Amrita P.

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!

Dessert of the day: Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
Terrysue T.

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.

Hibiscus starter and yucca fries
Vidya R.

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 .

Gambas al Ajillo
Maggie W.

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.

Salmon taco
Linda M.

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.

Elotes
Dharma M.

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.

Fried Plantains and Elotes (Vegan)  Guava Lemonade
Leslie S.

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.

Vegan Calamari Taco
Meghna N.

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).

Queso fundido, chicken tacos, plantain salbutes, cochinita salbutes
Jeremy V.

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!

I am one of those people who thinks that just about every meal needs animal protein or it won't be satisfying. Well, Happy Flower proved me wrong because I came away with a very happy and full stomach and I did not even miss the meat! We ordered 8 different dishes to share family style, and I was especially pleased with the all seasons sampler and vegan fried rolls appetizers, as well as the pad Thai, salted fish fried rice, hainan chicken rice, tomato fish, and happy clay pot entrees. Each dish was quite large such that all 9 of us were able to try generous portions of each dish. And then we got two servings of the mango sticky rice to share and the mango was amazingly sweet! I did not try their boba drinks, but a few of my friends ordered drinks and enjoyed them. Their boba drinks are sized quite large as well. I will say, the meat doesn't necessarily taste like the meat it purports to imitate, but the textures for the fake chicken and fish are pretty spot on! Service was friendly and helpful and they delivered the dishes at a good pace. The inside isn't fancy, but it's clean and well lit and spacious. I wish I had known about this hidden gem sooner, but they had a good clip of takeout orders and families coming in for dinner. Parking is also plentiful and easy in their large attached lot. I will be back!

The spring rolls and the golden rolls appetizers are top notch--it would not be hard to convince me that the spring rolls contain something addictive because I cannot seem to get enough of them! Coworker's favorite appetizer is the wonton poppers, which are also great! I've tried several things on the menu and while my coworker and I have some favorites (the lemongrass beef must be tried, and the green curry and curry noodle soup are both also fantastic), we haven't had anything so far that we haven't liked. I did bring my husband for a meal on the weekend and he wasn't a fan of the fried buns for the char siu bbq with lotus buns and thought the char siu was too sweet, but he enjoyed the spring rolls so hopefully he'll give it another chance later. Vietnamese iced coffee here is also good, but it's not one of the places that brings the little drip filter out to the table etc. in case you're looking for that (my coworker was hoping for it when we first came). The decor is fairly typical of a place run by the Supreme Master Ching Hai group, and the menu has the same vibe if not the same items (my sandwich-loving husband was dismayed by the lack of banh mi), which is a bit of a change from when I had been here previously almost a decade ago. I think it's a change for the better. The location is clean and the wait staff are friendly to the point of sometimes being suspiciously chipper, but it's actually pretty endearing. They also have a little mini market by the door where a few vegan dry goods and instant coffees can be purchased, although I haven't tried getting anything there yet since we're usually on our way back to work. Merit is part of my regular lunch rotation, so I expect to be back many times! Maybe someday I will have tried everything on the menu, even!

I ordered General Tso "chicken", Chow Mein with "meat" and Eggplant Tofu with Basil to go. I was so surprised that less than 5 minutes, all 3 dishes were ready.

The interior is clean and well kept (I guess more than you'd think looking at the little strip it is part of), and the wait staff are friendly. The parking lot for the strip mall this is in is on the small side, though, and may be tough to find parking during the lunch rush if you don't arrive early (and I would highly suggest carpooling). Tasty and friendly, I need to remember to suggest this place for lunch more often over the closer places we tend to think of first! I will definitely be back!

So definitely no complaints. The venue itself is great, surprisingly kids friendly (lots of games and things to do), food (primarily Mexican) is excellent, beer and alcohol selection superb, probably a really good place to watch San Jose Sharks games and the Caddy Shack photos in the bathroom was a nice touch. Also, I have to add that ahead of the Super Bowl I called and visited a couple of times, and the staff was very helpful. So overall, very happy with the experience and would highly recommend. Hope to be back again sometime in the future.
