"Oaxaca can get hot by early afternoon — cool off by heading to the oldest market in the city, Mercado Benito Juárez." - María Ítaka

"Put on some closed-toe shoes and your favorite cross-body, and head into the city’s main marketplace: Mercado Benito Juarez. Start with the food stands and taste typical snacks like pan-griddled tlayudas and rich chocolate caliente, all while enjoying the unrivaled people-watching scene. While you won’t be able to recreate the whole experience back home, the building next door sells ingredients, many of which you can pack. Scoop up a ball of mole, fresh cheese, and a sealed bag of fried grasshoppers, known as chapulines—believe it or not, they’re a popular local drinking snack, and no doubt, a conversation starter at home."

Excellent local market where you can find absolutely any and everything from fresh meats, flowers, seafood, breads, vegetables and cheese to clothing, shoes and baskets. Definitely give them a visit when in Centro Oaxaca.

A good place to purchase spices, condiments and local food goods. They also had a large variety of clothing. Everything was very reasonably priced.

A great mercado in centro with an equal amount of food, apparel, crafts and artesian goods. There are also pets/animals sold here. On the outskirts you can find produce, fried crickets, and jewelry. It is a sensory experience and you can easily spend a couple hours walking all around looking at all the beautiful colors and offerings of the market.

Go there, do like the locals eat an ice cream, the oldest place. Enjoy the typically on going life. Fruits & vegetables not very common but really local and cheap. Buy some souvenirs.

Sprawling market with just about anything you can imagine, from clothing to raw meat to peppers and much more. We went on a Wednesday and it wasn't too busy but I can imagine it gets much crazier when more people are out and about. An interesting cultural exploration.

The best market we have been to in all of Mexico. It’s full of live, good size, excellent food. The atmosphere is sizzling.

Is it grounded environment but it is packed with all types of shopping and eating experiences. They offer all the cultural cuisines and artisanal wares you can ask for. It's a must go for all tourists and an easy place to find souvenirs and garments
