What It’s Really Like at Mérida’s Biggest Market

🫔 Exploring Mérida’s Best Market: Local Tacos, Tortas, and Street Food at Mercado Lucas de Gálvez 🇲🇽
In this episode, I dive into one of Mérida, Mexico’s most vibrant and iconic food markets — Mercado Lucas de Gálvez — guided by a local who knows all the best spots.

We explore the incredible variety of Yucatecan street food, from juicy tacos al pastor and fresh tortas, to unique local ingredients like recado, Yucatán lima, and more. I even discover a family-run taquería started by a Mexican luchador and try a sweet, marshmallow-like treat I never saw coming.

🌶️ Whether it’s your first time in Mexico or you’re a seasoned foodie traveler, this market is full of authentic flavors, bold colors, and unforgettable stories.
