Fodor's Review:

Portales de los Mercaderes (Merchants Arcade) has attracted merchants since 1524. It's lined with jewelry shops selling gold (often by the gram) and authentic Taxco silver at prices lower than those in Taxco, where the overhead is higher. In the middle of the Portales de los Mercaderes is Tardán (Plaza de la Constitución 7. 55/5512-2459), an unusual shop specializing in fashionable men's hats of every shape and style.
