A well-regarded chorizo verde stall on the upper food level of Mercado 16 de Septiembre, Toluca's largest traditional market.
On the upper floor of Mercado 16 de Septiembre, in the market's dedicated food hall, the Don Flor stall is one of the locations most frequently pointed to by Toluca locals for high-quality chorizo verde. The stall grills the sausage to order and serves it in tacos, folded into salsa verde, or packed into a torta, alongside the market's usual accompaniments of onion, cilantro and a choice of salsas. Seating is shared counter and stool space typical of a market food hall, with the smell of grilling chorizo and the surrounding butcher stalls part of the experience. Because it sits inside Mercado 16 de Septiembre, a visit here pairs naturally with browsing the market's other embutidos vendors and produce stalls on the ground floor.
