This afternoon, we took the Metro over to La Merced, the biggest market in Mexico City. It was huge! It seemed like it went on for miles. We probably explored about 10% of it today. There were dried chiles and spices piled high, all sorts of fruits and vegetables, and a huge kitchen supply section. Of course there was tons of street food too. We didn't try any there, but we did have some delicious deep fried quesadillas from a cart on the way to the subway. They were so good, so cheap and so covered in some of the hottest hot sauce that I've ever had. At the end of the day, our prize from the market was a mortar and pestle set carved from volcanic rock shaped like a pig called a molcajete.
El Metro
¡Piñatas!
Tons of people and stuff!
We bought some adobo paste from this stand and are going to have delicious tacos!
Holy jalapeños!
Bananas anyone? Yuck!
Our prize! The molcajete!
