Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

While in San Miguel de Allende this market is a must visit. Don’t forget to continue and walk through to Mercado de Artesanías which connects to this market. There’s a fruit stand in the center of the market with huge cups of fresh fruit juices and limonada that is delicious. There’s also a Gorditas de Nata ( sweet gorditas with Nutella or sweetened condensed milk filling) stand outside the market on the sidewalk by the entrance. My girls went back 3 days in a row for these. Never saw these types of sweet gorditas anywhere else.

I think I went every day to shop, people watch, and take pictures. What a wonderful place. It is something very unique and interesting. Don’t miss it.

This is "the place" to shop for just about anything - starting with fresh produce and other foods, moving briefly onto clothing, cowboy boots and small appliances, then into the main section with talavera pottery, toys, jewelry, bolsas, and other goodies. If you are bored, just take a long stroll through the mercado and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells.

It's hard to write about how much I love el Mercado. I've been coming here since I was a small child with my dad, who loved to take my sister and I out for tortas (delicious grilled sandwiches on french rolls) and chocomilks. This time, I travelled to San Miguel with my sister as an adult---a new experience that gave me new perspective on just how magical San Miguel is. We did a lot of things in our four days in SMA, but every day started with a trip to the mercado for a flavored atole---a completely new experience to us both. Holy MOLEY. How had I never had these before? The best atole stand is outside the market in an area covered with a roof where you will also see lots of women selling handmade gorditas, nopales, cheeses, and other assorted vegetables (the gorditas and nopales are always particularly delicious). Towards the back wall, you will find a bustling stand with about a dozen bright orange large thermoses. Try the galleta, the cascara, and the guayaba atoles---seriously, they are something special. Grab a half dozen of the delicious handmade tamales when you are there and you will be all set. If you're still hungry (impossible, really), go inside the market building and have some fresh juices or a chocomilk. This is a special, special place---don't miss it for fear of eating "street food". Every Mexican knows that this is actually the most delicious comfort food there is, so eat with confidence.

Everything you are interested in taking home from SMA - or eating while you are in SMA is here. The prices are great, you will even see locals shopping in the clothing and produce sections. You will see similar items all over town - but the prices here are really great. Several booth even have artisans at work - making the things they are selling.

We loved wandering around this busy local market full of everything from crafts to apparel to produce to flowers to repaired food. A highlight of our trip to San Miguel to be sure!

This is a very authentic local market. Aisles and aisles of produce and flowers, intermingled with counters selling food to go or eat there. If you want to experience shopping like the locals do, this is the place. However, no meat or fish. For this, there are several more traditional shops across the street. The market also morphs into an area selling shoes and clothing. I'm sure bargains abound but we were more interested in the sights, tastes and smells of the food. No prices are listed...too bad because it's fun to compare what we pay at home.

This "mercado" is an excellent place to stock up on fruits if you are staying near it in San Miguel de Allende, GTO. Produce are fresh. No prices are indicated. Better ask the price before buying.

Went in the morning for a fresh squeezed orange juice, we were walking around and saw people eating huaraches. We decided to try one and they were AMAZING. Lots of local and foreign tourists eating at the Veloz Huaraches. Its the one with lots of people. Try them, you'll love them.
