El Mercado

At the end of our Missions Tour, we made a brief stop at El Mercado, also known as Market Square. It is an outdoor plaza spanning three blocks lined with specialty shops, restaurants, and produce stands. It is the largest Mexican market in the U.S.

One of the places to check out is Mi Tierra Restaurant & Bakery. We didn’t have time to eat at the restaurant, but we made sure to get some goodies from the bakery!

You can grab a drink at the Marachi Bar.

Be sure to check out El Mercado. The shops are worth browsing and try some of those pastries and empanadas.
