Historic Market Square

Highly recommend this place. So much colorful stuff that fulfills the eyes. Great place to take pictures. Fyi bathroom use @ $2 per person in some stalls. When we went the public bathroom was closed. Parking was $10. They do have the Mariachi Cafe & pastries, a must try!!!!!

This was such an awesome experience! The location had an incredible variety of vendors offering handmade items, from unique crafts to beautiful artwork. The food selection was equally impressive, with delicious options to suit every taste. The atmosphere was so welcoming, and everyone was friendly and eager to answer any questions I had about their products or services. I loved the sense of community and the passion everyone brought to their work. It's clear that a lot of thought and effort went into creating such a unique location. I left feeling inspired and can’t wait to come back!

Loved the time we spent here today. Parking was convenient, and there was so much to look at. And Mi Tierra never disappoints.

Market Square in San Antonio is like stepping into a vibrant cultural fiesta with a twist of New Orleans flair. As someone who’s wandered through markets across Central and South America, I felt right at home—but with the added bonus of not needing a passport. The colorful stalls, the lively energy, and the irresistible smell of food made it a feast for all the senses. The architecture even gave me a bit of a French Quarter vibe, like San Antonio and New Orleans had a cultural baby that grew up loving tacos. The shops were packed with everything from handcrafted treasures to items you didn’t know you needed. Music was everywhere and every corner had something to eat. If you love food, music, and shopping (and maybe a little sensory overload), Market Square is your happy place. Just don’t blame me when you leave with an empty wallet and a full stomach.

The Market Square is Americas largest Mexican market. Outdoor and indoor shops which are both pretty extensive. Lots of Mexican gifts and cultural items to buy. Some pretty decent Mexican snacks, treats and food are also available. If you’re in San Antonio for a couple days this is worth the visit.
