Mercado Benito Juarez
Everything from clothing and leather goods to mole, fresh fruits, flowers, and bulk grains. For meats, prices are a bit high for being unrefrigerated, you might want to try a supermarket instead. One of the few places in town to find brown rice (ask the bulk grain vendors for arroz integrál) or cigarette lighters (check the sidewalk vendors in the area).

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.
