Mercado Central was a Mexican style market, selling ethnic foods, clothing and trinkets. It is in the middle of the city surrounded by all sorts of different Mexican shops.
I think that taking Spanish in college would greatly benefit me, I could not read any of the advertisements on any of the buildings. I really wanted to eat in the market but I could not read the meau, so I opted out!
When I go visit my Grandmother in Arizona there are bakeries like this all over, authentic Mexican pastries. Personally these sweets are not sweet enough for me....notice there is NO chocolate anywhere!
The market like the Hmong Market was fun to walk around and see what different cultures use as their staple items, and how they interact with one another. I did not feel so out of place here as in the Hmong Market. I was surprised that there was not a place selling fresh produce (at least I never found it). I really wanted to buy some fresh tortillas as I love them but I never found anyone selling those either.
