Thank you for sharing!
I’m a lover of Yucatecan food, and also recommend
Poc chuc (
poke chuke) Pork in citrus marinade, cooked over a grill, often served with a side of rice, pickled onion, refried beans, and avocado.
Pescado Tikin xic (
TEEkeen sheek): Whole fish marinated with achiote (annatto) paste and sour oranges wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked in an earth oven beneath a wood fire.
Panuchos, salbutes, papadzules, others.
A good introduction to Yucatec food, often based on Maya cuisine (but sometimes with Spanish influence) is FOOD Fun & Travel’s
Yucatan Food & Mayan Food Mega Guide: 50+ Unmissable dishes link.
Not so easy to find in Cancún, but I’ve added restaurants (and the market) that serve Yucatec specialties
here.
The main market might be worth a visit, as there will generally be a group of “puestos”, if not a full cooking and dining area, offering fresh local foods at very reasonable prices.
