Food-focused destinations include the grilled meat aisles of Mercado 20 de Noviembre and the organic stalls at La Cosecha and Pochote Xochimilco. For a broader view of regional trade, the sprawling Central de Abastos serves as the city's primary wholesale hub for everything from pottery to produce.
