If a tourist center like San Miguel de Allende gathers its prototypical souvenir purveyors in one…read morespot, this would be the way to do it. The downside is that so many of the shops feel quite redundant that it's easy to bypass businesses when you know you'll see another shop selling basically the same things... magnets, masks, coasters, ashtrays, Virgin Mary plaques, you name it (Photo 8). There are two covered blocks of vendors after which we found ourselves in Mercado Ignacio Ramírez, a more open space featuring fresh produce, flower stalls, and fast local food stalls. It would've been more tempting to us if we didn't already have lunch at Jacques nearby (review: https://yelp.to/1eEKC6YG8X). Our walkthrough of the market was more of an Instagram op, which was just fine. RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

It's kind of a must-see when in SMdA, and definitely worth the visit. It's huge, spanning a couple…read moreof blocks, but tbh, so much of the arts and crafts are really similar. It's a great place to shop for souvenirs and the people working the stalls are super friendly. There are a couple of good restaurants nearby and some require a wait, so the Mercado is a great place to walk around before your meal. Highly recommended for local color.

I had heard and read great things about this spot but was definitely disappointed…read more The grocery selection is good but way overpriced as everything you can find elsewhere in San Miguel for less money. The menu had great potential but the food was just not up to par, I ordered the chili rellenos and by the time I received my food the cheese was coagulated and cold but the flavors were spot on. My dining partners ordered a salad and a veggie burger, the veggie burger was not cooked all the way and the salad was a bit warm and soggy. The just missed the mark all the way around for me, I do love the location and the seating arrangements though.

Yes, there is a bit of that typical "farmer's market" when it's really not a farmer's market…read more.. candles and some questionable potions for whatever ails you, jewelry that looks kind of semi-mass-produced (but not sure about that)... but, for the most part, this place has some really great food, lots of people milling around (but not too many), good-looking produce and specialty cheese places, breads and prepared foods, a couple of places with good coffee/espresso, upstairs is a Pork Belly Restaurant that serves everything pork belly that I did not try but would have loved to (looked casual-but-quality). I had a great time poking around but I'll bet this place is SWAMPED during high season. I stopped at the little stand that makes gorditas and assorted mexican specialty dishes (you can see pictures from other reviewers) and had a chicken and cheese taco that they first stuffed and egg into! They actually separated the layers in the corn taco and poured an egg into it before heating it up in the griddle... very cool and very good.
