Everything Else
This market has everything vintage and they serve 40 oz "micheladas" that you can drink while you shop. Just be aware that it's a busy place and many people get pickpocketed here. This is a local Sunday hangout not a touristy spot, so go with people who speak Spanish and know the city well.
