CEBU, Philippines - As if the tasty tacos and deliciously potent margaritas weren’t enough reasons to keep us coming back week after week, Maya Mexican Restaurant and Tequila Lounge introduces yet another must-try dish on their well-loved menu- the puerco pibil. The puerco pibil, also commonly referred to as the cochinita pibil, is a traditional Mexican stew of slow roasted pork in banana leaves with annatto seed, citrus juices and tequila. If that sounds good to you, this popular Mexican dish is yours for the taking at Maya for only PHP 495 for a limited time only from April 5 to May 5, with the promo to be a capped off with a Cinco de Mayo party that you will not want to miss.
Those familiar with the cult favorite, “Once Upon a Time in Mexico,” are sure to have heard of the puerco pibil. In the film, antagonist Agent Sand’s obsession with the dish leads him to murder, proof that the puerco pibil must be a dish that is truly to-die-for!
