Our team visited Mayan Kitchen in Sunnyvale’s downtown on Murphy Avenue for lunch. One standout positive was their surprisingly large selection of vegan options, which can be hard to find in Mexican-style cuisine. This made it a convenient spot for a group with varied dietary preferences.
We tried a couple of their specialty drinks , the brown rice horchata and the tamarind agua fresca both of which were refreshing and nicely balanced. For appetizers, the fried plantains were delicious and well-prepared. However, the other starters, like the chips and salsa, came in very small portions for the price. The same goes for the charred cauliflower, which tasted good but included only 5–6 pieces and felt significantly overpriced.
As for the entrées, the general consensus from both vegan and meat eaters at the table was that the dishes were just okay and nothing particularly memorable or standout in terms of flavor or authenticity. The churros were another letdown: we received just one, and it wasn’t especially impressive, yet priced on the higher side.
The highlight of the visit was definitely the friendly and attentive service. Still, while the ambiance and staff were great, the food felt overpriced for the portions and overall taste quality.
Overall, Mayan Kitchen offers great service and an admirable range of vegan options, but the menu could benefit from more generous portions and stronger flavors to match its price point.

Mayan Kitchen offers tasty food and good service, but there are a few things to be aware of. Ordering was a bit challenging for me since the menu felt somewhat chaotic, with too many “top seller” or highlighted items competing for attention.
We started with the Sikil P’ak and the queso fundido to share. Both were enjoyable, and the tortilla chips were especially good. For my main dishes, I chose the cochinita pibil and the blue churrasco tacos. The cochinita was great. The churrasco tacos were decent, but the raw peppers didn’t quite work for me. Finally we ordered churros, which is a great way to end. 1 or 1/2 per person was more than enough for us.
Service was good throughout, and while the tacos aren’t cheap, the pricing feels fair for the quality of the ingredients. One downside was the seating: our table had a half-sofa, half-chair setup, and the sofa was a bit uncomfortable — whenever someone moved, the whole seat bounced.
Cocktails here are wine-based, which is worth noting, but they offer a nice selection of Mexican beers to balance it out. Overall, a flavorful and enjoyable experience with a few minor drawbacks.

It’s not easy to find a vegan friendly restaurant in South Bay but Mayan kitchen surpassed all our expectations! They have authentic South American (mayan) food and lovely service. We have revisited multiple times and have never had any complaints.

The bao plus Mayan tacos tasted delicious. It was interesting to see bao served just like traditional Chinese style. Pricing felt reasonable overall, though a few items leaned higher. Service was smooth, leaving us happy while heading home.

First mayan restaurant I visited. I planned to come last month but didn’t get a chance. Finally able to visit and try the food and drink. It has indoor and outdoor seating. It is located on closed street from vehicle.
The interior is simple and you feel like you are somewhere at the restaurant in other part of America.
It has plenty dishes and drink on the menu. This place will be “heaven” for vegitarian has it has plenty vegitarian dishes on the menu.
We order mocktail which were refreshing. For appetizer? Yucca, tortillas chips, and elotes are yummy. The dipping for tortillas is very unique. It is not salsa.
The bao and mayan tacos are yummy. Interesting the serve bao.it is exactly like Chinese bao. Pricewise it is reasonable but some are quite high. Service was good and we went home happy.

This is one of the best vegetarian options around. It’s extremely hard to find Mexican style vegetarian food.
If you never been here. There’s only restaurants and bars.So it gets extremely crowded on the weekends. There’s plenty of parking across the street. And a big parking garage near by. We ordered a bunch of tapas so we could try all of the different options.
The waitress came back to refill our drinks. I understand that it gets crowded on the weekends,but I felt like the guys were clearing the small plates quickly. I can’t tell if that’s good service or they were trying to rush us out. This is definitely a spot to try for a great vegetarian options

Opinion Worth a Thought
Good food, drinks and dessert selection. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Love the simple decor of the space. However, the furniture makes it feel like a cafeteria
It’s a bit overpriced in our opinion, but it’s in a good location with lots going on outside on the main street. Parking can be tricky when there are events happening, but it’s worth a try

They have plenty of vegan options. The food was phenomenal..I tried the vegan calamari taco (5/5). It’s fried hibiscus. Loved it so had to try it again (so had 2 of them). (The service was great too, everyone seemed nice )
P.S Don’t alter/modify your order like I did. I modified one of the soft tacos to the crunchy one and didn’t like it (too greasy).

If you’re a vegan this place is 100% worth it. And to go for restaurant week I feel like it’s worth. For the drink menu, if you’ll drink alcohol, go for the sangria. The white sangria which is bubbling and popping. The margaritas here are meh and I wouldn’t get them. Our favorites were the vegan calamari taco and the bao. We have some gripes with them but they’re great. First off, the vegan calamari tacos are crispy, well-stuffed, double-shelled. We both thoroughly enjoyed them but my gf had a hair between one of her two taco shells and I think that kind of ruined her appetite. They fixed the order up quickly so that’s nice. The baos were great. Only weakness was the bottoms were a big soggy. As for the other dishes, the salbute was nice and crispy but airy and soft. The wagyu beef empanadas are meh. I wouldn’t get them again and the stuffing isn’t that flavorful. The spicy salsa is spot on. It’s like 1/2 a jalapeno worth of heat. I would ask for it because it adds another layer to all of these dishes. The staff here is all prompt and even the head chef is out there on the front lines. The place is kept clean and modern.

I recently visited Mayan Kitchen in Sunnyvale and would rate it 3 stars. The restaurant offers a commendable range of clearly marked vegan options across appetizers, small plates, and entrées, making it a good spot for plant-based eaters.
However, the ambiance left much to be desired. The setting was not as inviting, and it was one of the least crowded places on Murphy Ave on a Wednesday night.
The service was impressively fast, but it didn’t give off a fine dining vibe, which was somewhat jarring considering the high prices. For instance, charging $7 for chips and salsa, a common freebie elsewhere, seemed quite steep. Similarly, an $8 vegan taco felt overpriced. If you want them in home blue corn tortilla that is another 75 cents extra.
The food was a mixed bag. The jackfruit taco and vegan meat taco were decent, but they lacked the flavor punch I was hoping for. Additionally, unlike most places, there were no extra sauces or salsas provided on the side with the tacos.
On a brighter note, the black beans were well-seasoned and enjoyable, but the cilantro rice was a letdown, being overcooked and overly seasoned.
In summary, while Mayan Kitchen has its strengths in vegan options and speedy service, the high prices and lackluster flavors hold it back from being my top choice for dining on Murphy Ave. I might not rush back anytime soon.
