Lonchería “El Pocito” (Suc. Centro)

Great restaurant! They serve breakfast from 8am to 12pm and the rest of the time they have a daily menu. The pulled pork was really tasty - I would get it more often for sure. They have some desserts in the fridge next to the counter. We got a banana pudding with tapioca - nice, slightly sweet and calmed down the spiciness of the main course 😄 The prices for main dishes are around 170-200 pesos.

We had several plates for a family style lunch to try a bit of everything. The food was delicious, the breakfast menu looked even better and hope to return one day for their full breakfast. It’s worth the trip for authentic local food!

came here to try the food. to us it was just ok. prices were fair and service was kind. I enjoyed the seating area with fans and little lights. this is a little off the tourist path.. based on the comments I thought it was a just go. in my opinion it's just ok they did have better Mayan food than what we tried up near Ek Balaam

The Mexican food here was amazing. Seemed a bit like a locals restaurant which was great to see. Prices are good too although it is cash only. I would definitely recommend going here if you are looking for authentic Mexican food away from the tourist areas.

Great authentic Mayan cuisine. Price was great and just 20mins for the hotel zone. It was nice to walk around in the local neighborhood without the flashy,touristy sights .

If you are looking for a very local, authentic place this is a must visit. The food is nice, good portion size, loved the green colour cooler we had. They have a local limited options menu after the lunch hours Staff don’t speak English but they do their best to communicate

Lonchería El Pocito in Cancun set the bar high as the first stop on our taco and beer tour, quickly becoming our favorite taco spot. Specializing in local specialties, this hidden gem offered an authentic experience that resonated with the locals. The prices were incredibly reasonable, making it a budget-friendly delight. The atmosphere, though charmingly hole-in-the-wall, exuded a certain kind of magic that added to the overall experience. If you’re in Cancun and seeking genuine, delicious tacos with a local touch, Lonchería El Pocito is a must-visit. It’s the epitome of a hidden culinary treasure.

Lots of local Mayan dishes. Sopa de lima, pollo pibil and the cochinta were the highlights. Lomita and tamales were ok. The queso relleno wasn't great. Cash only and you really have to know some Spanish to order.
