This bustling three-story marketplace of Mexican food and wares is more endearingly known by the diminutive El Mercadito. Find all sorts of uncommon equipment and apparel, specialized cookware and toothsome sundries at one of the many stalls. Painted mariachis along the top façade are the first hint of the main attraction inside. The third floor houses two restaurants, each with mariachi bands which duke it out at raging full tilt.
