Food and Menus

Mexican gastronomy is one of the tastiest and most varied in the world. Tortas (flour tortilla wraps) form the basis of its cuisine, which features grilled meats with spicy sauces, salads, legumes and a wide variety of delicious fruits. Octopus, calamari and shrimp, marinated in lemon, grilled, fried in bread-crumbs or served in sauce, as well as flavorful freshly-caught lobsters in the coastal regions, are other mouth-watering examples of the country's gastronomy. Highlights of Mayan Riviera gastronomy include pork-based dishes such as "Cochinita Pibil" (baked marinated pork) and "Poc-chuc" (mixed grill), steamed tamales, "Tikin-xic" (fish marinated in anchiote and sour orange) and a wide variety of succulent shellfish. These and other more international specialties can be found in the restaurants of the Mayan Riviera and on Fifth Avenue of Playa del Carmen.
