      Yum!!! I've only eaten Mayan or Mayan/Fusion a handful of times and I really loveeeee flavorful Panuchos and Salbutes!! MMMM I think I most recently tried Poc-Chuc with a friend in SF and he is actually born & raised in Merida and he thought it was decent . We ventured together to try this spot and we were absolutely blown away! This is such an inviting beautiful oasis of a restaurant. I really loved the clean look and all the nice plants decor.

      Our group ordered Panuchos, Salbutes, and some rice/beans for the little ones. The server was super nice and welcoming and the food came out quick! It was hot. It was fresh. It was DELICIOUS! I can't wait to try more items on this menu!!

      This place was suggested by a friend since he's tried them before, and it did not disappoint! Parking was easy to find on the street, but there is also a parking structure located nearby as well. We were seated and accommodated right away, and our server was so friendly and gave us recommendations on the menu.

      For appetizers, we ordered the Elote Tater Tots with Carne Asada and Shrimp Ceviche. The Elote Tater Tots were my favorite out of the two, super flavorful and a little bit spicy. You also don't see this combo a lot, so it was a must-try. The Shrimp Ceviche wasn't bad as well, but it lacked the juice it usually has. For my entree, I ordered a Carne Asada Burrito Bowl. It was really good, but I think it had too many black beans and could've tasted better with some sour cream. My boyfriend ordered the Carne Asada Quesadilla, and I enjoyed that one a lot.

      I also ordered their AFK Until Mañana cocktail, and I was really impressed that I couldn't taste the rum flavor. It tasted like a Piña Colada to me, very refreshing! The ambiance of the restaurant was nice too, colorfully decorated and had music playing in the background. I would definitely come back to reorder the items I liked, as well as try out other items on the menu

      Arrived before 6pm and was able to grab a table and make Happy Hour 3p-6p. On HH special margaritas, elote tots and more.
      My 2nd visit and the handshaken margarita with their seasoned lime are flavorful and delicious. My favorite is the elote tots, I've had it before as a meal but since we shared I ordered their soup which was hearty with pasta, beans, pickled onions and more - I did order with a thigh bone chicken on the side and could have done without.
      The restaurant is cozy and decorated with a Yucatán flair. There's more light if you sit at a table near the window.
      Thanks to Mare for a pleasant dining experience.

      Great place! Was able to walk in on a Sunday without a reservation and got seated immediately. There was a relaxed atmosphere.

      Food was great and it hit the spot. Was a big fan of the tater tots especially.

      We loved this place! This is my second time here and there's a lot I like.

      The atmosphere is great! They have great platters and appetizers to choose from. I tried the panucho with Poc Chuc. This was delicious and so flavorful. Also had the ceviche and guacamole. Can't go wrong with either of these options. We shared a platter recently for a birthday and this feeds from 3 to 4 people. It comes with a sampler of all the meats. I got to say that my favorite was the Cochinita pibil and the Poc Chuc. The picado was also really good!

      The cocktails are also delicious. If you like mezcal, you'll be sure to see a good variety. They also had mocktails which looked nice!

      I liked that they have an interesting variety of Yucatan dishes. The Cochinita pibil is very flavorful and rich. Highly recommend! I'd get that again.

      This was my second time coming to this restaurant. A friend of mine recommended it and I am so glad she did. The food and drinks were delicious and we especially love that this restaurant is Latin owned and operated. You can clearly tell a lot of love and attention to detail went into creating this space and the menu. I had the opportunity of meeting the owner and she is absolutely lovely. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family!

      The food was very authentic North Mexican. We enjoyed the platters. The service was friendly and prompt. The place was crowded but not so much that we couldn't get a table or had to get out early. We will visit again

      Great service. Cute little place. Food was fresh!
      The ensalada Xec was delicious and super fresh. My friend had the bowl and it looked vibrant and yummy. She ate the whole thing. Large plate of green and red chilaquiles. Those, I think could have used more sauce and the chips didn't look like fried tortilla but rather just chips from a bag. I may be wrong on that. It was a large serving though and my friend enjoyed them. I'll definitely be back!
