"I’ve tried just about every venue for Yucatecan food in el D.F. over the years, and none has matched the quality of Coox Hanal (pronounced “coosh anAHL”). The peninsula’s most famous dish is cochinita pibil, it is piled on a thick tortilla over a slather of black bean paste, and called a ‘panucho’."

Eric Mahlzeit

"Essentially small, open tacos with a layer of refried black beans, topped with shredded suckling pig pibil and slices of cebolla morada (marinated purple onion). These panuchos are wonderful, with just the right balance between slightly crispy fried tortilla, frijoles, and luscious pork."

Diana Hurtado

"Among the dishes that I was able to enjoy are the panuchos, which are small fried tortillas stuffed with beans, and on top is the cochinita pibil accompanied by sauce and red onion. Coox Hanal is a place that I highly recommend and where you can go to spend a pleasant moment while enjoying delicious traditional dishes of Yucatecan cuisine while listening to songs of yesteryear."
