Those are more like booths than carts. They only set up and take down their merchandise every day. In some cases, the booths have shutters, so when they are open, the merchandise is displayed and when they are closed they lock the shutters. Of course, that's just for non-food items. The produce is replaced every day.
Because of they order in which I took the photos, it may appear that the meat is outside, in the street. Even though much of it IS just hanging out in the open, all of the meat photos were INSIDE a building (it's just to the left of the green building you see in the last photo. Even despite the conditions that may appear scary to Americans, this meat is usually better (as well as cheaper) than what the supermarkets sell. For convenience, I do buy SOME meat at the supermarkets, but I DO buy meat from these places, as well - especially what I use for sausage (they'll grind it the way I want it) and for corned beef (since the supermarkets don't usually have brisket).
That last photo, BTW, is a group of women, with baskets in front of them. Those baskets are lined with cloth (like towels or sheets), as you would for a basket of dinner rolls, and inside the cloth are the VERY, VERY, VERY fresh tortillas they made that morning. That is where I buy tortillas (not the commercially made things from the supermarkets). In U.S. terms, they are five cents apiece.
Also, for a point of reference,that building in the last photo is on a corner (to the right of the photo) and, if you turn left at that corner, that is where that last taxi is turning at the end of the video in my other link.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
