"Much like Lagunilla, Portales offers antiques, vintage, and used goods to pedestrians willing to trek further south of the city, but unlike Lagunilla, these wares are priced towards locals, not tourists. Expect steep discounts on one-of-a-kind objects to take with you back home, ranging from furniture, antique books and notebooks, masks, kitchen goods, and homewares. Its location is non-descript in the streets behind the Portales metro stop and the warehouse also called Mercado Portales—ask a local for Mercado Portales de antiguidades . They will point you the right way." - Scarlett Lindeman, Lauren Stroh
