Best tacos de pastor! 🤤 The Taco Loco is a big burrito 😋
You must also order the queso fundido (melted cheese with your choice of meat and tortillas)
The best Fogon is closer to the house on P. del Pedregal & Av Luis Donaldo Colosio. All Fogon's are great though, I just prefer going to this one because they know me by name & my order lol

Must watch the Danza de los Voladores (Dance of the flyers, ritual originated in Veracruz) The ritual consists of dance and the climbing of a 30-meter (98 ft 5 in) pole from which four of the five participants then launch themselves tied with ropes to descend to the ground
Mayan dances are also performed here throughout the day. Find a space on the beach behind el Portal Maya.

My favorite cenote. Jump off the tree on the raised platform if you dare. Gets crowded so go early if you prefer a calmer environment. No sunscreen allowed
Entry is 200 pesos, they'll check your trunk for alcohol so I'm not telling you to put the cooler in the back seat but...

Go to Punta Sam to hop on an Ultamar Ferry to Isla Mujeres. I recommend renting a golf cart to see Punta Sur. Playa Norte is absolutely gorgeous. Take some pictures on the rainbow stairs located in the middle of the isla. The Joint is a great place for live reggae music & good food/drinks
