Review:
The Mayan Cafe is an indigenously inspired farm-to-table restaurant that serves traditional Mayan cuisine from Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula.
Located in the East Market Gallery District and boasting a bright and vibrant ambiance, the Mayan Café fits right into the trendy neighborhood with its ever-evolving soulful food.
Head Chef Bruce Ucán, a native Mayan from Mexico, combines fresh locally sourced ingredients with traditional Mayan flavors and cooking techniques to create innovative and delicious dishes that draw on his rich Yucatan heritage. The menu features dishes with traditional Mayan roots, including the Yucatec Salbutes and cochinita pibil.
Others are a modern take on an ancient dish, such as Chef Bruce’s own version of chilaquiles. An enticing beverages list offers signature cocktails, aperitifs, and flights of tequila and bourbon.
