    Kind of need to agree with the only other review thus far from this year. I feel misled by the…read moreprevious reviews, seeing that's how we chose this place to try. We made sure that the hours were correct, made sure they had food, and made sure that it would be appetizing for us. On our way here, I felt like I had taken a wrong turn on multiple occasions. Just turns out that it feels like you are going the wrong way until you come upon the plaza. Had to double check we were in the right place. Pulled up, parked, and walked in. What we were met with was not restaurant in nature. It was more of a store in transition with seating. As soon as we walked in we noticed the table in the one corner being used as a trash heap. Cardboard boxes broken down and stacked upon one another. So many, you couldn't go in that area. We also thought we entered here during their closed hours as there was no one in here, or so we thought. No customers and it looked like no employees. That was until someone came from behind the counter with a mouth full of food. We did a quick look around and pretended to be interested in the coolers before we left out. It did not smell as if food was being prepared in here. It almost came off as a convenience store than a place to grab what sounded like some pretty good food.

    **BLINK AND YOU'LL MISS IT.**…read more Man, what an awesome little Mexican spot. Cafe Aroma is nestled on the strip of brownsboro right across the street from Taco Bell. look for the sign that says "real Mexican food" and they aren't fibbing on this. The fish tacos here might be my favorite in town done street style with onions and cilantro and does a great job of highlighting the fish; (tilapia if I'm not mistaken) so if you're looking for delicious, simple clean fish tacos this is the place. Leave your exceptions low, and not in a negative way at all as the atmosphere here could be off putting if you're expecting a glamorous sit down restaurant. There is a bit of langue barrier as Spanish is mostly everyone's first langue there but they do a great job of helping you through the process. Lastly, there's a lot going on here at this little spot (small convince store, money orders, calling cards) so don't be skittish and yes, I promise you're in the right place. Only down side is I can't have a beer with my fish tacos but grab yourself a glass bottle coke and you won't even miss it.

Of the 10 friends only two said the food was OK. The rest were very disappointed. My food arrived 45 minutes to an hour after everyone else's my burger was raw and I had ordered it well done. I took one bite and threw it away. When Management came to ask how everything was I deferred to my other family members because I did not want to complain then they specifically ask me and I was honest. Instead of offering to comp or refund my meal, they offered to remake my burger, but we had already been there for 70 minutes and it took 55 for my burger to come out. They brought me a beet juice which was delicious. I just sold my café four months ago in Montana and anytime a customer was not completely satisfied. I comped their meal or reimbursed them for the purchase price. I love the people here. I love the concept, but today was a complete disappointment and I know nine people will probably never return.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Mayan Cafe. We sat outside in the tucked-away patio area that…read morealmost feels like dining in an alley--in the best possible way. It was a really pleasant setting for dinner. Service was attentive. The scallop ceviche was the standout. The bay scallops with poblano-serrano vinaigrette, cucumber, roasted corn, onions and cilantro were fresh and flavorful, and the malanga chips were a great addition. We loved this starter. We also had the Tacos de Lengua. The braised beef tongue was tender and tasty, served on handmade corn tortillas with onions, cilantro and mashed avocado. The Mole of the Day featured ribeye with Veracruz chocolate mole, along with braised cabbage with apples and bacon. The flavors were good, although the presentation wasn't quite what we expected--the mole came in a small cup alongside the ribeye rather than being incorporated into the dish. And my piña colada was yummy--definitely a win. Overall, a very enjoyable meal in a charming outdoor setting. The scallop ceviche was the highlight and something we'd happily come back for.

    They take "farm to table" very seriously here. Almost everything on the menu lists the origin farm…read moreor other source of the main ingredients. This includes the waitstaff. My waitress Rebecca included this info in every one of her answers to questions about menu items, without fail and from memory. I was feeling salad-deprived and this one definitely appealed. The name "Summer Salad" gives nothing away but it was the description that got to me: watermelon, jicama, chayote, oranges, mint, feta cheese, currants, pepitas, cashews, mint-coconut-ginger vinaigrette. A fantastic riot of flavors, crunchy vegetables, perfectly and lightly dressed with the unique vinaigrette. Everything was at the peak of freshness, full of flavor. Radishes and jicama sweet and juicy, the mandarin orange segments obviously hand cut from a fruit, not dumped from a can. I wasn't familiar with chayote, sliced into shoestrings. It reminded me of unripe pear or maybe a firmer cucumber. A truly memorable salad; I don't say that often. As an authentic Mayan restaurant you won't find Tex-Mex here. The closest thing would be the Tacos De Lengua (that's beef tongue) Grass-fed and from a local farm of course. For a vegetarian maybe Mushroom Enchiladas would appeal: housemade corn tortillas, mushrooms, black beans, chihuahua cheese, tomato casera sauce, queso fresco, kale & frisée. I was more intrigued by the Mole Of The Day which as the name suggests, changes daily. Described as "locally sourced, sustainably raised meat, Veracruz chocolate mole, roasted broccoli." That day it was a ribeye from Berry Farms. I've only had mole with chicken before but I gave it a try. Glad I did. The steak, though thin, was seared a perfect medium-rare, almost fork-cut tender and juicy. It was served atop the mole and they didn't skimp. There was plenty of this thick, aromatic sauce hinting of so many flavors I couldn't quite identify. The chocolate was surprisingly subtle and didn't become obvious until later. A perfect balance of flavors, fairly mild yet just assertive enough to stand up to the steak. I ended up getting too many vegetables. I already mentioned the delicious salad. And the steak also came with roasted broccoli and carrots. They were perfectly cooked and would have been sufficient. But I forgot the steak came with the vegetable side so I also ordered a Summer Veggie Mix (broccoli, carrots, green beans, squash). Each vegetable trimmed and cooked to its own peak of perfection then the whole thing lightly dressed in a sweet glaze. Very good. I also forgot that I had asked about the lima beans which sounded interesting and Rebecca said that because it was my first time they were on the house. These arrived with my steak as well. So many vegetables! I took some home and about 1/3 of the steak. Listed on the menu simply as "Tok Sel Lima Beans" they were the highlight of the meal, vegetable-wise. I Googled it and only Mayan Cafe web pages came up. It's apparently their invention and they list the recipe! I'll have to try making it; so good. The ground, roasted pumpkin seeds, coarsely torn parsley leaves, green onions, and fresh lime completed this dish. Drinks menu included many intriguing specialty cocktails featuring smaller, eclectic brands of spirits. Many tequilas and whiskies. One of the offerings was "Black-Owned Bourbons," a flight of 4 from black-owned companies. Local beers only. As for sodas, you won't find Coke or Pepsi on this menu, just some small craft brands I haven't heard of. Kudos! I tried the Blackberry Smoke: "Mal Bien zacate limòn mezcal, Narano bitter orange liqueur, epazote syrup, blackberry." Wonderful smokiness from the mezcal, cool and refreshing with crushed ice, a riotous crimson-fuchsia color from the crushed, partially pureed blackberries. Alcohol strength seemed about right for this kind of drink. For dessert I had Dark Chocolate Torte: cayenne, pecan & cashew crust, fresh fruit. The torte was chocolatey with an unexpected light texture almost like a mousse. The cayenne and cinnamon gave it a slight kick. The fruit sauce drizzled on top and on the plate was tangy and aromatic. The fruit was a generous bunch of blueberries, large like the New Jersey farmed kind but sweet and tangy like the wild Maine kind. Nothing, not even fruit on the torte, is an afterthought here. Other positives include the ambience and service. The outside covered space had widely spaced tables and comfortable chairs, individual table lamps, many plants and patio lights, attractive blue-lit bar, and fans (noisy but needed to manage the heat and the flies; not their fault). Vocal music in Spanish was quiet and chill. My waitress Rebecca knew the menu completely, and checked on me frequently. She even noticed as I was battling the flies and hurried over to finish boxing my leftovers ahead of schedule. Also the maître d came by as I was finishing up to inquire. I truthfully answered that it was one one of the best meals I've had in some time.

It could just be mediocre pub food, but the food here is very, very good. I don't know why, but when I'm in the south, I get the hankering for a deviled egg. So we started with the deviled eggs (Los Huevos El Diablo), which, despite the name, were not super spicy. They had just the right amount of spice. One thing to know about me is: If I see a patty melt on the menu, I will order that. So I got the Merle's Melt, which is a burger patty with cheddar and Monterey jack cheese, plus bacon and special sauce on buttered toast. It was sublimely tasty! It comes with house-made chips, which were good. They also offer tacos on the menu. One of my children got one steak taco and one chicken taco. The tacos are topped with tomato, lettuce and cojita cheese. I was told that these were very good! My kid eats like a bird, but ate one and a half tacos, so that must say something, right? The Lip Smack'n Mac & Cheese was also ordered, as well as the fried chicken, because the menu says that the fried chicken is award-winning, so how could we not? The fried chicken was super crispy and tasty, and the mac and cheese was creamy and made with large shells, which is the best kind of pasta to use for mac and cheese (in my opinion). The service was great, the lighting was great, and we were seated quickly, even though they seemed busy. It was a good place to have a family dinner in Louisville.
