About this audio guide
This guide to Coyoacan Market in Mexico City follows a tostada rivalry that began in 1956, when two competing counters opened almost side by side inside the market. You'll meet Carlos Felix, who has manned one of them since 1990, and hear about the sign his stand hung after decades of competition, plus the free-sample tactics of the rivals across the aisle. Listen for the story behind the market's best-known feud as you browse the tostada counters yourself.
