Had a great Poc Chuc, and got a good tip from an older local gent about where to get my Panama hat (bought expensively a few years earier in Playa del Carmen) cleaned and blocked in the mercado municipal.

We think Doña Tere is one of the ladies in the kitchen, and we know that their mother, Doña Ophelia, occasionally comes by to help as well. The food here just keeps getting better. We take everyone we know here and we've never had a bad meal. Some things are better than others, but all are home-cooked with loving care. The place is very popular now and if you get there after 2 pm, chances are they will have run out of food.

The comments are hilarious! Can you imagine this being the first introduction a potential expat has to the gringo community in Yucatan? LOL Well - this is it, folks. Pretty much how we/they are! Must be the heat! I don’t know how in the world I ever missed this article! The comments are hilarious!

Today I didn't feel like cooking so I went and got food para llevar. The bag was so heavy for 140 pesos I could barely make it home. All 5 of us ate and we had leftovers! Today's meal was pechuga empanizada, (breaded chicken breast) and carne res something or other. I could only figure out it was beef. But it turned out to be delicious chunks of beef and I think squash in a yummy sauce. What a value and convenience and best of all the people are so nice. I spilled a little tamarindo on my skirt and an older man sitting near me handed me a napkin! Love the one on the corner by our house (47 & 66).

In the book FOODS OF THE MAYA in the forward by Jeffrey Pilcher the opening line

“The ancient civilization of the Maya has intrigued outsiders since John Stephens first ventured through the tropical forests of the Yucatan in the 1840″

EXCUSE US. We have been intriguing outsiders since before Columbus was too afraid to land his canoe at Tulum. But thanks for bringing those pigs, dude.

Pre Cristobal we had some interesting outsiders pass through. You don’t really think those elongated skulls are from the sweeping mayans tying stones on their chaanpal pol.
