Page "Mexican cuisine" Paragraph 15

Southeastern Mexico is known for its spicy vegetable and chicken-based dishes.

Cochinita pibil ( also puerco pibil ) is a traditional Mexican slow-roasted pork dish from the Yucatán Península.

The cuisine of Southeastern Mexico also has a considerable Caribbean influence due to its location.

Seafood is commonly prepared in states that border the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, the latter having a famous reputation for its fish dishes, à la veracruzana.

According to the book " Mexico One Plate At A Time ," even though the dish ceviche has been a part of traditional Mexican coastal cuisine for centuries, ceviche is not a dish native to Mexico.

Despite this, Mexican ceviche has developed its own distinct styles that make it unique from the other variations available.

The origin of ceviche is disputed but it's a seafood dish popular in the coastal regions of the Americas.
