Mexico - Mexico City
Achiote Cochinita Pibil Roma
By @raquelpastel83
You don´t have to go to Yucatan to have a bite of Mayan cuisine, in this place you can find cochinita pibil tacos. If it´s your first time reading that name, let me tell you that these tacos are marinated with a paste made with a citric called lima, annato seeds, bay leaf, and black pepper. The pork is cooked, covered with a banana leaf, and shredded. You have five options of salsa with habanero chilli and pickled onions to give an extra acidity.
Address: Guanajuato 53, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, México
