Have Yourself a Delicious Little Christmas: The Mercado Medellín Night Market

For those visiting or living in la CDMX be sure to pass by the Mercado Medellín night market to see Christmas in full throttle. Stands line the east side of the market and besides offering Christmas trees, feature decorations of all kinds, some ticky-tacky from China, others handmade.

But better, are the food puestos which open after dark and remain in service until midnight. These offer a variety of antojitos from pozole to enchiladas to sopes. Jolly diners fill long picnic tables set up in the street. There is warm (non-alcoholic) punch to wash it all down and flan or buñuelos with honey for dessert. This is a don't-miss Navidad tradition in the city.

The Mercado Medellín is located between Monterrey and Medellín, Coahuila and Campeche in the Colonia Roma. If you arrive by Metrobus, get off at Campeche and walk east. Nearest metro would be Chilpancingo. Open seven days a week until past midnight. The night market will be there through December 23rd.
