Great Mayan themed menu with many options, you really can’t go wrong. The people that run the place are incredibly kind. Everything I’ve had here is great. They make some of the best guacamole in the city in my opinion. Highly recommend.

Mayan restaurant with some unique and different dishes. The pic-chic is excellent with bbq pork, fried red onions, marinated shredded cabbage and fluffy rice. It also comes with hot tortillas and a big bowl of black beans! We also ordered the mixed maya platter which was very good. The stand outs was the empanadas, and two covered puffed tortillas! You get a lot of food so given the price of the mixed dish is $17 and the poc-chuc is $18, it’s a bargain.
It is a bit loud inside with music videos going nonstop but service was good.

August 2023:
Stopped by for dinner and ordered the poc chuc pork special plate. My very first time eating Mayan food.
I’ve driven by this place for years. Finally stopped when I was looking for a place to eat.
The grilled pork came with rice, beans, tortillas and some grilled veggies. Everything was very tasty. I thought the marinade of the pork was good. Almost like a Vietnamese grilled pork marinade.
The tortillas were super fresh. The pull is what I look for in a tortilla! Chips and salsa were delicious.
Agua fresca was refreshing! And es muy Grande!
Service was very friendly. Both workers were busy busy!
Cons: The pork was very fatty. So I had to trim all the extra fat. I probably over ate because I felt uncomfortable for a while.

Mislabeled as Spanish and Mexican on yelp and Google. Mayan is not synonymous with and is distinct from both Spanish and Mexican cultures and languages. While Mayan cuisine can be included in Latin America, the more accurate description would be Mesoamerican.
It is wonderful to have Mayan cuisine represented. However, I am being generous by giving a two star rating.
The proteins were quite good overall. It is fun to get flavors that are unique such as poc chuc and pollo pibil. I enjoyed the mild salsa, though it wasn’t very flavorful. I also enjoyed the fried plantains. The chips were over fried. We asked for refills of the small bowls which were served few and far between with observable disdain from the server.
The service was poor. There was one person in the kitchen and one person serving the front which resulted in waiting quite a long time for our food. The customer service was offensive to say the least.
Also, the website no longer functions and the receipts were unhelpful.
We came here because of its proximity and the higher reviews relative to other restaurants nearby. The reviews within our party were mixed.

Loved dinner here. Everything was so flavorful, and the menu was different from most Latin American places.
To start, the chips and salsa was excellent, with really crunch fresh chips.
We tried the fried plantain appetizer, which was both HUGE and really really good. We also had the tostada which were tasty as well.
Mains – the cochinita pibil was amazing – a really rich porky stew which was delicious. The poc chuc was also very good. Last, the salpicon was tasty but not as good as the other two. All the dishes came with particularly tasty rice as well.
Service was a bit slow, and the appetizers came out at the same time as the mains, but I can forgive that when the food is this tasty.

Unmatched in it’s arena! Great food, and the restaurant becomes a sort of club on some weekend nights, with a DJ, smoke machine, and lasers! Crazy cool. I had the cochinita pibil, salpicon, and bistec de res (which was my absolute favorite). Home made corn tortillas are incredible, as are the black beans. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
I’ve been back twice, got the veggie trio both times. Phenomenal vegetarian (vegan?) option, the vegetables are all seasoned and cooked well, and the pickled onion/cabbage are a great acidic contrast. Be sure to ask for more of the hot salsa.

Fantastic. Food was amazing, portion size was as expected and staff were super friendly and let us stay and dine despite having to wait for our entire group. Inside the music is really loud and a bit stuffy but it’s cool, quiet and refreshing outside after 6:30pm. Great for a group of 4!
I got 2 tacos and split the Poc-Chuc entree with 3 others. The rice in the Poc-Chuc taste fantastic and the pork is cooked really well too!
Unfortunately charged us $3 more for the wrong drink but besides that would love to come back, thanks for having us!

Have you ever heard Mayan/Yucatan cuisine in Mexico? I think this is the most unique and extraordinary place when it comes to eating Mayan/Yucatan cuisines. This is absolutely top notch!! Mole,Poc-chuc are the most representative cuisines which are awesomely good. Totilla is daily hand-made so the shape is not well rounded. Mole is watery but, simply good. Poc-chuc is winner. It has perfectly fantastic combination of citrus marinade and grilled pork. Taste is amazingly sour and flavorful. It looks like as if Korean pork is grilled with citrus marinade. Kotzito is insanely good. Taco is rolled, deep fried, smothered in tomato, black bean sauce almost like gravy. It was very unique experience!!

Saw this place highly recommended but dragged my feet to come because from the photos it looks like any other Mexican place (and why go here when I could get a burrito?) but wow it’s the way the food is executed here that’s great. From the salsa that came with the chips (fresh ingredients) to the level of doneness the meat is cooked to the bite of the pickled vegetables to the softness of the handmade tortillas, this was delicious. There’s a nearby place with a similar menu and Poc-Chuc Restaurant is just on another level, go here!
