What to Do in Mérida, Mexico in the Yucatán

"Arriving early, I jumped into the local cuisine at Taquería La Lupita in the Mercado de Santiago, one of the city’s best purveyors of cochinita pibil; Yucatecos like hearty breakfasts and things start to sell out by 1:00 PM. I also loved the lechon tortas topped with chicharrones that are crunchier than a potato chip, and I sampled the agua de chaya, the region's ubiquitous green juice made with a wild, spinach-like green." - Scarlett Lindeman Scarlett Lindeman Scarlett Lindeman is a chef, writer, and researcher based in Mexico City, Her work covers Mexican cuisine, foodways, and culture.
