Maxwell Street Market - a place to buy and eat without spending too much. The street market is where you can find tools, clothing, antiques, plants for the garden and Mexican style street food...tamales, tacos and quesadillas with fresh handmade corn tortillas, elotes, and corn cakes. Look for the blue truck for the cinnamon sugar-coated churros with tasty fillings and champorado. For drinks, sample horchata and other fruit flavored drinks, like watermelon, tamarindo and jamaica. For dessert, you can find sorbet, funnel cakes, baked goods and Mangonadas, served in a large cup with layers of mango sorbet, mango slices, drizzled with lime, chamoy and sprinkled chili powder. Enjoy!

  Go for the Mexican food vendors. Handmade tortillas and traditional prepared meats & sauces. Fantastic. Not a farmers market although you will find a few produce selections lots of dried peppers things of that sort. Otherwise kind of a flea market feel.
