Known foralternativepunkvintagemusic

El Chopo is a legendary Saturday street market that has operated since 1980, serving as the beating heart of Mexico City's alternative, punk, metal, goth, and counterculture communities. You will find vinyl records, vintage clothing, band patches, zines, tattoo artists, and an extraordinary cross-section of subcultural tribes. It is not a food market — it is a cultural institution and one of the most genuinely unique markets in Latin America.
