Comida en la Mercado



One of the best places in Mexico to eat comida (or "lunch" which is eaten at about 3pm) is in the local market. The food is delicious, the people friendly, the surroundings colourful and interesting and the price great.

Today we enjoyed chicken soup, Pi Pi An Verde (kind of a chicken curry in a green/sesame sauce), frijoles (beans) and tortillas for approximately $3. We washed it down with a litre of orange juice, freshly squeezed whilst we waited, for $1.50. So for under $5 we ate like kings and waddled away from our market stall between the aisles of fresh fruit, chicken, meat and any kind of dried chilli or frijole you could imagine.
