Great place to visit and try various types of food. Merchants were friendly and took the time to answer my questions and explain how things were made or even what certain items were. Check out the tortilla business near the front of the market. It uses an automated system to churn out 500 fresh tortillas an hour. The ceviche tostada that we had near the market’s center was amazing. Extremely fresh and tasty and the salsas were fantastic - hot, but not so overwhelmingly hot as to mask the flavors of the very fresh ingredients. At Pepe Coyotes we shared a “Big Taco” - de cecina negra. (I forgot to take a picture before we started to eat.) Everything we tried was super tasty and very reasonable. I wished I had a market similar to this in my neighborhood. I’d go everyday to gather fresh ingredients for meals, and would have fresh flowers in the house all the time.

I love Coyoacan Market. And to know that it’s only blocks away from where Frida used to live, I imagine her walking by the market every day, and looking at all the food, clothes, and intricate trinkets. Of course, I was told that what they’re most famous for, is the tostadas, so you just have to find that big giant yellow stand. I ordered two shrimp tostadas and they were pretty good! I also ordered a giant Aztec Soup. That was good but just a little salty for my taste. There’s also a meat, market section, and other food stores as well. It’s not a huge market, but it’s intimate enough to explore If you visit the Frida museum, this should be your next stop.

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.

Super cool market in the southern part of Mexico City that offered a smaller community experience. It’s still a pretty busy area with cars and people starting around 11am, but it’s not too crowded where you can’t walk. The market offered your typical meat section, local eateries, and fruit stands. There are also stands outside to buy shirts and other trinkets. For lunch I went to Mama’s Cocina (west side of the market building) and the food was great! We even talked to the chef/owner about the World Cup, history behind his spot, and he offered other local suggestions to us too!

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. The produce and meat are definitely cheaper than going to the grocery store. A must see when visiting Mexico City!

I am so happy I had the opportunity to visit this market. There were so many shops and cafes inside, it was so hard to decide which direction to go and explore. We ended up accomplishing multiple goals... we purchased a couple alebrijes (brightly colored, folk art sculptures of magical creatures), tried some delicious food, and most importantly, I got my fix of esquites (Mexican street corn). Don't miss this gem of a place. The entire Coyoacan neighborhood is colorful, beautiful, and safe to walk around in. The people are so incredibly loving and kind.
