Locals used to refer to this market as ‘Tokiolula’ since it carried many imported goods from Asia in the 60s and 70s.
Stalls line the main street from the bus station to the 16th-century church, the Capilla del Santo Cristo.
Tall people will need to duck under the clotheslines that hold up the colorful tarps.
Food
Local cuisine includes barbecued goat (barbacoa de chivo) in a dark red broth. The stew is accompanied by fresh corn tortillas, cabbage, radishes, cilantro and lime. Also of note is the egg bread (pan de yema) and chocolate! A recommended place for chocolate … Chocolate Tradición!

Etymology
The name most likely comes from the Nahuatl phrase tlacolullan, which means “place of abundance.” Its original Zapotec name was Guillbaan, which means “village of the burials.” The appendage “de Matamoros” is to honor Mariano Matamoros of the Mexican War of Independence. – Wikipedia

Flavored Salt Worthy of Your Pantry
Chiles and crushed maguey worms create an incomparable salt, sal de gusano, for elotes, margaritas and more.
Flavored salts, in my view, simply clutter the kitchen counter. If you have good sea salt and high-quality herbs or spices on hand, there’s no trick to creating your own. But there are exceptions, like this new one, new to our pantries, from Oaxaca, Mexico, which combines salt with pequín and arból chiles and dried, crushed maguey worms. Yes, of course, dust the tangy, earthily assertive and fragrant rust-colored spice on the edge of your margarita glass, but also consider it for seasoning corn on the cob, ceviche or grilled shrimp. Christopher Kimball is selling it on his Milk Street website.
Sal de Gusano, $18.95 for 2.3 ounces, store.177milkstreet.com.
