Mercado Jamaica, Mexico City, Flower market in Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City, Mexico.

Mercado Jamaica is a flower market in Mexico City with three large halls covering a city block at Congreso de la Unión and Avenida Morelos. Its 1,150 stands sell cut flowers, arrangements, potted plants, and flowerpots; 40.9% of stalls are reserved for producer trucks. Sunflowers and marigolds are heaped in buckets and mounds.

The market opened on September 23, 1957, built alongside others such as the Mercado de Sonora to modernize the markets of the city's east end; both were the first to offer car parking. The site lies on the old eastern edge of the Aztec island city of Tenochtitlan, where chinampas and docks served canoes heading to the Tlatelolco market. The lakes were drained, and by the 19th century only canals such as the Canal de la Viga carried traffic; these were filled in by the mid-20th century.

The name comes from jamaica, Spanish for hibiscus, one of the flowers sold here. In December the piñata section fills with cardboard and crepe-paper figures, from traditional stars to characters from films and television, for the posadas. Piñatas are now broken at celebrations year round, which keeps the stalls stocked.

The market fills three large halls covering a city block at Congreso de la Unión and Avenida Morelos, in the Venustiano Carranza borough; Metro Jamaica on Line 9 stands directly in front of the building. Weekends bring the heaviest crowds and the fullest stalls. The 1,150 flower stands are grouped by type, with cut flowers, arrangements, potted plants and pots in separate sections.

The market displays 5,000 different types of flowers and plants, blending imported international varieties with native Mexican species in specialized sections. This range allows visitors to source both everyday bouquets and hard-to-find local plant species in a single location.
