I had a quick trip to Mexico City. During the trip this market caught my eye. There a handful of them scattered across the city. This is just the one I entered. It has all sorts of stands. The typical ones selling vegetables and fruits, along with some of the interesting ones selling spices, insects souvenirs. A handful of stands served food and drinks. Highly recommend to pass by ones of these get a quick look at the many street stands under one roof.

I expected more food stalls vs. Grocery products and produce. Very clean. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish, beef and chicken. Many cheese stalls. Worth a stop just not what I expected.

We went early on a Saturday morning, before everything was open. But still found good coffee, fruit and, soon, a good hot breakfast.

Expansive market, anything you could ever want is here. If you’re just visiting, or a foreigner it’s easy to get lost. 100% worth the visit.

Nice market with small restaurants to have a great coffee or some tapas. Looks like it doesn’t only cater to locals but is also super interesting to visit as a tourist

The market is located in the former cigar factory established by French-born millionaire Ernesto (Ernest) Pugibet who made his fortunes in Mexico in the XIXth century. You can still see the inscription on the corner façade of the building, "Compania Cigarrera Mexicana"; it is even located on the street bearing the company's founder's name, Calle Ernesto Pugibet.
The market is known for its gourmet and "exotic" products, and offers tons of different meats, charcuterie, cheeses, fish, seafood and produce.
Many vendors offers snacks, sandwiches, and beverages at the tables positioned outside.
There is restroom in the back of the market, for a nominal fee of 5 peso (you get one square of toilet paper for that).
