I've been going to the 626 Night market every year for the last couple of years. Although I feel…read morelike prices have rose pretty significantly in the past couple of years this is an event I'm always excited for. It is peak summer where you are able to be out in a comfortable summer night and browse what feels like any and all food there is. I thought this year was especially great with the DJ and the location. Previous years they always had the DJ tucked away all the way in the back but having them front and center of the event was a great call. Always have that awesome music in the background added a lot to my experience. Some of the standout thing we got was Japadog which is a wagyu hotdog that will make you rethink what a hotdog can be. We got a truffle katsu sandwich there too which is as fabulous as it sounds. Also had salt bread which was especially exciting considering I have been craving them ever since visiting Korea. Lastly, I got a fried Reece's cup which I have been in the hunt for some time since they seem pretty rare, so of course that hit the spot. Overall, this was an awesome 626 night market better than previous years. This is something I'll continue to look forward to every year!

Full Disclosure: I had never gone to 626 Night Market before this year, so my review is from my…read more626NM experience on Friday, August 14th. First of all, the festival's check-in went smoothly and quickly. I bought these tickets in advance about a month ago online, so we just showed the QR codes at the gate and walked right in. Secondly, the majority of the festival's food stalls were Asian or Asian-inspired. There were Korean BBQ, Japanese ramen, Thai street delicacies, Filipino lumpia, etc. We tried every little appetizer, noodle bowl, and rice concoction that could fit into our tummies. And every single food item was delicious! We would absolutely come back to this yearly gastronomical festival again. (626NM has been going on for 12 years.) Be prepared to come with an empty stomach. You will not be disappointed. Definitely come hungry. In addition to the festival's food being the main attraction, there were non-food stalls selling a variety of jewelry, clothing, baseball caps, toys, etc. The music artists and/or bands were all fantastic too. 10 out of 10

But this is very good in many ways, it's their own taco, their own unique way. Tito's is not pretendig to be the Mexican taco, but their own style and they are absolutely great. I never thought I would like any cheese, specially cheddar, on a taco, but Tito's mastered it. Their salsa is not insanely spicy, but mild and really tasty. Their quality is really uniform, so anytime you go, your tacos and salsa will have the same great taste. I can only give five stars to someone who mastered tacos that way. Now I have to run and get mine!

Pasadena Farmers Market was a delightful find. What a gem! I came here to buy oranges. I ended up…read morebuying more than just oranges. It was not a surprise actually. Farmers market is set up next by a high school. Parking is at the front of the high school. Do come early because parking is limited based on what I could tell. A good variety of vendors from all over Northern and Southern California. They were all super friendly and nice. You may find fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, juices, organic goods, non-food items, and so much more. Some vendors offer free samples so you can taste before you buy. I found some of the best oranges I have ever eaten from here. I've only been here once. I haven't had a chance to return, but I do plan to come back to pick up some more sweet and delicious organic oranges. Thank you Pasadena Farmers Market!

There are also vendors who sell seafood, meat vendor, olive oil, honey, flowers, plants, hummus and pita (and they give lots of samples!) eggs, pasta and more. It's not huge or overwhelming, which I really like. Only a few "food" vendors, so not a place to go eat like some other markets I've been to. Everyone is always very friendly, and most accept Venmo or Zelle.
