    Mercado de Coyoacán is a short 10 minute walk from the Frida Kahlo Museum. After visiting the…read moremuseum (if you decide to go, you do need to purchase tickets 1- 2 weeks in advance because they do not sell tickets at the door), we visited this mercado in search of something for lunch and also to browse. We visited this market 2 Tuesdays ago. We ended up deciding to stop by a food vendor (Jugos y Coctetes Alexis) that is known for their fruit juices and fresh foods because I decided that I really wanted a salad. As much as I am truly loving a lot of the local food (and the street tacos are amazing here in Mexico and so is the birria), I was longing for a salad and something nice and fresh. I ended up getting a burrito and a fruit salad (which was much larger than I expected and really a perfect size for 2). My husband got 3 tacos that came with fries and nopales. We also got a mojito which was really nice and refreshing and was perfect (this is non alcoholic and do not think this food vendor serves alcohol). I think it was not made with any added sugar, which is what I really loved. Afterwards, we did browse the market and ended up purchasing some souvenirs to bring back home such as Lucha Libre Masks for our nephews (they do sell kid size masks if you are looking for those and are a little cheaper) and also a few masks for our friends (adults) as well. Purchasing these masks here in Mexico City is significantly cheaper than purchasing at home (They are $20 USD for the cheaper versions on Amazon and $25 USD from the vendors selling at the LA County Fair for those that are from my neck of the woods). I also purchased a few small Día de los Muertos figurines because I really love the way they look and also love that Día de los Muertos celebrates our loved ones who have passed away. We also purchased some vegetables as well to take back to our Airbnb to cook (yes I am one of those people who cook even on vacation). Overall, we had a really great experience at this market and would recommend coming here for a visit.

    Visiting local open or indoor markets and supermarkets are one of the best ways of getting to know…read morelocal culture when visiting somewhere new, so I try to visit at least a couple examples of both whenever I'm traveling to a different country. Mercado de Coyoacán popped up as a convenient option since it's within a 10 minute walking distance from both Museo Frida Kahlo and Museo Casa Kahlo. Open since 1921 (though originally in a different location), on an early Sunday afternoon this appeared to be a popular place to visit, with plenty of people eating lunch at the many food stands, picking up groceries as well as a number of tourists exploring the aisles. The market is divided into sections, another Yelper compared it to Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (aka Saigon), and I'd agree this reminded me of a smaller version of that, and the setup is very similar! And by smaller by my estimate there's still more than 150 vendors here, so relatively speaking tons to explore (if that gives you an idea of how large BT market is)! Different sections of the market sell different items, there are areas for apparel, accessories, vegetables and fruit, butchers and seafood, spices/condiments/sauces, dried goods and coffee, food stalls, handicrafts and souvenirs interspersed in between. Each stall has a number tho you may need to do some wandering around to locate a specific one if you're searching for it. Vibrant sights, smells and sounds greet you at every corner, since it was around lunchtime the delicious scents of food wafting around made me hungry! I ate at one of the more popular stalls and food was decent though perhaps not stellar imho. However I may not have ordered the right items and it was also one of many choices so I'm sure there are other tasty items to try. The aisles are very narrow, enough for one person to pass thru in some cases, so take that into account. Bathrooms are available though not clear on conditions. Cash is preferred, or required at some stands, and a number of vendors also take credit cards with chips. For more info: https://mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx/venues/coyoacan-market/?lang=en

    On our recent trip to CDMX, my husband and I took a tour that included a trip to Mercado Jamaica,…read moreand it was an amazing experience. Mercado Jamaica is one of Mexico City's traditional public markets (it dates back to the 1950s). While it's best known as a flower market (jamaica means hibiscus), it's a market that sells everything: meat, produce, prepared foods, spices, souvenirs, and more. But it's known as the city's flower market, with flowers for sale 24/7! According to Wikipedia, there are 1,150 stands selling cut flowers, flower arrangements, ornamental plants, and more. We explored the market for a couple of hours, and it was incredible. We ate some great food (green chorizo tacos from Las Más Altas Montañas, quesadillas from Quesadillas La Chaparrita, tlacoyos made by Luci). We ate some amazing fruit (mango, guanabana, guava, and more). And we just wandered through the stands - past so many flower stands with so many gorgeous flowers! The market is so vibrant - with so many people working, shopping, exploring...! It's accessible by the metro (there's a Jamaica stop on Lines 4 and 9), so it's not difficult to visit. And it's worth it. Such a special place. I highly recommend it if you're visiting Mexico City as a great place to take in a little bit of the city's culture!

The food section was also quite large, and this is a lovely place to taste mole, with many vendors offering samples. There are only a handful of taco stands and counters (it's more for ingredients) but the few there are draw crowds and the tacos and agua de jamaica we tried were amazing. There's also a lot of pinatas on display. We were here 10 - 11 am-ish and that seemed to be a medium-popular time; not many flower buyers but more families doing grocery shopping. I didn't get the sense that this was geared towards tourists, and we didn't run into many other English speakers, but I thought this was an excellent stop both for photography and for snacking. Come with someone who's been before if possible; we were with a local guide and his shortcuts through the maze-like space were invaluable.
