El Paisano del 23

Pork-leg tortas and tacos beside the market

Budget: MX$80–180 per person
Address: Calle Jabín near Mercado 23, Downtown Cancún

A long-running torta and taco counter right by Mercado 23. The star is slow-cooked pork leg (pierna), marinated in red wine. Reviewers praise the bread, the salsa verde and the slaw, and fresh juices sell well. It costs well under hotel-restaurant prices.
