1. Mercado De Artesanias La Ciudadela
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 945 reviews
For a great selection of Mexican crafts, visit the Ciudadela, four blocks south of the Alameda Park on Balderas Avenue just south of Paseo de la Reforma. It's a semi-covered market that covers 16,000 square meters with more than 200 stalls. It's worth quite a chunk of time if you want the full tour. There are some great comedores (food stalls) if you need a pick-me-up snack or beverage.

We we’re looking for Alebrije (paper mache colorful monsters) and we found a great selection. Lots of junk but the gems are here too.

The market has an assortment of fruits and vegetables which you can expect in most markets. Notable to this market are the various types of cheese and exotic meats which include ostrich, crocodile and various types of insects etc. In the back of the market they have the skinned animals so this might not be the best place for squeamish folks. They have small food stalls/dinners so you can enjoy a various types of food and beautiful piñatas on the ceiling.

We had a great tour of the market - it's sections, history, the produce, the food, the vendors thru our Chef guide, Graciela Montano. We sampled insects as well, which was not bad at all. I got to taste a cacti fruit and it was very nice.
