Focaccia - solid but commonplace Avocado dip Chickpea fritter - fun dish, similar to the flavors at Ettan. SKIP: Crispy quinoa and tuna poke. Fresh fish but bland

All was very good , portion they say is to share but I don't think so, excepted like us , that we were 4 for people at the table and we share the food ordering a little extra. Prices are in the higher range. Service need to improve, some of the drink was club soda and Diet Coke, they bring in a glass when you ask for refill, then you get the surprise in the bill that they charge for each drink because are in a 6oz or less per bottle.....and the server didn't explained that, and cost $6 per bottle. Also Was very slaw and didn't follow our table during the time that we were there, just the busser to pick up the dirty plate and bring the drinks refill. The atmosphere was nice modern and big patio area. Sorry I didn't take pictures to all dishes. ( in this location use to be a Faz restaurant) I will back to try some other dishes.

The refried beans and cheese had smooth texture, creamy but lacked flavor. The chips and salsa were good. Crispy and flavorful. The beef flautas were okay, kind of greasy. The beef was shredded, a little tough, not much flavor. Crunchy shell. Nice amount of lettuce on top to mix it all in. The tastiest combo we got out of it was loading the chips and salsa with rice and beans, and any part of our main entree. Sort of a nachos-like bite. The food overall was really mediocre. The strawberry margarita was so disappointing, very ice slushy and watered down. Not boozy. No strawberry flavor either, despite looking the part. Uneven pours for the table. Unfortunate.

The place is small, but it seems like a place where people pick up to go more than stay and eat kind of place which is also a good indicator of good food. I decided to go with my safest bet of whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant a super quesadilla with carne asada. Then I don't know why but I also had the urge to have a fish taco, the best fish tacos I ever had were in Ensenada many many years ago. I like the place, the fish taco was surprising really big. I did not have expect their tacos to be that big. They stuff their taco with guac, pico de gallo, lettuce fried fish and melted queso. It was good I really enjoyed it with the squeeze of lemon and their green and red house made salsas or was quite delicious. You can't really mess up quesadilla it was also very good with its fillings inside the quesadilla, squeeze some lemon on that and combine both the green and red salsa you won't regret it.

I've never been a fan of all the add ones so I usually don't get the super taco. The carnitas taco is crispy pieces on the outside & soft tender on the inside go perfectly with the soft corn tortilla. On this visit I also tried the al pastor taco regular. A bit of tang with the crispy edges, would probably be my second go too moving forward. That's if I dont fall in love with the buche (pork stomach) or tripas (cow intestines) first, which will be my next order. ;) Stay tuned.... And ABSOLUTELY YES, use the spicy rojo salsa and do that squeeze of lime! Perfect and compliments these tacos immensely.

A new favorite in downtown Sunnyvale!…read more I travel to the area for work and have visited downtown Sunnyvale a few times, but somehow, I'd never made it to Mayak Kitchen. I'm so glad I finally did! I grabbed a seat outside, and my server was over very quickly. Even though they were closing in about 45 minutes, I never once felt rushed or like I was an inconvenience. (Honestly, had I known they were closing that soon, I probably would have chosen somewhere else because I know how frustrating that can be for a restaurant!) The service was welcoming, and I really appreciated that. A carafe of water with fresh lemon and mint was brought to the table, which was a lovely touch. And after a long day of flying across the country, I decided to treat myself to a Jamaica margarita. No regrets there! not overly sweet like margaritas tend to be. For dinner, I went with the cochinita pibil, and WOW. I've had a version of this dish back home at one of the few authentic Mexican restaurants in the Cleveland area, but this was a completely different experience. Of course, different regions bring their own flavors and preparations, and this was a delicious reminder of that. The pork was incredibly flavorful and so tender, and the rice was packed with flavor in a way that complemented the pork perfectly rather than competing with it. Every part of the dish worked together beautifully. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying several other things on the menu that caught my attention. Mayak Kitchen definitely made a great first impression, and I'm happy I finally gave it a try! If you're in downtown Sunnyvale and looking for somewhere new to eat, put this one on your list!
