Cajeta — the slow-cooked goat milk caramel that is a signature product of Guanajuato state — is best purchased at dedicated sweet shops like Dulce Catrina rather than tourist-facing souvenir stores, where quality varies and prices are inflated. Local sweet shops sell it fresh in jars at a fraction of the touristed-area cost.

The street food closest to the Jardín Principal is convenient but caters partly to tourists and prices accordingly. Walk 10 to 15 minutes into residential neighborhoods like Colonia San Antonio or Guadiana and you'll find the same quality tacos and guisados at prices locals actually pay — often 20 to 30 percent less.

Beyond the Saturday organic market, Wednesday brings additional artisan food producers and local farmers to nearby venues in San Miguel. These mid-week markets are quieter, less tourist-facing, and often feature producers who sell out quickly at Saturday's larger market — worth adding to your weekly routine once you're settled.
