Traditionally, in the Yucatan you eat frijol con puerco (pork and beans in English speaking countries and feijoada en Brasil) on Mondays and if you are in the town of Tixcocob, a half hour from Merida, you can enjoy this classic dish prepared in the pib, or underground pit oven.
Pueblo Pibil is a beautiful restaurant, with attentive and courteous service and the food is really outstanding.
Highly recommended!
Start with an appetizer of chicharrones while waiting for your pork 🙂
Also, more pork in the form of this achiote-soaked grilled rib appetizer
