This was must smaller of a place than we realized. There were a few cute shops to look at and some live music in the center, which was nice. Overall, doesn't seem like the kind of place to hangout at for a long period of time. The place itself wasn't kept clean. However, I did end up buying some Blueberry Cacao jam from a local shop that ended up being delicious! Also, it is a must to go to La Estrella Bakery. Do not miss this gem! Other than that, there's not a big reason to come here. read more

The wonderful thing about coming to Mercado San Agustin in Tucson is that it's contained- but in a relaxing way. This outdoor market is small enough that you can cover the whole place and make a day out of it. It features a nice mix of boutiques, artisan shops and cafes all nestled around a courtyard creating an inviting feel. My kid and I enjoyed a smoothie and fresh pressed juice on a gorgeous warm morning. Even if you aren't shopping, you can still grab a bite from one of the eateries, get a bench or chair and enjoy. read more

Outside ambiance was bustling and fun. Enough seating. Had steak and eggs (the tomato jam was sublime), breakfast plate and breakfast sandwich. Drinks were fresh squeezed Mimosa and chai. You had to order at counter and service was slow. One of our gals was done eating by the time the other two got theirs. read more

Beautiful little area. Many restaurants and boutiques to choose from. Had a wonderful morning there

Cute lil hang out! Lots of goodies to be had. The coffee was delicious if a little bit spendy. The pastries at La Estrella are fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. The courtyard is lovely just be aware a lot of the outside seating is claimed by the restaurants. We shared a table with some friendly folks since seating is limited on a busy weekend. Overall a great vibe and want to return to try out restaurants. read more

Mercado San Agustin District: A Vibrant Community Oasis @mercadodistricttucson Mercado San Agustin is more than just a market; it's the heart of a thriving community. While the market itself boasts a delightful collection of local shops and eateries, such as @la_estrellabakery and @agustinkitchen, the true charm lies in the surrounding neighborhood. A World Away from Suburbia The architecture here is a refreshing departure from the typical American suburbs. Here, houses are built with local materials and designed to foster interaction. Forget sprawling lawns and car-centric living; the Mercado District encourages walking, meeting your neighbors in plazas, and enjoying a true sense of community. Award-Winning Design The neighborhood itself is a marvel of design. Moule & Polyzoides Architects (@moule_polyzoides) have crafted a space that seamlessly blends traditional aesthetics with modern functionality. With eight blocks, seven plazas, and a stop on the Tucson streetcar line, the Mercado District is both beautiful and conveniently accessible, reminiscent of San Miguel de Allende. Many of the homes are tucked closely together, with inner courtyards filled with fountains and plants, or rooftop patios for watching a sunset. A Breath of Fresh Air If you're looking for a place that celebrates community, sustainability, and local character, then Mercado San Agustin is a must-visit. It's a place where you can ditch the car, embrace the outdoors, and connect with the vibrant energy of Tucson. Down the street you will find the MSA Annex. A series of shops, cafes and eateries serving local goods, all houses within repurposed shipping containers. read more

MSA, MSA Annex, and Monier have a nice mix of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and unique storefronts. We usually come for Seis, Presta, Decibel, or Beaut Burger. But, places like Why I Love Where I Live and Petroglyphs are great for visitors or just to drop in periodically. It's great to have a place to support so many locally owned businesses. read more

Breakfast has never sounded more delicious than with a concha perfectly paired with horchata. It's the best flavor combination! read more

A must visit in downtown Tuscon, the Mercado San Agustin is a small but mighty mercado around a small outdoor courtyard in the old section of town now called the "Mercado District" by smart local relators. A couple of the better restaurants in town (Sei's Kitchen) are located here with outdoor dining, one of the best Mexican bakeries (panaderia staple La Estrella), a couple terrific boutiques with antiques (La Cabana) and local wears and one of the best coffee houses in town. Don't miss it. Small but worthwhile. read more

COVID19 Update: It's about time for an update. I love the MSA. It's home to locally owned businesses that reflects what our Tucson community is all about. All of the businesses are open with the pandemic going on, but with some adjustments! Know before you go: Mask up! Even entering the mercado, please wear a mask. They have signage up to remind the public. The shared courtyard which was formerly a place for people to gather, enjoy a meal, coffee or listen to music is no longer open for those activities. The tables have been moved out. But if you wish to sit on the stairs in the patio, you are welcome to. To Eat and Drink: Agustin Kitchen: Open for takeout and dine in on the patio. Seis Kitchen: to go only. Presta Coffee Roasters: takeout only. You can order online directly from their website or order in person. La Estrella Bakery: Open for normal hours. It's always been a takeout type of set-up. Dolce Pastello and Sonoran Sno-Cones are also open and have always been a takeout ordering system. To Shop, there's MAST, Bloom Maven floral and plant shop, San Agustin Trading Co, La Cabaña. Check with each store for their hours. The Thursday farmers market is still operating during COVID19 with changes to the operation to make it safe for everyone. The market runs in the morning during the Summer time. Thursdays from 8:00-10:00am They have set-up a drive up market. Checkout their updates here: https://www.communityfoodbank.org/Our-Work/Programs/Farmers-Markets/Markets Parking: There is a dedicated parking lot West of the entrance of the Mercado District. Follow @MercadoSanAgustin on Instagram for daily updates! read more

This cute little outdoor plaza is a true Tucson gem. I wish there were more places in town like Mercado as it's got so much to offer for every kind of visitor. Grab a coffee at Presta, a pastry at La Estrella and some food at Seis. You can even do a little shopping! We used to come here after hiking Tumamoc and it was always a nice treat. They have lots of events that happen like night markets and weekend thrift shops. Check it out if you're in town visiting or even a local looking for something to do. read more

Not much going on today, a Sunday. The flea market I usually attend next door was not in operation, so the area was very quiet. The typical food places were open, but many of the shops were not open on Sunday. Is there another Mexican Market in a Tucson I don't know about. read more

What can I say, this location is one of my favorite places to just relax, people-watch, and grab something to eat and drink. I love all the choices and the events are the best. read more

I love it here at the Mercado. Delicious food and music on weekend evenings. My favorite place.

This is a must if you visit Tucson! The staff was amazing (Tanya helped us and was very knowledgeable on the menu), the outdoor dining was perfect and the food was fantastic. We came late in the evening on a Monday, so there wasn't much going on, but it wasn't too crowded and we got seated right away. The food and cocktails were on par and just what we were looking for. We couldn't have picked a better place for dinner with friends and we will for sure be back. read more

I absolutely love the Mercado San Agustin. The property itself is beautiful, charming, peaceful, serene, and always clean and cared for. In the center, there's the courtyard with some green space and a variety of different seating options for the various eating spots in the building that boxes around the courtyard. The seating is all shaded, and most of it is comfortable. There's also some relatively new, decent, shared seating with longer tables inside the building, near Stella Java/Sonora SnoCones. Seating inside was much needed for a long time, so it's good to see that it has been added! The shops inside of the Mercado are locally owned and they make fantastic products. You can get everything from breakfast burritos to lunch to fancy dinner to dessert to coffee here, and all at different shops! It's awesome! There's also some shops to buy knick knacks, furniture, and decorations. Most stuff is more rustic in style, which is not for me, but I still love walking through the shops. What I love so much about my time here is the feel of the atmosphere. It feels like you're in a quaint little neighborhood, where everyone is relaxed and nice to interact with. I always feel so at peace here, and I never want to leave. It's a real gem in Tucson, for sure! And now, the streetcar stops here! No excuse to not go to the Mercado and try some of the awesome foods and treats available there! You won't regret your time there! read more

What a cute place! Located in downtown Tucson, this place offers unique shopping all held within a lovely atmosphere. We absolutely adored the flower shop. Very friendly customer service, and the quality of each flower product was fantastic. I didn't notice anything wilted, and the employees answered all of my questions about this one type of succulent (super exciting stuff). The desserts were interesting. Mexican styled desserts that are unique and not too sweet. read more

Absolutely delicious also extremely happy to see they had many gluten free options. I had gluten free chicken salad sandwich with fries while others in my group had burgers a bit greasy. My other guests had salad calamari and Cesar. All together not bad. Was a little slow but it was very busy. read more

Aesthetically beautiful. Seis restaurant is amazing. Food is satisfying. Drink menu is great. Great for kids and dog!

I love visiting Mercado San Agustin, the ambiance is super relax and the patio seating area is just perfect. The public restrooms are clean too so thats a plus. read more

I always enjoy the atmosphere when we visit the Mercado. My first stop is always for coffee. This morning I enjoyed a Dirty Chai Latte. It was perfect! As an added bonus he warmed up my travel cup with hot water first. Then I like to grab a breakfast burrito from Seis. Unfortunately, it was too early to enjoy breakfast at Seis I'll catch them next trip! Saturday mornings are my favorite day because the traffic is lighter. Sunday mornings they are slammed. The line for Seis is out the front gates and there are several bicyclist groups. I think what impresses me though is that even when they are slammed the quality is still there in every sip and in every bite. I am usually there too early for the shopping but I can window shop. read more

This a great place to chill with friends and enjoy music and good food and bakery options. They also have a farmers market set up on Thursdays with fresh produce from local farms. The place has so much to offer and has a great vibe. Definitely a place to check out for one who wants to have good food, or grab a delicious cup of coffee and pastry and meander to the farmers market to support local businesses. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a neighbor and regular fixture at the Mercado! They have really stepped up their game over the years I'm been coming. It's always well groomed and has a chill vibe. There is live music on Friday's nights and they have great local businesses. AK Kitchen is great for a date night dinner, Seis makes an awesome breakfast burro, Presta for a perfect cappuccino, and Estrella for some Mexican pastries! A more recent addition is Bloom Mavin which makes great floral arrangements! I feel so lucky to have all this in my back yard read more

The cutest little marketplace you've ever been to. The overall aesthetic and vibe here is trendy and casual as well as warm and welcoming. I fell in love with everything here. From the gorgeous courtyard, mature trees, and patio seating. It was so nice to grab an iced coffee and just enjoy the day. There are so many great shops and restaurants in The Mercado. Literally something for everyone. Like Lyly N mentioned, of all the places in Tucson this is where I miss most! read more

This is a pleasant place to go or just to kill time. There are several restaurants, two bakeries a coffee shop and a number of stores. It's a nice treed courtyard with tables and chairs. Tucson needs more public spaces like this. read more

My girls participated in the Food Day event this past Sunday at this location, and not only was the event SPECTACULAR! but the space is indeed very nice, and the commercial kitchen is awesome. It really has everything a caterer or cooking class could possibly need. My girls really liked the courtyard and the shops as well. My only complaint is that every time I have tried to contact the management about using their kitchen space, I received no response. Then many months later when I tried again, I finally received responses from two different people only to tell me that they were full and not taking any new renters. They also said they would get back to me with an update within a month. Well it's been 4 months and nothing! Anyway, so 4 stars for the facilities and coolness of the place. read more

My friend took me to this fun gem. I love the feel of the Mercado. Outside dining with different vendors. There is a Mexican diner, a bar, bakery, cafe, and other small shopping stores. All the businesses come together in a courtyard where you can relax to enjoy some live music and the evening. I only had some chips and salsa but the Mexican restaurant's menu looked amazing. I hear their breakfast burritos are delicious. I can't wait to go back and share the Mercado with friends. read more

What a lovely space!!!!!!!!!!!! I was here for a canning class, hosted by Food Swap Tucson. Lorraine Glazar schooled us on traditional water bath canning. Water bath canning requires no fancy equipment and is easy to do at home. Lorraine shared her esoteric recipes for tomatoes, prickly pear preserves and an onion relish. We even got to take home the jelly and the onion relish....I was really lemming for the tomatoes too! FAQ: Q: What is Food Swap Tucson? A: It is an uber cool group of bakers, gardeners, cooks who assemble and swap food! They also, host canning classes!!!!!!! I believe the next one is going to be on olives. I should mention, you may be swapping and hob nobing with some of the chefs who host underground supper clubs. I was so jazzed to work inside of the 1, 300 sq. ft. commercial kitchen, something I had never done before. This kitchen is brand spankin new, sparkly clean, top notch equipment. 6 burners, 2 commercial grade ovens, plenty of preparation and packaging room, two steam trays, two chilled sandwich tables, 40 lb. fryer, broilers, and the refrigerator/freezer/dry storage space. What an asset to the community....esp. small craft local food businesses! Even many of our tasty food trucks use the space. They have lockers to store your equipment (you need to bring your own pots/pans) for the frequent patrons. Get this! You can rent it between 5 and 20 dollars an hour! I seriously am considering putting on some Indian and Thai cooking classes to share my mad skills. After class, I checked out the bakery, the taqueria, the brasserie, and sno cone place.....all looked really nice. People were noshing on pasteriesand scrumptous Mexican egg dishes in the open air courtyard under the cerulean sky, while two musicians merrily played some sweet tunes. I spied some super cool locally-made products for sale, some really cool jewelry and some lucha libre pinatas that could festoon the best of the best shin digs! Pictures coming soon. read more

Beautiful interior, awesome location, and great shops! While not everything is open yet, the Mercado San Agustin still shows a lot of promise. I have a feeling when this place gets going, that is will be one great location. While things are still getting ramped up, you should definitely check out Taqueria El Pueblito for some amazing and authentic Southern Mexico cuisine. I love their Al Pastor burrito! Lebanese style shawarma in a burrito, that's amazing! If you like cooking for yourself, and have always wanted to play with some high end cooking equipment, consider renting their shared kitchen for some of your gatherings. With their truly affordable rates, this may be one offer people have a difficult time passing up. Stop by Holly's Little Farm for some delicious and unprocessed honey from the Tucson and Phoenix area. If the amazing tastes don't get you, the allergy benefits just might. You have to go to La Estrella Bakery. They have the nicest people I've ever met on their staff, and their baked goods are incredible. Pretty soon they will be doing a mural explaining the history of their bakery, and the origins of their unique and tasty breads. These are just a couple of the reasons to go check out the open market at Mercado San Agustin. Go for yourself, and discover all the rest! read more
