Mart 130 is highly rated on Urban Spoon. While the place is nice (near a railway track and away from everything else), the food was only mediocore the last time I visited.

There are food stalls selling spanish food, homemade doughnuts and coffee, chinese food and common shops you will usually find in a market. They also sell pet supplies, clothes, souvenirs and a lot of other stuff. In my opinion, better than the Queen Victoria Market.
