Mercado Gonzalez in Costa Mesa, CA: What to Expect
The long awaited Mercado Gonzalez Northgate Market is finally open!
Unlike the other food halls in Orange County, Mercado Gonzalez is a true blend between a food hall and an actual grocery store. Some visitors are here to do groceries, some are here to enjoy a meal and live entertainment, and some end up doing both!
Northgate Market was started as a local market by the Gonzalez family, with its first location in Anaheim, CA. They’ve since become one of the most popular Latino grocers in California.
Address: 2300 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA
