Mercado 1 de Surquillo

Marketplace with stalls selling fruit, meat, souvenirs, clothes. When we visited the inside space was closed, it was all outdoor stalls (perhaps it's no longer open inside?). Not a huge place, just a few rows of stalls. Fun to try some fruits previously unknown to us. Sellers don't hassle you to buy from them, which is nice.

El market is no longer active int the building, but you are able to see the stands outside and it’s very lively, even on an odd raining day!

Mercado Nº 1 de Surquillo is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of the vibrant Surquillo district. I stumbled upon this market during my visit to Lima and was instantly captivated by the array of fresh produce, local specialties, and the lively atmosphere. The stalls boast a kaleidoscope of colors, offering everything from exotic fruits to aromatic spices. The sheer variety is a testament to the rich culinary tapestry of Peru. The vendors are friendly and eager to share their knowledge about the products. Whether you're a foodie looking for unique ingredients or a traveler wanting to immerse yourself in local culture, Mercado Nº 1 de Surquillo is a must-visit. Don't miss the chance to savor authentic Peruvian flavors and soak in the bustling energy of this market. It's an experience that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.

It is a must visit. They have a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and dried fruits. You can buy fresh juices, smoothies and sandwiches. As a tourist would recommend going with a guide here so that you can learn more about the local produce.

Large local market. Excellent selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and seafood. A nice stop if you’re in Miraflores Lima Peru Not a top turistic attraction, but in my personal opinion a place you should visit if you want to explore the “local” side of Peru. Enjoy it I wish we’d have more fruits and vegetables in US, not to mention the prices, 0.99 cents for an orange 🍊 🥲 in Florida 🇵🇪

Awesome local market with beautiful fresh produce and very good value food stalls. Good vibe & very safe, great place to wander around for a while to marvel at the amazing produce Peru has to offer.

Very cool place to spend time and eat fresh ceveche..very fresh!! The abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables is mind boggling. The vendors are great, and not aggressive as are some foreign mercados can be. Loved it!

Great place to stop if you are in miraflores and want to experience the real food of Lima and not in an expensive restaurant. Here you can find many restaurants who sell "menu" which is a cheap delicious meal of your choice that comes with an appetizer, drink, and entree which costs from 12-16 soles depending on what you order. There is also fresh juices you can order 7 soles a pop and people who sell tamales in the morning at around 2 soles a tamale. Awesome spot. If you are on a budget or just want to experience the real cuisine of normal Limeans you need to stop here
