Viejo San Juan Farmers Market

Lucky we were there the day it was going on. B ought six empanadas and drinks from one stand-best empanadas we had in Puerto Rico!

Friendly local merchants, selling baked goods and fresh vegetables, herbs and Pureto Rican food.

I was pretty disappointed with this farmers market. There were very few fresh fruits and vegetables available, which was the main reason I went. Most of the vendors were selling prepared foods instead. If you’re looking for local produce, this might not be the best spot.

Actually found things we bought, great handmade leather purse for CHEAP!! $70

not many vendors when we went but it was very cute! good food

Nice small farmers market and a fun place to grab lunch. It's much cooler to sit on the benches rather than at the dining tables. Great coffee, sushi and bakery goods. The woman at the end near the dining tables (short hair, PR food) might have some good food items but she tries to scam people so be ready to battle it out as prices go up even after you make a deal.

This is a great farmers market in the heart of San Juan! Met a lot of wonderful vendors with great products and services! Highly recommend! Wonderful views, and good interactions with locals!

Now opening from 8 am to noon on Saturdays next to the "Cementerio Santa María Magdalena de Pazzi". (Google map still shows old location. ) There are some fresh fruits and veggies, but not very many, wish there are more. There are also freshly made food etc. Locals there are very nice, and most of them speak English. Really like it.

Absolutely worth the trip if you are in Old San Juan on a Saturday morning. Good food and lots of local ingredients and things you will not find anywhere else. The vendors were all friendly and informative and not at all pushy to sell. Almost too laid back in a way.

Unfortunately most of the fruit and veg seem to be imported. I was hoping to stock up on produce for the week. :-/ I did get a wonderful sourdough loaf from levain

Held outside the fort and an absolute delight. Def go to this. It's from 8-12 and a nice little adventure to start the day. When we went (today) there were abo it 8-10 stands. Many of them had food (empanadas and other pastries and lunch snacks- a ton of them veggie and vegan friendly) or beauty products (soaps and herbal care). Some pleases had flowers and produce too. The prices varies (around $3-4 for an empanada). I bought one from two different vendors (a caprese and eggplant) to try. I also bought a homemade salsa for friends. Thought about some muscle rub but decided I'd spent too much on San Juan already. It smelled good though. Full of tourists and locals alike, this place was super sweet. I wouldn't go out of the way for it but it would be a great place to grab some breakfast.

Still being held outside the fort. A bit small but had a fair selection of plants, food, and such.

Moved outside near the fort because of COVID. Supposed to close at 1pm but a lot of booths were packing up to leave before noon. Not a lot of stuff to see, but I scored a liter of ginger concentrate that tasted amazing with dark rum! :-)

Stopped here during a rainforest tour. Cooked food, souvenirs, hats, hammocks, fresh fruit

This is the best farmers market I've ever been to. Everything is so fresh, amazing prices, and they had the most delicious vegan tamales and vegan empanadas that I've ever had

It's extremely small. If you want a nice lunch option there are a few stands but I would not make this a go to destination on your trip if you only have a few days.

Quick market to check out with very friendly vendors. So cheap and good. Flowers beautiful but can't take home

We were here several years ago. With a daylong layover in San Juan, we walked from the Tres Palmas Inn, where we were staying, to Castillo de El Morro. On the way, we heard music and the voices of people in the square of what I learned was the art museum. We entered the passageway to the square. Immediately, I caught a whiff of something wonderful cooking. I followed the smell and asked if they sold anything gluten-free. "Everything is gluten-free," I was told. Then, the woman behind the counter started filling up complimentary plates of the most delicious organic food I could imagine. I was already stuffed with the samples when I finally gave my order...and was filled up again! We sat in the square for a long time and had a long chat with a couple who had been born in San Juan, moved to Chicago, where they worked and raised their family, then moved back to San Juan after they retired. The Old Farmer's Market is just one of the reasons I fell in love with San Juan and why, in the wake of Hurricane Maria, which happened after we were in the city, I pray daily for the people of Puerto Rico, write to members of Congress on their behalf, and have contributed to relief efforts. The people of San Juan were wonderful to us. I hope someday to return to the city...and to the Old San Juan Farmer's Market. The food, ambiance, and hospitality were all fantastic!

This little market was in part made possible by some of the people that live in Old San Juan looking for a place to get the freshest ingredients possible at the dinner table. Dont expect to find anything big, the market has been using the interior garden of the San Juan Museum for some time and although the space is huge the selection at this moment is not but you know that quality is always better than quantity and quality is not lacking at this place. You'll find about 10 sellers and each of them with something different to offer. Maybe bread, cheese, vegetables, coffee, home made jelly between others. Every one of the people selling theyre products are really great, so you'll enjoy the time you spend at the market. End the visit eating at Fifis Food stand. I think right now shes the only one serving food there. Shes a brazillian woman, that cooks really good organic mostly vegetarian food, there's chicken and meat for the rest of us also. She has maybe 4 chairs in a table where you'll join the others trying her food. Everything is already there so you choose what you want to eat.... Like a buffet but without the refill. Sit and enjoy her talk. I recommend this for the tourist and for the people living here. Its something different and full of life. Its the way to buy groceries. Remember its ONLY on Saturdays from 8am- to 1:00 pm Happy eating.

This place is so cute! Only open on saturday mornings, i highly suggest going early and exploring old san juan after. I got freshly squeezed pineapple juice, ceviche and an onion eggplant tart. ALL WERE DELICIOUS!

Perfect place to spend your Saturday afternoon! Beautiful location and lots of fresh food and arts and crafts

After doing some sight-seeing in Old San Juan, we decided to head down the hill from El Morro to this farmer's market in order to find something delicious. Unsure what we'd find, we felt like we had stumbled upon a lovely secret. The food here was delicious! There are lots of little stands run by local hipsters and other people who are just plain interested in good fresh foods. There are fruits, vegi's, flowers, and prepared foods. We went to an organic / vegan catering stand that made us one of the best burritos I've ever had - and it was seasoned well with a papaya hot sauce. Additionally, I tried his Cantelope / Ginger juice - and it was really one of the best juices I've had in a while. If you like good, fresh foods - go here!

Best food in old San Juan if you are more on the organic, local farm sourced tip. Everything is priced reasonably. All vendors were polite, and did not jack the tourist with outrageous pricing. Only complaint. Open once a week. They are open Saturday till 1 pm. Beautiful courtyard to relax or dine. A very memorable experience!! A1

This is a little outdoor farmers market that's BIG on heart! Grab a fresh coconut to drink from the dred-locked man with the machete, the same man and his wife sell fantastic vegan pies and Horchata. Many vendors sell full-plate vegan meals that you can enjoy under the white tents inside the courtyard of the Museo de San Juan. There are exotic flowers for sale and great cheeses too...but come early, this outdoor market closes by 2PM! Saturday's only and they DO sell Gift Certificates. Support our local Puerto Rican Farmers and their families!

Love this market I come to it every time I'm in town it is the highlight of my week look forward to it every Saturday!!

small but with a good variety of items, most of them above average,. definitely the place to visit on saturday. the woman selling the yuca-crab pastels, the platano salad, the mushed roots pure, the sancocho......deserves 6 stars!

My husband and I have been involved in growing organic food for our family and local markets for about 7 years. It's a given that when we travel we try to find local markets. We weren't disappointed with this one!!! We met Laura who started this market with a vision. And Fifi, FULL of life and joy, who serves amazing vegetarian food with a Brazilian twist! Recent torrential rains kept many of the farmers at home in the mountains but we still enjoyed tasty, well prepared food for lunch.
