Caracol's menus are culinary tours along the Mexican coasts, shared by 16 of the country's coastal states. To further spotlight the wide variety of dishes between states, we are introducing a tasting menu series. Each optional tasting menu is featured for a month, showcasing a specific coastal state. Join us for this month's tasting menu based on Yucatán!
History & Background
Yucatán, located on the southern tip of Mexico, is rich in history. Before the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century, the Mayan civilization had once thrived in the Yucatán peninsula. Known for their sophisticated culture, the Mayans made significant advancements in astronomy, mathematics, hieroglyphics, and monumental architecture, including pyramids and temples - these ruins are still found throughout Yucatán today! The cuisine has its unique style and is very different from what most people consider Mexican food. It’s known for its blend of Mayan, Spanish, and Caribbean influences, featuring signature dishes like Cochinita Pibil, Papadzules, Sopa de Lima, Huevos Motuleños, Panuchos, Relleno Negro, Marquesitas, Sikil Pak, and Tikin Xic. It is also the largest producer of the habanero pepper in all of Mexico and the birth state of achiote. Popular fruits include dragon fruit, mamey, papaya, guanábana, guava, pineapple, orange, and coconut. We hope you enjoy this menu and our interpretation of this state’s exotic cuisine!
