I came for Cool Piercings and Tattoo. I've gotten 3 new piercings and my nose ring changed. Astrig is THE BEST!!. Parking can be a problem and it's really easy getting lost in the Swap Meet building.

Coming to a swapmeet like Alameda is always exciting. You never know what you're gonna see. Sometimes you'll even come across a place where they sell birds. As you walk down you will hear different music. If you struggle to find a specific item you're looking for and ask,Some people may even help you if they know where you can find it. My favorite part is picking up a snack when I get hungry after a nice walk in the Alameda swap meet

I think Alameda Swapmeet reminds many people of their childhood. Going here was always a tradition. As I got older, trips here became less frequent and I really can't remember the last time I came here before today. I can go on about the amazing vendors you'll find here, all of them with their own unique inventory. You'll find jewelers, clothing makers, masseuses, etc. My favorite spots to walk by are the ones that sell amazing stuffed animals and Mexican candy. This is the perfect place if you're looking for jewelry Everyone here is incredibly friendly and will help you find what you're looking for. It does have an intense ambiance you'll find in a busy marketplace which I think is perfect if that's what you're looking for. There are many food vendors here too and you definitely won't leave hungry. I got the chance to try an ube raspado which was very delicious. If you haven't explored the Alameda Swap Meet for whatever reason, I really encourage you to go!

I recently visited the Alameda Swap Meet and had a fantastic time! It's a fun little trip to go to as they have a wide array of small shops spread throughout the swap meet. I was delighted by the abundance of options for food, and it was a delight to explore the different culinary offerings. One of the highlights for me was the live music playing in the background, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. They even have a cozy sitting area where you can relax and savor your food. The parking situation can be a bit challenging due to the multiple lots, but it's manageable. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time browsing and shopping at the Alameda Swap Meet. Recientemente visité el Alameda Swap Meet y ¡me divertí muchísimo! Es un paseo pequeño pero divertido, ya que tienen una gran cantidad de pequeñas tiendas repartidas por todo el mercado. Quedé encantado con la variedad de opciones para comer, y fue un placer explorar las diferentes propuestas culinarias. Uno de los puntos destacados para mí fue la música en vivo que ambientaba el lugar, creando una atmósfera animada y agradable. Incluso cuentan con una zona de descanso acogedora donde puedes disfrutar de tu comida. El estacionamiento puede ser un poco complicado debido a los varios lotes, pero es manejable. En general, disfruté muchísimo mi tiempo explorando y comprando en el Alameda Swap Meet.

Great place to roam around at. Lots of shops. Fresh produce. Live music. Good food. Parking is hard to find though. Agua frescas was the deal of the day. Buy 1, free refills til they close. Worth your time if you're in the area.
