Stockton Open Air Mall & Flea Market

This is a pretty established file market. My third visit here and this time I licked out on finding everyone was looking for. I like coming for the fresh vegetables and visiting the vendor that has the best pricing in this category. My other being the plant and close vendors as well. Flea markets are your one stop shop for anything! The struggle at this particular one, is the PARKING lot! Massive disaster from all directions. You definitely have to be a patient person to get to even the parking lot let alone find a spot when you get in. But I know I'll be visiting again.

Good food and good place to buy fruits and vegetables. Just have to be careful alot of sellers try to screw you and take your money. They'll lie and say one price but then change it last minute and call you a liar. Also for any Pokémon fans out there do not buy any Pokémon cards at this flea market. They are all fake cards. I feel bad for the kids who buy these cards and think they are real.

Damn i was impressed as a MF!! At the flea market this is totally Stocktones (yes i know i spelled Stockton differently, if ur Mexican u can relate) hidden gem, parking is tough as a MF to find but parking is free and so is the entrance, i liked the fact that the vendors were reAlly diverse unlike the San Jo pulgas them joints be having the same stuff at every stand. They had lots of produce lots of stuff and the flea market had a great happy vibe all around. The food vendors looked good we stopped and tried some of the food there i had Goat tacos because i love goat and got a side of broth the picky wife had an asada huarache i liked my food the wife liked her huarache she said it was flavorful. They had a vendor selling avocados he offered me a sample, he said dont judge a book by its cover he grabbed an ugly ass looking avocado and he said this one is good, he split it in half and the avocado had a beautiful green color and it was flavorful and creamy i was shocked!! So i bought 10 dollars worth of avocados. Im a have to go downtown and take some to my Mom. My wife said the bathrooms were filthy mc nasty so i held my pee the whole time lol i get grossed out easily. I will for surely come back the atmosphere was just lovely, they do have people passing out cars about Church and stuff that was kinda annoying, like cmon homie dont be shoving ur religion believes down my throat, other than that check this place out

Just make sure you pay attention and know your numbers. I asked for a drink, $3 according to their own sign, the guy said "seis" to his worker to charge me double. Assuming I didn't understand since I'm lighter or something... I left immediately, probably won't be coming back. Very rude, tried to support a small business just to be scammed immediately. Wasn't even there for 10 minutes. This happens a lot.... So I hate to be "that" person, but if you're lighter, like white, they really will try to discriminate.

I just don't see how these people are leaving such good reviews about this place. It's the dirtiest one in the county, Completely unorganized to where you don't know who to speak with about renting a space.The business has No website, No price list or availability for rental spaces, No markers on the ground to define the Space numbers on Friday's or even the Main Markets on the weekend's. Nobody's ever answered the photo number and Apparently the owner dosen't care to check messages because the voicemail is ALWAYS full. Please tell me exactly WHAT about this flea market is sooo special???

I've come to the flea market twice-- once a few years ago and another time yesterday.The first time I came here, I only remember lines of mobile taco trucks and strawberry "agua de fruta." I wasn't left with a huge impression, other than a place to wander and sell a bunch of junk.Typical of a flea market, I suppose.My second visit was really pleasant. I came with an open mind and actually found quite a bit of awesome "junk."I bought 72 wooden clothes pins for $1, perfect for a home decor idea I have and perfect for other crafts projects. I bought 5 juicy and sweet white peaches for $1/lb, way cheaper than the farmer's market and the grocery store. I bought a silly solar-powered cow bobble head to place on the dashboard of my car for $5. I bought a large, refreshing cup of strawberry horchata for $2 to share with my friend.I'm very happy with all of my purchases. You really don't have to reach deep into your wallet to buy the things you don't need but would enhance your life.There were various vendors with clothing. Some of them were not quite my style (bejeweled, tight, shiny fabrics, etc). However, my friends and I did find some amazing looking rompers of great style. Perfect for the weather, but the price was not right. For $15 a piece, I'd rather buy from elsewhere. But I was incredibly surprised that I could find clothing items to my liking at the flea market.Other items I saw included bikes, birds, school items (pens, pencils, notebooks), cleaning items (dish soap, sponges, mops), toys, bedding, PRODUCE. Basically, you can find anything here. And don't forget, you can always try to bargain. I'm terrible at bargaining prices down, but if you can do it, go right ahead.The only downside to the market was parking. At around 10:30am, parking was already a pain. By the time we left around noon, parking looked like a complete nightmare. Open until 7pm on the weekends, I would advise coming at less popular hours. Around noon, there was a line of cars out the gate and collecting along Wilson Way. That's the only warning I have.Anyways, I had a blast with my girlfriends here, and would love to spend more weekend afternoons strolling through the market.

The best flea market in Stockton. Parking is rough but The taco truck in the back is soooo gooood!! DONT PARK OUTSIDE WHERE EVERYONE DOES!!! Police will give every car a ticket!

This is the best place for shopping, people watching, and of course eating. There are so many places to eat to choose from. Sunday is definately the busier day so if you like to people watch or meet new people Sunday is the day for you. If you want low key relaxing shopping day go Saturday. Sit back, eat some good food and watch the guys play guitar.

Best place ever. The Chinese food is the best place to get Chinese food in the world.GO BUY THE CHINESE FOOD RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alway an adventure trying to park obit worth the frustration to eat at Ravas truck. Best food and such friendly service
