some dishes we offer

Beans with pork

Beans with Pork is an ancestral recipe of Yucatan and Quintana Roo. This dish is full of tradition because families in this region usually get together every Monday to enjoy it. The two basic ingredients of this recipe are typical of the Mexican Southeast. Pork is, par excellence, the main protein of southeastern dishes.

Cochinita Pibil

The Cochinita is marinated in a mixture of sour orange juice that, like the Lima, can only be found in Southeastern Mexico; and a blend of red spices made with ‘axiote’ seeds. This aromatic concentrate is poured on the pork, which is wrapped in banana leaves and cooked in an underground oven called a ‘pib’, which is where ‘Cochinita Pibil’ gets its name.

Sikilp´aak´

Sikilp’aak’ is a typical Mayan appetizer that is widely consumed in this region of the country and can’t be found in other parts of Mexico.

The tomatoes are cooked directly over the coal fire, or as the Mayans call it, the ‘candela’, until they are perfectly roasted and black on the outside. This gives them an exquisite smoky flavor. Then, they are grounded on the ‘molcajete’ together with a few cloves of garlic until a perfect mixture is created. Finally, roasted and grounded pumpkin seeds are added.

Ceviche

Ceviche is one of the most popular dishes on the Caribbean beaches because of the freshness of its ingredients.

The base of Ceviche is a citrus-flavored ‘aguachile’: Lima juice is mixed with a light sauce made with basil, ‘hoja santa’, coriander, mint and coconut water. Small cubes of jicama and finely chopped onions give it a crunchy texture. Finally, a little habanero adds a spicy touch.
