Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Nestled in Tixkokob in a converted 18th-century mansion, Pueblo Pibil is a charming spot spotlighting authentic Yucatecán dishes and utilizing the al Pib technique of cooking in an underground hearth-style pit. The meat, buried for more than 15 hours on fire with chukum and catzín wood, plus oak leaves and jabín, is the reason you're here. Chef Silvio Campos, widely considered the "mastro of the pibil," is perhaps best known for his cochinita pibil, or slow-roasted pork. It's marinated in citrus, then braised and wrapped in banana leaves before being roasted over the fire for an impossibly tender and flavorful result. Cheesecake with pumpkin seed and topped with tomato marmalade rounds out the meal.
