Maya's Kitchen By Chef Ramiro

We were out for a conference and looking for a quick lunch somewhere close by and this place popped up my Yelp! Ambiance was nice, we sat outside on their patio and it was perfect weather. Service was quick, we were sited right away and once we were ready order was placed in food came out in reasonable amount of time. Chicken Tinga was amazing. Full of flavors and they nailed it. Highly recommend it. Dobladitas de chilli poblano was second best dish we ordered. It was very well balanced and they tasted amazing. Tacos arrachera was really good. The meat was great. Other dish I recommend. Cheviche was ok. Not out favorite. Over all it was great experience, I would recommend this place.

If you plan to visit this restaurant solely for drinks, chips, and salsa, you 'll most likely enjoy it. If you 're hungry and looking for good eats, please look elsewhere. I brought my family to Tequila Museo Mayahuel to celebrate my mom 's birthday. I 've heard great things about the restaurant so I had high hopes. We had a reservation so we were seated upon arrival. The restaurant is beautiful. Without knowing any better, it seems like the perfect place for a date or birthday dinner. Shortly after being seated, we were given chips and salsa. The salsa was some of the best salsa I 've had in my life. Delicious is an understatement. We scarfed down the chips and salsa like we were given a time limit to eat it. We were all amazed by how good the chips and salsa were we were so excited for the rest of the food because if the chips and salsa were this good, the entrees would be mind blowing... or so we thought. I knew I was in for disappointment when I asked my server if I should order a dish and he advised against it. As a table, we ordered the Vegan Mole Poblano, Pistachio Spicy Mole Sauce, and Tacos Adobobados De Res. I also ordered the Mango Y Chile frozen cocktail. The food came out in about 15 minutes. We all took our first bite and looked at each other with sadness and shattered hope. None of us liked our food. Our server was cool so we didn 't want to complain, but none of us ate more than 1/3 of our respective plates. I don 't have one good thing to say about any of the dishes on the table. Que triste. When our server came by to pick up our plates, he said, You didn 't like it huh? He already knew we 'd be in for disappointment. On a positive note, the Mango Y Chile frozen cocktail was amazing. 10/10!!! Even though I strongly disliked the food, I would return for the Mango Y Chile. +1 star for that beautiful drink. Sacramento has such good food. Skip this place unless you have a free food voucher, even then you should be wary.

I'm very disappointed with our experience at Tequila Museo Mayahuel given it was just me and my friend who spent nearly $100 for not so great food. The highlight of our lunch was our drinks and chips with salsa and guacamole. WOW... that should say a lot. On the other hand, our small plates and main entree were lacking so much flavor and barely tasted like it was seasoned/marinated. The drinks we got were Mango Y Chile on the rocks) La Flor. I'm not a huge tequila fan but this drink is allowing me to have a change of heart. Chamoy, you can never go wrong with and the agave gave it a hint of sweetness. My friend enjoyed the La Flor and the taste of hibiscus along with a slight spice from the jalapeño were different but good different! Chips were salted and thick providing a great crunch when using to dip into the salsa Guac. By the way, Guac was seasoned well! Loved it!!! For our meal we ordered Brochetas de Chorizo Y Queso small plate) and Carne de Puerco en Salsa Verde entree). Coming out to our table they looked delicious! After a few minutes of us tasting everything it was unfortunately subpar. The chorizo had some tough parts unappetizing to me) which I had to spit out. This made my dining experience unpleasant and wished the cheese could've been more present. Seemed almost nonexistent. The pork for the entree was very tender, however, didn't taste like much. Salt would've gone a long way here! Rice just seemed like white rice not necessarily Spanish rice. My friend said it reminded her of minute rice. : Lastly, we ended our meal with a dessert. We've both had flan before so we opted for Imposible. Man, this dessert was a disgrace. The flan itself was very gelatinous and broke down in my mouth like extra firm tofu. It even looked like tofu!!! Chocolate cake near the bottom half I couldn't even get past and I like chocolate. It tasted too firm and gummy. Sadly, this is not a place I'd recommend nor come back to. I hope it was an off day for the restaurant and others have a better experience than we did. I still can't get over how much we spent on this food when I can get stuff for half the price at a mom and pop restaurant.

My wife and I visited here for our anniversary lunch, having made a reservation in advance. We later discovered that it 's an elevated Mexican restaurant, but looking back, an authentic street Mexican cantina might have been a better choice for us. We started with chips, salsa, and guacamole as our appetizer. I ordered the Mexican Mule, which I enjoyed, and chose the Arrachera Méxicana con enchilada for my main course. My wife went with the Mayan Margarita and three mini chicken tinga crispy tostadas with a side of Mexican rice. While the drinks were decent, the food didn 't quite meet our expectations. It wasn 't bad, but given the hype surrounding this place, we were expecting something more. Instead, the dishes were just okay, nothing that really stood out or made a lasting impression. The ambiance was visually appealing, with vibrant colors and design elements inspired by Mexican culture. The setting was intimate, though a bit on the crowded side. The service was good, but nothing particularly memorable. In the end, the experience felt like an ordinary meal out, rather than a celebration of our special day.
