The Sunnyvale Art & Wine Festival celebrated its 50th year this past weekend, bringing good eats,…read morelive music, art and merchandise booths, and just a lovely atmosphere for individuals of all ages. The event was set up along East Washington, near Historic Murphy Avenue, and stretched to East McKinley (near Target), with the main food vendor and entertainment area taking over an entire parking lot and block. Seating was limited. But there were more than ten food trucks/stands offering pizza, bbq, vietnamese cuisine, ice cream from Mister Softee, and more. There were also drinks stands selling lemonade and alcoholic beverages (of course, wine). I snacked on some savory filipino empanadas from Tita Weewin's and a delicious sushi taco from Aki (a vendor based in SF). I also perused the amazing variety of merchandise tents and displays lining the streets, including some of the most beautiful collections of artwork I've ever seen, especially one of my faves, CatZooArt as well as as a vendor selling awesome vintage menu art. I enjoyed the live music taking place throughout the festival. On the main stage, Ryan Woodward & J Stewart played a variety of songs on the guitar and vocals, like Tom Petty and Dave Matthews Band covers, followed by the Sean Carscadden Trio entertaining the crowd on Saturday afternoon. Other tribute bands were scheduled to take the stage throughout the two-day event too, as well as street performers such as Bob Culbertson, a musician playing lovely tunes, including the Harry Potter theme song, on the chapman stick, a unique string instrument I was unfamiliar with until this day. In addition, the event offered art workshops and fun activities for kids, like a spider jump bungee trampoline and water ballerz (giant "hamster balls" for humans to climb inside and walk on water). No shortage of options for things to see, do, and appreciate. I certainly had a good time.

I've gotten the beef, the pork and the chili cheese! They have all been so good! My favorite? IF I must choose... it's a toss up between the cheese and the beef!

They served freshly shucked oyster, tostadas, ceviche, tacos and cocktails every Saturday morning from 9am - 1pm. The owner was very friendly and quick. I've heard that he has his stand set up here for years. Portions were a good amount and prices were reasonable. The Kumamoto and Miyagi oysters were very clean from debris and you can taste the sweetness from them. They also offered a variety of condiments which includes their own homemade sauce. The fish ceviche had a nice sour kick to it and it was pretty loaded. I finished everything I ordered at a nearby table fairly quickly. That's to tell you that you should come stop by and try some.

This used to be one of my go-to taco truck spots but over the years the quality and experience have gone downhill. Burritos are now around $16, which might be fine if the food still felt worth it, but it doesn't. The flavors aren't what they used to be, and everything tastes much more saltier than before. The service has also changed. The staff up front isn't very friendly anymore, and since COVID they got rid of the salsa bar (before it used to be self serve outside their food truck). Now if you ask for extra salsa, you're charged $1 for two tiny containers, which just feels petty given the prices. I think a good salsa can make or break the Mexican food. I really wanted to keep loving this place, but between the cost, the taste, and the overall experience, it's just not worth it anymore. Disappointing after so many years of loving this spot

It's been years since we visited and decided to come back. We got lucky with parking but it can be chaotic. The parking structure and spaces are small and you will inevitably get blocked trying to leave or get in from people waiting for spots. There is a good mix of new and old here and the booths and stands are in general very organized and orderly. I also love the shaded covered over most of the parking lot, it provides some protection from the elements. Some highlights form our last visit: -There used to be a vendor here that sold really nice wool socks that were soft and thick. We weren't able to find him anymore, it was a middle aged man with a mustache, if anyone knows the name please shoot me a message. -A really nice guy was selling pokemon card repacks with cusotm packaging and my kids loved them!

I attend maybe two or three times a year, whenever I'm looking for special, vintage treasures, or the occasional seasonal plants or succulents for my garden. You really can't beat the variety and prices here. This visit I found two gallon-sized plants for $5 each, a purple kale plant for $3, and 11 mini succulents for $1-2 each, plus a pretty glass bowl to hold an orchid plant. I spent nearly 2 hours here and only managed to walk through half of the flea market! It's fun to see people walking through the parking aisles sometimes pulling wagons or carts to hold their many purchases or cradling their new orchid plants. If you're hungry, there are food trucks near De Anza's Euphrat Museum. Come early for best selection. You'll definitely get your steps in here!
