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!

Mercado de Jamaica is a massive market south-southeast of Mexico City center. It's best known for…read moreflowers-- you'll see bundles of bouquets lining the rows, all quite fresh and stunningly cheap, as well as larger arrangements for weddings and funerals. 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.

I am from Brazil and wanted to send flowers to a friend because she was performing an important…read moreshow in Mexico City. I always send 7 red roses because of a story we have. I contacted them via WhatsApp, the representative asked me to buy from the website, and the closest of the 7-rose bouquet I wanted was an arrangement within a box containing some roses, maybe 12, and an orchid. I bought it, asked them to remove the extra roses and the orchid, I only wanted 7 roses. The representative confirmed, I gave them the address of the place where she would be, and they assured me that they would be delivered in the morning. I thought it was great, it would be ideal if the flowers were at the entrance of the venue when she arrived, before the show opened. That way someone from the production team could take them. I asked them not to contact the artist under any circumstances so as not to disturb her work. I must have said this 7-9 times, to make sure they understood that we could not bother her. It should only be delivered at the entrance, to the receptionist. Not only did they get the arrangement wrong, bringing orchids and ignoring my request, but they only delivered it in the afternoon when she was already with a bunch of guests. Only to make it worse they had the delivery uber call for the artist who spent 20 minutes at the entrance with the Uber driver who said he needed a code, and neither she (or I) had it. They got the order wrong, disrupted her work, and frustrated me immensely. What a mess!!!
