Traditional Sweet Dishes
Churros
In Cancun, crispy churros are a popular street snack, rolled in cinnamon sugar and often dunked into thick chocolate or cajeta for a warm, indulgent bite.
Flan
Flan in Cancun is prized for a silky custard texture achieved by baking the custard in a water bath, and flipping it reveals a glossy caramel sauce that transforms each spoonful.
Tres leches cake
Tres leches cake gets its name from being soaked in three milks, which keeps the cake lusciously moist and makes it a favorite at celebrations across Cancun and beyond.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Cochinita pibil
Cochinita pibil is a Yucatecan specialty originally roasted in an underground pit called a pib, the pork is marinated in achiote and bitter orange, giving it a vivid orange color and deeply smoky, tangy flavor.
Tacos
Tacos in Cancun range from fresh fish tacos to al pastor, which shows Lebanese influence by using a vertical spit called a trompo, and they are a staple you can find from beach stands to night markets.
Ceviche
Ceviche in Cancun celebrates the sea with raw fish 'cooked' in lime juice, the acid changes the fish's proteins the same way heat does, and it is best enjoyed immediately for maximum freshness.
Traditional Beverages
Horchata
Mexican horchata served in Cancun is a refreshing, iced drink made from soaked rice, cinnamon, and sweetened milk, its recipe traces back to Spain and North Africa and evolved into a beloved tropical cooler.
Tequila
True tequila must be made from blue agave in designated regions of Mexico, its sweet, vegetal spirit became internationally famous while still being tightly protected by appellation laws.
Mezcal
Mezcal is known for its smoky, earthy profile because the agave hearts are roasted in earthen pits, and in the Yucatan and beyond it is often paired with orange slices and sal de gusano, a spicy ground worm salt.

Pull pesos from an ATM when you land, avoid the hotel-zone exchange booths, and keep small bills for taxis and tips.
Had one heavy storm that shut tours for a day, pretty annoyed, but local street food rescued the trip.
If you want beaches and cenote day trips, 5 to 7 days gives time to relax and explore without rushing.
All-inclusive resorts are comfy and easy, but downtown tacos and markets felt more authentic to me.
Sun, turquoise water and great seafood, but beaches fill up by noon. Four days was perfect for us.
