If you’re looking for an authentic shopping and eating experience in Baja, you don’t have to head too far south of the border to find where the locals go. Mercado Hidalgo in Tijuana is a sensory overload in the best kind of way. The market is teeming with stands of fresh produce that you can’t find in the U.S., dulcerias, men with machetes opening fresh coconuts to drink, and food carts selling chicharrón and tacos. ¡Disfrútate!
