They have everything you could…read morepossibly need, from fresh produce, candy, beer, carnitas, and piñatas to so many unique Mexican products you can't easily find in Los Angeles. 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!

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.

**August 2026: Sunday Morning Late Morning Visit**…read more I love visiting farmers markets, and this visit was a success. I was able to pick up some fresh baby blue eucalyptus plants for my shower, as well as lavender oils to really help with my aromatherapy relaxation routine at home. The Hillcrest Farmers Market happens every Sunday from 9am to 2pm and there are usually well over 150+ vendors set up along University Avenue and Normal Street. Parking is a bit tricky, but we were very lucky to find a spot in a nearby neighborhood. Once we got in, we found a great assortment of meats, sauces, dips, and more. In a somewhat hidden part of the trail, there's a bunch of exotic food options to consider, including flavors from Africa, as well as some tables where you can sit and enjoy the food. There are also flowers, veggies, eggs, honey, and pretty much anything you'd be interested in. I think we shopped for about 45 minutes as casual browsers, and it felt like a good amount of time to get a feel for the place. It's a great spot to support small businesses.

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.

As another review noticed, I did not see a ton of produce. Mostly fruit and not vegetables, a couple of vendors with meat or seafood. But I was honestly looking more for the food!! Dog friendly, many dogs in the market and also on the grass lawn along side the market. I love that this market is not crammed in on both sides with stalls, so there is plenty of room to maneuver with your dog and armfuls of food. I parked kinda far but I needed the walk to prepare for eating lol. Meters are free on Sunday in Chula Vista so it was easy to find something :) What I tried today - Local Lemon: Really nice lemonade, limeade or Arnold Palmer base with homemade fruit purees/chunks added. This was all the way at the end from where I came in and it was so worth the walk. The owner provides filtered water for dogs (he made a point to tell me it was filtered lol) and asks if you want the lemonade sweet or not, and offers to adjust if needed. No adjustment necessary on mine, I got a limeade with mango and it was perfect. I want to try other flavors! Absolutely fabulous. Tita Ann's 619: All the classic Hawaiian snack favorites - I saw other reviews mention butter mochi, she had ube butter mochi out and I had to try it. Best butter mochi I've ever had omg. So beyond delicious. She had other great looking items that I will try next time, furikake chex mix, banana + macadamia bread. Sweet lady! Omukoro: Japanese owned & operated! Really nice family operation, the eel onigiri made me feel like mom & dad made it for me :) Huge and delicious... hope I will see them again to try the other flavors! ありがとうございます!! Tamale Fiesta: I didn't try these yet because I'm too full but I got chicken, veggie and sweet corn. I just walked on the treadmill for an hour and I'll need to do another hour so I can slam these in lol. They looked and smelled delicious and other reviews mention them so I have no doubt they will be good. So many stalls smelled or looked great here, but I'm just one person!! The Cajun garlic noodle stand smelled incredible, I walked by it twice and regretted not stopping both times... there was an esquites stand... 2 honey stands... a healthy sourdough stand with almond flour sourdough (?!) Tbh I think I like this farmers market better than Hillcrest because there is a lot more room to move and the vibe is very very chill. I will be back again to try what I didn't try this time!!! Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

I love this little farmers' market!…read more Situated right on a little center divide adjacent to a large park. They have a great variety of foods- fresh produce, pastries, breads, dips, salsas, honeys, and sauces, as well as beverages. Wonderful eclectic selection of food trucks, some jewelry, and even a house plant tent with some gorgeous specimens. Da-Le-Ranch also has a stand with pastured eggs and meats. It's a wee bit cramped, and parking can be tricky, but I just show up right when they open to avoid the crowd.

Located in an…read moreelementary school, you'll see a bunch of tents lined along, selling everything from flowers, fruits, jerky, meat, cheese, and more! Pros: -I love the variety of food vendors that they have here. There were also vegan options available. -there is a shaded seating area that has picnic benches but people also brought out blankets to enjoy the day -some live music was available when I stopped by Cons: -parking can be a bit difficult and since this is in a residential neighborhood, you need to be careful of where you park. It I was able to get street parking not too far away Overall, a delightful farmers market!

Everyone had a bottle and rightfully so, super nutritious and delicous - this farmers market is at a elementary school which is great -parking can be tough but we had parked in downtown Encinitas and just walked over (about 20 minutes)

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 :)

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 !

Farmers' markets bring me absolute joy and this is one of the very best we've been to! It's huge…read moreand spacious, organized and there were so many vendors around! From delicious food, to fresh produce, to the most gorgeous and vibrant flowers, to beautiful pottery, to unique clothes... you name it, they have it there! Make sure to come early as parking can be a bit tricky, especially if you want to park closer to the farmers' market. Once you get parked though, everything is a breeze. They even have tables and chairs around for people to eat at. There's also a playground for families who have little ones! I could never go to a farmers' market and leave without fresh flowers, so of course I had to pick up some from Hidalgo Flowers. They always have the most colorful and stunning arrangements, and for a decent price too. This time, I got a bunch with the prettiest sunflowers. We also picked up the sweetest and reddest strawberries from this one vendor. I highly regret not getting their name, but I will definitely be on the hunt for them the minute we go back. We got a cup of strawberries with some dark chocolate sauce from Strawberries and Chocolate. That was sooo good! We devoured it so quickly, we didn't even get to take a picture of it. One of the standouts for me was the Pork Sisig Rice from Baryo Eats. It was AHHHHMAZING!! It's the best kind of pork sisig that I love to eat--the taste was so good and nostalgic, it took me back to my college days back in the Philippines! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We also got some Paella from Driana Catering/Taste of Spain. It was so flavorful and the rice was cooked to perfection. We were just sad they ran out of shrimp by the time we got some, so we were left with chicken only. We got some goodies from It's Cafe Thai as well--Milk Tea with Boba, Taro Thai Coffee, and the Mango Sticky Rice. All of them had just the right amount of sweetness and hit the spot for us. Lastly, we had some of the watermelon and the cucumber lemonade refreshers, and the chicken and pork tamales from Gourmet Tamales. They were so good, we even took some home for later! Overall, I'm already looking forward to the next Sunday we can stop by this farmers' market!

Stars off for parking and crowds, but we lucked out on great parking and were on the way out when things were getting peak crazy. Now - all my treasures. There was a bread guy. Great breads. Focaccia. Banana bread. Sourdough. Looked beautiful, but unassuming. The deliciousness level - wow! Broccolini, squash, carrots, celery, onion. Then, the berries! Look and try. You'll know the ones you want. Oceanside? Carlsbad? I am on strike as of now and will be hard pressed to make due with a Driscolls berry. Oh - and this magical little orange. I should have bought 5 pounds. I drank fresh OJ while we were there. 11/10. I'm so happy that after an awesome vacation of vacation dates and treats we get to keep it going with some lighter meals. I made tuna salad with celery and onions. Well have grilled veg with dinner. Magical berries all day. The special grilled cheese with gruyere, honey, mustard and all the other little meals il weave my Ja Jolla open air marked finds - incredible. Then, all the things I didn't buy because they wouldn't have survived in the car. Salad. Flowers. Tomatoes. All beautiful.
