But today it was an…read moreawful day being assisted by a staff claiming she is the Manager on duty, her name is Alegra. Very arrogant and poor customer service and the attitude is so unbecoming of a manager. If she is the manager what and how doea she train her staff to assist customer? This lady should not be in the Frontline. She does not show leadership skill, She came in the scenario like an owner of the store. Someone from management should look into this lady. She put bad reputation to this store because ahe is so arrogant. .

I only have two malls i consistently go in San Diego, the Fashion Valley Mall and the UTC Mall…read more However, UTC mall is more of a leisure... to walk around and kill time, for my son to play at the playground, for the festivities on the holiday season especially Xmas, to have family fun dates and good food experiences at nearby restaurants and the mall I always go to every time I have issues with my Apple iPhone and techs. 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.

I will never come back to Fashion Valley Mall again…read more I was very disappointed with my experience. The mall itself has great stores, but what stood out to me was the number of homeless individuals throughout property. As a shopper, I did not feel comfortable walking around the mall. My two young kids were very uncomfortable, I have to move them from the food court and sit and eat elsewhere. For a high-end shopping destination, I expected a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming environment. Management needs to do a better job maintaining the property and ensuring guests feel comfortable while shopping. Unfortunately, this experience was enough that I won't be returning.

If you filter to negative reviews you'll see that almost every one mentions parking costs. If you…read morecan ignore that or if you're lucky enough to live within trolley/walking distance (as my brother who I'm visiting is) it's a really phenomenal mall. There's a great range of both high-end (Hermes, Chanel, Tiffany, Carolina Herrera, etc) and affordable (Uniqlo, H&M) shopping along with both expensive and fast-casual dining. I love going to Marugame Udon for lunch and grabbing a quick bite, or Haidilao for hot pot if I want something a little nicer. There's also a VERY popular Din Tai Fung here. In addition, there's a food court with some fast food options, a Shake Shack, etc. It's a beautifully maintained and designed outdoor mall with plenty of space to sit and lots of kiosks where you can get coffee or small treats. Overall it's a phenomenal mall (maybe I'm biased because I haven't had to deal with parking though) and I'll definitely return.

I had a very disappointing experience at this mall because of the customer service at Panini Cafe,…read moreone of the businesses located inside. My pickup order was significantly delayed, but that was not the main issue. Delays happen. The real problem was the way I was treated when I simply asked for an update. One staff member responded by pointing at the monitor and saying, "OK?" in a dismissive and aggressive tone. He did not check on the order, explain anything, apologize, or show basic courtesy. I raised the issue with the manager at Panini Cafe, and she was professional and said she would address it, which I appreciated. However, the staff member himself appeared to avoid the situation and showed no apology, accountability, or remorse. This kind of experience reflects poorly not only on the restaurant but also on the overall customer experience at the mall. When businesses inside a mall treat customers this way, it affects how visitors perceive the entire place. Customers should be able to ask a reasonable question about a delayed order without being treated disrespectfully. I left with a very negative impression and will think twice before returning to this mall for food or pickup orders.

If fact, most people probably dont realized that this is a separate outlet mall. The shopping center consists of H&M, several unnamed stores, and a few smaller mall food court options.

The plaza has a few shops already with more to come. The shops available now are Kenneth Barlis Boutique, Azzurra Capri, La Scarpa, and opening very soon, YOGASMOGA for all you yoga lovers! The plaza is three levels with stairs and elevators, has a quaint comfortable outside seating area, large potted Dracaenas, and with a Spanish and Moroccan architecture. There are still a variety of spaces available, so there should be nice new shops and perhaps some new eateries as well. Oh yes, the Jeff Mitchum Art Gallery has just opened too.

This is definitely the party district of San Diego!!…read more Day or night, this area is rather lively. Lots of different shops, bars, clubs, and restaurants here. I was here during Halloween and it was packed with people that night. The best place to park here, to me, is in the large parking garage next to Petco Park. The whole area is best seen on foot anyhow. There are also some nice hotels here to choose from. The Convention Center and the Trolley are also here, and the Embarcadero is just a short walk away!! Had a very good time here!!

Workers were very attentive and helpful. Actually had to go back and buy it bc I couldn't stop thinking about it lol Went to the toy store and found rare stuff my son was hunting for so that was a treat. The staff there were also very helpful and gave my son few free sleeves for his one piece cards. The place is very small, very clean and all the stores were organized. It wasn't very packed on a Saturday, it didn't feel that way but the parking was a hot mess. Lol maybe bc they share parking with the flower field. My favorite is the view of the flower field next door. Really is heaven on earth when you see such colors surrounding you.

Very strange that majority of the sales being advertised at the outlet stores here are "Buy 1 Get 1…read more50% off".. which to me, isn't much of a deal. Where's the 60, 70% off? Lol. I guess not too common nowadays. These outlets in general is pretty standard with pretty empty crowds so it's not hard to find a parking spot. The vibes here feel like more of a casual mall with the food and iced tea shops having more people in line for than any of the retail stores. However.. I was able to find a great deal at one of the stores! Still worth walking around to look and browse through some stores. Children activities.. they have a fun life-sized checkers board to play with and even a train ride.
