Came here on a whim and am very glad I did the food was the best ever! We decided on Lupitas which…read morewe lucked out and they had really good food. I hadn't had a real quesadilla in years and the one from here brought me back to life! It was soooooo good! I also had a liquado de platano, Nuez and guayaba and it was delicious! We ended up coming back on our last day and we all agreed that from all the food we ate on our 5 day trip, here was the best! Will be coming back when in town!

Our taxi driver suggested this marketplace for food since the place I wanted check out was kind of…read moredangerous (Central de abastos). It's like a giant food court featuring many different eateries. There were a couple places selling candies and other sweets too. I walked around the whole place before making my decision lol. Every time I passed by a place, they were pressuring me to eat there. I decided to try the pozole combinado at La Comadre since I haven't had it during my trip yet and felt like eating something soupy. We also ordered a large guava smoothie at a different place and brought it back to the area we were having lunch. The lady took a long time to make it- she even ran out of milk, so she had to go somewhere and get some more lol. The smoothie was worth the wait though- it was so delicious and refreshing! The pozole was a little bland and there wasn't enough pork or chicken, but presented nicely. We were saving our stomach for our next destination, so I didn't try anything else. Definitely check this out if you're in Puebla- there's so many choices, you're bound to find something quick and easy to fill your belly.

A cool, souvenir market in Puebla! This market is across…read morethe street from the Barrio de Artistas, a few blocks from the Zocalo. It's a touristy market, with lots of the mass produced types of art that you'd expect to see in an outdoor mercado. Lots of pottery, textiles, jewelry and stuff to hang on your shelves when you get home. This isn't really a place where the locals hang out. But if you're from out of town, and are looking for something relatively inexpensive to take home with you, this is the place. There's scores of little shops that may or may not be independently run. They sell a lot of the same stuff, with some differences between them. There's some that specialize just in ceramics, some in just silver jewelry, and some in just textiles, but there's not a whole lot of differences between them. The prices are all pretty similar- since the shop keepers all seem to know each other, there's not a lot of room for haggling to try to tell them that the other shop keeper is selling it for cheaper. The market consists of a few rows of small shops, each one the size of a small garage, packed to the hilt with hand crafts that are made elsewhere in Puebla. The prices are cheap, but they are cheaper if you buy them from a street vendor. However, the selection here is the best you're going to find in Puebla- with so many options to shop at, they're sure to have what you're looking for. While here, be sure to check out the public works of art- a giant sun painted in the middle of the floor, a statue of who I believe to be San Francisco, and a big picture frame to stand in for a selfie. There's restrooms in the mercado, which are relatively clean. This place feels very safe, as it's one of the main tourist areas for Puebla, and there is a healthy police presence. There's also food vendors who hang out here and sell light snacks, which is quite appreciated.
