Market Square (San Antonio)

Market Square is a three-block outdoor plaza lined with shops, and restaurants in downtown San Antonio, Texas.

"Mi Tierra Cafe Y Panaderia" and "La Margarita Mexican Restaurant & Oyster Bar" are the major eateries, but snack and specialty foods are available at other shops.

Market Square is the site of Cinco de Mayo in central San Antonio and many other fiestas throughout the year.

The new building was originally named the "Municipal Truck Market", but locals commonly called it the "Farmer's Market", as farmers sold their produce straight from their trucks inside the open air building.

In 1975, the last produce was sold there, and the market house underwent renovation to convert it into an enclosed air-conditioned mercado.
