BEWARE FOREIGNERS!!!
If you want an authentic experience of a Mexican market, don’t bother come here, this is tailored for foreigners that don’t mind overspending for sub par quality and that they hear organic and flock there just to say they bought organic.
ASK ANY LOCAL MEXICAN, they’ll you.
Many Mexican markets and farmers markets are organic by definition they don’t use fertilizers because in Mexico farmers just can’t afford it and they don’t bother get into the organic discussion, it just is, no marketing stunts like here. You want a real Market experience go to La Central de abastos, the biggest distribution food center in Latin America, or Mercado de Jamaica or a street farmers market (called tianguis in Spanish).
There’s also no certification In México whatsoever to prove that this market is organic.
The slogan for this place would be:
Overpriced, overhyped, allegedly organic, for clueless foreigners.
Pd; my girlfriend loves this market so she would kill me if she sees this, but she’s German and didn’t know the real deal
