Cool spot. Everyone says "it's my turn" when you walk past their shop trying to convince you to go in.

Talk to the right person and you can get exactly what your looking for

Restaurants where all great. Everyone will treat you like family. prices for food are more than fair.

Dont buy anything for the initial price, always counter with almost half, if you like bartering you'll have a great time.

A lot of options, huge number of shops. These shops carry authentic local Mexican art. You can bargain, but remember that these are mostly hand crafted articles, so a lot of effort goes into each item.
There is enough parking on all four sides of the squarish market. There is a food court, did not try it but seemed to have a lot of options.
This place is about 15-30 mins from hotel zone, depending on your hotel.

This place is filled with awesome food places and gift shops. Though almost all of the shops are one way or other gift shops. Selling bags dress and even tequilas.

We also saw mariachi playing here.
Overall a nice place. Has parking on all four sides of it. So don't forget where you parked.
We spent 20 minutes trying to find where we parked.

Nice local market and mostly friendly sellers.
Plenty of parking around the market if that's a concern.
Do negotiate for sure.

You can pickup food in the middle or around the market. There is a Super AKI grocery store at the corner to complement your purchases

I really like the leather shops - quality stuff made in Mexico

Extremely fun and very lively.
Everyone was extremely friendly and very welcoming.
There are so many places to just gorge on food.
I know Mexico is super known for its tequila and artisanal liquors, but I think more people should try to go taco hopping instead.
I can't wait to come back to this ocean side gem.

There are a lot of local people selling items here. You have to bargain for a better price. The people are persistent about you buying something. They are nice there and never rude if you don't buy. This place was a little hard to find following directions from Google.

Look around for reasonably priced stallss (like set of salt and pepper should not be above 200 pesos, you'll find some for about 1000 though!). Also there is a knock-off market down the road that is extremely expensive, don't get conned into going in there, it is much smaller. The real one is lining little alleys, not enclosed. But really nice, found some really cute stalls and they all try English and no matter what they sell, they will always offer tequila!

They do hound you a lot but that's because they want to make money. Make sure you get to the interior market for hand crafted items. It would also help them to learn enough English to make English speakers feel more welcome and not like a fish out of water. I worked about actually getting good deals but maybe they're trying to use that language barrier to their advantage. Thankfully, my boyfriend speaks Spanish fluently and was able to handle everything. If it were just me, I would've become frustrated and overwhelmed very quickly and would have left with nothing! That's the only reason I took a star off.

If you are looking for souvenirs at a cheaper price, this is a good place to go. There are multiple vendors where you can find all sort of things. We had lunch at a seafood place, food was okay and was not expensive. There is another area, similar to a food court where these local restaurants have for a good price all kinds of local food.

Total cultural experience. We took the bus there which really made it fun. The bus driver dropped us off in front to a building that said market 28, but someone on the bus told us that it wasn't the real market. So keep walking down the road and after like 3 or 4 blocks, on your left hand side, you'll find a white wall with and arch way that says market 28, that's where you want to go. If you're looking to shop and love to haggle, this place is for you.

Great shopping, be prepared to haggle a lot, but be firm. The people are a little pushy. There are some amazing items, though! And they will make deals if you haggle. Will return!

Lots and lots of shops. Be prepared to be hassled the whole time though. Prices are high so be prepared to negotiate hard with these shops. There are some shops that are unique but they are few and far between. We avoid it as much as possible and I wouldn't recommend it for the most part.

Make sure you don't just stop where the bus drops you it is market 28 plaza not the market proper.the market is about 4 minutes walk down the road and is a proper set of stalls.

This is a hard sell relentless tourist place. Be prepared for constant pressure. The locals shop at 23.

It's a very traditional Mexican Market. The people here do not push you to buy as much as street vendors but do ask you if you want their products. Careful though there are cartel drug pushers present here who try to push drugs and prostitutes on foreigners.

They have every souvenir you could have ever imagined existed. Need an authentic Mayan carved wood warrior mask with the Washington redskins logo? They have it. Quite crowded but fun.

We caught the city bus there from Quintana Roo. The ride took about 15 minutes. We checked the exchange rate before we went there so we could get the best deals. It's a fun place to shop and spend a leisurely day walking around. It's a pretty big place. I recommending wearing comfortable shoes. Most vendors sell the same products and compete for your dollar, so you can haggle for the best deals. The food there is good. We tried the homemade popsicles, they were great. We had lunch at one of the outdoor restaurants. Good menu selections, and the food is good and affordable. The servers are very attentive, kind, and friendly.

It's like a flea market, and I think everyone should at least go by and experience it. However, be prepared for every shop to call out to you. Also, items are usually much higher listed than what they will sell them for. Test out your bargaining skills; it's fun. However, don't trust the salesmen. They'll tell you anything.

Local market in Cancun. A lot of souvenirs and authentic Mexican made goods. There are multiple places to eat, but be wary, if you are a foreign tourist they will hunt you down. Every shop owner will hoot and holler at you to come see what they have Gets pretty old after a while especially if you are not accustomed to that. If you see something you like, you can most likely get it for half of what they ask, if not walk away and try another shop, they all have similar items and want to make a sell. It's worth checking out for an hour or two, any more and you'll lose your mind For that 3 stars.

Huge selection of things to buy. Down to earth place. Didnt like the one guy offering to sell me drugs.

Wonderful place to eat buy and hang out. I wouldn't miss it. It is easy walk to here from the bus stop and don't be fooled. You will be let off a few blocks shy of the actual real Mercado 28. It is a short walk from the market back to the bus stop at Walmart. Great food and great places to shop. Good prices.

It's a nice place to take pictures. Souvenirs are very expensive. I prefer Mercado 23. Much better and reasonable price. Salespeople are very forceful, they follow you around and is so annoying. Like I said it's best to go to Mercado 23.

Lots of great souvenirs at better prices than around the hotels. Every vendor will talk to you as you walk by. Some can be pushy, but it is just part of the atmosphere. Just be polite and tell them you are not interested, just looking, etc. Remember to haggle and then haggle some more. Most of the stores sell the same thingso take time to shop around. The restaurants are very good and cheaper than around the hotels.

I liked all the different shops and selection of restaurants however we did not get to chose our restaurant because we got the hard sell the minute we stopped to look at the menu with our adult kids. We wanted the chance to look around but trust me do not point at anything here because you will get the "come into my shop" "I have something special for you"etc. I did learn that the whole place was like this and most places in Cancun were. After 9 days it got very bothersome. HOWEVER, we did have a good lunch and our kids enjoyed themselves, being deaf the owner was very attentive and trying to communicate with them, that was nice. They do sneak in surprise drinks and then expect you to pay for them so beware.
