I always recommend doing a quick walk through to see all the options available. They have over 35+ vendors and a great variety of food from pizza to BBQ to ramen to empanadas to Latin to sushi and seafood. I tried Wicked Maine Lobster and ordered a crab sandwich with fries. This was the perfect portion and the crab tasted fresh, and the fries were perfectly seasoned.  The market has plenty of seating inside and outside. We opted to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather! The market is located near the airport and you can see the plans overhead. It was a little loud for talking sometimes but you get used to the plane noise quickly.   I always enjoy visiting this spot when in San Diego!

This location is open 11-6 daily and its pretty big. This market has many different vendors selling here and so many unique, vintage items here and I was completely absorbed in this store! I found some really great items including a nice birthday card, two pairs of very unique earrings, a fantastic gift for my mom and an adorable cat hat (see my profile photos) and all for a very reasonable price. This place is also very hip and trendy so great to come here and get some ideas of how to put your ensemble together. And, this has local sellers so you're supporting small businesses. This is a total win-win situation for me and you'll find me checking out more of their locations soon. There's also one in Mission Valley, yippee!

Well after reading the other reviews regarding the eyewear branch of this business, my experience…read moretracks. I'm here to vent about a negative experience I had after purchasing one of their products from a pop up shop in Scottsdale, AZ in the Painted Tree which for those who don't know, is a building containing multiple small business owners' goods like an upscale flea market. Long story not really short: I bought a cute gift for someone who loves our state and noticed when I got home that the "c" in "The Grand Canyon State" was erroneously lowercase. On a cleaning spree, I tossed the receipt though I had just bought the item that day. Didn't think I'd need it. So I tried to return it at Painted Tree cause it was effing with my senses and the girl at the register stated no refunds without receipt. Figured that might be the case but took a chance anyway. Later, I'm thinking well maybe the person who created the piece realized the error and corrected it in subsequent iterations and would either exchange it or create a new one right quick. Now you might be thinking, "How much could that thing have cost? $10? Why bother?" Well it only cost $20, to be exact, but that's not the point. The item was flawed, it was a gift, and a person like me cannot unsee or not care about things like this. It's a curse, for sure. So I emailed the biz asking if they'd consider replacing the item and the initial response (because I omitted details) was "what's wrong with it? lol" So as a Gen Xer, I immediately feel like I'm dealing with a) someone young and b) someone who doesn't understand when "lol" should and shouldn't be used. But Ok, no big. I respond, "the "c" in The Grand Canyon State is lowercase and should be uppercase." This person's response was simply , "really? Lol." So at this point I know I'm dealing with an individual who is young, unprofessional and who doesn't give any f**ks about their customers, as the previous reviews prove, as well. To be clear, I knew it was a long shot to get a corrected version. And I'm not giving this flawed gift to my friend, regardless of how nice the design. Anyone could have a bad day but judging by previous reviews, there is a clear track record and disregard for those who would help make this person's business successful if they just changed that attitude. But nope! This business owner was rude, condescending and clearly couldn't care less about their customer or worse: the quality of their work. And while this review may split Yelpers' opinions, I stand by mine. I'm going to let it go after I press send. But bottom line is someone who would respond this way to a customer trying to support their business should be relegated to bad entrepreneur jail until they've learned how to treat people.

I called the Calacas and they told me they can send me a replacement this was April 2022. I was told "Those are ocean I don't have those in stock" "Give me couple days and we send them on the mail " They then asked me if I had VENMO and the cost would be $30. I was. It excited about that, but I do love the glasses. So I agreed to pay. I sent the money the next day. Within 5 minutes of receiving the VENMO information. 2 weeks later nothing. No Glasses. No Follow Up. NOTHING! I sent a text and the response was "We send them out" "Are you in San Diego" I asked if they had a tracker NO RESPONSE A week later. I reach out again. Their response is: "who is this?" I explain. They say "What's your address I think we did send them" I gave them my address They said "I'll check" NOTHING! NOTHING! 5 days later I check in They ask "How did you make the payment?" I send a screen shot Response "what frame are you looking for?" I call on the phone and re-explain everything. 1 Month Later Nothing It's now been over three months since my first call, since I paid for a replacement, countless calls, text messages and promises from Calacas and still NOTHING!!! In June I sent one last plea.... Please send me my glasses. I do not want to have to write a poor review. NO RESPONSE Please stay away from this company. They made promises to me and stole my money.

I got an Oto and a pea puffer, and the prices seemed fair compared to other places. Unfortunately, the experience didn't go as well afterward. The employee didn't ask if I wanted to choose the fish myself (maybe because the tanks were high up), so I just trusted their pick. Tonight, I found a visible parasite hanging from my Oto, which was really upsetting. I was also given an adult pea puffer -- not sure how old -- and now I'm having to quarantine him to see if he's just old or sick. I really wanted to love this store because of the selection, but I wish they paid more attention to the health and handling of their fish.
