good to know
The restaurant bills itself as fusion, but it is mostly Yucatecan cuisine beautifully presented.
The name was originally Popol Vuh, then Chichen Itza. The cook and food have been the same all along, just trademark issues or the like.
The owners,are Carlos and Delmy Ruiz. Delmy is from the Yucatan. Carlos is from Durango and cooked at Bistro Clovis, a French restaurant.
The actual name is Poc-Chuc but too many duplicate Place records were getting created.

Regarding La Taquaria, just note that it is primarliy a taco/burrito place. My favorite in the City for that kind of food, although I find it as a quick lunch type of spot..
However when I have tried Mexican food in LA the restauarants have been more sitdown type places with more varied menus. If that is more in line with what you would like to compare SF mexican food, you may wish to consider...+READ

If that is more in line with what you would like to compare SF mexican food, you may wish to consider the relatevely cheap Poc Chuc which has some outstanding home cooked, soul infused mayan dishes.-COLLAPSE

One of us ordered the grilled fish and the other their signature dish of poc chuc. Both we cooked perfectly, with all the side dishes bursting with flavour. We also really appreciated the complimentary homemade tortilla chips and delicious...+READ We headed to this little restaurant in the Mission district on the recommendation of the Chowhound boards and had the best Mexican food either of us have had!

I really love the Escabeche de Pavo (Turkey Stew). It's one of those earthy, hearty dishes that make you feel if you were raised on it it (I wasn't), you would be taken home again. I don't know if that makes much sense, but it's a dish I wouldn't eat every day, but get cravings for it every month or so. REPLY (79 Replies)
