Amazing Central de Abastos Market Food tour! - From beginning to end we were the only reservation after another couple had canceled so it was our own private tour by our extremely knowledgeable Luis. We ate and drank various food & drink each of which represented different cultures and customs. You need to pace yourself though as there is a lot of wonderful and very tasty food to try. Sometimes we shared to ease the volume but oh so good! Plus the market offers sights & smells that overwhelm the senses in a very good way! There is also the opportunity to shop and purchase local made wares, pan(bread) & delicious Oaxaca cheese! We ended with delicious homemade ice cream. Specifically made by hand in metal tins, surrounded by ice & salt. This food tour is worthy of your time!
