The Market at Quivira — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

While the concept of this food court sounds awesome when you read about it, it is not quite so awesome in real life. Yes you can get a variety of food. Some of which is good. However the consistency of service is very hit and miss. The different options are not all open at the same times so you kind of have to figure those out. Only one option (the diner) can you get food and drink from the same place. All other options for food won't take a drink order, so then you have to go get back in line at the cafe or bar to get a drink. If you order multiple items under one ticket they typically only bring part of the order, if you are lucky they will bring the other half. We had to re-order the same items multiple times. When you ask staff about it they just kind of give a blank stare and say "the lady will bring it". DO NOT let the person who brings your food take your number unless the order is complete. Seating can be limited, so we learned to go at slightly off times to miss the crowd. Be prepared to wait 30-40 min per order. Dress code is very...

The dinners have been pretty good. The Asian restaurant is really good. Wide selection of different restaurants so every body can get what they want. The lunches have been mediocre, not as good as the dinner. The real downside are the desserts. And I’m a big dessert person. The gelato is super bland, and tastes like cheap store grocery store, generic ice cream, not gelato. The chocolate confectionary place up front is very pricey and, while everything looks super great in the display case, the actual taste is really bad. It’s like they spent all their effort on presentation, and nothing on the actual ingredients and taste. I ended up throwing out the ice cream and the chocolates I bought, a total waste of money. There is another place that sells slices of cakes. I tried the slices that we bought for our kids. Again, pretty sub par, like cheap store grocery store cake. Hopefully, they read this review and start putting some efforts into their desserts. If we come back, I’ll have to go elsewhere...

If you're looking for a quick bite, or have an indecisive and/or picky group, you can't go wrong with The Market. They have Italian, Asian, Mexican (Americanized Mexican), a 50's diner, crepes, Gelato, coffee with boba, a healthy station, patisserie and more.

I had the Italian the first night. The gnocchi was good. The bruscetta was Marinara on bread with melted cheese, so very definitely not what I'd consider bruscetta, but still decent. The chicken parmesan was good, too. The Asian was decent, but you'll definitely find better food at Zao Shen. My absolute FAVORITE thing at the market, though, was the bubble tea. It was a $9 upcharge from my all inclusive, but it was hands down THE BEST bubble tea I've ever had.

The servers were hit or miss, but shout-out to Gilberto, who was very attentive, happy to crack jokes with our group, and happy to provide recommendations. Fair warning, this place gets BUSY at supper time, so try to come before 6 or after 9. The crepe/Gelato station was about 20...
