Cochinita Doña Chuy

Pit-roasted pork on Sunday mornings only.

Pork marinated overnight in achiote and sour orange, wrapped in banana leaves and cooked in an underground pib. It arrives at the market stall at dawn and is gone by lunch.

Tortillas are handmade to order. The xnipec is habanero-hot, so apply thoughtfully.
