Yucatán’s clock runs on flavors
In Yucatán, meals are not just about eating — they are rituals of identity, community, and heritage.
While most countries stick to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Yucatecans divide their day into several moments of food, each with dishes rooted in centuries of tradition.
At Homlunch, we believe the best way to experience Yucatán is not in a restaurant, but at someone’s home table, tasting their family version of the classics.
The 7 mealtime moments in Yucatán
-
Breakfast (7:00 – 9:00 a.m.)
Panuchos, salbutes, or huevos motuleños with refried beans and fried plantain.
“Yucatecan breakfast is the happiest way to wake up in Mexico.” — Rick Bayless. -
Mid-morning Almuerzo (10:00 – 12:00 p.m.)
Cochinita pibil tacos, relleno negro, or escabeche. Morning turns into a feast. -
La comida (2:00 – 4:00 p.m.)
The king of Yucatán tables: frijol con puerco, especially on Mondays. Served with white rice, radishes, cilantro, onion, and habanero salsa. -
Merienda (5:00 – 6:00 p.m.)
Sweet bread with hot coffee or chocolate, often with marquesitas or polcanes. -
Dinner (8:00 – 9:30 p.m.)
Here comes the iconic pan de cazón: tortilla layers filled with spiced shark, tomato sauce, and black beans. -
Late-night cravings (after 10:00 p.m.)
Salbutes, panuchos, or tortas de lechón fill the night streets with irresistible aromas. -
