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!

5 stars because I'm back in LV after an amazing weekend trip enjoying all of my gorgeous treats…read morefrom this 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.

And of course the flower stand with Gilbert Lee farms. Oh, and the Japanese cucumbers from Rodney with Kiwano farms. Anything you get, you can't go wrong! They also have a fabulous EBT program where they match up to $15 of your EBT bucks. It is the cutest market in San Diego, and always the highlight of my week. Everyone is so kind and I appreciate all the smiles, amazing ambiance, and not too big of a market where you get lost- just a perfect two blocks long.

The bbq plate was huge and a great cost for being at a farmers market. Noticed a lot of gals buying flowers also. There was also a gal selling fresh seafood- bluefin, tuna, salmon roe- etc plus a vendor selling the variations of hummus and middle eastern pita chips & dip.

At long last the UCSD Farmer's Market is back!…read more A few things have changed since its last iteration from before Covid. First, and most obvious is the location. Before, it was located at UCSD's Town Square, which I thought was pretty inaccessible for non-students. Now, it's located at the Epstein Family Amphitheatre, which is conveniently located next to the UCSD Central Campus Trolley Station and the Gilman Parking Structure. It's a really beautiful setup, with plenty of outdoor seating, whether you want to sit at the lawn, the various tables and chairs, or even the amphiteatre seating itself. There were a few vendors that have usually set up at the market, including House of Bao, Bubbas Hawaiian Snack Shack, Belinda's Familia, Seb Panini and a Sambusa place. I think it's a pretty good lineup, but I noticed the items are very expensive. Further, the selection outside of prepared foods was pretty lacking. There was a florist, but I think more fresh fruit and vegetable options (that accept EBT!) would have elevated the experience and helped with the food insecurity issues that plague college campuses. I ended up visiting Belinda's, where I was enticed by some free samples. I had a chorizo egg burrito, which I thought was really good and a deal for $10! Overall, I think the return of the farmer's market is a net positive for the community! I visited on re-opening day, so I think a couple more weeks will help iron out the selection and variety issues!

There is an orchid vendor setup in front of city hall to indicate there is a farmers market.  It was $25 for the big orchids.  Lovely. The Juicing Gents had some delicious juices for sale.  I tried the blood orange guava, and passion fruit.  Wow!  There was an incredible burst of flavor from the blend of juices.  I have been a fan of POG juice since I visited Hawaii and this is the boldest and freshest version I have ever had.  I added some ice to it from my Tommy Bahama concoction maker and made a slushie.  Amazing drink.  Next time I see them I'll try some more flavors. 2nd visit. I tried the Juicing Gents again.  This time I had the tangerine/guava.  Loved the rich, sweet mix of tangerine and guava flavors.  Delicious.  Next time I'm gonna try the tangerine, passion fruit and guava. Strawberries were at peak ripeness and I loved the sweet strawberry flavor.  They were $15 for 3 packs. Le Rendez Vous French Bakery had baked goods.  French baguette had a thin crunchy crust and a nice mild flavor.  Very good but not on the Bread & Cie level. Del Mar Farmers Market is great if you are looking for a farmer's market with the essentials that is easy to get in and out of.  Next time I want to try the safron chicken and the honey.

I decided to get tofu pad see ew. It was going to be 15 minutes for them to make it, and it ended up more like 20 minutes.

And the pad see ew turns out to be exceptional, one of the best versions I've ever had so it's highly recommended! Place your order first and then go shopping and come back to pick up your food.

I recently ran into her food truck at the La jolla Open Aire Market and had a breakfast burrito and a side of pinto beans or frijoles de la olla. I ordered the bacon and eggs breakfast burrito and added a chile relleno in the mix for an up charge. The breakfast burrito was not only large but very tasty as well. I could taste the bacon and the chile relleno which was great. I like that they use white cheese in their chile relleno. The burrito usually comes with beans but I asked them to hold off on them. The frijolles de la olla were very good. They need to be heated a little more thoroughly but they tasted good. The pinto beans were tender and came garnished with chopped onions, cilantro, and shredded cheese. Added a bit of chopped tomatoes and Mexican cheese to these beans would be just grand. Service is always super inviting and friendly at this food truck, especially if you happen to run into Belinda the matriarch.

She serves warmed sweet and savory hand pies that have the best tasting flaky butter crust I have ever had. An added bonus is getting the rundown on ingredients and flavors from the chef when you buy the pies. The fillings are locally sourced and rely on what fruits and vegetables are in season at the farmers' market. Typical fillings on hand are Swiss chard and feta, mushroom Havarti, curried sweat potato, grilled summer vegetables, lemon ricotta, caramel pecan, dark chocolate and caramel pecan and strawberry. The pies also hold well to eat later or bring to dinner parties. BlueSpark also sell packages really good tasting vegan and wheat free energy squares which are perfect for workouts and travel food.

The NI stats are also very friendly to my cardio-restrictive diet. The only reason they are not getting five stars is that they really need to work on their web site. I plan to make these a regular part of my diet, but only being able to access them at one location, on one day, is not always convenient for me, or good for the growth of their business. Update. I found these Bitcin Bars at Cream of the Crop, and organic food store on Coast Highway in Oceanside, just south of Vista Way. They got two more stars for that.
