Mercado 20 de Noviembre

Reviewed By thelonious22

Mercado 20 de Noviembre was a busy but fun place to get cheap street food. While it can get overwhelming with every vendor shoving a menu in your face, it was a great place to try lot of Oaxacan snacks like tlayudas (like a Oaxacan version of pizza) and tamales. My favorite was the Pasillo de Carnes Asadas where you can pick the meat to be grilled and eat it on the spot buying the condiments and tortillas separately.

Mercado de Artesanias de Santo Domingo

Reviewed By bondtk - Franklin, United States

This is a maze of vendors (like a flea market) covered with tarps where you can buy all kinds of various things from clothing, gifts, souvenirs, food, etc. If you know how to negotiate in Spanish, you can get great deals (better to go with a native Spanish speaker who knows how to negotiate to get the best deals). Many booths sell the same items. Be prepared to have children and other adults walking around try to get you to buy their wares as well. So hard to say “no” as that’s their livelihood but you just can’t buy from everyone.

Mercado Sanchez Pascuas

Reviewed By bberwyn

After nearly 2 months in Oaxaca and the surrounding area, we've picked this as our favorite market. It's not quite as loud and hectic as the larger mercados near the zocalo. It's more focused on fresh food rather than tourist souvenirs. The tamale stand near the market entrance off the Calle de Tinoco y Palacios is out of this world. Try the rajas, the amarillo, the dulce ... heck, try them all, we did and you can't go wrong. We bought our supplies for Christmas dinner here, including the richest, smokiest salsas I've ever tasted, and the freshies at the bakery stands are just as good. Super Jugos Angelita is the best juice bar in town, great price and so friendly, Ask them for the special The neighborhood around the market is equally wonderful. Check out the tortilla and chocolate shops just outside the market along the Calle Porfirio Diaz.

Mercado de Abastos

This large flea market on the outskirts of town features hundreds of local vendors selling foods and arts and crafts.

Reviewed By origamimoon

I heard that the market had a problem with pickpockets. I did not have any problems but as with any place in the world it pays to be careful. Keep your money and valuables in a safe place. Don’t carry your cellphone in your hand, don’t wear expensive jewelry. Don’t act like a tourist.
