Mayan Kitchen Food

Solid restaurant to get food at and is vegan friendly! Lots of seating available. I came here for lunch with my vegan friend on a Friday. It wasn't busy in the restaurant itself. Since I had a heavy breakfast, I only ended up ordering two items: the beef empanada and the chicken bao. Both were flavorful and left me feeling satisfied. My vegan friend also really enjoyed his dishes and couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. You can also order Robu Coffee and have it delivered to your table.

We stopped by here on a weekday to grab dinner, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. They gave us a window table, which was pretty cozy. Their menu has quite a lot of variety of items to try and also a decent amount of vegan items. We started with some drinks--passion fruit margaritas and sangria. The drinks were refreshing and also looked great. We started with some yuca fries and garlic shrimp and later got a couple of tacos (salmon and pulled pork). Everything tasted delicious and flavorful.  The staff was very friendly. We later realized that the person attending us was the chef.

Ended up here after walking in circles in Downtown Sunnyvale trying to find a specific coffee shop that I later found out had relocated (shout out to one of the servers for helping me realize this). As I didn't want my trip to be a waste and I had yet to eat lunch, I decided to get some food to-go before heading back home. The ambiance both inside and out was nice, with a clean, modern yet colorful interior inside and a fair amount of seating outside that most of the people seemed to have preferred. I decided to get one Churrasco Blue Corn Taco, which costed about eight dollars, and the server gave me some water while I waited in spite of it only taking around four to five minutes. I'm not sure what kind of water it was, but I detected a hint of what was possibly lemon. Once I got the taco, I noticed it was a little smaller than I expected for eight dollars, and wasn't as filling as I thought it'd be. I'm willing to over look this however, as the menu did suggest to get 2-3 servings of taco per person which would make a meal around 16-24 dollars, which is unfortunately still cheaper than most other places I know. On the brighter side, the flavors of the taco were amazing. I'm not sure if the meat included was fake or not as I hadn't asked, but if it was it was probably the best fake meat that I've had. The experience I had here made what would've been a questionable and somewhat unfortunate trip in Downtown Sunnyvale a little brighter, and I'd be willing to come here again if I ever feel like returning to this area for whatever reason.

Sitting in the center of historic Murphy Avenue, Mayan Kitchen has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (perfect on a summer evening). Empanadas 9/10: We tried the vegan and beef empanadas and loved them both. Crisp exteriors paired with flavorful, juicy filling made these a great appetizer, though I wouldn't have minded eating a bunch as a meal. Cochinita Pibil 8/10: This slow-cooked pork dish is good and borders on a 9/10 with its appealing presentation, fall-apart pork, and cilantro rice. I wish the pork had been a little less greasy as the fat congealed on the bottom, but I really enjoyed it regardless. The pickled onions give a nice hit of acid. Served with Tajin dusted jicama and beans. Potato Croquettes 7/10: I really enjoyed these but the cranberries were wholly unnecessary. I love croquettes and cranberries, but not together. They added a sweetness that clashed with the wonderfully savory croquettes. It's plated with tomatoes that are dressed in a cheesy, almost mozzarella or burrata flavor profile. Easily a 8.5/10 if it weren't for the cranberries. Aqua Fresca (seasonal Dragonfruit) 8/10: On the sweeter side, but still a really tasty drink. Their agua Fresca flavor changes throughout the year. Vegan Cheesecake and churro were good. Our server heard that we were hoping for a churro with no cream and was able to get one for us (they are cream-filled by default). Overall, the service was attentive and this spot caters really well to vegan diners and non-vegans alike!! They did forget one item on our order, but I won't dock any points for that :)

OMG! If I lived closer I'd eat here all the time! We had a most delicious lunch here today. We tried a bunch of yummy dishes (drinks, appetizers, small plates, entrees and dessert) and everything was beyond delicious. So many amazing choices but the stars included the vegan calamari tacos, the vegan empanadas, and the dessert churros. So so so delicious! Service was super friendly and the restaurant couldn't be cuter.
