We wanted Mexican and seafood, and we found this Mayan restaurant! I don’t think I’ve ever had Mayan cuisine before but it was very good. The nachos were yummy and I highly recommend the fish tacos. We got nachos, fish tacos, cochinita pibil, cochinita burrito, and garlic prawns. Everything was fresh and delicious. The fruits and veggies were a great combo and I liked making my own mini tacos. Everyone was full and happy – great portions!

A group of us with dogs came by and ate in the outdoor patio. We had great service. They even bought out bowls of water for the dogs. Everyone ordered something different, and everyone loved their choice.

Best fish tacos in the Bay Area. I like fish tacos. I eat a lot of fish tacos. These are the freshest, tastiest fish tacos I’ve had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. The other dishes we ordered were equally tasty. The waiter was a delight. Entertaining and personable. The casual, in-home setting made it so much more enjoyable than a big restaurant. This will be the go-to meeting place for when coming down from the north bay to meet friends coming up from Santa Cruz.

In a town with a dozen Mexican restaurants how do you distinguish yourself? It’s Mayan, which means more braised meats, and lighter iterations with lots of colorfully flavorful toppings.

Having Celiac with Allergies to Wheat, rye,soy, barley, Love that it’s always safe for me to eat here and with so many dishes to choose from that do not contain soy and gluten . I love this place it’s so good and healthy it is my #1 favorite place to go on the pacific coast. Beautiful atmosphere really authentic Mayan dishes and absolutely fresh and delicious. Love the Owners and crew and the fact that it’s a family ran business with all the comforts and feeling like home only but better with five star food by a talented borne chief of a family of chiefs in my opinion , really amazing food.

Authentic experience, feel like granma cooking for me, although I never had mayan grandma, but I would imagine her cooking to be like this had I have one. The beef quesadilla was really good. I felt the soup was only alright.

This place was good with a sunny atmosphere and great service, but the food was not super memorable. I had the Panuchos and others in the group had chincinita, eggs Yucatán style, and poc Chuk. Overall, the breakfast looked the best (served until noon)

The setting is an old converted house, and the food tastes homemade. A very relaxed/casual environment. The food and service were both great. They have a variety of food options from the unique Myan dishes to dependable U.S. dishes such as burgers for kids that may not want to try something new. We will definitely return to try their breakfast menu items.

Great place a bit out of the way of downtown, delicious Mexican and south American food, fresh and reasonably priced. The empandas were great, so were the fish tacos. Plenty of parking, note they only accept cash.
