Mercado de la Rotonda
At the north end of Revolucíon, this untouristed market with numerous, orderly eateries has delicious regional food on the cheap. Ask for zarza parrilla, a drink made with its namesake root that’s used in genuine root beer and is known for its qualities as a medicine and an aphrodisiac.
