Anything and everything you could possibly want you can find here. It is a huge market with hundreds of local vendors selling locally grown produce. They also have meats cheeses dried goods etc. They're also some food and drink stands where you can have a breakfast or lunch while you are here. As it does get very crowded be very aware of your surroundings keep your phone in your pocket and watch out for pickpocketers.
I buy vegetables and fruits only here, the choice is very large, prices are lower than in the supermarket. For example, 1 kilo bananas about 500 peso or 3 kilos for 1000 pesos and in the supermarket - about 1000 pesos for 1 kilo. In fact, in this market you can find everything. but you always need to keep eye of your pockets and wallet, there are many robbers , be careful
If you are looking for fruits, fish, dairy products, look no longer! This is the place! Prices are great!
……………….Its never a dull moment when you take time out to pay a visit to the fresh produce market in any part of the world whether to buy or just to observe and where you are met by a cornucopia of life's foods displayed in a kaleidoscope of different colours. Here is the place where people don’t come in their Sunday best but just in ordinary day to day cloths to serve the nation. Most of the time at these places you will by no means not discover a new type of fruit or vegetable that you have not ever seen in your own market in your home country. And your lungs are exposed to a new fragrance of all the fresh produce chucked together in one massive warehouse so the smell is not stale but fresh and new as every day new fruit and veg are brought here. Still there is a new smell to be experienced when you leave the stalls area on your way out where you encounter all the Skips filled with the fermented rotting wasted and withered garbage that is foul-smelling yet another kind of experience that is a must to do when visiting the market places of the world. One other reason for our visit here was that we were told by our daughter-in-law that the best and genuine Venezuelan empanadas were to be had here from VENEZOLANOS Gourmet en la Vega so we just had to come around and try them, They are made fresh-lii while you wait. The flavours of the fillings on offer were among other Queso(cheese), Pabellon, Operado, Mechada, Domino, chicken(pollo), dogfish(cazon) The dogfish we just had to savour and it was good even the meat-ii ones were very good, we also had the Tequeno de queso (cheese croquettes) enhanced with a coriander dip. There is a whole row of different food-stalls here to choose from. We real-lii enjoyed our visit here………………..
This market is full of locals all selling meat and vegetables. It's hectic and crowded with people always on the move. Overall, I felt pretty safe with moving through the crowds and there is security at certain spots throughout it. There is not as much food ready to eat as I thought, mainly raw meat and vegetables.
Huge market with anything you could be looking for! My favorite part was the Fruit & Veggie part of the market (accessible from Racoleta), but I went there again a week later and found out that that is only a tiny part of it! The deeper into the market you go, the more you find, including housewares, meat and fish, dried sundries, and so much more. Give yourself time to explore. There's no bartering, but you can ask for different quantities than posted (i.e. ask for 1/4 kilo of raspberries instead of having to buy a whole kilo). Take smaller bills, as small stall owners often have trouble rounding up change for large bills.
Great spot to check out the local life of the city where everyone comes to get their local produce, meat & poultry, etc. Tons of food stalls serving up cooked foods at fantastic prices as well. Large space and not super crowded although the inside has many corridors so be sure to not get lost in the labyrinth. Lots of areas are covered which makes it a fantastic place to take refuge from the sun.
