I am Mexican and live in Mexico, but lived a part of my life in the U.S. And your videos help me learn about my country. Thanks!

Miss México City... have not been there in 20 years. Brought a lot of wonderful memories.

I haven't been to Mexico in decades. This was a wonderful nostalgic trip through the type of market I used to shop in regularly over a period of years. Thank you.

All cities & towns in Mexico have a traditional local market selling everything from dried chilies to toilet brushes. It's like Walmart...just more authentic and how life used to be. This one is in Mexico City. Let's check it out!

Paul congratulations, you really show the true mexican reality (at least Mexico City's). Not the false one that show Hollywood movies. Saludos, y como México no hay dos..

Love this video of the market! My husband is Polish and last time I took him to San Cosme market and he loved it! We ate a nice "comida corrida" and then, we buy some tea from the herbal man! jajajaja, and at the end we got a homemade yogurt! he absolutely loved it! I did a good job introducing him to the tradional market! XD

Se aprecia y se agradece de antemano el tiempo que te tomas para observar, buscar y describir cada lugar al cual vas. Es un placer que personas como tú aprecien y quieran a éste país. !Un gran saludo desde Chihuahua!.

i visited my brother in Mexico City the other day and i walked into that market and i was like "this looks very familiar..." and yeah, it was because i saw it in your video lol we went to eat to that coffee shop inside the mercado, they have great echiladas de mole.

Awesome video, i love True Mexico. but that was San Judas Tadeo, not Jesus lol

[wendymcbroome]

Thank you for the video! Will be showing it to my high school Spanish class!

[sandrine]

you make me drool when you show that wonderful food and treats from the mercados. I can tell you that the weather and the food is the best ever in Mexico.

[helliot]

Oh my! You did change your voice, a lot! Not complaining, just shocked that I get this oldie recommended today.

Love the videos. I was born and lived in Mexico City until I was 13.  I will be down there in July.  I noticed most of the videos are on the south part of the city.  How about a video of the Basilica de Guadalupe, Garibaldi, or even downtown.

The second piñata the green ALIEN you ask, is from the movie TOY STORY

Hey! Just discovered your channel
I think it's great that you're making videos about the lifestyle in Mexico. I'm mexican and I'm always very interested in other cultures so this is the kind of videos I'm interested in. I have considered doing a channel about Mexico as well, but I realized that it'd be pretty hard to actually show how life is in here, since I don't really live a very mexican life per se… but anyways, glad I found this!

[PabloMartinez-xmlb]

Nice description of the Mexico City. Congratulations True México!.

[vallejoadame]

Nice introduction to a typical neighborhood market. 'Mi Mercado' markets are located all round the city. If you want to visit one of the best markets in town you should go on a weekend to Centro Historico again and visit Mercado de San Juan, a real jewel.

[andresespinosa]

wow, can´t believe I´m actually the first person to comment in your first Anyway love your videos I know most of the places you show, in fact I live very near to picacho ajusco highway ( when you talked about things mexicans are crazy for ) would be great a video about chapultepec castle or bosque de tlalpan,

[luisandrews]

fruit and veggies are way fresher in these mercados and tianguis cause they cut the middle man, the distribution center and way un expensive too
