In Mexico City, Mercado San Juan is a gastronomic wonderland for foodies. It offers some of the freshest produce, herbs and exotic meets (like ostrich and alligator) and also has a huge selection of artisan cheeses and meats. Check out the western side of the market where the comodores are a cluster of prepared food stands, serving everything from fresh quesadillas to hot pozoles.
