Yucatasia, Mission @ 17th/18th San Francisco

[Torina]

Just wanted to share with my fellow SF'ers that this place, next to Southpaw BBQ on Mission, has delicious Yucatecan snacks.

My partner and I are devotees of the Yucatan and have visited four times in the past few years. These panuchos are like the ones you might get sitting at one of the shops in Parque Santiago in Merida. Pavo, turkey, is what you would normally get, but Yucatasia also offers cochinita, poc chuc, etc on the panuchos and salbutes. Very tasty, sizeable, and $2 a pop.

We'll be back to try more soon. Poc Chuc torta was very tasty, although not necessarily like anything I've eaten in Mexico. While we can't get the entire spread of delicacies we enjoy in Yucatan, we will definitely be back for more panuchos at least.

Thanks for the update. I've been wondering about this place, which I haven't heard much about in quite a while.

Is there much Asian influence on the menu, or is it pretty purely Mexican?
