What Huevos motuleños means
Huevos motuleños is a Mexican main dish name of Spanish origin meaning "eggs Motul style". It is built from Spanish huevos (eggs) and motuleños (from Motul, Yucatán). It is pronounced WEH-bos moh-too-LEH-nyos, and it is most associated with Yucatán.
Motul is a Yucatecan town whose Maya name is older than the dish. The attribution to a particular cook there in the 1930s is local tradition rather than record.
