The dishes were great. The purple tortilla ? The tortilla chips and homemade salsa ?

I had the enchilada plate. The sauce was rich and spicy and the guacamole with chips also came with a sort of creamy salsa that was heated up. Everything was delicious. Black refried beans were super tasty. Sat outdoors, nice setting and good service.

I came here after feeling not so satisfied from the drinks at Drakes which was a few restaurants up the block. There was another Mexican restaurant next to Mayan but this place has a better bar. :) The only downside is they don't serve happy hour menu and is a tad pricey. Overall, the nacho was filling except the chicken was dry. I enjoyed my guava margarita. As a side note, they only serve margarita over rock and not blended. I guess that's a sign of authenticity?

A hidden gem for the best Mexican food that I've had in San Carlos if not the Peninsula! It's rarely crowded, which I don't understand and the atmosphere is nice. Food is fresh and delicious. Margaritas are great and they offer beer on tap. Here's what I've tried, all scrumptious: carne asada, vampiro, carnitas, nachos, taquitos, and Mexican salad. You won't go wrong and far superior to anywhere else in town.

Brilliant restaurant... We hired their team to help our company celebrate Hispanic Heritage month and they created an incredible menu for us. A spread of guacamole and sauces with chips to start, chicken mole and rice and beans, freshly prepared tacos onsite, ceviche and strawberries and cream + flan for dessert! Their team was friendly and their service impeccable.

Fantastic food and great service, this place isn't nearly as popular as it should be. Try the shrimp tacos, they're excellent, great cocktail selection too ?

Pretty cool ambiance Friday and Saturday nights. Kitchen closes at 11pm those 2 days Pretty good service at tables and bar. Good beats from Mexican, Latin, reggaeton and other mai stream music to liven things up.Crowd late 20's to 40's.Great menu and tasty original Mexican traditional dishes good value.

Very good food, good service, reasonable prices, and nice outdoor patio.Vegetarian options: Although they have few vegetarian options, their entrees can be ordered without meat. I personally had the nachos, which by default are vegetarian.Parking: There is limited street parking, but parking lots/garages in the general neighborhood.

We stopped here for our final dinner while on vacation in California and enjoyed tacos and Margaritas. Restaurant was very nice, service good and the waitress friendly. The tacos were deliciousParking is challenging but that’s not the restaurants fault. Would definitely recommend this place.
