Market Square is a three-block outdoor plaza lined with shops, and restaurants in downtown San Antonio, Texas. Market Square is the largest Mexican market in the United States. The El Mercado section has 32 specialty shops and the Farmer's Market Plaza section has 80. Mi Tierra Cafe Y Panaderia and La Margarita Mexican Restaurant & Oyster Bar are the major eateries, but snack and specialty foods are available at other shops. Market Square is the site of Cinco de Mayo in central San Antonio and many other fiestas throughout the year.The El Mercado building was built as a Works Progress Administration project during 1938-1939 after the existing municipal market house was torn down.
