Groceries & Food Scene

Organic market with great fresh produce, cheeses and deli.
Mercado Sano, is a pricey organic market and restaurant, juice bar & yoga studio. Bring your own bag! You can find high quality produce ( the spinach & greens are amazing as are the cherry tomatoes) There is a cafe with tempting baked goods and chais and coffees. There is also a new vegetarian restaurant opening up on the top floor. I recommend the cheeses, meats and Vegan products.

La Comer

Big Grocery store. Takes about 15 minutes via taxi or Uber. I often take the bus. They pretty much have everything you might need. They even have pajamas!
The new City Market brings a little bit of Glam rock star gourmet foodie shopping to San Miguel de Allende. It’s fun & delicious & very pricey.

Right across the street from Casa Catarina! This is a small family run business with the nicest people! They have a small selection of produce, breads, snacks, cool drinks, wine, beer, tequila, soap, shampoo, dairy case, and small little items that you might need. Everyone loves it & they are open from 8am to 8pm except on Sundays when they close early and some holidays they are closed.

Sightseeing
