About this spot
Tucked away in the heart of Downtown El Centro, La Cantinita serves up authentic Yucatecan flavors that feel worlds away from the resort strip. You should order the cochinita pibil to soak up its rich achiote marinade and finish with fresh mango salsa to cut the richness.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the house-made tortillas on the side for extra warmth and texture.
- Ask for extra pickled onions to brighten up the slow-roasted pork.
- Save room for the flan, a traditional dessert that pairs perfectly with local coffee.
