  First time I Mexico and one of the best things so far is this market. You'll find absolutely anything you like; seriously, there is not even a single product you won't find here. I recommend people to try some of the restaurants and also the food stands (especially the ones that sell fresh fruit). There are also pinatas everywhere, if there are kids in your family you probably wanna buy some for them. And one last thing, try the unique fruits the shops sell as you won't find them in the States. Love it love it love I am coming back next month!

  Actually I kind of hate this market. Four stars for kind of hate. It does have an amazing selection of peppers, both fresh and dried, beans, and a zillion other dried unrecognizable things. Exotic fruits and pastes galore, pinatas and other cheap wares for the the kitchen, and a nice cheese shop that I did like.
  
  This is where TJ folks go to shop on the weekends, and if I lived there I would too. It's not a tourist spot by any means, although it is interesting to see. The negativity I feel about it relates to the whole parking situation, which is about as bad as it gets. The whole place is a city block with the shops on the perimeter facing in. Parking is in the middle, with entrances centered on all sides. They let you in. They let everyone in. Then you have to find parking, which means waiting to be the lucky driver who is just behind the other guy who is too far ahead to try to back up and snag the spot that the person to the right is attempting to vacate. For me, this took just over 30 minutes. They let you in, knowing there are no spaces available, because parking is charged by the time you spend there. Time spent looking for a space comprised half of my fee.
  
  Aside from that this is a very interesting farmers market with permanent vendors, a few restaurants, and lots of people watching to do. Sample the cheese if you go.

  It was my first time going here, so I didn't know what to expect. They have a paid parking lot available, so luckily we found a spot. Some of the other drivers can be quite rude though- honking at you when you are just waiting for the driver to back out.
  
  I love going to markets in different countries, but this one was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for more food vendors, but there weren't that many. There were only vendors selling fruit cups and bunuelos, so we bought a mango one for me and cactus one for him. The cactus one was better because it was more fresh. I thought the mangoes were too ripe.
  
  We walked around and there were stores selling cheese, produce, and Mexican candy. I needed to stock up on Mexican candy, so we bought a few of our favorites. The total was much higher than when I last bought some, so I'm not sure if the prices went up, or if this market is just more expensive.

  This is a large U-shaped collection of produce stands, small shops, and eateries surrounding a large central parking lot. You're bound to find just about anything you need here, whether groceries or even housewares and pinatas.
  
  It's a delightful walk around as you take in the sights of all the bazaars and as you see all the activity unfolding around you. On this note, many of the shoppers appeared to be locals, but there were also a fair amount of Americans, if the license plates in the parking lot were any indication. A great way to sample some local flavor.

  Was there this past weekend and without a doubt it's the piñata and candy mega spot. With that being said shop around prices vary depending on the shops that are ethical or not. The ones on the north side seemed to be more reasonably priced $10 piñatas large. $20 for assorted mexican candy bag of 6 pounds.
  
  Also this place has authentic chilis and spices from all over mexico, cajeta or caramel $4 for 1.5 lbs, all kinds of cheese, fruits, vegetables, food, churros, coconuts, corn, honey, exotic tropical fruits, copper pots, a huge curios assortment, and mexican dish wear. Like a flea market
