At the November 20 market, food is the protagonist.

It has a large dining area where you will find the most representative dishes of the gastronomy of this state: from the traditional tlayudas accompanied by beef jerky, cecina or chorizo, with the unique touch of huajes or grasshoppers, to memelas or picaditas, entomatadas and enfrijoladas; all of them are enjoyed with the meat of your choice.

Another of the most characteristic points of this market is the "smoke corridor" or meat corridor; here you can get the meat you want and ask that it be prepared to your liking.
