Having done my share of efforts to find Navajo food, I can say this flea market is amazing. Multiple vendors selling all sorts of corn and dried herbs, and a whole row of competing grills selling hard-to-find mutton dishes like ach'ii (intestine), blood sausage, steam corn stew, and even kneel-down bread! Bigger than the Lechee/Page market (though I went to the same grill, Diamond T), though equally rustic.
I am a chef and I absolutely love to try local cuisine. This market was all I asked for plus fantastic shopping for local jewelry, arts and crafts. I brought my family and friends there and all had a great time and the best souvenirs.
Just the usual Rez (short for reservation) flea market, but on a larger and somewhat organized scale. I stop here for the food. I apologize for not recognizing the vendor but they have the best Steamed Corn Stew here.
This is an outdoor setting of course and many people from all walks of Rez life both wondering and wandering around. For me this is home.
Oh. My. Goodness. It was. Uhmmmm, there is only so much Indian jewelry and blood sausage you can handle in 112 degrees. Unless you like the before mentioned items, and I mean, a lot, don't bother stopping!
To much dust even thou it's a small breeze but other than that good place to get some grub if your into mutton and fry bread a lot of jewelry and some paintings which are pretty cool to look at
Great place to visit on Fridays for the full Flea Market experience. Great food, good vendors of just "stuff" expect yard sale type items, native home business such as pottery, jewelry, shirts, art, and such. Also a great place to find local only items such as steamed corn, mutton, Piccadilly, and other great foods. Also opened on other days but usually very small and intimate... never a dull moment.
Tom Hanks here, and I've got to say, I absolutely love Flea Market!
I used to hate sand, but now I love it and I must say that Flea Market is the best place to get your sand fix. There's just something about sifting through all of that sand searching for hidden treasures that really gets me going.
And the best part is that there's always something new to find at Flea Market. Whether it's a trinket for my collection or a new piece of sand art, I always leave Flea Market feeling like I've found something special.
I always feel like a kid in a candy store when I'm at Flea Market and I just can't get enough of it. If you love sand as much as I do, then you've gotta check out Flea Market!
Oh boy, I sure do love some Flea Market!
It sprinkles my belly with sand and I just giggle and giggle. I love to find things in the sand too. It's like a big sandbox and I get to play in it all day!
I've found some really neat things at Flea Market. A couple of my favorites are a giant seashell that I use as a pillow and a beautiful piece of driftwood that I use as a sculpture.
Flea Market is the best place to go if you love sand. I highly recommend it!

Great community environment. Lots of local indigenous products. Different degrees of Diné traditional food and popular urban fare available in Tuba City.
Please, do not let the socio economic issues apparent deter you. It is a weekly, vibrant community market. Costs are minimal, Craftsmanship top notch, and you just might leave smelling like mutton and dusty. ?
Navajo Tribal Enterprises coincides with the Federal government position on inflation, stagflation, hyperinflation, ETC. All we hear is the COVID-19 created 'price hyping ' and they go along with its imposed mandates on the federalized reservations. BOTTOMLINE: Base on the treaties, we are wards of the states and indigent servants to the Federal Government. That's how I rate our Tribal dependence on the stimulus Entitlements, vaccine mandates, no economic activity to make us less dependent on the federal system. I total don't support a system that manipulate people's lives with free handouts. One has to dig deeper into how the Native Americans have been brainwashed and conditions allowing them to stagnant rather than to be self-sufficient, as they were before immigration from the Old World. LOL.
I like to come here for Natives Arts and Crafts. I think our natives people are talented and over looked sometimes. This is the place to find a good quality handmade bead works, sum genuine turquoise jewelries, a few paintings, varieties of handmade arts and crafts, herbal healing plants and most of all natives foods. ?
Authentic traditional Diné food. If you want authentic frybread this is the place to be! it taste better than the restaurants that serve this item. This place has baked good, snacks and drinks. There are handmade jewelry made by Diné and Zuni people. Custom traditional clothing. Cash Only.
Traditional navajo comfort food here. Nothing fancy or too complex. Reservation comfort food. Meats, stews and bret, salt to taste. Whether you grew up on it or want to try something new this is the place to get that fix you can’t easily get anywhere else. Want something a little more familiar? Try a Navajo taco or burger. Enjoy.
Flea market are first come first serve, attending gate keeper, money collector allows them to get away with certain areas they claim is their every Fridays,I don't see names on any open spaces, it should be who ever comes and sets up first should stay there until shoppers decipates towards the late afternoon! I have an issue with this since I started to sell here, I'm paying to sell here. thanks
Lol, another place that needs a review? Well, if you like dirt lots and greasy mutton? Well my friend your in luck. This place only deals in cash with individual sellers. Plenty of homemade food and stuff, no moe bootleg cd's or movie doe :'(
My visit to tuba is always a trip to the market. Lots of vendors. Crafts, food, jewelry, and garage sale type items for sale. Fridays are full with vendors. Weekdays have a few out. Good spot for lunch. Local food is tasty.
If you want authentic Diné-Navajo food and craft this is the place to be, every Friday rain, wind and shine.. they open.. best mutton in town and jewlery...
Where many of the local and surrounding venders gather to sell Native American goodies. Ranging from Food, Jewelries, Pottery, Healing Herbs, Native American Tobacco or mountain smoke, clothing, other miscellaneous items. Please, enjoy the Flea Market.
