An Intimitate Look At Mayan Ruins

Something called Mexican Food is quite popular in many parts of the western world. More often than not, it is a derivation of a style normally called Tex-Mex. In this article, we will try and prepare you for the types of Mexican Food found in this area of Mexico. We’ll dispel some myths and probably change your idea about what real Mexican food is. Basics and Staples

Tacos…

Tacos al pastor, with a slice of pineapple – a real favorite!Lets get this one out of the way first. The Castillian definition of the word taco includes many meanings, among them wedge, plug, cue and ramrod. No doubt the conquistadors and colonists of New Spain lent this name to the generic food style eaten by the indigenous people of Mexico. The taco most Westerns are used to, that hard U-shaped shell filled with seasoned ground beef, lettuce, yellow cheese, and sour cream, is NOT Mexican and you will not find that here, unless you find a restaurant serving American food. This type of taco is Tex-Mex style. The taco you will be served here is a corn tortilla (they are soft by definition) with some beef, pork, chicken or seafood as filling. You simply give it a slight roll between thumb and index finger and fire it into the mouth. …and what to put in it

As you might imagine there are plenty of combinations, so try different ones. At places serving carnitas, you can find tacos of eyes, cheeks, udders and other parts that you may have never considered eating before. Close your eyes, if you must, and go for it. If you wimp out, just ask for macisa, which is pure pork loin. A popular taco style is the al pastor, which you will see throughout Playa del Carmen and on the photo above. You’ll recognize it by the meat on a vertical rotisserie outside the restaurant. The meat is pork, seasoned with the typical Yucatecan spice achiote, then carved into a tortilla. Onion and fresh cilantro go on top and then the final touch – a piece of pineapple is flipped on to make it complete. Splash some red salsa on it, and you’ll forget about your crack addiction.
