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!

The Otay Ranch Farmers Market in Chula Vista, CA is a weekly market held at the Otay Ranch Town…read moreCenter on Tuesdays from 4pm-8pm, featuring a variety of local farmers, prepared food vendors, and craft sellers, with a strong emphasis on international cuisine. 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 :)

We've been here a couple times already since we have our fav stops but the food that we've had like…read morethe tacos, hot links from full belly bbq, gyros, etc has been delicious!. 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 !

We will avoid holidays entirely moving forward or go early bird special. CAPTAIN JACK's SHELLFISH CO.: LOBSTER ROLL: -- not enough of their apparent parm/evo/butter/garlic sauce -- moderately loaded or a tad more with lobster -- nice tasting -- looked better last time and I did not select it RATING = A- GRILLED OYSTERS and GRILLED SCALLOPS still "too legit to quit". Dad did not love the crowds nor the hills, so we let him sit while we did a "power walk" of other vendors. Not a great day or venue necessarily for those with mobility issues.

Wow!! Now THIS is a top-notch Farmers Market (and I consider myself to be a Farmers Market…read moreconnoisseur). If you can get over the fact that parking is a nightmare (tip: get there early and use the free parking lot at the DMV) you'll love every second of your time here. We got there around 9:30am and were lucky enough to snag a spot at the aforementioned lot - about a 5 minute walk from the start of the market. From there, we took about 2 hours to fully explore, including a quick stop at a cute and affordably-priced vintage stop right off the vendors' booths. There is a huge variety of goods, mostly consumables with a few jewelry and handmade goods worked in. The vast majority of consumables booths had samples. I tried balsamic vinegars, loads of dips, some fresh fruit and tomatoes, bread, tempeh, you name it. I wasn't even hungry for lunch after going! If you aren't keen on samples, there are lots of prepared food booths for a full meal. Prices are reasonable. I bought a delicious Mediterranean 3 layer dip for $6 and my brother got a massive focaccia loaf for $10. The vendors were very friendly and helpful. Many (most?) also had business cards with shipping info if you're like me and have a full suitcase already. I would consider this market a must-visit if you find yourself in San Diego on a Sunday. Loved it!

Hillcrest Farmers Market (opened in April 1997) is San Diego's original and largest farmers market…read morewith over 175 vendors. [Hours]: Sunday (rain or shine) from 9 AM to 2 PM. [Parking]: Difficult parking situation, but I got really lucky and found a street parking spot near the intersection of Cleveland Ave and Richmond St at 9 AM. Apparently visitors can park for free at the DMV parking lot (3960 Normal St), but the lot fills up quickly so come early. According to the website, visitors can also park at the United States Postal Service parking lot at 3911 Cleveland Ave. [Amenities & vendors]: The farmers market does not accept EBT. The market takes up about three large blocks and visitors can find produce, gifts, arts and crafts, flowers, clothing, etc. Not many fruit stands offer samples, but other non-fruit food vendors do provide free samples. The market also has a solid food court including one vendor selling coconut pancakes (Coconut & Co. Thai Fusion). The coconut pancakes (aka khanom krok - $4 for 8 pieces) reminded me of the sticky rice from mango sticky rice and these pancakes were actually quite good. [Conclusion]: Our party only ended up staying for 30 minutes, but overall this is a great farmers market for anyone who's looking for solid one-stop food options and not necessarily looking for a produce-focused farmers market.

I will never forget the smell of fresh herbs and so many wonders. Many wise choices if you are looking for the Santa Muerte. Lots of cinnamon to chamomile to everything your mind can wonder.

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.
