Lonely Planet review

Started in 1953 by boxer Raúl Salazar from Mérida, this establishment over a billiard hall prepares Yucatecan fare just as it's done in Don Raúl's hometown. The poc chuc (grilled pork marinated in sour orange juice), papadzules, (tacos stuffed with chopped hard-boiled egg and laced with pumpkin seed sauce) and cochinita pibil (pork, marinated in chilies, wrapped in banana leaves, and pit-cooked or baked) are of a high standard.

The tables are set with the obligatory marinated red onions and four-alarm habanero (a fiery chili) salsa. Yucatecan troubadours perform on the central stage at lunchtime.
