It's called Northgate Market and we decided to take a photo tour and share it with eCoronado.com:
The front of the store.
A unique view of the Coronado bridge.
A huge produce section.
The had a wide variety of very spicy items. They also carry 'non-spicy' produce as well. :)
Fresh bakery items.
A "cornucopia" of baked goods.
The workers were very friendly and asked us if we wanted a birthday cake. We didn't need a cake, but did get some cookies.
The meat department.
They had a restaurant in the market where you could get Mexican food to eat there in the market or take it to go. There were tables on location inside to eat at.
Overall, we were very impressed with the selection of food items and the friendliness of the staff. The next time you are headed over the bridge, check it out.

We have long enjoyed Pancitas, car shows, and the bridge art in the Bario. We look forward to visiting the newly opened market.

I love Northgate's markets and am SO excited that this one is finally open. It's one of my go to spots for barbecues. We'll get a couple pounds of pollo asado, freshly made corn tortillas, salsa guacamole, onions, cilantro, and limes and do street tacos. You can also buy things like prepared rice and beans by the pound, and they usually have several varieties of ceviche. I highly recommend trying the aguas frescas! Their horchata is my absolute favorite, but they are all good. There is one that is spinach, but it's pineapple-based, so you can't even tell there's spinach in it!
I recently also discovered a great little strip mall one exit south of the bridge. You just exit at National and it's at the top of the ramp. A southern-style fried chicken place, taco shop, Little Caesar's, Subway, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, and a drive-through Panda Express. Plus, a drive-through Starbucks. To get home, just make a right back out of the parking lot and there's a 5 north entrance about a quarter of a block down that dumps you directly onto the bridge. Fabulous!

Ooh, also check out the new indoor farmer's market at the San Diego Public Market. It's just down the street from the bridge and is open on both Wednesday and Sunday with a ton of great vendors.

This is a great market! We got our tamales for Christmas here and they were yummy! The veggies are wonderful-fresh and very fairly priced. Everyone is very friendly and nice here too.
