The market is also pretty clean, with plenty of walking space. Not overaly crowded (atlest as we have seen) compared to some I have been to. There are plenty other stalls here, please check it out if you are in the area.

Izalco Catering AKA "GOURMET PUPUSAS"…read more Actually came to the San Ramon Farmer's Market to grab a plate lunch @ Ofa's, then saw a relatively decent sized line for Izalco Catering "Gourmet Pupusas". As is the trend with Salvadorean, this was by no means fast food... The pupusa was literally made entirely from scratch. From forming the masa, to stuffing, to sizzling on the griddle. Pretty cool watching the process, but due to the long line & baking in the hot sun, that got old pretty quick... Employees working the booth (girl cooking the pupusa's) & a really friendly guy manning the register & prepping the plates (mixing the cabbage/jalapeno's, hot-sauce, etc...). As far as taste; initially I was in the mood for some Ofa's Island BBQ, but despite the quick change-up, it turned out to be a decent move. Pupusa's were obviously fresh, piping hot & the spicy/pickly cabbage mixture was a nice refreshing topping as well. Opted for the Traditional as well as the Southwestern, though the Traditional was by far my personal favorite... Restaurante El Salvador in Concord (strictly the pupusa's) could probably give em a run for their money & the pupusa's @ El Carbonero in Sunnyvale are quite a bit larger/fluffier (though both are a decent commute away). Having a Salvadoran option however in my back-yard on weekends is definitely a nice alternative to grab a quick bite... Definitely worth another visit next time I'm @ the Market, though I'll need to visit Ofa's as well to grab some of their BBQ chicken as they're literally a booth away...

I have tried all of them (Traditional, Mediterranean, Italian, Southwestern) and they're all very good. My favorite is the Traditional Pupusas (Beans, Cheese, and Pork). The owner, Jose, is so friendly and really down to earth. He's one of those people that seem to be friends with everyone... They make the pupusas from scratch and it comes out piping HOT with some of that wonderful pickled cabbage (I can't get enough of that cabbage salad!). Enjoy!!

Hildago's Meat Market is my go-to market to pick up ingredients for my Mexican food recipes. My…read morerecipes are passed down from my late mother. One of my favorites is chicken pozole. Pozole is a comfort soup containing hominy, shredded chicken and a red sauce made from various chiles (pasilla, guajillo, California, ancho and arbol). On this occasion my daughter asked if I could make her grandmother's Pozole. So I popped into Hildago's and picked up a large can of hominy and a couple bags of chiles. Went home and got to work in the kitchen. 2-1/2 hours later my daughter was enjoying her favorite soup.

But what it lacks in space or having a seemingly small area, it makes up for in density. Walking through once I got in, I was pleasantly surprised with just how much beautiful produce was everywhere. There's also a section for prepared foods and products. There's also some live music. This place is a truly fun place to visit. I was here with fam and we were picking up ingredients to use all in the dinner that evening. We ended up getting lamb chops, eggplant for baba ganoush, some potatoes, and some ingredients for a light salad. Luckily, I had family to help because I'm not the best at being able to cook and use all the ingredients that I pick up from the market that day and the dinner was really delicious. I also picked up some tamales, which were really amazing when I had them for next week (I froze them). For an early day snack we also picked up some food from the yakitori stand, which is run by a chef who actually has a restaurant at the city center. All in all, just really good selection, delicious food, great vendors, and just a general great time with great vibes

They even had a crossing guard to make sure no one got hit by cars. There were so many vendors at this one. From fruits and vegetables to food trucks and so much more. The produce here was very fresh and so much of it. The people were so nice to. The prices were from great to Bay area prices. So a little of both. They divided the stalls in a little order so it made sense. It was easy to shop there. A lot of dog friendly places to. It's a great one to go to if you can.

Next time I'll be there when they open. There were still a good amount of vendors and music out at that time. But a lot of them were closing up and had all the samples gone. I got the juiciest Cara Cara oranges, fresh flowers, and a crotchet kit for my daughter from Saltwater Books & Gifts. The walking space is a little narrow and it was annoying (on my part) to drag my wagon through the aisle. So if you plan on bringing that, or a stroller, just be prepared. I truly can't wait to go back.

Had to order through GoldBelly- $110 plus shipping. Item arrived on time in perfect exterior packaging so I was shocked to see on the inside the product in a flimsy cardboard box. The cake inside was surrounded by bubble wrap but the frosting had a huge gash on one side and had completely fallen off the end of the roll. I did my best to patch it back together but it definitely didn't look like a $110 presentation on my dessert table! What a shame! For that price I guess it will be best in the future to go directly to a bakery rather than take a chance on a delicate product that could arrive damaged like this cake. This was a hard lesson learned but I won't make this mistake again. Buyers beware!!! I have been personally contacted by the seller and offered an apology and a full refund. I appreciate the owner accepting responsibility for what occurred and making it financially right.
