The ground floor has stalls brimming with fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-quality meats, including Batangas beef. Adjacent sections house vendors selling local snacks, coffee beans, and souvenirs such as t-shirts, key chains, and purses that are labeled Tagaytay City.

Found on the second floor of the Mahogany Meat Market is the famed bulalo strip where a stretch of food stalls similar to karinderyas (eateries) or small eateries serve bowls after bowls of the comforting beef dish. One interesting thing to note about the strip is the fact that all stalls serve affordable bulalo! And with how big the serving size is, two or more people can actually share on one heaping bowl.
