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.

This is one of my favorite markets. If you're looking for vintage or antique items, I'd go somewhere else. But if you're in more of a flea market/yard sale vibe, this is the place for you. And there is plenty of fresh food. Rubi's Tacos are made fresh, including the tortillas on site.

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.
