About this spot
MaĆz MaĆz in Puerto Morelos serves rustic Oaxacan fare that feels worlds away from the typical Cancun resort scene, focusing on slow-roasted meats and handmade tortillas. The kitchen specializes in cochinita pibil cooked underground in banana leaves, delivering smoky flavors that pair perfectly with fresh pineapple salsa.
š” Tips before you go
- Order a side of nopales or roasted plantains to balance the richness of the pork dishes.
- Ask for extra lime wedges at the table to brighten up the heavy mole sauces before serving.
- Arrive early in the afternoon as this neighborhood spot often fills up with locals by late morning.
