Have you ever wondered what is going on weekly at the Chula Vista Golf Course? I was curious so I dropped in last month.

Every Wednesday from 3PM-8PM, Fiesta Street Markets vendors are assembled in the parking lot of the Chula Vista Golf Course at 4475 Bonita Road in Bonita. Amazing food, crafts, jewelry and a general smorgasbord of activity and people is going on right in the middle of Bonita, next to the Bonita-Sunnyside Library.

Here are some of the vendors I discovered in March:

Salvadoran cuisine, birrias, pork ribs and more

Cakes, cupcakes and cake pops

Thai, Filipino and Argentina fare

Hotdogs, Tornado Fries and beaded jewelry

Pizza, fresh flower bouquets and Mediterranean dips and spreads

Clothing, juices and AT&T Fiber

Handmade soaps, Mexican food, fresh fruits and vegetables

Flautas and jewelry (necklaces, earrings and rings)

Stem-cell regeneration patches, HVAC and jarred goodies

Fresh-from-the-farm edibles, berries and waffles

So much to choose from! Be sure to go hungry and eat dinner at the marketplace!
