Mercado Postal Zona, Benito Juárez

Open - Limited Services / Capacity

_

The Mercado Postal Zona is among the best-loved of Public Markets in the northeast of the Benito Juárez Alcaldía. It’s not an ancient tianguis, and it’s not a super-visited tourist area.

But this market seems to make up for it in sheer enthusiasm. Public markets that maintain an active social media presence are often the markets most welcoming to outsiders. For international visitors that can be a big reassurance. Walking inside is even more reassuring.

Lots of international visitors will think this is a great place to buy kilos of fruit. It is that. But in fact, the market is a great place for prepared food too. If you’ve had your fill of street food and tacos, head for the market.
