Labna, Cancun

Next door to La Habichuela, this restaurant serves what it calls “Mexican Haute Cuisine,” which is just really good traditional Mexican food prepared with a lighter modern touch. Come here for some traditional Yucatecan dishes like cochinita pibil, pork rubbed in achiote and served in a sour orange marinade. They also have queso relleno, one of the weirder Yucatecan dishes--Edam cheese stuffed with ground pork, raisins and almonds. Their sopa de lima (chicken soup with lime and tortilla chips) is wonderful, as are the papadzules, tortillas stuffed with eggs in pumpkin seed sauce.
