Antojitos la Chiapaneca - Tulum, Mexico


There is literally nothing that can make me feel better after that Isla Mujeres disaster-tour. Absolutely nothing on this planet...wait, is that pastor?


Antojitos la Chiapaneca specializes in street tacos, most notably al Pastor. Strips of pork parade around a spinning, shimmering spit, as a small fiery furnace chars each slice of glistening gristly glory. These tacos melt in your mouth, putting even pork belly to shame, and suddenly my nightmare day is barely a memory.


The Carne Asada is another option. The steak is tender with ready juice, and it's one of the best I've had, but there's no real reason to stray from the pastor.


Get any meat in a Torta if you don't want the taco mess, but pay the extra for the melted queso on top. The pastor savors up the soft, toasted roll, a porky pleasure in every bite.

The pastor at Antojitos la Chiapaneca is the best thing I've eaten in Tulum to date, and it's also the cheapest. 130 pesos (that's less than $7 USD) buys 12 tacos and a torta as well as a couple of glass-bottle cokes, and had I known we could eat this well for this cheap, I would have come here for dinner every night.
