Poc-Chuc Restaurant

This place is amazing. I've only been 4 times so far, and have had a different appetizer and different main each time. So far I've really enjoyed everything - love the light flavors and emphasis on citrus. The favorites so far: poc-chuc is amazing, Cochinita Pibil succulent and tender, both delightful. Have started to bring out-of-town guests. The Maya platter was a good sampling, but i'd probably stick with one of the other mains.

Lovely, locally owned restaurant.We got the platos mayas, the cochinita pibil (amazing, generous portions, not pictured) and the pescado frito featured in picture. I love that the tortillas are handmade, the food is reasonably priced, and they have outdoor eating options. I always walk by this place and on the weekend evenings they have some sort of karaoke and are super busy. Went on a weekday night and had no problem getting a table and quick service.

I'm not an expert in Mesoamerican cuisine but the Platillo Maya was abundant, tasty, and all ingredients seemed fresh enough. Surely a good place for something a bit different than the usual taco place.
