I have been coming to this city for over ten years, and today was the very first time when I had…read morethe opportunity to come and check this place out. This crafts market is located in the central part of the city, and it's near a court of other food markets. The market itself has well over 100 individual stores, and each store has some different to offer. I came in at around noon, and many of the shops that I walked passed, encouraged me to come and see what they have. There are so many near things to choose from that I decided to return this weekend when I have some money in my pocket. I saw some really cool authentic hand made plates that my wife would love. The prices here are also fair, especially considering the time it takes to make some of these pieces. Apart from the awesome crafts, I think that this would be a great way to support the community here.

Really wonderful market- lots of stalls w similar items but really pleasant shopkeepers- not pushy,…read moreno one hollering at you and very fair prices. If you don't speak Spanish and don't want to haggle, look for the stores with posted prices- there are plenty. Culturally, this is not a market where you haggle/try to cut the prices much- so don't go in thinking an item listed at 500 pesos can be bought for 100. Be respectful, much of this is made by the sellers, some working right onsite. Loads of beautiful stuff, from jewelry to tiled mirrors (mine made it home safely!) and alebrijes. Many things you won't find at the airport stores (though it has some decent items), so this market is worth the trip. I brought cash but many stores/booths accept cards here.

I recently purchased a condo in downtown, and I soon realized that I have very few items like…read more furniture, kitchenware, or anything to make the place nice. I wanted to get a couple of nice things so I began to search for stores that carried furniture and other types of cool things like perhaps even artwork. I found this store online and the actually have a couple of locations. This one was the closest to me. The first things that I saw was the dining set that was handmade from Patambanán Michoacán. The set of four plates of three sizes, bowls, and cups came to be around $8,000. They looked absolutely beautiful. The service here wasn't the best considering the high-end items that they sell. The lady at the register barely even acknowledge d my existence. She was preoccupied with some sales slips and seemed to have trouble getting up out of her chair, to help out another customer. However the one gentleman wasnice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this store for their great products, bit less like to recommend for their service.

This outlet on the Paseo de la Reforma exhibits the finest craftspeople in Mexico. Some of the…read moreobjects can be very expensive. All of them are unique and beautiful. The sales staff is bilingual, and they take credit cards. They can explain what it is you're looking at, so you know what you are purchasing. If you decide whether or not to do so. They don't mind window shopper's. You can find many of the things they carry at the various markets and tanguis scattered around Mexico City for less money. But, none are as stunning as they are here. Why do people shop at Tiffany's? I think for the same reasons.
