It's available literally everywhere, from Comercial Mexicana to the tourist shops on Calle 5 de Mayo.

The best place I know is inside the Mercado Municipal. There is a coffee merchant that has pure vanilla as well as whole beans. They are near or in the fruit section and it is a good size space.

Cafe Caracol also sell pure vanilla. Get them both at the same time-one stop shop
Second Cafe Caracol - next to Lupita's shop.

Old thread, but new question:
A friend has asked us to pick up some vanilla. Not being a cook, I figured she wants some vanilla extract - the dark stuff. I bought a 250 ml bottle of Orlando "Aged Premium Vanilla." The sales lady said it came in clara, media clara or oscura. I paid 80 pesos for the oscura.
(Now I find my friend wants a liter!)
Reading the list of ingredients, it sure doesn't sound very "pure":
--purified water
--vanilla extract
--cane alcohol
--vanillin
--propylene glycol
--natural caramel colour
Does this sound like the vanilla we all know and love?
(And now that I think of it, $5.50 Canadian for a 250 ml/8.5 oz bottle doesn't sound all that cheap to me. What's it cost back home?)
IF you can find it, you really want some that doesn't have propylene glycol in it.

Ya, that's antifreeze, isn't it?
Yup

This time of year we need a little anti freeze in the northern climes. I guess thats why I'm down here.
