I love this place. The food is amazing, atmosphere is friendly and you are sure to spot a celeb or two. Both times I have visited have been on beautiful, sunny LA days. We watched the 'Extra' being filmed with Mario Lopez at the Grove and got some great pics. The food was delicious and there are so many choices.... More

I just love this place and the atmosphere there. There several booths where you can buy all kinds of food (breakfast/burger/BBQ/crepes/pizza/sushi). Some places sell Breakfast quite late or all day. Parking is limited, so remember to validate your parking ticket when you buy your lunch. There is more parking at Grove (shopping center next to). More

Enjoyed this market. Since I was on vacation I didn't buy fresh produce, meats etc but enjoyed the food stalls and shopping. Food was fresh and good, although some a little spendy. Some incredible desert/bakery stalls. The shopping was fun and there was some very affordable things. Worth a visit, especially if you're a foody, which I am! More

A good place to visit for food lovers. Just the fact that it's right across The Grove gives you the best of both worlds. You can walk around, look at the food items for sale then when you get tired and hungry pick out the many food stall and places around serving great food. More

Don't miss this stop when visiting LA. Very old school with lots of hustle and bustle. It was fun for everyone to try different types of authentic foods. Bonus to be next to the Grove which was great for people watching. More
