From the foreground to background: Papadzules (a kind of dip made from roasted goard seeds, tomatoes and boiled eggs); chaya leaves sauteed with onion (they're actually leaves off of a tropical tree); panuchos with beef and pickled onions; empanadas stuffed with fried pork rinds and topped with sour cream and salsa mexicana; a very hot habanero salsa (the all purpose table sauce in this part of Mexico); a big green salad; and Maya style tamales with a beef and hoja santa filling.
