Taquería Honorio

They cook four Yucatecan things in one small room on Satélite Sur: cochinita pibil, lechón al horno, relleno negro de pavo and poc chuc. El Universal credits the pick to people from Quintana Roo, not to visitors.

Why go

El Universal's reporters went to Tulum and put this counter on the list of what to eat: A unos tacos nunca se les dice que no, y menos cuando están entre los mejores de Tulum (dicho por quintanarroenses).1 The board is four Yucatecan dishes deep and the pig carries three of them.1

Order this / avoid

  • Order: cochinita pibil, and the lechón al horno beside it. El Universal names both, along with relleno negro de pavo and poc chuc.1

What locals & experts say

  • El Universal, on whose judgment this is (21 August 2021): A unos tacos nunca se les dice que no, y menos cuando están entre los mejores de Tulum (dicho por quintanarroenses).1

Verdict

could-visit — El Universal is the only publication we would cite that has ever named this counter, and it credits its judgment to people from Quintana Roo rather than to visitors, which is the right kind of signal on a taqueria. It also names four Yucatecan dishes, so a reader can order. That piece ran in August 2021 and nothing published since that we can use says whether the same hands are still cooking. A five-year-old pick is real evidence and it is not enough to build a higher rung on.
