Mercado de Coyoacán is a short 10 minute walk from the Frida Kahlo Museum. After visiting the…read moremuseum (if you decide to go, you do need to purchase tickets 1- 2 weeks in advance because they do not sell tickets at the door), we visited this mercado in search of something for lunch and also to browse. We visited this market 2 Tuesdays ago. We ended up deciding to stop by a food vendor (Jugos y Coctetes Alexis) that is known for their fruit juices and fresh foods because I decided that I really wanted a salad. As much as I am truly loving a lot of the local food (and the street tacos are amazing here in Mexico and so is the birria), I was longing for a salad and something nice and fresh. I ended up getting a burrito and a fruit salad (which was much larger than I expected and really a perfect size for 2). My husband got 3 tacos that came with fries and nopales. We also got a mojito which was really nice and refreshing and was perfect (this is non alcoholic and do not think this food vendor serves alcohol). I think it was not made with any added sugar, which is what I really loved. Afterwards, we did browse the market and ended up purchasing some souvenirs to bring back home such as Lucha Libre Masks for our nephews (they do sell kid size masks if you are looking for those and are a little cheaper) and also a few masks for our friends (adults) as well. Purchasing these masks here in Mexico City is significantly cheaper than purchasing at home (They are $20 USD for the cheaper versions on Amazon and $25 USD from the vendors selling at the LA County Fair for those that are from my neck of the woods). I also purchased a few small Día de los Muertos figurines because I really love the way they look and also love that Día de los Muertos celebrates our loved ones who have passed away. We also purchased some vegetables as well to take back to our Airbnb to cook (yes I am one of those people who cook even on vacation). Overall, we had a really great experience at this market and would recommend coming here for a visit.

Cool shops and lots of unique souvenir options! I would shop around for prices and compare them to…read morethe shops outside of the market too. Some items vary A LOT in prices.
