Mercado Miguel Hidalgo is a must-visit whenever I'm in Tijuana! They have everything you could…read morepossibly need, from fresh produce, candy, beer, carnitas, and piñatas to so many unique Mexican products you can't easily find in Los Angeles. I always stock up on fruits, pantry items, and my absolute favorite: their dried shrimp. It's incredibly fresh, flavorful, and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The variety, quality, and authentic experience make this market one of my favorite places to shop in TJ!

I will never forget the smell of fresh herbs and so many wonders. Many wise choices if you are looking for the Santa Muerte. Lots of cinnamon to chamomile to everything your mind can wonder. Tarot cards too but for some reason I was not allowed to take pictures of those. Candles to burning incense. Cash only and I have no idea if they have bathrooms.

Don't come here looking for a tourist oriented market with food and drinks. They have plenty of…read morehousehold items, souveniers, and dust collectors, but most impressive is the array of local/regional goods for home cooking. For me, the wide range of dried chile peppers that I can't get in the U.S. for making special sauces was the trick. The amazing selection of cheeses and mole sauces/pastes made me drool and wish I could bring some back to the U.S.

During my recent visit to TJ, I wanted to explore one of their popular markets and looked forward…read moreto snacking on tacos and enjoying some drinks. Sadly, this market really wasn't what I expected. Mercado El Popo is really meant to be a local farmer's market and not one that caters to tourists or those looking for an adventure through sites and smells. They sell lots of local items meant for the household along with groceries and spices. Sure, tourists may be able to find something of interest, but the market itself is really not meant for that demographic. Additionally, the market is very small and you can walk through its entirety in less than five minutes. Part of me is glad that its left untapped so to speak from the outside world, but as a visitor I'd recommend passing and exploring other parts of town.

Review 61 When…read moreyou're in downtown and hungry for some homemade Mexican food; this is the place to go eat! The Mercado Municipal is a also a great place to pick up souvenirs and just about anything you can imagine. I picked up a flour size tortilla press and comal; I've already put both to use! Great deals are to be found here since all the vendors are eager to sell. Plan B I only submit 5-Star reviews, if I post a review it's cause 'hat's off" I recommend the establishment and will return for another experience. I don't feel the need to submit a review with less than 5-Stars, regardless if I check in, submit a picture or tip. I suggest Yelp change it's reviews to a category scoring system, then is when I can be fair and review each place I visit. PM me if you like additional information.

Awful!! Never again! I sent my husband to buy some Tostilocos. He said the Totistilocos are made on…read morethe premises. It hardly had any of the main ingrediates that go into authentic Tostilocos. The tiny chopped cucumbers were mushy and warped; had a tiny amount of chopped jicama; no chamoy sauce and it was saturated with overly spiced (too hot) red bottled chili. The round corn tortilla chips were not the TOSTITOS brand. They use their own round corn tortilla chips that don't have the salsa verde flavor. Pork rinds tasted like lard, and there was about four small Tamarindo candies and some Japanese nuts. Their Tostilocos lack flavor. Price was $10.99. According to the receipt, that's the price for a "small" order of Tostilocos. Good thing my husband didn't buy a larger order. (I tried to post picture of receipt, but it wouldn't take.)
