Street Vendors in Columbia, SC

“GO. If you're thinking about going, just go. The name "Soda City MARKET" makes you think this is some quaint little farmers market like most you may have visited elsewhere, but this is something different. It's like a festival that spans about 4 blocks, so many vendors selling everything from art to dessert, music, and lots of different food trucks to try. I was feeling homesick and having trouble finding Hispanic food restaurants in my area, but I found Ecuadorian, Cuban, Colombian, Mexican, and Venezuelan food all on one block. The atmosphere is great, there are cute doggies everywhere, just go and take your time walking around. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but there are a number of cheap parking garages close by that help. I paid $4 for 3hrs in the Washington Plaza garage. Get there early because everything starts shutting down at 1pm. Have fun!“

“Nice mom & pop Mexican restaurant with dishes one would get in Mexico City such as Huaraches, Birria and Tortas. Great little hidden gem near the Whole Foods - Not fancy and very reasonably priced. Easy to order a bunch of different things to try them all. We really liked the Torta sandwich and the Barbacoa and Al Pastor. Agua Frescas were the real deal ~ Melon and Horchata were both good.“
