For many years, and I truly mean years, when we drove up and down Highway 101, Maya Palenque in Novato always caught our eye. However, we never stopped there for a meal or a drink until recently. When we finally had the chance to visit, we wished we had done it much earlier.
As we entered the restaurant, I noticed the bar area where people were sitting, drinking, chatting, and watching football on TV. My initial impression was that this was more of a working man’s hangout. But as we moved into the dining area, were seated, and overheard conversations around us, I realized it was more of a local favorite. The atmosphere was warm and family-oriented, with couples, both young and old, and families with children of various ages.
Our server came over shortly after we sat down, bringing us a basket of freshly made chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. I had read about their tasty margaritas, but decided against ordering one this time since I was tired and driving home to San Francisco. So, we went straight to the main course! I ordered Adobado, a dish I hadn’t tried before. It features thin slices of pork tenderloin marinated and grilled in a chipotle-adobado sauce, served with plantains and sour cream. It turned out to be a very satisfying and fulfilling choice, although it didn’t stop me from asking for flan afterward.
Let me tell you about my obsession with flan! I love it, but to me, a good flan should not be too sweet or overcooked to the point of being hard. It should be firm enough to hold its shape when served, yet soft enough to tremble as it is presented. The flan here was perfect!
The two staff members who managed the floor were wonderful. They answered our questions while we ordered and checked on us several times afterward to make sure we had everything we needed.
The restaurant had nice decorations. While I don’t know much about its history in the neighborhood, it seems to have been there for years. I spent a few minutes admiring the various drawings on the walls and other decorations throughout the dining area, which certainly caught our attention.
Overall, this was a pleasant experience. We will definitely stop by again, and next time, I’ll be sure to try their margarita!

Excellent food and very quick service. We went on a Sunday night when it was pretty quiet. I had the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. It melted in my mouth and was absolutely delicious. The food was brought very quickly. This place is definitely going to be a favorite from now on.

This is probably the best Mexican food I have ever eaten outside of Mexico. The red salsa was the best I’ve ever eaten. The chicken molé was the best I have ever eaten. The food was prepared quickly. The service was pleasant. The atmosphere was wonderful. The price was extremely reasonable. If I could have a last meal on Earth that wasn’t my momma’s or my wife’s, it would be at this restaurant. My compliments to the chef!

Lovely atmosphere, delicious family Mexican restaurant. Staff is wonderful, attentive, and friendly. We ordered the classic margarita and spicy mango Rita for drinks, salsa is fabulous and comes with chips. Ate taco salad with chicken and vegetarian burrito with Spanish rice and refried beans. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for margs & yummy Mexican food.

We stopped to get a little bite, to keep us safe. When our bodies run low on fuel, a we are in a small space with someone, we can get irritable with each hour.
I had never been here before.
I lobe their deco!!! Totally cool!!!
We each had a Margarita. Pretty good for $7 we also gotfree chips and salsa (nothing to write home about. We had the Calamari for $7. Tasted like fresh oil on the Calamari. There were some yummy vegies, too.
Now we will be able to travel to onward without screaming at eachother.

Fantastic restaurant with delicious food, drinks and great service. My partner and I enjoyed nachos & calamari as starters on their happy hour menu and enjoyed happy hour margaritas as well. Then we got steak fajitas and the meat was flavorful and tender and the veggies were fresh. The beans were also really good. Will definitely come back. The staff was very attentive

We always seem to end up here for super special date days for my hubby and me. That day was no different. Great food, great drinks, and great service, every time! The atmosphere is perfect for our personalities. We were a little bummed that the back deck was rented for a party, but that was fine, we enjoyed seeing others having fun! Oh, and I LOVE the artwork!
