Hubbers and I came through here twice during our weeklong stay in Merida simply to explore and…read moremaybe score some souvenirs. This whole place felt so familiar as it is reminiscent of many public markets in the Philippines. Everything is sectioned off - religious relics on adjacent aisles, shoes and clothing in another area, some eateries serving hot food (how they can stand this being inside and hot is still beyond me), then the very many fruit vendors. You have to option of buying and prepping the yourself, or you can get 'em peeled and sliced and ready to eat. I also saw plenty of kibi vendors (which, I regret to say, I didn't get to try.) I left empty handed, but it was an experience just simply walking through. I'd return even if it's just to try a street kibi!

A legit market frequented mostly by locals as best as I could tell on a recent visit. You can…read morepretty much get anything you want from fresh produce, meat, seafood, clothing, shoes, shoe repair, and so much more. You could readily spend several hours here, but quite crowded in some areas. I was just passing through as part of exploring Merida -- and definitely worth a visit in my opinion. Also, just a few minutes on foot from several parks/gathering places, and stores/shops and restaurants (all around).

Matter of fact there are 18 different culinary options. PRO TIP: If you're going on the weekend, get there early to grab and chair and tabletop. The staff is super attentive and it's incredible people-watching. PRO TIP 2: There are not a lot of vegan options but some dishes and plates can be veganized, just ask the vendor from one of the many options. Some nights there are live bands or beer yoga! and other special events so check out their website. I really enjoyed Mercado 60 and can't wait to go back for more eats and cold beers.

We sort of stumbled on this market which is only about a block south of the main zocalo. Seemed…read morelike the stalls were selling the same kinds of goods that were being sold in the pricey stores around the zocalo but at much more reasonable prices. Little or no English was spoken here as it seemed to be aimed at a more local clientele, however, a little Spanish went a long way and we had no trouble negotiating our purchases. Highly recommend.
