Great food at amazing prices. Letty's is open a little later than the other places attached to the market but their food is outstanding. Really good flavor and they have some dishes we did not find elsewhere on the island. Would highly recommend it. We fed five people for $30 and that was WITH SEAFOOD.

Shrimp Ceviche
Update, Dec 2022:
Came back after a year and found prices haven't changed despite the global inflation - except for the price of octopi. That's gone up to 250 pesos for the ceviche. So I opted for the fish ceviche this time.
5 pesos added for take out to every dish.
I got:
- Fish ceviche (5/5), 125 pesos - love that they include a habanero pepper. Ask for it to be chopped up if you like it spicy (picante), and ask for additional like.
- Huevos con chaya (3.5/5)
- Guacamole (5/5)
- Tikin Xic, also marked Filete Isleño elsewhere (4.5/5) - this time not AS good as the last time, but still very yummy, especially with the hot sauce
390 pesos for all this. So good.
Closed Wednesdays. Otherwise open 8am-4pm.
Nov 2021:
I got the mixed ceviche (not on the menu: 185 pesos) for take out twice while I stayed six days on the island. Stomach space is prime real estate especially while on vacation, so that tells you something.
The medley of octopus and fish (I asked to exclude boiled shrimp) comes together with the significantly-more amount of black pepper they add - it really makes a difference, and in a good way.
I also got the snapper Tikin Xic (pronounced sheek, like chic), which was scary-looking but delicious. I say scary because it has a bright red adobo-esque marinade - but taste it, and you'll get it again, all for the grand price of 125 pesos (I got it as takeout so the 5 pesos get added on).
The reviews docking points from egg dishes made me hesitate, but I'm glad I tried it! Super sweet staff, too :) Open daily 8am-4pm.
Wonderful food and inexpensive prices. Family of 5 paid less than $40 usd for 5 dishes and 1 bottle of water. We had chilaquiles (no meat or egg), pancakes with fried egg & fruit, hamburger with fries, and 2 vegetarian burritos with cheese. Best burritos we've had so far. So many options on the menu. This is one of a few places in this Mercado food spot. Add it to your list of places to try!

The breakfast burrito was awesome and the place is family-run, lowkey, and affordable.

Inexpensive, small portions for about $70 MXN each. We ordered 2x Eggs & Bacon (1 slice per order), 1 Mexican Omelette, 1 Scrambled Eggs & Sausage (sliced hot dogs), fried plantains, OJ, and water.
Staff (4 people) was friendly however the service was slow. We were one of 2 tables seated but still took 45mins to get our food. The food was somewhat bland but the salsa had a nice kick
Total came to $360 MXN
