Dishes to try in Cancun

After a nice walk along the warm streets of Cancun you will probably want to taste some local delicacies. Here are some dishes to try in Cancun!
 

1- Habanero

This chili pepper is one of the most unique and unmistakable ingredients of traditional Yucateca cuisine. If you want to make it yourself, the best place to buy fresh habanero chili peppers is the "mercado" and it is also incredibly convenient. From there, you can rinse them in fresh water, grind them in a mortar, add lemon juice, salt and let them rest in the container for a few minutes before trying your authentic and delicious chili sauce!

2- Marquesitas

3- Tacos De Cochinita Pibil

Cochinita pibil is a traditional Mexican slow cooked pork dish. The pork has a surprising taste thanks to its preparation, which involves marinating the meat in highly acidic citrus juice, seasoned with annatto seeds, and roasting the meat wrapped in a banana leaf.
 

4- Pozol

This thirst quenching drink is a thick and refreshing Tabasco drink, made with cocoa and corn paste. You can also buy the dough at the market and prepare it at home by mixing the dough and simply adding water and ice.
