Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Mexico Area

"I am a market lover, if you haven't guessed it yet, and Mexico is the country of colourful and traditional mercados where many locals still go shopping or have lunch. My favourite food market in the historical centre is Mercado San Juan, famous for its huge variety of exotic products - meat, insects, fruits and vegetables - as well as a very special attention to customers. Among its gourmet products, it is well renowned for its fishes’ quality."

"Mercado de San Juan is situated near the historic center, so a stop here won’t be too far out of your way. This market is know for its selection of exotic meats, like crocodile and wild boar. Just wandering through and people watching is an experience."

"Address: Balderas S/N, Colonia Centro, Centro, Cuauhtémoc, 06040 Cuauhtémoc, CDMX, Mexico | Phone: +52 55 5510 1828 | Website | Market open 10 am to 7 pm daily (closes 6 pm Sundays). If you’re looking to shop for local handicrafts or folk art, or just a colorful souvenir to take home from Mexico, definitely check out the market at the Mercado de Artesanías La Ciudadela, close to the historic center. At this market, you’ll find stalls of artists and vendors lined up along the street and hawking their art and wares to locals and travelers alike."

"S/N, Balderas, Colonia Centro, Centro, 06040 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico. Looking for traditional Mexican crafts and home wares, such as the beautifully colored, hand-painted bowls and plates you've eaten off of at so many restaurants?. Head to La Ciudadela, an artists' market that for more than a century has drawn..."

"A dizzying selection of covetable crafts (hand-embroidered linens, leather sandals, embellished mirrors) at reasonable prices. Balderas and Plaza de La Ciudadela No. 1&5"

"Or, if you’re a museum buff, stop into the National Anthropology Museum or the Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacán — both world famous and easy places to spend an afternoon. Whatever you decide to do, make sure to finish off your evening with some authentic Mexican tacos. You’ll have no trouble finding them in and around Condesa, but a solid option if you’re nearby is El Pescadito, which serves up a mean fish taco."

"Coyocan market was next for tostadas, and a quick stop for some helado at El Portal de Sabor. Uber to San Angel neighborhood for Bazaar Sabado. The bazaar was the whole reason we went down to this area on Saturday – it’s the only day of this amazing market. There’s an inside that’s very upscale, but the vendors outside had good stuff for better prices."

"This picturesque neighborhood just southwest of Coyoacan was probably our favorite area in Mexico City. If you’re in Coyoacan, make the short trip here, and you won’t be disappointed."

"Mercado de Medellín is one of Mexico City’s markets that’s truly enjoyable and manageable. Covering a one square block in Roma Norte, you can leisurely walk through it without feeling overwhelmed. This is the perfect market to acclimate yourselves with neighborhood food markets in Mexico City."

"This classic Mexican market has it all: housewares, craft supplies, produce, meat and fish, pastes for making mole, and one of the best flower selections in the city. In true Mexican mercado tradition, most of the vendors will gift you freebies..."

"2pm: Grab lunch at the Mercado de Coyoacán. This fantastic indoor market was said to have been frequented by Kahlo when she was alive, and it has a great assortment of foods to choose from. Either eat as you browse or head to the neighbouring Jardín Centenario to enjoy your lunch alfresco style. Alternatively, give seafood a go at the famous El Jardin del Pulpo."

"Seriously you have to go here for the best tostados you will likely eat in your entire life – they are just that good. They have every filling you could imagine and and they pile them on. The market is huge so you might be wandering around for a while until you find the bright yellow tostadas restaurants section but once you do you’ll know."

"As well as its famous tostadas, this Mexico City market in Coyoacan is known for street food, souvenirs, pinatas, and flowers. Here you can try many traditional Mexican dishes from breakfast chilaquiles to meaty tacos. Don’t miss La Cocina de mi Mamá Coyoacán, a modest, traditional Mexican cafe."

"Another Polanco option is the less exclusive Pabellon Polanco, with clean white walls and some lesser-known brands, such as Tanya Moss for jewelry, Fiorentina for clothes and Prada for shoes (not to be confused with the Italian luxury brand of the same name). There are also some great beauty salons if you need a quick blow-dry or manicure. It’s smaller than some of the Mexican malls on our list but also notably quieter."

"The Pabellón Polanco is a casual shopping complex in the cultural Polanco district where you can buy footwear, health and beauty related products, clothes, and they even have a Ferrari shop. If you get peckish, stop by at the fast food joints and restaurants, including a TGIF, to have a bite after some serious retail therapy. Pabellón Polanco also has regular sales and also offers generous discounts on your purchases."

"Small but perfectly formed and sitting in the Coyoacán district, made famous for being the home of Frida Kahlo, is the Centro Coyoacán shopping mall. Opened in 1989 and designed by architect Javier Sordo Madaleno, this mall is still going strong and houses more than 100 shops and boutiques. With stores such as Kiehl’s, Mango and Zara, Centro Coyoacán suits all budgets and tastes."

"Shops surrounding the central courtyard of a beautifully restored, 18th-century colonial-era building sell upmarket crafts, ceramics, chocolate and clothes. For a shopping break, there are sleek restaurants to..."

"Among the most beautiful of museums in the south of the city, the Carillo Gil was named for the contemporary collector and mid-20th-century super-benefactor, Dr. Álvar Carrillo Gil. With a permanent collection of some 2,000 pieces by blue-chip Mexican artists like Orozco, Rivera and especially Siqueiros, it’s a must-see for the twilight of Mexican Modernism. But a renewed focus on contemporary art keeps things fresh and includes 300 drawings, paintings, engravings, lithographs, collages, photographs, installations, artists’ books, sculptures, videos and more."
