Very large, daily held market in Xochimiico! Everything thing I think you could possible want of…read moreneed was here! Clothes, fresh fruit, meat, juice, Toys, handmade jewelry, shoes, purses...even sign up for local yoga classes! I bought a gourd from an outside, sidewalk vendor since I decorate gourd's in US.

My first time at this market was a wonderful experience. We walked around aimlessly for a good…read morehour before we finally decided on a place to eat. It seemed like most of the small restaurants inside of the market were offering fish platters, which none of us had the appetite for today. There was one long stretch of hall that probably had twenty or more little Independent restaurants. Everyone had pozole and pancita which again was something relatively new for everyone. We found one special restaurant and we all at pollo asado con feiiles and arroz. Two large pitchers of Jamaica juice was included. The service and food were great. The market was even more interesting and they have everything.

Great market, especially on Sundays!…read more Lots of food stalls to choose from serving up fresh Mexican eats. Get the Tlacoyos, apparently only available on Saturday and Sunday and only available in Xochimilco. This is a huge market, give yourself some time to explore. Buy all the food and drinks that you want to bring on the boat rides down the canal.

About 1 mile from the Embarcadero, it's a little far walking... we walked and wished we took a cab…read more The streets were horrendous, full of dog poop and very sketchy in some parts. But we made it okay. It's like any foreign market. There's a meat section, candy, clothing, hot food and just everything. Like the markets in Thailand, Vietnam, etc. We explored a little before settling at the hot foods. We got some seafood cocktail, which was ok- the cocktail was too sweet. Didn't like it but seafood was good. And ended up at this taco place. Got the campanchana taco and arrechera. Super meaty, super fresh, and good! And the good thing is no upset stomach!! Lol. Didn't have room for anything else but if you're in the area, hit it up.

El Tacuche Arabe is by far one of my favorite taquerias to enjoy delicious tacos al pastor in…read moreMexico City! I've been coming to this locations for years! They started a simple tromp in a corner with just 4-5 seating spots, and where people from the neighborhood used to order their tacos to-go. Fast forward to 2019 and this simple taqueria now has indoor seating, TVs playing sports, and two al pastor trompos! My go-to order is their tacos al pastor planchados. Planchados means that they will cook the meat a little longer and with some burnt parts. Their meat is always super flavourful and of really good quality. Their salsas are also pretty amazing and my favorite ones are the orange and green one. This taqueria is not on a tourist area of town but if by any chance you find yourself near this area, I highly recommend them!
