Best for people that like negotiating and getting the best deals on real leather purses, luxury watches, AirPod pro for $40 wish I could’ve spent more time down there. I got my AirPod pros but I really wanted this Rolex and LV purse but I wanted to look at all the shops first before coming back. By the time I came back they were loading their stuff up and the Rolex went from $120 to $300

Hi I had a really sad experience here, first thing that happened is we choose to park where it said $3 parking and when we got in there and parked he upcharged us to $20 , same thing happened on the streets while looking we kept getting charged more than what they charge everyone else or they didnt even want to help us ,im half white half Mexican and I felt no matter where I went I was being judged up and down. It was very unfortunate , I bought a hot dog also and it was completely cold , and when I asked to speak to her she ignored me , they were very rude we looked at purses and they tried charging is $120 for a flea market purse. Like we were stupid we had a lot of money to spend but they were trying to rob us. So we ended up leaving. Even when we were just walking on the sidewalk no one said excuse me or nothing. It was very prejudice down there . Maybe because of the recent ice raids. But just a heads up to anyone who is not a dark Mexican. You might be racially profiled and given higher prices because of it. The sad part is my dad's from Michoacan and my daughters dad is from guadalajara I love mexico however treating people like this isnt right and I hope to help someone else that might experience the same .

I drive here every year from Las Vegas to do my Christmas shopping. I definitely get my money's worth. Highly recommend. It is a shopping experience not to be missed at any time of the year!

This was nothing like I expected. Thought the street was filled with arts and craft shops - wrong! A bunch of cheap clothing, and 'Fredericks of Hollywood' wannabes. A few food stands (churros at covered end were fantastic!). There was an nice boot store, but very little else of interest. Some of the shops on the surrounding streets looked far more interesting. Not worth travelling cross-town to see Santee Alley.

We went to look around after a visit to USC. It’s a fun market that reminds me of Mexican markets in that you can find anything, including food inside. The best products by far are women’s formal dresses. Negotiate the price of absolutely everything beforehand, a guy tried to charge me $20 for two small cups of watermelon. Don’t expect that much of a deal on anything, I found all prices to be very high for the quality. Honestly I wouldn’t go back to the area because I feel I can find everything this market offers in a better atmosphere for the same price, maybe even less
