Cuisine & Restaurants

The flavor of Yucatán’s cuisine and its enormous variety of dishes have made it famous. Although it has several main dishes based on pork (such as beans with pork or poc chuc) it also has poultry dishes (such as turkey with black stuffing) while deer farms have made it possible to sample traditional venison dishes once again. There are also intriguing dishes such as lime soup, exotic drinks such as Xtbntún, rum with the nectar of a flower of the same name and others such as rice milk, drunk throughout the country. In addition to satisfying the taste buds, Yucatán’s traditional food charms the ear with its fanciful Mayan names: papadzules, salbutes, and the pibil.
