DeSoto Market Place — Local services in DeSoto

A clean and inviting atmosphere. I've gone there a 3 times now and each time everyone has been so friendly. I went with friends each time and we made it a point to eat there after we finished our shopping and the experience has been delightful each time. The first time I ate at the place on the very end not sure of the name but we enjoyed catfish and Chicken both of which were really good. If I had to compare the two I would say the fish was best. We had sides of fries and collard greens. The sides were good as well however for my personal taste I think the greens were just a tad bit sweet for me. We ate there a couple of times and found the flavor and quality to be consistent. The third time I was there we went to the Caribbean place again so sorry don't remember the name of it but it's right next to the fish place we've decided we'll work our way up and try each place at the Caribbean place we all got stuffed turkey legs which were huge and good for the most part. One of my friends thought that the turkey leg tasted as if it had been frozen for a while / old but not bad just not the freshest. I got mine stuffed with dirty rice which comes with a type of sauce or gravy over it. I enjoyed the rice more than the turkey leg. One of my friends got the turkey legs stuffed with cabbage The cabbage didn't have enough flavor for either of us but it did taste fresh and was cooked well. So although our experience with the turkey legs was not the best we do plan to try the this place again and to try some other dishes that they have. I'm wanting to try their oxtails they have regular at jerk and I'm also wanting to try their lobster mac and cheese just because it looks so delicious. So we'll see if we feel better about this particular location the next time. Each time with gone we've made purchases at the Sea Moss shop which is absolutely the best! They sell sea moss gel that tastes so good you forget that it's good for you. My favorite is the peach cobbler My friends are like the strawberry pineapple I think it is I plan to try other flavors but let me tell you if you're in the market for this the peach cobbler is fire! There are food trucks outside, places to sit and eat outside if you prefer and plenty of parking the bathrooms are clean and the area where you sit to eat is clean I really like this place and plan to continue to go and explore more of the market. So sorry that I don't have photos to add I'll try and do that the next time anyway see you there! Oh yeah The only criticism that I have it's not a really major one but it is what it is when I'm eating I can't find a diet soda a couple of places that do sell them are always out so I would think that that would say there's a market for it but every time we go we have difficulty finding a diet soda last time you couldn't find one at all for us it's important because it's more than a matter of taste one of my friends can't have sugar so she needed something that was sugar-free thankfully there is a place there that sells some type of juices made with something like a fresh puree and they made us sugar free drinks they have not sure what place that is but it's in front of the Sea Moss place... I think... I'm not sure I didn't pick those up someone in our party did.. after we split up and each went in a different direction to seek out drinks...

Love this place so much. When you first go in, on the left there is a woman who sells the BEST Tamales. Me and my dad had been wanting them for a while and they were out by the time we went there but there was this lady who had ordered some but never came so we got her food (yes we still paid) She gave us chicken and pork ones and they were AMAZING. Right in front of the place there is this snow cone place and it's sooo good. And they're cheap too. I had a tiger blood mixed with pina colada with pineapple pieces and I can't even explain how fantastic it was. They were in a food truck and right by them is another food truck that we never got to but you can smell the bbq and it smells so good but we don't get there in time. Overall the whole place is really good for small businesses...

Stopped by after work and was pleasantly surprised at the number of African American vendors and entrepreneurs inside. They offered a variety of products: men and women's accessories, stylish hats, fashionable clothing, cupcakes, crazy potatoes, skin and hair care products, you name it. My personal faves were the hot sauce vendor (located on the back side of the plaza). Their tasty spices give your food a burst of flavor. Crazy Potatoes were really, really good, loaded with meat, cheese, and other fixins. The Brown Girl lil balm is the bomb. All the vendors are very welcoming, friendly, informative, and appreciative. Best thing in Desoto is the...
