Straight to the hidden gem and the primary reason we love coming to Denio's - Food court? Nope, forget about it. There's a chicken shack (sorry never memorized the name... all I see and smell and remember and crave is their food) that's somewhere on the northwest side of Denio's farmers market. It's stationed kind of by its lonesome self with some tables available for dining and for good reason!! Omg their chicken is incredible and worth coming to Denio's on any given weekend.
Primary highlight "Chicken shack" - From the main entrance, just walk straight aaaall the way down to the end and turn right. You won't miss it. This is a must, just trust me on this please. Our "go to" now is the 15 piece combo, sides upgraded to large (Mexican rice, mashed beans, and tortillas), and a large home-made, authentic Horchata drink for myself! Their fresh fruit drinks are simply "wowzers!" We learned our lesson the first time with getting a 7 or 8 piece combo - we wanted more. Now we just get the 15 combo and eat the rest later. Source? Trust me, bro.
Second highlight - their produce market! Now being cautious, some vegetables, fruits, and spices are very good buys but there are still some selections that are cheaper at Walmart or your local grocery store. Mangoes is the best thing I can think of for a lot at a great price, but only while they're IN season. Out of season their prices naturally are forged.
Third highlight - Mexican candy. Oh man oh man oh man, so many selections, so many good buys, so little time. Get some for yourself, you deserve it.
Last, but not least - all the stands and stores are worth browsing. It's a swap meet/Farmer's market, so do your due diligence and research prices at different stands and bargain. Pay a small parking/entrance fee of $5 (as of October 2025) and there are plenty of spaces for parking. Don't be afraid to bargain! Got a nice pair of polarized sunglasses for $8, good deal for 2 kids umbrellas, and other random items at good prices.
PARENTS! Toys look tempting, but trust me you'll find better prices and "newer" toys on Amazon, Walmart, or Target. Not worth it at Denio's, don't do it. There are a couple of fun rides in the middle if you have some $ to spare. Top advice for parents? Bring your wagon. The kids will get tired and you'll be thankful you have a wagon to lug your purchases around. Big mistake the first time without our little red wagon.
Absolutely love Denio's. If you enjoy a weekend outing to find bargains, authentic Mexican food, browse a food market with tons of stalls, or simply just want to get out of the house for a millennial's version of Disney - check out Denio's and please be sure to try that lone wolf chicken shack. Don't forget to take it easy and have a great time!
