| - There wasn't a lot that I was interested in browsing through when I was here. Admission is $2 per person (Cash only) and while the actual swap meet is under shade there were huge areas of the lot that had pools of water from yesterday's rain, making it awkward to navigate around in some spots. There is an area off to the side for rides and carnival games if you bring your kids with you.
Goods for sale were varied. They were mostly cheap knick-knack type items, clothing, or accessories. They did have some more unusual items for sale at the swap meet, such as a dubious looking stand selling cages overcrowded with budgies, lovebirds and canaries, and a booth selling fancy looking furniture. Off on the far side of the lot they had a lot of produce for sale, including an intriguing spiky-haired avocado looking fruit that I had never seen before.
Food options are basically fast food and Mexican, offering burgers, churros, raspados, elote, hot dogs, burritos and tacos. I was starving and paid $3 for a generously sized churro heavily laced with sugar. Although served hot it was slightly stale, and it tasted like it was fried in really spent, old oil as well.
We only went here really because it was a stop along the light rail when we were headed back from downtown Phoenix. I probably wouldn't venture here again since there wasn't anything I wanted to buy and the food I had wasn't very good.
