Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went on a Saturday. It was very quiet, not that many vendors and market goers. . It is in a good location though.

Very nice. Went early so I don’t think we saw the full experience that can be offered later at night with music and such. Stayed at hotel with a kitchenette so this was a great place to get fresh fruits and eggs. Not really an environment to haggle but helps to know spanish of you aren’t paying in local currency to make sure your change is at proper exchange rate. Go if you need groceries. It’s behind the bus stop. Safe experience.

Although the market is fairly compact, the quality was amazing. I wish that we had had the opportunity to purchase from the market this trip around. The fresh fruit and vegetables were beautiful. They also had some local arts and crafts. The local people were very helpful.

We stayed in Atenas and bought our produce at the local farmers market on the Friday (runs Fridays 3pm-9pm, Sat all day). The produce was so much fresher than what you would find in the local Maxi Pali. Also, saw a huge difference in produce freshness when staying in Atenas vs coastal in Puntarenas. If you're staying in Atenas, try and check the market out to stock up on your produce. Can't go wrong!

Nice outdoor market Friday afternoon. Can’t say prices were cheap but less expensive than tourist trinket stores. Nice array of fruits and vegetables. Poured down rain during our visit which made it more interesting.

We visited on a Saturday morning, and it was pretty hot and humid! There was a small area for caged Costa Rican kitties who had been abandoned, they were advocating for adopting a cat, and these cats were sweet but so hot, panting in the humidity! The farmers market was about one square block, most of the vendors spoke some English, but with our elementary Spanish we were able to commuinicate well. We bought Costa Rican Lichees (Mamon Chino) as well as strawberries, which we ate across the street under the shade of a tree by the water. We also bought some wooden tongs and a hot-plate, both were reasonably priced, and even with our limited Spanish, we could barter a little for the price. Cuanto Cuesto?, which means how much is it, went a long way, and we could do some negotiating. Very authentic experience, there is a great variety of produce and crafts. If you have kids who have taken some Spanish in school, this is a great way to let them practice, and also support the local economy in Quepos.

We went 2 times as you can’t beat the price on produce. There is a huge variety of fruits and vegetables, also baked goods and meats. Everything is so fresh. Loved walking around and exploring!

The Quepos farmers market happens every Friday (all day) and on Saturday until noon. It's not very big, about half a square block, but always worth a peak. We stayed at a condo this year with a full kitchen so obviously had more incentive to stock up for the week. But even if you only have a hotel room it's a good place to meet locals. ask questions and try something you might not otherwise experience. Definitely check out the Rambutans if you've never had one! (see pic). Friday late afternoon seems to be the busiest as locals head to the market after work. Saturdays seem much more quiet. You'll probably find it easier to park, if you have a rental car, if you go earlier on Friday or anytime before noon on Saturday.
The market has a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as some folks selling handcrafted souvenirs. All of the vendors have a calculator to show you the price so don't worry if your Spanish is rusty or non-existent. Most, if not all, will accept dollars but colones are the easiest.
It's super easy to find as it sits on the south side of downtown Quepos just before the marina on one of the busiest corners in Quepos. Impossible to miss.

Do they take $ USD ? We'll be arriving that day and may not have local currency yet.

We always order colones from our US bank before we go that way you have money from the start and the exchange rate is usually a little better.

I know on Friday the market opens at 4:00pm, but not sure what time it runs until. We were there till 6:30 and it was still going strong. I also know they are open Saturday but not sure what time as we left that day. Other reviews have stated that it opens early Saturday morning until about 12:00. I couldn't find a GPS address for you, but this review page shows the location on the map right above. Also for a GPS address you might try the Best Western at Central Ave | PO Box 18-6350, Quepos 6350, Costa Rica. This hotel is right across the street from the market. Make sure you bring reusable bags if you would like to buy a lot of goods this makes it much easier to walk around. Also I suggest going there as soon as it opens on Friday evening if possible and staying to watch the amazing sunset in the marina.
