This report covers Puerto Morelos Mexico Best Restaurants and Markets including the best places to eat, shop, and live as you watch our daily life.
The key to retiring cheap overseas is living like a local. In general, when you travel the world, you will get better prices if you stay out of the tourist areas and shop with the locals. If you are surrounded by locals instead of tourists, you are more likely to be paying local market prices.
Hidden in this concept is a joyful life. You see, if you try to recreate your old life in a new country, you are missing one of the greatest joys of exploring the world. Whereas, if you live in Rome with the Romans, you’ll learn not just about the Romans, but you will learn about yourself.
Nothing teaches you about a new culture more quickly than their foods. So I will cover our favorite restaurants first and then the best markets.

Vagabond Buddha’s Kitchen: To obtain substantial savings on your food bill, you may find that cooking at home helps you achieve substantial savings. It is certainly easier to control quality in your own kitchen. If you eat in local restaurants mostly, the savings from cooking at home may not be as substantial. Here are the markets where we found the best selection and prices.

Fruits, Vegetables, Juices Market (Locals Area): This market has fresh fruits and vegetables and juices sold by Mexicans to Mexicans.
Super Aki (Locals Area) Another ex-pat market.
Chedraui Market (Locals Area): This is what I often call an ex-pat grocery store. It is actually a Mexican grocery chain but it is geared more towards middle and upper-middle-class Mexicans and foreigners with more discretionary income. You will often find cheaper prices in neighborhood markets but the foreign foods selection is better here.
Chedraui Market (Tourist Area): Another expat grocery store.
