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.

Another wonderful Persian restaurant discovered! My husband and I were looking for a place to eat…read morebefore going to the AMC next door and I'm so happy we found this restaurant. At first glance, we knew we were in for a true authentic and great meal when we saw other Persians dining at the restaurant ;D Vibes: Namino shares a parking lot with other food establishments but on a Tuesday afternoon, we didn't have trouble finding a spot. The restaurant gives a mom and pop vibe, where they warmly welcomed us in. I loved that the lady gave us a bell to ring when we're ready to order. There were more than a handful of 4 person tables available inside. No outdoor seats. The guy who took our order and served our food was welcoming and our food came out within 10 minutes. Food: -Beef Koobideh Kabob ($15.95): skewer of suuuper flavorful beef served on a bed of saffron rice with a side salad and half a roasted tomato. I saw one of the reviews here that said to put sumac powder on the rice-- thank you for that! I asked for tzatziki sauce on the side and it paired well with the kabob. -Beef Kabob Sandwich ($11.95): my husband ordered this and he loved it as well. If we weren't in a hurry to catch a movie, I would've loved to try the baklava. Overall: A great authentic Persian restaurant located in La Jolla. You won't be disappointed!

TLDR; A small, no nonsense cafe serving absolutely mouth watering Persian dishes. Quaint ambience…read moreand old school city service (you just gotta flag people down) but the food is highly recommended. Namino, located in the holiday court lot (next to the Whole Foods plaza) is a small space looking like an east coast diner. They have a small menu and don't mind if you help yourself to drinks and a seat. The owner literally just told me to shout out my order when I was ready. No nonsense, quick, and it worked well. No complaints there. Service 9/10 Fesenjoon: That day's special. This dish is phenomenal and a hefty portion. The stew itself was not shy at all about flavor; an appreciable sweetness and tart flavor coming from pomegranate, an earthy blend of spices (for sure can taste bag and cinnamon as well as toasted walnuts. I'm sure there's more) and the chicken is clearly well seasoned. The stew itself is not to thin or thick, resembling a texture slightly thicker than a Japanese style curry. The specials are served with a side salad and saffron rice. The salad is dressed with a yogurt based dressing. Light and refreshing. Nothing surprising. The saffron rice is lightly seasoned with saffron, mostly white rice. The big kicker here is tableside condiments include sumac, and that is a huge bonus. Pour a liberal amount in your rice and thank me later. Gotta love a Persian restaurant with sumac! Food 9/10. The tea served is a spiced black I believe. May be an acquired tasted for those used to English breakfast. I'll definitely be back. Namino is great for a quick lunch and the food is fantastic. Hopefully I'll be able to try more of the menu soon!

La Familia Catering is a new vendor at the La Jolla Open Aire Market. I was pleased to learn that…read morethey were serving breakfast, and omelettes of all things at a Farmer's Market! I just had to have one, so I ordered the vegetable omelette with a melee of veggies and a side of breakfast potatoes. You can choose fruit for a side as well. They don't offer toast, but that was not a problem given right next door was a Prager Brother's stand, so I picked a some bread there. If I remember correctly, the omelette was around $10. The omelette came with a very good amount of sauteed onions, spinach, peppers, mushrooms, and some cheddar cheese. Other than needing just a little seasoning, the omelette was very well made. The eggs were fluffy and light, the mushrooms and onions were tasty and tender, the red and green peppers with cooked but crisp, and the cheese was in there somewhere. More cheese would of been nice. The potatoes are made to order, so they arrive piping hot, the were well cooked with a crisp exterior and soft center. They offer bottles and house made hot sauces and salsas. The house hot sauces were simple yet good. Customer service was friendly and welcoming.

I do think, however, that for as much liquor as there is flowing, the food offerings left more to be desired. In fact, one of the tables was even turning away guests they recognized and had a 'one per person' rule on a small one bite portion. I don't see why, at the very least, they don't have food vendors with full sized food offerings for anyone willing to pay a little extra because the small bites to spirits ratio is a little skewed.

I attended other wine and food festivals prior to this one so I had high expectations. I'm a cocktails girl and that's what drew me in...little did I know. How can an alcohol-related event not have a good balance of food vendors?! Food is really important to have available. There were only 4 food vendors with over 20 spirit vendors. So more about the 4 food vendors, what was ridiculous was one offered soup and ran out halfway into the event...another one offered hummus with carrots both were on the lighter side when paired with alcohol consumption. The heavier foods that were served...potato rolled tacos and pasta. I couldn't believe the pasta vendor was actually being stingy with their food when folks wanted seconds trying to saturate themselves (smh). As a result, I gave only two stars...one star for the venue and one star for the fun time despite the food situation.

Looking out and seeing this one truck, alone, with a line of people, I was like "Ooh, Ohh, look!" The staff/window gal/cook/chef/owner were all very friendly. It was just a nice experience walking up to the window. Nicely done, Seoul People. The service was extremely quick. I finished paying and she was like, "Here ya go" as she handed me a plate. WOW! That was fast! The Seoul Man Bulgogi was very tasty. It was hot (temperature) and nicely plated with fresh vegetables and garnish. Nicely done and a definite re-order for next time. A goodly portion to share with someone too. The rib-eye was flavorful and cooked just right. Being a local Hawaiian kid from the islands, I love rice and this was some good sticky rice like I grew up with in Hawaii. Nicely done. The tables are nice, but very dirty and unhealthy. If I had my own food truck there, I would go out and wipe them off before I opened and every once in awhile after, just because I'm that kind of guy. They were actually kind of disgusting and we were very careful with our 5yo son and what he was touching. It looked like there was a lot of bird poop on the tables. Birds near food in San Diego? Go figure.... ;) I realize that the tables belong to the city, but I, personally, would clean them off before I opened. Just a thought. Downside. There are not a lot of trash options, only one. When we were all pau, I looked around and there was only one trash can nearby and it was overflowing. I think it has nothing to do the the Seoul Man Food Truck and may be a San Diego city thing, but it looked bad and was kind of a bummer to see that trash overflowing. I would have not known of the Seoul Man Food Truck was here, but I will definitely check their location the next time I'm in San Diego. Very good food! Oh, and don't forget to redeem the $2 off any entree, because I did since I just now saw it as I posted my review. :(

I wish I had taken pics to show the vast difference. If the food in their pics matched what we were served, I assume my review would be much different. That said, I stand by my comments and still think $25 for one small scoop of "beef" is not a great value. For future events, please prioritize quality control and maybe market your menu differently? For example: - Sandwich Combo (1 sandwich and 1 side for $XX) - Southern Platter (choose 1 meat and 3 sides for $XX) - Meat only (1 meat for $XX) - Sides only (3 sides for $XX) It would be more straightforward and less confusing for customers if the menu was written that way. I'd also like to add that the price would be less of an issue for me if the food was actually good. ________________________________________________________ I tried their food at Vegfest Santa Cruz today. I was really excited because they had a long line, we were only about sixth in the queue, not at the end. The people ahead of us mentioned that they were at another event in Berkeley and completely sold out before they got to the front, so they wanted to make sure they tried it today. The line moved extremely slowly; they eventually felt bad and went around offering free cans of kombucha for the wait. When I finally got to the front, I asked a question about the menu. They had brisket listed for $25, I wanted to know if it came with a side or if I had to buy them separately. The woman confused me. At first, she mentioned that I could get three sides with the brisket for $30, but then she clarified that it was actually $25 for brisket only and that I would have to pay $10 extra for three sides. I explained that I only wanted brisket and mashed potatoes, not three full sides. I needed more time to think, so I let my friend order first. My friend ordered a spicy fried chicken sandwich, which was also listed at $25. They told her that it came with one side, so she chose mac and cheese. Then, she asked why I wouldn't be able to get brisket and mashed potatoes for $25 instead of paying $35 for brisket and three sides. They told me that I could get one side and brisket for $25. After 40+ minutes of waiting, we were excited to eat. Unfortunately, the food was extremely underwhelming. The brisket was dry, and some pieces had way too much char. The mashed potatoes gave boxed mashed potato vibes, they were unseasoned and bland. I wish they had some sort of sauce to help flavor the meal, but since it was sauceless and bland I only had 3 bites and gave up. My friend enjoyed the chicken sandwich, but she said her mac and cheese tasted like nothing. It was basically plain pasta with no cheese flavoring or seasoning. I sampled it and agreed that it was really bland. They could at least add some salt, pepper, and paprika if they're going to call themselves Southern Fried Vegan. By the time I got to the other spots I wanted to try, both the Omakase and corn dog were sold out. I'm so sad that I wasted so much time waiting in line for overpriced bland food that I didn't even finish. Since the only flavorful item was the chicken sandwich, I can't recommend this place to anyone and regret waiting in line.
