FRUIT & VEGGIES
Fruit & Veggies
Located throughout the Island are several fruit and vegetable stands! They sell fresh produce every day. Explore new, local fruits that you haven’t tried yet!
JUICES
Juice Up!
There’s nothing like a fresh squeezed juice drink! Around the Island are juice shops. Orange, pineapple, jamaica water, or mango are just some of the delicious flavors you can try. Some of the juice shops even sell ice cream!
Tortillerias
When In Mexico… Fresh Tortillas!
If you want to eat like a local, you need to buy freshly pressed tortillas! No, not from a store, from a tortilla shop (tortilleria)! Every morning while everyone is still sleeping, employees begin to produce fresh tortillas in time for breakfast. They do this all day until just before dinner time. Hot fresh tortillas are the only way to eat here! Downtown at the market, near Tonicho’s, around the corner from the tennis courts, and the Cañotal Market.
QUICK STOP
Convenience
Throughout the island there are many convenience stores. You can find snacks, basic cooking items, water, soft drinks, cleaning products, and other items. (You can also get fresh tortillas from the tortillerias at some of these stores!) Some are privately owned, others are chain stores called SIX, OXXO, and 7-Eleven.
PHARMACY
Pharmacy’s
All over the island are pharmacies. If you don’t feel well, are thirsty, need baby items, or need to fill a prescription, pharmacies are the place to go! There are pharmacies all throughout downtown, by Chedraui, in La Gloria, and even in Punta Sur.
