El Rincon de los Antojos

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.
