Mercado Benito Juarez is a traditional market in the city center of Oaxaca. It's right next to the…read moreZocalo (main square) and is an indoor market filled with fresh food stalls, meat and produce, souvenirs, and other goods. You'll see local delicacies like mezcal, tejate, and grasshoppers by the buckets. Beware that there is a raw meat alley that does not smell good at all if you're sensitive to that. If you're visiting Oaxaca you will most likely visit this market and the adjacent Mercado 20 de Noviembre. It's a glimpse into the daily lives of many local people and the things they eat, drink, and buy.

Another MUST SEE in Oaxaca…read more During our time in Oaxaca we came here several time LOL We ate here, shopped here and explored. You can literally spend all day here This mercado has everything and anything you can think of. Tons of restaurants, and vendors selling seasoned grasshoppers, mole, liquor, chocolate, herbs and spices, ice cream, seafood, meat ect Everyone is super friendly, we felt safe here at all times

This business just opened about 3 months ago. To be honest…read moreI wasn't very convinced about the place, the girls working there don't have much experience and it's hard to get them to answer any of your questions, they couldn't even recommend a good combination of fruits/veggies for a juice. The prices of the produce are a bit high compared to other places in San Felipe, but if you're in a rush or need your produce delivered then this is the right place, specially if your kids go to Instituto San Felipe, as this place is next door to the elementary school. They not just sell produce & juices, there's also tortas, sandwiches & licuados.

This is a wonderful neighborhood market in the Las Flores community. Fruits and vegetables, meat,…read moreseafood, and more. Especially visit the booth of Gloria and Modesta Hernandez Angeles, who sell hand-made tortillas, and freshly-made atole.

I am always looking for organic products, so when I found out there was an organic market in Oaxaca…read moreI knew I had to see it for myself. They have a lot of products and it's been growing a lot since it started. You can find fruit & veggies, meats, prepared food, bread, dairy, seeds, coffee, clothes, even beauty products. I do believe their prices are a bit high, specially since there's a lot of foreigners going there they try to make more money. I remember about 6 months ago my husband went to buy a bag of lettuce, ready to eat, and he paid $50 (he's canadian, english speaking), I went the next week and got the same bag for $35. Also my dad used to buy the Inda Pura water and the coffee guy sold it to him for $45, and when I ask the delivery truck they said it was $18. Apart from that we love having lunch there, stop by with the lady who sells requeson, her tostadas with chileajo are the best I've ever had!

I like coming to this market because you can find a lot of fruits & veggies you don't find anywhere…read moreelse. It is expensive compared to other markets, but it's worth it. I constantly need fresh cranberries, and here you can buy them all year long. They also have different kinds of sprouts (which my husband loves for his sandwiches) and even edible flowers which I use to decorate my desserts sometimes. The lady selling seeds & dried fruit at the entrance has very good quality products and good prices too. Last year I bought big bags of popcorn & chips for my son's birthday, they were really good & fresh. Look for the lady who sells atole, her son has a stall next to her & sells amazing tamales, and on the other side the fried quesadillas are very good too. Also a few meters after the seed lady's stall, stop by the 1st bread stand. They have mini amarillos which make awesome sandwiches for kids and for adults too!
