“Overlooked, misunderstood gem. It's an old-school mall from the 60s that's repeatedly adapted to the times and community. The mall is kept respectably clean and the personnel who work here are friendly. The vendors are chill and welcoming. I frequent this mall several times monthly and occasionally bring friends and family from out of town. The vibe has never felt unsafe.
There are vacancies, yes, and don't expect the usual mall fare. The merchants here are all family and minority-owned. Many have been here for decades and it's a great place for launching a startup. Food options rule (try the elotes at Pollo Rico, or churros at Ortiz). The dollar store is a trip. Cash is king. Lot of community events every month with local/handmade vendors, live entertainment, car shows and even more food (look for the tamales). The theater is running again by local artists -- it hosts local music, indie film festivals, podcast recordings and shows free throwback movies a few times a month.
Ignore the racists. This mall rules and people do care for it.”
“It's ok basic grocery store not a 5 star only because 1 employee got mad at me for some dumb reason it was a new years ago but realized they were wrong but now that employee is nice”
