Amazing vegan menu. We went here with our kids and had a wide range of choices on the food and drinks menu. The taste was average -- I've had better Mayan food, however, the presentation and service were excellent. The ambiance was low on space, but very well organized and decorated. Family-friendly, there were other multigenerational groups. My family was satisfied with the taste and service.
I totally recommend checking this place out! We visited during the art and wine festival for a quick bite and this place is right. The Yucca fries are 10/10, I'll probably order these anytime I visit. I also ordered a tamale . It was flavorful and moist. I can't stand masa. The have indoor and outdoor seating which is a nice option if you enjoy people watching. :D The server was awesome and checked on us frequently. I'll be back to try other dishes!
I came here with two friends (this place was recommended by my sister-in-law). We were able to make reservations ahead of time. I ordered the Cochinita Pibil. It came out fast. The pork was so tender and juicy. Loved how the cilantro rice was underneath the pork. The juices of the pork tasted so good with the rice. Per the dessert menu, if we paid by cash, we were able to get the Dessert of the Day for free. So we paid by cash and got a chocolate hazelnut cheesecake to share. It was yummy! Not too sweet! Our waiter was so kind and attentive.
Yummy food from Mexico. It looks like they remodeled the restaurant. Looks sleeker. The service was great. They provided a complementary ice cream at the end. Thank you! Oh and they sell their own Mayan hot sauce so I got one to go! It was delicious so I can't want to use it at home with my meals.
I am a vegetarian and my friend is a vegan and to find food we like any easy .This restaurant has an entire vegan vegetarian menu with unique tastes and textures . I loved the horchata ( cold and tasty with a tinge of cinnamom ) . We had the yucca fries and hibiscus 'calamari ' fries and they were yumm and a lot and very crispy . We had a bao( taco ) , a taco ( cauliflower ) and a salibute ( salibute ) . Overall great food , service and ambience . We stayed on after the restaurant closed while talking and eating at our pace .
Can't say that I've tried Mayan food before, but figured better late than never! There are a lot of food options, but I decided to go with the small plates so I could try more things. I got the beef empanada, chicken pibil taco, and tamales de pollo. I also shared the gambas al ajillo with my friends. I think the shrimp dish was the all around favorite of things tried. There's a lot of garlic flavor that really complements the shrimp flavors well. I like the balance between the soft/juicy shrimp and the crunchy crostini. I thought the small plates were pretty good, but not quite as flavorful as the shrimp. Service was quick! We didn't have to wait very long for the food to come out. There is ample seating inside and variety of different tables/semi-booths.
Wow, truly an amazing experience. Mayan Kitchen Food is such a gem on Murphy Street! There's plenty of parking in the area, this street is also closed off to cars for outdoor dining. Located right next to the caltrain station. Neither one of us had ever had Mayan food before so definitely piqued my interest, because it isn't very common. It's very nicely decorated inside, including a little water feature. We opted to sit by the window and got a pleasant breeze. The staff was all very nice and helpful! They do gorgeous plating and the food has beautiful colors! We had the vegan calamari to start, absolutely amazing and. Pretty good dupe for actual calamari. The sauce was super yummy and wow! I don't even like creamy sauces but I kept coming back to this. We then moved onto the wagyu beef empanada, which was very good and the tamal de pollo. My partner basically inhaled the tamal de pollo. The salmon taco reminded us of the ones we've had in Mexico, great flavors. The cochinita pibil salbute was perfectly tender and had great crispy contrast as well. Absolutely delicious. Would definitely return and bring friends so you can try a little bit of everything!
This place is AMAZING, so glad I found it on Yelp! I don't find myself in downtown Sunnyvale often, but when I came across Mayan Kitchen while searching for Women-owned businesses on Yelp, I knew I had to get down here ASAP. One of the things that sold me on Mayan Kitchen is that I was dining with someone who is gluten free, and they have so many options that fit the need. We tried a bunch of items from the menu, with some of our favorites being the Cochinita Pibil, beef empanada, and the pollo salbute. I also had leftovers that I brought home to my boyfriend and he loved them all, especially the elote. Excited to come back here and try some new items, as well as those favorites from before.
First mayan restaurant I visited. I planned to come last month but didn't get a chance. Finally able to visit and try the food and drink. It has indoor and outdoor seating. It is located on closed street from vehicle. The interior is simple and you feel like you are somewhere at the restaurant in other part of America. It has plenty dishes and drink on the menu. This place will be "heaven" for vegitarian has it has plenty vegitarian dishes on the menu. We order mocktail which were refreshing. For appetizer? Yucca, tortillas chips, and elotes are yummy. The dipping for tortillas is very unique. It is not salsa. The bao and mayan tacos are yummy. Interesting the serve bao.it is exactly like Chinese bao. Pricewise it is reasonable but some are quite high. Service was good and we went home happy.
On New Year's Eve, we decided to try Mayan Kitchen. I had been there once before for appetizers and really enjoying the food. My second experience was no different. The majority of menu is vegetarian. It had a good ambience with a cool water feature. Food was very tasty. We had guava lemonade.fried plantains, corn ribs, tacos with steak, pork, fried hibiscus flowers and hot chocolate with oat milk, Everything was extremely flavorful. Service was excellent. They were constantly cleaning off our table from the empty plates and refilling our glasses with water. We will be back.
They have plenty of vegan options. The food was phenomenal..I tried the vegan calamari taco (5/5). It's fried hibiscus. Loved it so had to try it again (so had 2 of them). (The service was great too, everyone seemed nice) P.S Don't alter/modify your order like I did. I modified one of the soft tacos to the crunchy one and didn't like it (too greasy).

This was one of the most enjoyable meals I've had in a while. If you are in Sunnyvale and looking for some truly authentic Mexican food. Give Mayan kitchen a chance! Great food, amazing service, I will be coming back soon.
Incredible food! So glad I stumbled upon this spot during food week. The waiting system is rather confusing & they don't call you-- so be sure to hang around if you're close on the list (this could've just been because it was a busy day) With that said, the food was well worth the wait... which speaks volumes about how good it was. The staff was apologetic about the wait and it seemed like they were short staffed, so not on them at all. Everything was made deliciously fresh and piping hot! There is both indoor and outdoor seating available!
first off, thank you fellow yelpers for your comments. I just did appetizers here to go as I usually do. the one that amazed me the most was the tamale. I ordered it because of fellow yelper said it wasn't as heavy as others and they didn't like masa so I got a tamale. omg! this tamalia is fantastic. it's the lightest masa I've ever had and I've lived in Mexico. I don't know how they do it. very delicious! if you even kind of like tamales order one of these off the appetizer menu it's a go-to. I got the chicken one and I put a little green salsa on it and it's heaven show. then I got the pachucho, one pavel and one steak. it's the second paville I've had on my trip here and what made this one. fantastic is the base of this is what pabile needs and they hit everything right with the case of fresco the onions. it could have used a few more onions, but every bite was like heaven. The steak was delish, very tender but I'm going to go back to the pibil every time. the base of these panchcos is kind of new to me. I don't know that it's Mayan Mexican or maybe El Salvadorian or maybe a creation of their own. they're delish. I received a small little container of green sauce and it was delicious as well read more

Stopped by this restaurant and the food was fairly good. Had chips with some salsas and beans and they slapped and the corn ribs were really good. Also had some tacos and those were good as well. Not too busy over all and I would recommend! read more
We made reservations ahead of time initially for 3 and then changed to 7, but for some reason the update didn't go through the system. But the server accomodated us nevertheless with a smile and very courtesy. Service gets 4 stars - very polite. Ambiance was average to slightly upscale. Food is where this place came through with lots of hits, and a miss or two. We ordered a number of items and here is what enjoyed The vegan empanada and the vegetarian empanada were both good - served warm. We ordered 3 types of bao including the vegan, the tofu and the beet. Now the issue I had was that both the vegan empanada and the vegan bao both seemed to have the same Impossible vegan filling so they tasted very similar. The tofu and beet bao were good - the bao bun particularly was super soft Definitely order the jicama salsa as well as the regular salsa. Also order the hot chocolate, the kiddo said it tasted like the one he loved back in Barcelona. Overall definitely worth a visit and a repeat. Hopefully they will rotate the menu so we can keep going back. read more
I had the vegan bao bun delivered for a work lunch, it was delicious! The bread was super fluffy and the impossible meat filling was very flavorful. From the pictures I thought it looked kind of dry and/or bland but it was actually really really good. Menu has several labelled vegan options, would love to come back and try more. read more
Crave-worthy! And vegetarians, rejoice! This restaurant has so many options to choose from that it should be a must on your list. The food was really good. So was the michelada. Everything we tried was delicious. Literally, just close your eyes and point to anything on the menu. I can't remember the names of everything but just look at the pictures! Can confirm, everything was delicious. Cute little date spot. Definitely make sure you CHECK IN TO CLAIM your free churro! They have bad service so I wasn't able to check in and I sadly did not get my churro... Don't be like me. read more
Everyone there is also dress as Mayans (they are also Hispanic) And as someone who is Guatemalan, it did remind me of home. So that was really cute. The only downside is that they are very expensive. For one of these things they are about $8-9 a pop. If you are someone who eats a decent amount you are looking at around $20 - $30 minimally. And the plantains were $12. I definitely do think you can go somewhere for similar food but it was very yummy and a great experience. So you are paying for the extra ambient and service :) read more

Choose this restaurant for a reunion lunch for a group who travels to Costa Rica together. It did not disappoint!!! The six of us all enjoyed our menu choices! I ordered a bao with chicken and a tamale with chicken. Both were excellent and the hot sauce made each even better!!! The gourd also ordered friend plantains to share which were quite tasty. read more
Great service and a spotlessly clean environment! I tried the pork dish, but it was just "fine" for me--nothing spectacular. However, the staff made me feel very welcome. I'd give it another shot for the atmosphere alone, but I'll likely skip the pork next time. read more

*First time review, dined indoors* Okay whaaat! This place is insanely good! I am already planning my m next time back. My friends live near downtown Sunnyvale and wanted to meet here. Everyone that works here is so nice! They knew it was my first time and didn't rush me. I got a few things to try, loved everything. Do note the plates are fairly small but that's the charm. Everything is "one" so you can try a variety. Elote - 10/10 big ribs of corn, seasoned really well, tender corn. Crispy shrimp taco - 10/10 I did get mine with no coleslaw just because I don't care for cabbages shrimps were tender, flavorful and the shell was extremely crispy in the best way Beef empanada - 10/10 ordered one, had to get a second. Absolutely insane flaky crust, seasoned tender beef, very good. Only complaint is this one is 2.5 bites, wish it was a bit bigger Chicken bao - 8/10 super soft bao bun, was unexpected to see this here but glad I got it! Sauce was great, had a bit of a kick. Nice amount of chicken Horchata - my friend ordered this and I had a sip, best horchata I have ever had! Was not watery and did not have a crazy amount of sugar-- perfect sweetness Interior - super cute. Not extremely fancy but that's the charm. Lowkey but still nice inside. The servers cleared out table promptly which I enjoyed because we kept getting new plates read more
Overall I thought this restaurant was OK - nothing was bad but nothing really stood out to me either. I ordered the charred cauliflower appetizer and two tacos (pork and salmon). The cauliflower was fine, but I was expecting it a little more char given the name! There was also a little too much sour / pickle flavor for my preference. I liked the salmon taco and the aioli, but the pork was kind of mushy and didn't have much depth to the flavor (spicy, sweet or something else). I was most disappointed in the pork since I feel like that is a staple here! This still satisfied my taco craving and I think there are many other dishes to try, however, I probably wouldn't go out of my way here. It is worth nothing that this is probably a great spot for vegans and vegetarians though due to their variety of non-animal options. read more

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. read more

Food was great. Located in downtown Sunnyvale in Historic Murphy Avenue. We shared the Queso Fundido, Wagyu Empanada, Pollo Panucho, Cochanita Pibil Taco, Cochanita bao and churro. I really liked the queso and empanada. The chicken was flavorful in the Panucho. Service was great. He checked on us often. It is thoughtfully decorated with paintings, waterfall, and the seating. It would have been nice to sit outside but it was breezy. It is nice to walk around afterwards in the closed off street. Parking can be tricky. read more

This is one of the best vegetarian restaurants around. I like that they have such a selection of regular and non meat options. Let me start by saying that this restaurant is located in a very popular location,it's surrounded by other restaurants and bars. I feel like there's plenty of parking spaces,yet it always takes forever to find a spot to park. We walked in to get seated.we tried to get outside seating,but decided not to wait. There's plenty of inside seating, especially if you have a large party. The waitress took our drink order and said she would be back to take our order. As it recommends on the menu,we ordered a variety of of plates to try. We had a nice mixture of vegetarian plates along with some meat dishes. I realized it was crowded,but it would have been nice to have the waitress stop by more often to refill our drinks. I'll still continue to come here, the is that good. read more

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. read more
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 :) read more

Fresh and flavorful. Cozy and warm ambience. Top notch service. Our food recommendations came from the Chef himself. No wonder we enjoyed all the dishes. We tried Elotes, Queso Fundito, Tucca root fries, Conchinita pibil, Polo pibil, Chipotle prawn amongst a few. What stood out for me was the fresh food, tender meat and well balanced spices. Will highly recommend the Elotes, Conchinita pibil and the churro stuffed with cream cheese! This place won't disappoint. Must try! read more
