  2. Cancun

    30 min

    Morning Tour:

    Tacos de canasta. Steamed since dawn, filled since forever. Try the chicharron prensado. Best seller in all of Mexico. Now you know why.

    Evening Tour:

    The salbute. Puffed, crispy, topped with cochinita pibil. Add habanero if you dare. This is Yucatan on a tortilla.

  3. Cancun

    30 min

    Cochinita pibil or lechon. Slow-cooked overnight in achiote and bitter orange. Wrapped in a warm tortilla. Add pickled onions. Take a moment. This is that good.

    Morning Tour:

    The pescadilla. Hard shell, fresh fish, Cancun style. Crispy outside, fresh inside. The sea on a tortilla.

  6. Cancun

    30 min

    Maya chelada. Lime or sour orange, ice, and that post-walk thirst. Light, local, perfect. Salud.
