Taquerías Kisín

This bustling taqueria outside the city center of Merida draws a crowd, with hungry diners all here for a taste of Chef Roberto Solis' signature taco style. Dubbed "pastor negro," Solis takes trompo-style cooked pork and enhances it with the local spice paste of recado negro, a staple in Yucatán cuisine. Meat may be enjoyed as tacos, tortas, nachos or even gyros. Empanadas, made with yellow masa and flecked chayo, or Mayan spinach, are filled with gooey queso de bola and served with a roasted tomato salsa, make a perfect snack. Tacos are a must, as are the house-bottled agua frescas, especially the piña quemada made with burnt pineapple. Churros or rice pudding are perfect for those craving something sweet.
