“ Definitely a must visit on your Mexico city trip. Gives you a flavour of the culture through their fresh produce, variety of meats, spices, liquor and cheeses. Interesting mezcals with scorpions floating in the bottle. The animals are being skinned and chopped right there so have a strong stomach! Tried the famous chocolate pudding fruit here for the 1st time. Although it was really fresh, I personally did not prefer the taste. Also got some dried coriander since I had never tried it in my cooking before. Would recommend going early in the morning to avoid crowds. ”
