Plaza Taxco

Beautiful jewelry, and decently priced.
They had a lot of banners that screamed «100% made in Mexico», and I don’t doubt them. Glassware, jewelry, trinkets, more jewelry, pottery, handcrafts, all very beautiful. I picked up a pair of earrings expecting to see a price tag of $ 30 or $ 45 — and they were $ 9! I did not set them back down!
As mentioned by Perla, a little bit nicer product that some of the other mercado booths, and surprisingly a lot was marked as 10% — 30% off (it wasn’t when I went in the first time about a year ago). Worth stopping in for a gift or for yourself, and very friendly staff!

I think this place if fantastic for finding great jewelry and gifts. When I lived in San Antonio this was my go-​to place for finding gifts for my friends.
I am mexican, so I always want to give friends stuff that they will like and that will remind them of where I come from, and this is seriously the only place in San Antonio where you can find high quality hand-​made Mexican handcrafts, none of that crappy stuff you find everywhere else in the «mercado.» They are part of Fonart which is the government fund for encouraging handcraft making (i think) but the point is that the proceeds go to help artisans in Mexico who are struggling to make a living by selling their work.
Anyways, the handcrafts might be a bit expensive compared to other stores in the market but like I said, they are worth it, very high quality and the proceeds go to a good place. On the other hand they also sell jewelry which I find it to be very reasonably priced. You can get a pair of sterling silver studs for less than 8 bucks! and talk about a good place to find cool earrings, rings and necklaces for awesome prices!
This place is definately awesome for shopping… too bad they don’t have an online store! I miss it!
