Mercado Miami
Finding it
Mercado Miami is in Concourse F, 2nd Level Departures in Central Terminal at Miami International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.
Central Terminal has 32 places to eat and 31 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 4am.
Hours against the security queue
Mercado Miami opens at 7am and closes at 5pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical MIA checkpoint queue at 8 minutes around 7am.
Across the week, MIA security runs longest around 5pm at a median of 16 minutes, and lightest around 11pm at 2 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's MIA wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Mercado Miami sits in Concourse F with just a Hudson News for a neighbor and no wider shop court crowding the space around it. It opens at 7:00am and runs to 9:00pm, an hour later at open than the Concourse G InMotion across the Central Terminal, though the two close at the same 9:00pm hour. MIA has just this one Mercado Miami, so Concourse F is the only place in the terminal system where the name appears rather than one outlet among a repeated chain.
Other options in Central Terminal
All landside, so you can reach any of these before security.
