after reading CONRAD R.'s review about how crowded the CLAIREMONT MESA event was (yesterday in real…read moretime), we moved back our 2 pm ETA. got there a little before noon after grabbing some extra ATM cash. we were early enough that parking wasn't a big problem -- hard to say how tough finding a place got for folks arriving late. thought BOOMER's did a pretty good job keeping things organized. trash cans were full by 2:00 pm and there weren't separate containers for recyclables. a little troubling since they were selling COKE products (for $3) and water in plastic bottles. the bathrooms got pretty scruffy but i would guess they were stretched to the max staffing wise. good flow of information over the PA system (like when they opened up the dining area in KIDOPOLIS so we had a place to sit). ate till we were stuffed (will review the food trucks individually) and played a round of miniature golf with the credit vouchers for the $5 admittance fee. oh, and i'm not saying there were a lot of YELPERS there but every time i turned around somebody was whipping out their cell phone camera and posing with their lunch. we got there early, left late and had a great time !!!!

But hello, there is a costco across the street. I'm sure you could've found some more stuff there!!!! Needs more seating but solid effort.

They cook the tortilla just a little bit longer, the asada was a little crispier and the friies weren't the typical generic frozen ones. Tip - El Habanero works the Wild Barrel site often.. They even have a beeper system where you don't have to hover around the truck until your order is ready.

This year's 6 to 6 event at the Orange County Fairgrounds seem to have less vendors both on the…read morefood side and on the product side. The plus side this time around is that they have a completely covered area to eat your food. Picnic benches are laid out with a full awning. Parking is still great. Prices have gone up for both the tickets and parking so be prepared to pay $15 for parking and $15 to get inside. Services dependent on what vendor you buy your food from some will accommodate the request and others will not. Of course if there's no accommodation to the customer, they've lost my business.

So FoodieLand acquired 626 Night Market in October 2025 and this was my first time visiting since…read morethe new corporate ownership. [Parking]: $15 per vehicle for on-site parking just to enter the OC Fair & Event Center. [Admission]: Our party purchased the same-day tickets and paid a $16 per person entry fee. [What to expect]: The market was approximately half food vendors and half arts / crafts / gift vendors. There were solid craft and gift vendors, but not too many art vendors. The food was extremely overpriced ... a simple appetizer = at least $15+ & a filling meal = at least $25. The only real positive? There was a mahjong area that offered free lessons. The performance stage was alright. [Food]: Our party ended up getting only 6 pieces of soup dumplings (aka XLB) from Dumpling Dream for $14 and a cup of gelatea from Boutcha for $7.20 (one of the most affordable and best item to get at the market). [Conclusion]: If I ever come back to 626 Night Market, I would probably stick with the Arcadia location as parking is free and the admission fee is slightly cheaper. I am still having a hard time digesting the fact that getting into the market cost $30+ before even buying any food if I come here alone and I would also need to spend another $25+ just to feel like I had eaten a legit meal. I am good with this one-and-done visit.

The tacos were really good -- flavorful, fresh, and exactly what you want when you're craving something simple and tasty. The tamales were also excellent, soft and well-seasoned. Everything also felt reasonably priced, which is a nice bonus! Friendly service as well. There's outdoor seating right by the stand, making it easy to sit down, take a quick break, and enjoy your food before getting back to your shopping extravaganza. Overall, it's a convenient, tasty, and reasonably priced option when you want a quick taco fix between stores.

It's my child's favorite spot, and we usually all get something to eat. However, today (10/25/2025), we each wanted something different. I had already purchased a taco elsewhere and decided to add a little salsa from here. My child had just ordered food at this location, and his meal came with a cup of salsa, so I didn't think there would be any issue. However, the lady at the counter scolded me, saying she needed to charge extra. I tried to explain that the salsa came with my child's meal, but she interrupted, grabbed the condiments away, and continued raising her voice in front of other customers. It was extremely embarrassing and completely unnecessary. After this encounter, I will not be returning to this location. I plan to share my experience publicly on social media so others are aware of how the staff treats customers. Avoid this place!
