Mercado Borbón

The Mercado Borbón is a true sensory experience of sights and smells, and you might catch the daily hand-truck race among the workers. The focus is on produce, though it sells a bit of everything. Be aware: the streets can get sketchy around the Borbón. Keep a close watch on your bag.
