点评:Mercado Ramírez found us in the most authentic way—by following locals, not a list. After visiting the mercado a couple of times (it was already saved as a must-do from TripAdvisor), my husband was set on one thing: real, authentic gorditas. A quick conversation with a museum guard turned into directions, and suddenly we were exactly where we were meant to be.
This is the kind of market that still feels deeply local—unpolished, honest, alive. The aroma of masa on the comal, the rhythm of vendors calling out their offerings, the quiet pride in recipes that haven’t changed in generations. The gorditas alone were worth the detour: simple, soulful, and unmistakably authentic.
The following day, during a cooking lesson with Savor at Casa de Sierra Nevada, A Belmond Hotel, our chef brought us back to the mercado to shop for ingredients for an authentic mole. That experience transformed the place entirely. We walked the stalls with intention—selecting chiles, spices, seeds, and discovering edible flowers I had never seen before. It was a true immersion into Mexican culinary culture, ingredient by ingredient.
Beyond food, I was captivated by the artisan boots and handmade shoes—beautiful craftsmanship that tells stories of tradition, patience, and skill. It reminded me why I’ve always loved the farmers’ market concept: it’s not just about shopping, it’s about connection—to people, culture, and place.
Mercado Ramírez isn’t curated for tourists—and that’s exactly its magic. It’s where San Miguel eats, shops, and lives. If you’re looking for authenticity, flavor, and a glimpse into everyday Mexico, this mercado delivers beautifully. Not to mention their holistic herbs, medicines
翻译:拉米雷斯市场以一种最地道的方式找到了我们——跟随当地人的指引,而不是参考任何旅行清单。在几次造访市场之后(它早已被我在TripAdvisor上标记为必去之地),我的丈夫心中只有一个念头:一定要吃到正宗的墨西哥玉米饼(gorditas)。与一位博物馆保安的简短交谈,让他指路,我们突然就找到了目的地。
这是一个至今仍保留着浓郁地方特色的市场——未经雕琢,真诚质朴,充满活力。铁板上玉米粉的香气,摊贩们有节奏地吆喝着商品,以及他们对世代相传的食谱所怀有的自豪感。光是这些墨西哥玉米饼就值得我们绕道而来:简单、美味、地道,无可挑剔。
第二天,在贝尔蒙德酒店集团旗下的卡萨德塞拉内华达酒店(Casa de Sierra Nevada, A Belmond Hotel)参加Savor烹饪课程时,我们的主厨带我们回到市场,购买制作正宗莫雷酱的食材。那次经历彻底改变了我们对这里的印象。我们带着目的漫步在摊位间——挑选辣椒、香料、种子,还发现了一些我从未见过的食用花卉。这真是一次深入墨西哥美食文化的体验,食材的挑选也让我着迷。
除了美食,我还被那些手工靴和鞋履深深吸引——精美的工艺诉说着传统、耐心和技艺的故事。这让我再次想起我为什么一直热爱农贸市场:它不仅仅是购物,更是一种连接——连接人、文化和土地。
拉米雷斯市场并非为游客而设——而这正是它的魅力所在。这里是圣米格尔人吃饭、购物和生活的地方。如果你正在寻找地道的墨西哥风情、地道的墨西哥风味,那么这个市场绝对不会让你失望。更不用说这里还有各种草药和药材了。
