Context
Mérida's markets and loncherías are the traditional places to eat cochinita pibil, lechón and relleno negro in tacos, panuchos and tortas, usually for breakfast. Lechón, whole roast pig with crisp skin, is the other great pork dish of Yucatecan taquerías, and many places serve both side by side. Buying cochinita by the kilo for family meals is a common Sunday custom in Mérida.
