Market Square

Frommer's Review

Two large indoor markets, El Mercado and the Farmers' Market -- often just called, collectively, the Mexican market -- occupy adjacent blocks on Market Square. Competing for your attention are more than 100 shops and pushcarts and an abundance of food stalls. The majority of the shopping booths are of the border-town sort, filled with onyx chess sets, cheap sombreros, and the like, but you can also find a few higher quality boutiques, including Galería Ortiz . Come here for a bit of local color, good people-watching, and food -- in addition to the sit-down Mi Tierra, detailed in chapter 5, and La Margarita, there are loads of primo places for street snacking. You'll often find yourself shopping to the beat of a mariachi band.
