They are indeed food of gods and goddesses, thankfully us humans can enjoy them too lol

The best tacos I have eaten was at this street place in Tulum, they serve the best cochinita pibil (Yucatán-Style Barbecued Pork) the pork is cook in banana leaves in a hole in the ground like the Mayans used to make them. The place is so popular that by 1 pm they are completely out of everything so one must come early to get any but they were so worth it.
