Over the years many of our renters enjoy having Chef Miguel Playa del Secreto's "Chef at Large" (my husband) prepare for them a few of their meals so they can try some of the regional Mayan Dishes and the fresh fish and seafood that is caught daily. They tell me that it is one of the highlights of their trip!

    Our Menu has a variety of Mexican, Mayan, Fresh Seafood & Fish Dinners to choice from - all served family style or as a buffet. One of the favorites is the Regional Pork Dish (Cochinita) made with Fresh Pork roasted in banana leaves seasoned with mild spices and orange juice, then shredded and served with warm tortillas. Along with Traditional Mayan Dishes such as Black Beans, Mexican Rice, Flautas, Enchiladas with Red and Green sauce, Guacamole, Flan and Margaritas. "Bontanas" (Snacks) also available.

    Have fun trying regional Mayan or Caribbean Food and experience the "Sazon y Sentimiento" (Taste and Feeling) of Mexico.

Are you interested in an Afternoon Mayan Cooking Class in your villa or an 3 or 4 day Mayan, Caribbean, and Mexican Cooking Class Vacation see Chef Miguel's Cooking Class webpage www.CancunChef.com.
