    Bodega de Quesos

    Join the line of cheese-lovers at this corner shop, with its vast choice of national and international cheeses, including requesón from Chiapas, creamy Brie, Camembert, feta, gorgonzola, fresh mozzarella, parmesan and the costly cured Spanish Manchego (at M$436 per kilo).

    Bene Pasta

    Somehow you don’t associate Mexico with homemade pasta, although this company has been going for some 100 years. As you would expect, the pasta is wonder­fully colorful: fusilli coils of red, purple, green and orange. If this sounds too much of an indigestible dazzle, they also sell traditional white, plus jars of homemade sauce.
