The best I would highly recommend it to people who want to try out Mexican snacks and for people who would like to buy some nice decorations.
Food: I had a terrific gordita with pork and green chili. It was fresh and well prepared. I also bought some Mexican style snacks. Such as candied peanuts, cajeta, and nut bar. All very authentic and delicious. Service: Most vendors spoke only Spanish. Not really a big problem. They were eager to help. Ambience: It's just like shopping in a local market in Mexico. A beautiful array of very vibrant colors with all sorts of Mexican handicrafts. There is a bakery selling pan dulce. There is a butcher counter selling all types of meats. There is a counter offering Mexican delicacies, such candied camote, calabasa and all types of nuts and seeds for snacking. Summary: It's a great place to spend a day. It offers something for everyone. Lots of toys and notions for the kids. Mexican style embroidered clothing, housewares and much more for women. Boots, shoes, belts, saddles and all types of leather crafts. If you are hungry for a bite to eat there are booths selling all kinds of delicious tacos, burritos, gorditas, agua frescas, and anything else you could desire. And to top it all off...free parking. So for a great day without spending a bunch of money, give the Mercadito a visit. I know I will be coming back soon.
There's a few food stalls, plenty of agua fresca choices, and a panaderia. There are lots of vendors selling toys, clothes, and ceramics. When I got there at 9:30am, there were a few vendors that weren't open yet. It wasn't until 10:30am when all the vendors were open. Some had good deals, others I thought were a little pricey. I understand some things are hand made and others may be imported but the prices didn't seem fair. Not sure if I'll come back to shop but I'll definitely come for the food, aguas, and candy.
Love this place! Good food, anything you need they have, food, candies, deserts, clothes, shoes, kitchen utensils, jewelry, anything Mexican they got it. Love it here.

It seems like every shop carries unique products you will not find anywhere else except Mexico or maybe Olvera Street.

On the lower floor, you can find cool hats, leather goods, cowboy clothing, boots, serapes, blankets, religious statues, crosses, Quinceanera supplies, ceramics, incense, herbal teas, remedies, and food snacks. Walking around here felt surreal in some ways---as if I walked into a 3D Salvador Dali painting. On the second floor, there are clothing, arts, spices, mole, crafts, dried food products, grocery, and Mexican Candy stores to visit. On the top floor, there are restaurants, bars and live music. As you slowly aisle shop, and move from one shop to the next, store owners are waiting patiently to invite you to step inside their shop and take a look. All types of colorful Mexican products can be bought here--from the bizarre to the simple. This place is a mecca for all types of Dia de Los Muertos products, pinatas, delicious food, and clothing.
