Mexican restaurant · Cancún

"El Pocito has been a classic lunch spot in Cancún since 1988. Originally from Valladolid in the neighboring state of Yucatán, self-taught chef Manuela Uch oversees the kitchen, where she prepares dishes with Yucatecan soul, including one of the area’s most famous renditions of cochinita pibil (pork stewed with achiote). Look for chaya, a local shrub that’s deeply integrated into the region’s cuisine; it shows up in everything from the agua frescas to tamales, lending a flavor similar to chard with an herbal edge.
