When Guy wants to satisfy his appetite for Mexico City-style specialties in Cancun, he heads to this cozy restaurant with the clever name (it means “the corner of cravings” in Spanish). Three generations of women serve satisfying, spice-laden dishes, such as a chile relleno that’s a local favorite. “That’s the bite,” said Guy, after tucking into the grilled and fried poblano pepper, which comes stuffed with a creamy Panela cheese, coated in an airy crust and drenched in a bright, tomato-based sauce. Another crowd-pleaser is the chicharron gordita, a savory fried pastry bursting with crackly pork rinds and a homemade, heat-packed salsa.
This trip, Guy Fieri's headin' south of the border to dig into Cancun cuisine, like an authentic, family-owned spot where grandma's cookin' up real-deal rellenos and killer chicharron gorditas. Then, an underground locals' joint pairing urban art with dishes like off-the-hook pork and seared tuna. Plus, an inside look at Guy's Playa del Carmen restaurant, serving up everything from nachos and tacos to ceviche.
