Market on 8th Food Hall Reopens With Mexican Cuisine | Eater San Diego

"I found Market on 8th bustling with activity again three years after landing in National City, after shifting to a fresh lineup of mostly Mexican cuisine; it originally opened in 2021 with an exciting roster focused on Asian food but then slowed following roster changes and a management shift. Under its latest operator, Roger Cañez, who was one of the founding vendors, the market has rebounded and now sees about 1,600 to 1,800 people pass through its doors each day. Cañez has called on established spots like Kiko’s Place and Carnitas Quiroga alongside newer entries such as Marcella and Coleta, kept previous favorites Ping Yang and Donburi, and plans further enhancements including a Valle de Guadalupe–inspired wine garden on the back patio, live acoustic music and cover bands, and a version of Market on 8th for the Otay Ranch community." - Candice Woo
