In Mexico, this is the #1 way to ask the price in a tianguis or market.
Originally, it meant: How much per kilo / per unit?
But it's been extended to mean:
👉 How much is this / are these? (in a market/street market)
So yeah: ¿A cómo + item? = the ultimate tianguis survival chunk. 🌽🧸👟
🌪️ When to whip it out
Whenever you’re shopping at a tianguis or market in Mexico:
¿A cómo las playeras?
How much are the t-shirts?
¿A cómo el aguacate?
How much are the avocados?
¿A cómo los tenis?
How much are the sneakers?
¿A cómo los tacos?
How much are the tacos?
