Fruits, vegetables, and bakery also excellent. They do seem a bit higher than their competitors, but not too much and I think worth it for the quality. Complaint: they do not carry any high quality butter! Odd...

After looking through some of the local shops, and dealing with the many people who went to great…read morelengths to get our attention, it was refreshing to step into Viva Mexico. We were all looking to take home gifts and this shop satisfied our needs on many levels. Pottery, vanilla, glassware, toys, they seemed to have it all. The ladies working there were all friendly and thankfully, their English was better than my Spanish! I had my gifts all planned out until I went upstairs, and then everything was turned up-side-down (in a great way). I found my niece upstairs, hanging out with Cristian who is the man in charge of the tequila tasting. By the way, just say yes, because he doesn't take no for an answer!! We tried chocolate tequila, vanilla tequila, pomegranate, apricot... oh the list goes on. I came home with some chocolate, and my niece tried the regular (oh so yummy, sweet tasting, sippin' tequila). If you are looking for some quality gifts, no hassle, and great tequila, this is the spot for you!!

The selection of pottery and other goods native to Mexico was nice; however, the customer service…read morewas severely lacking and the pricing was confusing. Items were marked in pesos and shop attendants quoted one price in US dollars, but at the register, not even close. My friend was purchasing a piece of pottery and was overcharged. She questioned the cashier and showed the pottery piece. As she was turning the piece over to show the price tag, the piece slipped from her hand and broke. They made her pay for it. Very unfriendly and we certainly wished we had never set foot in the place.

While in Plaza Playacar looking for souvenirs for ourselves and our friends/family back in the…read moreStates, I was drawn to Artesanias "Solymar." In fact, I even had to go back to grab a couple items I saw that I couldn't come home without! ++ They have the BEST ceramics and pottery that I saw on my entire trip. It was beautiful and so incredibly detailed! ++ The staff was very friendly. I spoke with the owner about his merchandise and he was so kind! ++ There's ALL sorts of shirts, shot glasses, ceramics, sombreros, etc... You name it and they have it! ++ Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality of product you get. Plus, if you have cash, you can negotiate a bit. I would highly recommend checking out Artesanias "Solymar" for your souvenir needs. If I find myself back in the area, I will def be back!

Miniso is so cheap!!! How do they keep everything so affordable?!?…read more One day I was walking down 5th and saw a Minso..I was so surprise!!! I came in and everything was exactly how it is in the US. The prices were similar and the quality was the same. Shout out to Miniso for consistency!!! I've been here a couple times and every time I get awesome service. There are employees spread around the store and happy to help if you have a question. I don't know a lot of Spanish, but when I need help i'll use my translator and the employees are very patient with me. Love this Miniso!!!

During our five night stay, my friend and I found ourselves gravitating to the mall area at night, which seemed to be the meeting place for other people as well. Live music was set up on each night of our stay and there was always late-night food available. Coincidentally, this was the only food I ever actually enjoyed during our stay. It was definitely junk food but it was actually somewhat palatable compared with everything that was served at the buffets and restaurants.
