The "piedras" (rocks) are a typical Yucatecan snack that you can find at the famous baseball games and in street stands with glass cases. It consists of a seasoned corn dough that can be filled with beans, among other fillings, and is accompanied by chopped cabbage, onion, and habanero chilli. This snack gets its peculiar name "piedras" due to the crunchy texture it takes on when fried in oil, and the vendors are popularly known as "piedreros."
