    The food here is incredible. There is such a good variety of local restaurants that offer cuisines…read morefrom all over the globe. They have just about every type of food you could imagine. It is quite crowded between 6-7pm, but if you go a little later it's not too bad.

    I still love Sunset Market. It's become a summer tradition for us. Every summer we go at least…read moreonce. It's super easy to get there on the sprinter- don't even bother trying to drive down there and find parking. It's a total madhouse. There's something for everyone here. Crafts, jewelry, even a psychic reader.... A lot of people confuse this with the Farmer's Market- that's on Thursday morning. I haven't been there in years! This is called Sunset Market because it's in the evening! We've been there so many times that we know where out favorite food stands are. My oldest son loves the birria mac and cheese tacos while my youngest son loves a certain french fry stand. My partner and I love finding new food stands and trying them. They're often overlooked...and that's a shame! There's a fun kiddo area if you're bringing little ones- I've seen bounce houses there. Pro-tip- there's a line of portable restrooms by the kid bounce house section. There's also live music with local bands and a few high tops there. They go very quickly. Lots of people just grab a seat on the curb and eat. Every year, it get more and more crowded- people, strollers, dogs...it's nearly impossible to walk down certain food heavy streets to see what's down there. So, we try to time our trips to arrive as soon as the market starts and then leave when the crowds really start flowing in. And every year, it gets more and more expensive...so be prepared. Cash is king there, unless you don't mind paying service fees on credit cards and even venmo).

    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 !!!!

    great idea... the $5 cover charge is basically a game token for usage at boomers. i hope it comes…read moreback but i was disappointed with the selections to be honest. i wasn't too crazy about the centralized drink system but i guess boomers needed to make a profit too. whatevers. it was a bummer that majority of the trucks had ran out of food due to majority of the trucks shelling out their dishes the days before at other boomers. 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.

    Support your local taqueros! Seriously, right now (7/2025) is a great time to support. I mean any…read moretime is a great time to support, but now feels like support carries a bit more weight. Found this gem of a taco spot that is just as good as the best I've had anywhere I've had in Southern California. They're usually open late, the portions are pretty darn large, and the prices are more than reasonable. They have a great assortment of toppings and salsas and make their tortillas fresh. This place pretty much checks all the important boxes for me personally when it comes to taco spots I love. I came here late at night and the line wasn't too crazy. Not as lively as more popular spots I've been to, but there were a few people in line. You do get the vibe that this spot is a favorite among locals. I ordered a vampiro (crunchier tortilla with a layer of caramelized cheese that holds the meat and toppings) with asada and two al pastor tacos. Usually, I can eat that easily, but with the portions here, it was a bit of a chore. The smoky flavors and fresh toppings and salsa were all on point. The horchata I got to wash everything down was also very good. A true gem of a spot in the Inland Empire.

    The food is so delicious and a bang for the buck. The locations are always filled with people…read morewaiting in line. You've got to go taste it for yourself.
