Per prior partially-stated post below, might the original poster be willing
to share the name of the restaurant found in Cancun serving 'cochinita
pibil?' Or maybe that's standard fare? My first visit to Cancun is next
month, would appreciate any direction. Thanks!

When I was on Cozumel island, our group was looking around for a decent
Mexican resturant that served authentic regional specialties. The other
tourists were thinking that any Mexican restaurant was going to be just
another taco joint, and I was trying to tell them that there was more
to Mexican cooking than just tacos.

So the other tourists asked the pimply-faced young Mexican tour guide
what the heck Mexicans ate. And the guide said, "Oh, we eat a lot of
tacos."

Naturally, he ate a lot of tacos. He was an impoverished Mexican,
struggling to make a living off the generosity of the tourists. He was
all, "Si, si, señor."

And his hand was always ready for the tip, so he told tourists what
they wanted to hear.

"Oh, si, señores y señoras. This way to the tacos, por favor...."

The restaurant we finally settled on did have regional specialties. I
enjoyed my cochinita pibil, while the rest of the tourists chewed on
sad-looking tacos...
