The market offers a variety of goodies – from a world-wide wine selection to local treasures like pork rinds + cheese straws. The cafe offers American + ethnic items from their gourmet kitchen, and we tried the Tijuana caesar salad, Black Forest ham sandwich + the chicken salad sandwich with truffle frites (so good) on the side.
