Customer Reviews

We were confused whether to visit Mercado 28 or Mercado 23. After reading about Mercado 28 being a tourist trap, we decided to visit Mercado 23. We loved this place! Highly recommended for grabbing your souvenirs from CancĂșn! Friendly shopkeepers, fair prices, and a relaxed vibe. We didn't find it touristy at all. During Christmas there are huge options for Christmas decorations. Carry cash; with credit cards you pay 5% extra, but service stays warm! Would highly recommend!

Yes market 23 is a lot more local than market 28 is, it still have some bags and touristy things and trinkets but there's a long lineup of local people trying to buy meat so I guess the prices are good

Mercado 23 in CancĂșn is a great local market where you can experience authentic Mexican culture. Itâs less touristy than Mercado 28, with stalls selling fresh produce, spices, handmade crafts, and local foods. The atmosphere is lively and colorful, and prices are generally reasonable. A perfect place to see how locals shop and to pick up some genuine souvenirs or snacks!
