Coyoacan Market

Wow! There are so many things to see here that are different from the usual U.S. markets. Butchers, florists, traditional clothing, restaurants, textiles, souvenirs and of course the insects!

Tarantulas, cockroaches, scorpions and crickets are sold here. Chocolate covered scorpions are actually kind of pretty, but not very tasty. I tried a tiny piece and didn't like the flavor at all! Fun experience though and a great place to shop for groceries. Definitely cheaper than going to the grocery store.

A must see when visiting Mexico City!

Great food, people and vibe. You'll leave very full and not spend as much. During the weekday the market is not as busy, so would recommend going then. If you want crowds, then Sunday is the day when all the locals come. Best place to eat carnitas is El Charro. Pork is excellent, crackling is fab and you get lots of delicious salsas to go with it. The peanut salsa is the hottest. 2 carnitas cost me 50 pesos. You'll find this place right at the back of the market. It is very well known so ask someone to show you. I would recommend taking at least 500 pesos if you want to eat a lot.

A lively and colorful local market selling all sorts of goods from fresh produce, houseplants, to general Knick knacks and souvenirs. Worth a visit just to check out and get a feel of what the locals eat and shop for.

Great market to go to very tight and packed. Lots of flower and incessant burning. It kinda messed with my nose but it was still a great time.

Great small but clean and organized market. A little bit pricy compared to other markets in the city but if you are in the neighborhood, do visit. Try the amazing tostadas with various toppings in the center of the market.

Colorful market with lots of variety. Vendors are engaging without being overly pushy - thus an enjoyable shopping experience. No foul odor either.
