Medellín Market

"Latin American Flavors at Mercado Medellín All of Mexico City 's neighborhood markets are fun to browse, with their rows and rows of colorful stalls and equally colorful characters, and you can't go wrong ducking into any one of these mercados as you come across them in your wanderings. Mercado Medellín is particularly favored among expats from other parts of Latin America, as it specializes in foodstuffs from Caribbean and Central and South American countries. This is also a superb market to visit if you're hungry. Vendors sell everything from Colombian ajíaco to Cuban ice cream, so don't hesitate to graze your way through the treats on offer."

"This classic Mexican market has it all: housewares, craft supplies, produce, meat and fish, pastes for making mole, and one of the best flower selections in the city. In true Mexican mercado tradition, most of the vendors will gift you freebies upon purchase: a piece of fruit, a rose, or a slice of cheese. I usually start my visit in the housewares section, which has great, traditional stuff: brightly striped kitchen towels, enamel cookware, citrus juicers, and more. After stuffing my tote bag with ripe mangoes, fresh fava beans, local mushrooms, and bunches of palm leaves, I stop by the candy section for a handful of chili-pineapple gummies."

"Medellín Market, or Mercado Medellín, is a one-square-block public market in Roma Sur that supplies the neighborhood with quality fruits and vegetables. It's popular since it's one of the only places in the city where you can find produce and goods from other Latin American countries; Colombian and Honduran flags fly from various stalls selling rare imported vegetables. You can also pick up dry goods, flowers, craft beers, dried chiles, moles, and handcrafted furniture." - Scarlett Lindeman, Lauren Stroh
