Small place with this warm, earthy vibe — smells like roasted peppers and lime the second you walk in. I got the cochinita pibil and a mezcal cocktail; both were unreal. Everything feels thoughtful but unfussy. Staff actually seems proud of what they serve, which you don’t see everywhere. One of those dinners that sticks with you for a while.

Mayan cafe firstly my parents were form out of town and they read about this place. They wanted to try it so bad, and they were so blown away. We got the steak, duck, and pork dish (apologies forgot the specific name of the dish) but it was all beautifully seasoned and tasted wonderfully! Make a reservation because they do fill up fast! The server we had he was so knowledgeable and so kind. The whole staff was wonderful! I recommend this place on a unique and just a great experience!

Paseo was excellent. First time visiting and it will not be the last. All the food was great, but we were shocked with how good the carrots and hummus brulee were. I had the duck confit and it was the best duck I have ever had. My wife had the hanger steak and it too was the best hanger steak we've ever had. Ashley was helping us out and she was awesome.
