I really, really want this market to succeed, because like you, it's much more convenient (for me, the competition is the Hollywood farmers market). But man, every time I've gone to the one in Toluca Lake the produce stands have been bare. And by bare, I mean a couple stalks of celery and some soft carrots. That said, the non-produce stands offer some pretty good grub. The tamales are decent, as are the handmade sweet Italian sausages that are sold close by. My favorite stand is the one which sells olive oil and other related items. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name, but the folks there are always helpful and I love the marinated beans that they offer. So overall, yea it's a Real Good Thing. I just hope it can last through the summer.
