Mercado 20 de Noviembre

A market the size of a city block, filled with breakfast and lunch food stalls. Food stalls also line the streets outside the market serving up hot, savory tlayudas and tostadas. Local women offer up chapulines (grasshopper), and you'll find countertops inside that serve up moles, soups and desserts. There are 4 entrances, at the center of each street that surrounds the market. The east-side entrance, facing C. Cabrera, has the Pasillo de Humo, a narrow hall filled with smoke from the meat vendors who cook your purchase for you right there; arguably one of the best deals on ready-to-eat meat in town.
