My husband and I are staying at the Hyatt. He walked down to this market to check it out as I was…read morerecovering from surgery. He came back to the room extremely happy toting bags of goodies. He found tortas, burritos, tortillas, salsa. He said everyone was very nice to him. He doesn't speak Spanish (not even a little). He has given up so much for me this week and to see him happy about a torta and nice people made me feel good. The lady making the meat made it fresh in front of him! Now I want some rice pudding so I might send him back to see if they have any!

"Do you think I like to walk around the San Ysidro streets looking at "beware of people crawling and sneaking into Ameican soil" signs on every block? "Yes, I did; just to get a laugh and chuckle on the road signs. Without doing any research of the final southern city of California, my stay was very brief. But I did ran into this unique produce market. The produce market sells fresh produce items and fresh meats, domestic and imported items that is the best of both worlds. Don't expect the aging and dirty store to be as nice as Andronico's or Draeger's, the store sells simple foods for simple needs. One item that I saw at the market that I don't see back home is: Hostess Choco-dile. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/8FLZpwigscGCP5XM7tFBcQ?select=40nvtknpir6chKf3PzgYww Yes, I came ALL the way to the near Mexico-border and spend $.59 on a single Choco-dile...

I also tried the adobada (marinated pork sliced from a rotating spit), carne asada, and chorizo.

At each table came salsa, lemons, radishes, and cucumbers for pairing with the tacos, each of which was delicious in its own way!

When I went back to the store to complain I was told it was my bank' fault, it was the system fault, bla,bla, bla One of them commented" it happened to me several times" We ended with "we can't do anything, talk to your bank" The two people who had such poor attitude were management.

This hole-in-the-wall grocery store has been part of my life when I was raising my kids (now in…read moretheir early 30s), so there's something special to be said about this small neighborhood market that's been part of my life. I have lived practically down the street and around the corner from Farm Fresh. It was close enough to walk, but I preferred to drive whenever I needed to buy groceries. This place may not be the best looking market, or have all the bells and whistles, but it has always come through for me with most of the basic grocery essentials. My usual purchases were fruits, veggies, meats and chicken, salsas, and pastries. Every now and then, I'll grab hot food dish from their kitchen/deli. And, during emergency cases, I have bought milk, bread, cereals, sandwich meats. Truth be told, Walmart has taken over in that department now. The produce area is always kept stocked, organized and clean as with the other areas of the market. Although the isles are close quarters, there's room to move around should you use a shopping food cart. Staff are usually busy either stocking and organizing all areas or the store. Floor is also kept clean and free from potential safety issues. Almost forgot, fresh tortillas are made here at Farm Fresh. Overall, price is fair. Kitchen/deli should think about not raising their prices too high. Lastly, please don't compare Farm Fresh to Northgate or Manalos grocery store ...not fair.

We were looking for an ATM machine to withdraw pesos and shop for food. The items are reasonably priced, with the exchange rate around 20 pesos to a dollar. There were rows of salsas and tortilla chips next to the juicing bar where we picked up a container of salsa made from a molcajete cucharon (stone mortar and pestle). It was perfectly delicious with our makeshift flour tortilla burritos and tortilla chips! They have assortments of breads- bodillo, telera, boliqueso, and even baguete (bagettes). Pick up a galleta (cookie) or cocada from their bakery! We puchased a combination of sweet breads and savory plain breads. Love the produce here. We were deliberate to make a fruit salad and gathered papayas, grapes, and cactus pairs. With their hard seeds and luscious red fruit meat, you can't easily find cactus pairs in the states but you can find it here at Calimax! A nice offering of produce and conveniently located in Tijuana, this Calimax is worth stopping by for your next trip south of the border!
