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.

The cafe de olla had just the right touch of cinnamon and was not sweet, which I prefer. The breakfast came With bolillos, a vanilla concha and a pan de yema. The food area is clean and organized for a mercado. Tables are communal and we had a pleasant interchange with a local couple. The servers were busy, but managed to attend to everyone and even got our special requests (I can't stand cilantro and raw onion, but my husband likes them).

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!
