As I said at the end of my last post, I was going to have my afternoon dinner at one of the restaurants on the upper level at the Medellín Market. At the top of the steps is a place called Cha Cha Cha, and its specialty is Yucatecan food.
I ordered one of the Yucatecan packages. It included a pitcher of "agua fresca". The "agua" of the day was flavored with lime and cucumber. It was refreshing.
"Sopa de lima" (lime soup), the most characteristic soup of Yucatán, is a chicken soup flavored with lime. It was generously garnished with "totopos" (tortilla chips).
My main course was a plate of tacos of "cochinita pibil", a traditional Yucatecan dish of slow roasted pork.
The meal was certainly not the best Yucatecan food I have had, but what do you expect for 90 pesos (5 US dollars)? It was cheap and filling. I might return sometime to try the South American food at one of the other market restaurants.
