We traveled north on Kabah Ave from Cancun centro to find a cart making fresh Tejuino. This drink is made with fermented corn and shaved ice with lime juice. Don’t be scared, it is surprisingly delicious!

Tejuino is originally from the state of Jalisco, Mexico. It is made from corn dough. This dough is mixed with water and brown sugar, then boiled. It is lightly fermented, then mixed with a little salt and lime sherbet or shaved ice with lime.
My name is Trina. I moved to Cancun in 2005 from the United States. It was not an easy move and I had to overcome many challenges, but along the way I met some awesome people. I worked for many years for a travel agent here in Mexico before I decided to go out on my own and offer travelers the best service and advice about Cancun that I had learned over the years. This is my dream come true.
