We came when it was nearing closing time so not all the stalls were open, but there were still a good number of them waiting around for last minute customers. But the perk was that it wasn't crowded at all. We ended up leaving with a nice colorful bag at this one stall that differed from the rest. And we also grabbed some colorful coasters at another. Thankfully they took card so that was a huge help. Though we didn't think about bargaining... Ugh. Americans. Haha. Even if you're not looking for anything in particular, the variety and specialty items here will be interesting to browse.

The market is filled with tons of stalls offering everything from pottery, clothes, jerseys, shoes, jewelry, kitchenware, and home decor. You can spend a good amount of time walking through the aisles since there's so much variety. It's a good place to find gifts at different price points, though you may notice similar items across multiple vendors.

We wandered in because I wanted to try an afternoon mezcal cocktail from Mundana after exploring the area for a day, and it was great. We had our cocktails and then wandered into a few stores - lots of cool places to check out. The building was beautifully restored - definitely a cool sight. And there are bathrooms - you just need the code from someone at one of the shops, restaurants, or bars! Definitely a cool place to spend some time if you're in the area! Kind of a quiet, cool (a little bit hidden) oasis just off the very busy Alameda Central!

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.

The food court has many options form Chinese food, to ramen, KFC, Subway, McDonalds, and Dominoes to name a few. There were workers going around cleaning and tidying up the area. The mall was clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas. We stopped at Pull and Bear and bought some accessories and clothes.

The shoes here are obviously the big draw, but they also have amazing leather jackets and bags. Even D who breaks out into a cold sweat when buying sneakers is obsessed with their shoes and now owns three pairs. All are super stylish and incredibly well made. Both times we shopped here we were helped by Manuel. He was incredibly helpful and VERY patient with my anxious husband. For those of you visiting the DF with limited Spanish, Manuel and most that work here are fluent in English as well. Though Manuel was very sweet and suffered through my terrible attempts at only speaking in Spanish to practice. We love this store and plan to come back or shop online for any of our shoe needs!

The service was just so so, because it was hard to get the attention of the only person working here. She was busy on her phone.

I've also maintained an apartment just 1 block away for ten years, and before that I stayed at various hotels closeby for extended periods of time. I can remember the park before they completed a major renovation and it was quite different then. Back then there was an ugly restroom situated near the center of the park, and most of the fountains did not work. Also the sidewalks were crumbling and really bad. Since the renovation the place has drastically improved. There is less prostitution and it is more family oriented. To me this park feels like home.
