Mayahuel

Best nice Mexican restaurant in Sacramento. I used to like that other Mexican one that got Michelin guide recommended but it got too popular and the food now lacks taste but Mayahuel has amazing dishes to offer! The spicy pistachio chicken mole is amazing but the adobe plate is probably my favorite! They offer flour or corn tortillas but it would be a step up if they made them on site since it’s actually super easy to make tortillas but maybe the ingredients are too expensive compared to just buying already made tortillas. The mango y chile drink is yummy I do miss it being in a taller cup looking at the reviews of others, they did get a tall cup so idk why I was jipped here. I have only been going before dinner rush lately but I do recall that dinner times the atmosphere was so good, I cannot speak for the last couple years as I have not gone that late. OMG did I mention the Mazapan ice cream and churro ice cream for dessert, 10/10!! My favorite restaurant that survived the pandemic and doesn’t need state workers to make it this far although if I have to support a company in this area I would choose Mayahuel only! I did consider 4 stars due to service since sometimes it is super loud in this restaurant that my ears hurt and I have to yell to be heard even when it is nearly empty inside in the middle of the day. Chips and salsa are extra, gone are the days of free chips and salsa, would not recommend paying for them since they are not special whatsoever and the salsa is bland if you are a true salsa lover but looking at the cliente, it makes sense. Also not all servers are great but 4/5 usually are. So for the most part they are great!

Amaaaazing food, so many traditional options, some of the best I’ve had! The owner was very kind to our group. The service was also great.

We found this place walking around downtown when we stayed at the Sheraton. I have lived in California and Arizona most of my 65 years and I thought this food was some of my favorite ever. We had chicken tingas and they were worth making a trip to Sacramento all on their own. We also had shredded beef tacos along with chips and salsa. Every bite was a treat and they had a perfect salsa with mild heat and plenty of flavor. Those tingas though… beautiful little meaty bites of shredded chicken on a mini taco shell… like the best little tostada you have ever had…. Yum!

It really did go downhill, as others have stated before. We come here every year after our ski trip since 2019. The first time was delicious, which is why we decided to keep coming back. Each year, it was progressively..meh.. this year is our last as all the dishes we ordered were subpar. The carnitas was dry, the chicken in the enchiladas was dry, and the rice in my seafood plate was hard (dry). Additionally, the dish indicated crab, but what was in it is actually imitation crab. Sadly, we will not be returning for our annual trip.

Nice restaurant with ample interior and exterior seating available. Looks to have a very large tequila selection. I ordered the "Exhibiting Mexico", which comes with white meat chicken by default (yay!). The three sauces each had a unique flavor and the food was overall good. My only issue is that the center was a little cooler on each of them, especially the one in the middle. I get the same issue with pre-packaged enchiladas from the store, which leads me to doubt that the food was freshly prepared or just reheated and some sauce was slapped on it. For $23, this was not worth the price paid. On an odd note, they charge for chips and salsa, which is free at every Mexican restaurant (and every quasi one) I've ever been to. It was a couple of bucks (maybe $5) to purchase them, but it was not what I was expecting and not at the commonly accepted practice for these types of restaurants.

Dining room is loud, very loud. Not the best atmosphere but acceptable. Our server was Sarita V. Service was excellent. They brought cake and sang happy birthday to one of our party. Tacos de camaron al chipotle were rated excellent. Tacos poblanos de arrachera were really good. Everyone (7 of us) loved their food. Margaritas, good selection and well made. Looking at the menu I personally would not have picked this restaurant but it was a very pleasant surprise. Very happy we tried it.

The food here is very good, and everything is fresh. The cocktails are well-made and refreshing. There's abundant seating both inside and outside, and two bar seating areas they probably fill during dinnertime. I've been twice and I'd go back! Service is decent, although a little slow the second time, although once the food order was placed it came out pretty quickly.

I ordered the Pescado Oaxaqueno. The tilapia was slightly fishy, but the flavor of the food was really good. I was a bit disappointed that my first two choices on their menu were not available, but I was happy with the dish I got. I also enjoyed the modern Mexican themed atmosphere. Side note: the bathroom is nice and clean.

Yes. Food was so good. We had the shrimp tacos and the Adobo tacos and both were impressive. We also had leftovers and the next day were so good ( partner had the shrimp cold ) The chops and salsa were pretty perfect in the way they were made- crispy and not too oily. The salsa had a tolerable heat but will slow you down if you eat it too fast and get a little too hot. Yes perfect. Our server was Ernesto. Didn't catch the supper staff names but they were on a mission - it was very clean inside and felt welcoming. Omg - we were cracking up so hard - Ernesto stoped up each time we attempted to order anything on Spanish - and it was probably just for his own sake- maybe a reflex- it wasn't rude it was just - " oh yes I understand- got you." but to us it was comedy- pure on point comedic timing and we took no offense as non Spanish speaking people. Thank you Ernesto - host and bidders. Everyone looked great and I appreciate the real rose decor on table. We're going to come back with our friends and family.

Came here for lunch since they are part of the Sac Battle of the Taco Super cute inside! Chips & Salsa 3/5 didn't love the chips but that's my personal preference. Guac 4.5/5 good flavor, small portion Dobladitos de poblano 5/5 delicious cheesy poblano goodness and good portions Tacos arracherra de res 3.5/5 flavor was okay, meat a little dry Tacos de adobados 4.5/5 great flavor, cheese involved Service was good, water and drinks stayed filled. Had a nice lunch but would not necessarily go out of my way to return based on this meal.

We sat outside during the warm summer night. The drinks were really strong. I ordered the Oaxacan old fashioned. I didn't really care for the Camarones as I didn't enjoy the tequila infused sauce. It was edible, but not the best. I would visit again for their drinks and perhaps other menu items in the future.

This experience was far better than the first visit. It was around 3pm Thursday so easy seating. Ordered chips, salsa and guac- it's not complimentary and that's fine. I enjoyed the taste of the guac. Not too chunky and not all the was smashed. Good flavor! 5/5 Steak tacos- they were good i was not interested in the onions and peppers in it 4/5 Green Enchiladas - i liked how simple these were and they weren't over powered with too many seasonings. The verde sauce is what brings the flavor! I wasn't fan of the rice tasted more like a premade bag to boil rice 4/5 Mexican mule - didn't taste but judging how fast it disappeared 5/5 Mayahuel Fresca-5/5. Refreshing, strong perfect amount of sweetness. Service- 5/5- hostess was welcoming and quick also had a smile! The server was also welcoming, very attentive and did not rush us.

Amazing food, awesome drinks and cool decor. My visits here are always the same, good service and chill vibes. Some of the best margaritas in the city, highly recommended. Some of my favorites are pictured here. For appetizers, the chips with salsa are zesty but you can add the fresh made guacamole. The shrimp ceviche is very good but a hefty portion so should be shared. If ordering meals, the tacos are tasty, the Cameroons are my go to, served on the blue tortilla shell. Looking for a spot for Mexican cruise, this is the place.

The location is great. It's in the heart of downtown near the IMAX theater and not too far from the capitol and cathedral. There is mainly street parking nearby but there are two large parking structures within walking distance. The service was great. Our server came by multiple times to ensure our meal was up to our satisfaction. We came in a larger party and they were still able to get our food out quickly, I'd say in around 15 minutes. They have an expansive liquor list, especially tequilas (as given by its name). The food was delicious. I was a big fan of the guacamole and chips. In particular, the tacos were good. More similar to "white people" tacos but still had a bit of an authentic street taco taste. The prices were a bit pricey. I'd say to expect to walk out of here for around $45 for a meal for two making this a ($$$) for me, Bottom line/TLDR: solid Mexican food.

This place is amazing has tons of seating, staff is super friendly, nice decor and we're playing some good music. We also had a big party and the food came out all at once. For being a restaurant, prolly one of the biggest and best tequila selection. We went on a Friday and they had many options for people who do lent, so no meat. Many of my peers had gotten the chile rellano and loved it. I had gotten the Dolbaditas de Chile Poblano, def delicious and def filling, I would order that so many times so good. Also had gotten a PALOMA to drink, so freakin good and refreshing

We came with my coworkers for lunch to welcome our new team member and of course this place was amazing and delicious. I had the enchiladas de mole and the asi sabe Mexico mocktail.

The food here is top shelf, far beyond just the basic taqueria, very nice restaurant and full bar. The bar area could get a little load but was not distracting to us. The fish Tacos was excellent and the enchiladas was so much more tasty then the majority I've had in the past. Had a mango margarita that was very good and presented well. All our dishes were presented well in fact, gotta guacamole side and it was A FULL SIZE plate and full. Good stuff here

Great place near the convention center that's ALWAYS busy!!! We lucked out with a spot at the bar . Great chips and salsa. My skinny margarita was perfect- not sweet per my request. The grilled fish tacos were a large portion topped with spicy peppers (and II mean spicy) and caramelized onions. Very good! The traditional chile relleno was stuffed with cheese, dipped in batter, and fried topped with a nice chili sauce. I wish the cheese was a bit more gooey and less firm. The beans and rice were very good. I would love to come back and try their soups (too hot today) and the pozole salad!

One of my fave Mexican restaurants! This place is always a good time and they have excellent tequila-based cocktails time and time again! The service is always quick and friendly! I have added some photos from this time's visit with friends! Everyone enjoyed their food :)

Party of 7 for a Saturday night, reservations much in advance, seated in the COA Room near the back wall for amiga's Scorpio Season birthday festivities. Our server was Maria A, and she did an amazing job. Very busy night with other tables with bigger groups than us, at least in our seating area/room which wasn't even the main dining space. Started with a shared order of guacamole (salsa and chips complimentary), and additional baskets of fresh chips as needed when the main food orders got delayed/backed up. Drink orders came out promptly (both cocktails and nonalcoholic/virgin mocktails). The table got the Mayahuel Paloma, Skinny Margarita, Mango y Chile, Maya Margarita, Mexican Mule, Lalo Cantatrito, can of Long Drink seltzer, and Asi Sabe. After the drinks, the entrees didn't arrive until an hour later. For mains, we all got arrachera tacos, mole enchiladas, brochetas (chorizo y queso), carnitas atacheo x2, crema chile poblano soup, spicy pistachio mole. The grilled fish tacos they ran out of, as well as shrimp, so those were substituted with adobada I think. I attended the Paws, Pubs, and Grubs event last week where I got to try samples from Mayahuel's menu, and I decided to go for those specific items again. Mine was the half order (cup) of their signature poblano soup and the spicy pistachio mole con Pollo which came with plain rice and choice of tortillas. I liked the soup very much, and the pistachio mole (gf) was interesting, but I'm partial to the more traditional mole poblano with Mexican rice. No beans with this dish. The complimentary birthday cake slice was the mango mousse butter cake and it came with a sparkler, fun!

We found Mayahuel on the list of restaurants for the yearly "Dine Downtown" event. We had never been here and didn't hear much so we were open minded. Parking is tough- had to do the expensive garage and there is no validations from local restaurants. Jorge, our waiter, was pleasant. Hubby and I got different items so we can sample different items. Poblano soup was flavorful but consistency is super then. Corn soup was sweet, good consistency. Mixing the 2 soups probably would've been perfect. Rib Eye with mashed potatoes and roasted potatoes; rib eye was soft, cooked well, but the thinnest rib eye i've had at a restaurant. The roasted potatoes were not good at all. Salmon with mango sauce; salmon was okay, rice was average. and mango sauce was too sweet for a "mexican" inspired entree. The dessert was a tres leches cake and a mango cake...both tasted like they came from a cheap grocery bakery. No one in our group of 4 finished the dessert. Based on the dinner we had this evening, it's definitely a pass for us...

I was going to go to brasserie du monde for their dine downtown deal but they weren't seating till 9pm so I ended up at Mayahuel instead for their dine downtown deal. When we walked in the hostess said they weren't seating until 8pm. We decided to go to the bar seating. I didn't realize they were not offering the dine downtown menu at the bar but they had their regular menu available. My boyfriend ordered the flank steak Arrachera Méxicana Con Enchilada and his came with one enchilada, flank steak, rice and beans. I ordered the verde enchiladas. The food was good! We had 2 bar tenders serving us. They were very busy making drinks but service was really good through the night. The food probably took 40 min or longer to come out which seemed like a long time. What annoyed me was that around 6pm when we arrived we were told that we could only be seated at 8pm due to it was busy but yet there were multiple empty tables which I figured may be for reservations. Me and my boyfriend stayed there 2 hours and the tables were empty the whole time. The restaurant was busy though so maybe they didn't have any staff for all the tables to be full.

Went with a group of girl friends for dinner. All got the mole enchiladas and raved about how good they are-will get next time! I ordered the carnitas plate and it was amazing. Beans could be better but they were still good. The mangoneada mocktail was the best I've ever had!! Chips were fresh, warm, not too greasy. Guac was delicious! Def will come back.

Solid authentic Mexican food and drinks. I typically go here for the ABUNDANCE of amazing Mezcals. Highly recommend if you are a tequila/mezcal drinker.

2.5 stars actually. We made reservations and called twice to confirm times. Person i spoke to was okay with us splitting checks because we were on a work trip. They even checked with the manger before saying it was okay. When we showed up on time our table was not ready and our waiter gave us a hard time for splitting checks. I mentioned the name of the person I spoke to on phone and all our waiter said was she will have a talk with her. Eventually they did do split checks but the back and forth ruined it. I decided to try their prix fixe vegan course for about $60. The best thing from that course was the drink. The spicy lentil soup was too spicy and the blue corn mushroom enchilada is something ill never order again. I was brave trying that dish but its not for me. I dont recall our table getting a thank you for coming in or anything after we paid our bill. I would not recommend this place.

the food is yummy!! it came out SUPER quick. the tacos were ok, but my favorite is the cilantro rice, i can eat 1000 bowls of that. the vibes are nice and our server was friendly.

I tried this place out when I went to Sacramento. I tried going on a Wednesday night but it was a 1.5 hour wait so we left. We tried again Thursday night and there was no wait. We were seated right away. I only ordered an appetizer which was the tacos dorados de requeson. I love requeson so those were perfect. They come 5 small ones in a plate but definitely will fill you up. I also ordered a mezcal paloma, it was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Walking in the place is really pretty. Very artsy. The only thing I didn't understand was that the place said it was a museum but I didn't see anything that gave me museum vibes. Except they just have a lot of alcohol and murals and art showcased in the walls.

The food was excellent!!! Will definitely be back! Good drinks and fun ambience!!! Great place for drinks with friends!

If you plan to visit this restaurant solely for drinks, chips, and salsa, you'll most likely enjoy it. If you're hungry and looking for good eats, please look elsewhere. I brought my family to Tequila Museo Mayahuel to celebrate my mom's birthday. I've heard great things about the restaurant so I had high hopes. We had a reservation so we were seated upon arrival. The restaurant is beautiful. Without knowing any better, it seems like the perfect place for a date or birthday dinner. Shortly after being seated, we were given chips and salsa. The salsa was some of the best salsa I've had in my life. Delicious is an understatement. We scarfed down the chips and salsa like we were given a time limit to eat it. We were all amazed by how good the chips and salsa were - we were so excited for the rest of the food because if the chips and salsa were this good, the entrees would be mind-blowing... or so we thought. I knew I was in for disappointment when I asked my server if I should order a dish and he advised against it. As a table, we ordered the Vegan Mole Poblano, Pistachio Spicy Mole Sauce, and Tacos Adobobados De Res. I also ordered the Mango Y Chile frozen cocktail. The food came out in about 15 minutes. We all took our first bite and looked at each other with sadness and shattered hope. None of us liked our food. Our server was cool so we didn't want to complain, but none of us ate more than 1/3 of our respective plates. I don't have one good thing to say about any of the dishes on the table. Que triste. When our server came by to pick up our plates, he said, "You didn't like it huh?" He already knew we'd be in for disappointment. On a positive note, the Mango Y Chile frozen cocktail was amazing. 10/10!!! Even though I strongly disliked the food, I would return for the Mango Y Chile. +1 star for that beautiful drink. Sacramento has such good food. Skip this place unless you have a free food voucher, even then you should be wary.

WHY WE WENT HERE: - brunch THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on the corner of K St and 12th St - street parking and parking garage parking within walking distance - can't miss the "LOVE" at the corner of the enclosed patio seating THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - rustic vibes - intimate lighting - bar and standalone tables and chairs seating - semi private room(s) THE (LUNCH & DINNER) MENU: - starters - small plates - salads - soups & stews - dishes that define Mexico - coastal dishes - tacos, tostadas y enchiladas - dulce Mexico THE (DRINKS) MENU: - Mayahuel specialties - non-alcoholic - wine - beer WHAT WE ORDERED: - Enchilada Verdes - Exhibiting Mexico THE TASTE: - we both enjoyed our enchiladas; chicken wasn't dry, but was definitely a bit plain; the sauce(s) we had over the enchiladas gave it all the flavor CUSTOMER SERVICE: - fine dining-esque customer service was nice

This is always the first stop as we arrive to Sacramento. The drinks are strong and spot on. The food is also delicious. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service is always on point and excellent. The ambiance is great overall. It can get very busy in the evening. While sitting at the bar, the bartender gave us excellent recommendations of places to see if we had time while in the city.

We were out for a conference and looking for a quick lunch somewhere close by and this place popped up my Yelp! Ambiance was nice, we sat outside on their patio and it was perfect weather. Service was quick, we were sited right away and once we were ready order was placed in food came out in reasonable amount of time. Chicken Tinga was amazing. Full of flavors and they nailed it. Highly recommend it. Dobladitas de chilli poblano was second best dish we ordered. It was very well balanced and they tasted amazing. Tacos arrachera was really good. The meat was great. Other dish I recommend. Cheviche was ok. Not out favorite. Over all it was great experience, I would recommend this place.

We received a warm welcome and good service. We were looking forward to trying fish tacos. After enjoying crispy tortilla chips and salsa our tacos were presented. Although nicely presented, they were so spicy I could not eat them. When I asked the first server if I may have missed this information on the menu, he said maybe next time we shd request the sauce on the side. Ok, yes probably so, but not helpful at the moment. The 2nd server we asked this question of simply apologized. I then asked to speak to the manager. Within a moment the chef came to our table to inquire of the problem. We shared how much we were looking forward to the tacos and that they were too spicy to eat. He was so very gracious. We were treated wonderfully with an apology and asked if he could remake them for us without the sauce. Although we said one taco would be wonderful and so appreciated, he brought us the remade taco, beautifully presented, with enough fish for all 3 tacos. It was very tasty and enjoyable. That was the response we should have received with our first inquiry. Thank you kindly Chef Edwardo. You made my night. And we will return.

My wife and I visited here for our anniversary lunch, having made a reservation in advance. We later discovered that it's an "elevated" Mexican restaurant, but looking back, an authentic street Mexican cantina might have been a better choice for us. We started with chips, salsa, and guacamole as our appetizer. I ordered the Mexican Mule, which I enjoyed, and chose the Arrachera Méxicana con enchilada for my main course. My wife went with the Mayan Margarita and three mini chicken tinga crispy tostadas with a side of Mexican rice. While the drinks were decent, the food didn't quite meet our expectations. It wasn't bad, but given the hype surrounding this place, we were expecting something more. Instead, the dishes were just okay, nothing that really stood out or made a lasting impression. The ambiance was visually appealing, with vibrant colors and design elements inspired by Mexican culture. The setting was intimate, though a bit on the crowded side. The service was good, but nothing particularly memorable. In the end, the experience felt like an ordinary meal out, rather than a celebration of our special day.

If you know, you know! Just in case you don't, let me explain...3rd stop on food tour and by far my favorite!! We were served their signature soup and it was amazing. We also had chips and salsa which tasted fresh and enjoyable. Also served was a mock cocktail called Asi Sabe Mexico served with a watermelon garnish. The service was commendable. The restaurant was gorgeous and cozy.

I'm very disappointed with our experience at Tequila Museo Mayahuel given it was just me and my friend who spent nearly $100 for not so great food. The highlight of our lunch was our drinks and chips with salsa and guacamole. WOW... that should say a lot. On the other hand, our small plates and main entree were lacking so much flavor and barely tasted like it was seasoned/marinated. The drinks we got were Mango Y Chile (on the rocks) & La Flor. I'm not a huge tequila fan but this drink is allowing me to have a change of heart. Chamoy, you can never go wrong with and the agave gave it a hint of sweetness. My friend enjoyed the La Flor and the taste of hibiscus along with a slight spice from the jalapeño were different but good different! Chips were salted and thick providing a great crunch when using to dip into the salsa + Guac. By the way, Guac was seasoned well! Loved it!!! For our meal we ordered Brochetas de Chorizo Y Queso (small plate) and Carne de Puerco en Salsa Verde (entree). Coming out to our table they looked delicious! After a few minutes of us tasting everything it was unfortunately subpar. The chorizo had some tough parts (unappetizing to me) which I had to spit out. This made my dining experience unpleasant and wished the cheese could've been more present. Seemed almost nonexistent. The pork for the entree was very tender, however, didn't taste like much. Salt would've gone a long way here! Rice just seemed like white rice not necessarily Spanish rice. My friend said it reminded her of minute rice. :( Lastly, we ended our meal with a dessert. We've both had flan before so we opted for Imposible. Man, this dessert was a disgrace. The flan itself was very gelatinous and broke down in my mouth like extra firm tofu. It even looked like tofu!!! Chocolate cake near the bottom half I couldn't even get past and I like chocolate. It tasted too firm and gummy. Sadly, this is not a place I'd recommend nor come back to. I hope it was an off day for the restaurant and others have a better experience than we did. I still can't get over how much we spent on this food when I can get stuff for half the price at a mom and pop restaurant.

Excellent traditional Mexican flavors. Great spot for business lunch especially if you have business happening at the convention center nearby. Ambiance: cozy, filled will bright, colorful, Mexican art Attire: casual +, business Crowd: mixture of business and friends Age: all Food 8/10 Service: 10/10 (v fast!) The spot is an explosion of the senses from all the amazing decor to the bright flavorful food. Check out the spot in Sacramento. Our server was so friendly and attentive. He had our drinks within seconds and our food came out faster than we could've imagined. Usually, this means that the food is premade and not very good. It's likely this food was premade, but also still delicious. I had the chicken mole platter. I love Mole and this did not disappoint. My business colleague enjoyed his meal as well. He did ask if they made the tortillas in house which unfortunately they do not, but I can see with the amount of tables in the space that they do a lot of volume so that is likely why they use premade. Great spot for a quick lunch .

Tequila Museo Mayahuel is perfectly located next to the Esquire IMAX. It's my go to restaurant whenever I have a movie night. They have a great selection of tequilas that you can sample. We did a flight of 3 and they were all very tasty. I ordered the carne arrachera with enchilad plate and it was perfection. The plate I usually order is the tacos de carne asada con rajas. The delicious rajas elevates that bite for me, and it's not common in other Mexican restaurants I've tried in the area. Tequila cocktails are delicious as well. Service was excellent. Ambiance was perfect for a date night or a group gathering. Low lights and music was not loud at all.

Greeted upon entry and was sat when the table for 6 was ready. Sarita was nice and helpful. I got the mango y chili frozen margarita. OMG OMG IT WAS GREAT! We got guacamole and chips...even better. I had the pork with green sauce. The meat was tender, the sauce was flavorful. I had to make myself stop eating.

Been there several times and decided to go there before an event. It was busy, that has never been an issue. But this time....we had the worst service! We ordered several drinks with out food. Our food arrived ( the food is just ok this time and cold), still didn't get our drinks. When I finally was able to track down the server to ask about, he then brought the wrong drinks. We didn't see our server at all after that to let him know. We had to track him down again for the check. Super disappointed and will try other places from now on.

It really pains me to write this review bc the food is good here but the service from the hostess and servers iand now the manager is really unprofessional. I called in to place an order I asked what all came on the plate I ordered. She said " rice charro beans steak and 1 enchilada." I said "ok I would like refried beans" and she said "ok 1 arrachera plate and side of beans" I said "no not a side of beans I don't want extra" (I had gastric sleeve surgery I eat 2 ounces of food or less at a time) so I did not want extra because most of the time it goes to waste. So she said ok "just the plate w refried beans" I said "yes". So my order was TOGO. And I get there I ask can I still buy a drink at the bar bc I seen over 20 people still dining. The lady that took my order says "yes" and that my order was ready I said "ok" I walk to the bar she like chasing after me like "you gotta pay for your food" and I said "ok can i pay for my drink and food together?" And she's like "NO" I was like"ok" she brings back the bill and it says side or beans not substitution but side of beans and I said "I didn't want a side I just want what comes with it" her response was " ITS ONLY A DOLLAR" as I'm giving her a 5$ tip right. She takes it and walks away. But that didn't sit right with me I ordered my drink from the lovely bar tender which I will say the bar tenders are always pleasant. So I ask to speak to a manager. It wasn't about the money it was her response that I had a problem with. And this is the 2nd time I experience disrespect like this. Once it was over because all I wanted a taco and he was charging me the same n I said that's fine I just don't want that much food to go to waste. Again bc I don't eat much. So I talk to the manager and instead of him being genuine he took in what I said and went to the kitchen and I watched him repeat what I said to the lady in the kitchen and making a joke of it. Yall a bunch of unprofessional and that's why your an employee and not the boss. Your ways of thinking are so small to grasp the bigger picture bc who df fuck is this minimum wage paid ass bitch talking to.??? Yall out your rabbit ass minds if u think im coming back if u had any respect u could of wait til i left but no I watched you the whole time be unprofessional pieces of shits and honestly don't even trust to eat my food your manager looked like a creep he probably did something shady to my food. You all lost a real client I been here over 10 times despite the horrible service and attitude. The food is good but service is a fucken joke here.

Food was great. Service was great Inside the restaurant ambiance is great. All great till the end. I really hate when there is a hidden fee, nothing on the menu that says anything about 3.5% kitchen retention that I was not aware of. Then on the toast pay machine, it starts from 30%,25% and 20%. And it's top of the 3.5% tip plus the tax. Something I was not aware of and playing this kind of game won't last long. Everyone should call credit card company and file a dispute for unknown, not agreed charges. It's a Scam to me

Always consistently on point!! Service, Ambiance & Food are always excellent. If you need to show off one of Sac's premier dining experiences, Tequila Museo Mayahuel won't disappoint. Try the new Enelalma Tequila, one of the best Tequila's on the market.

The ambiance of this restaurant was exceptionally appealing. The decor was tastefully done. On a lovely day, the outdoor seating area was ideal. Every dish was outstanding. Service was efficient. Unfortunately, parking was hard to come by on a mid-week afternoon. All the garages were full. I ended up parking quite a few blocks away. I'd have to say my favorite was the salad. So good!

Near the Crest theater, we found a perfect dinner spot before the "Benise" show! The ambiance was great, nice decor of their tequila bar & restaurant. We sat at the bar, super busy that night, but seated quickly.. food was good, service was busy, ambiance great, taquitos were great

Happy hour eats at @mayahuelsac! We enjoyed the vegan papa potato tacos, watermelon margaritas and vegan chocolate cake. All very good! Great place and ambience for happy hour and good service as well! instagram: jax.vegan.eats

Highly recommend this spot for Happy Hour for folks that work Downtown. The food is unique, flavorful and delicious. We order the Bocaditos de Mexico, which is a variety plate of six individual bites of their unique dishes. I got to try a little of everything! It's also a perfect dish for an indecisive individual, lol. We also order their Tacos de Requesón. You get four tacos that are covered in pico de gallo, lettuce, and cotija. I've never had requesón but if you like ricotta cheese then you'll love it too. It's super creamy. I also really loved their poblano chile dishes. The Rajas Pablano was so good. Definitely would order a bigger plate of it. It's super clean inside and our waiter was attentive. Lastly, the Asi Sabe Margarita was refreshing, perfect for a soon to be Sacramento hot day. Just as the sign out front says - you'll LOVE it.

My wife bought me a gift card for Mayahuel about a year ago. The next time we visited Mayahuel we tried to use the gift card. We had never received a physical card, so we showed the waiter the only evidence that Mayahuel delivered, which was a hardcopy of an email receipt. The waiter seemed perplexed and said that he could not honor the gift card because there was no way in Mayahuel's system to verify gift cards. In other words, the only proof that we did or did not have a valid gift card was the email receipt that we were showing to the waiter. We asked to speak with the manager, and after a long conversation, the manager agreed to honor the gift 'card', and wrote the remaining balance on the email hardcopy and, at our insistence, signed the hardcopy with his signature. Today, we took the manager-signed 'gift card' back to Mayahuel to have another dinner. Deja vu! The waiter, one we had never seen before, looked at the manager-signed document and refused to honor it. We asked to speak with the manager, and the waiter informed us that there was no manager in duty. We asked the waiter to call the manager who has signed the document, and the waiter refused to do so. I am going to give Mayahuel the benefit of the doubt and attribute these two events to incompetency rather than dishonesty. Regardless, Mayahuel may have successfully extracted from us a couple of hundred dollars that we will never get back, but they have lost two long-time customers and gotten themselves a well-earned themselves a 1-star review.

Food was excellent. The tacos were savory and overflowing with beef. The refried beans were creamy and flavorful. The rice was excellent as well. The service was spot on and our server was very attentive. The restaurant also has a large bar where they serve several different brands of tequilas. Very enjoyable place to come for lunch or dinner.

The food here was delicious, the service was awesome and it was such a great experience to eat lunch here. A must have while visiting Sacramento.

What a cool restaurant! Came here for dinner with a few friends and ordered the Exhibiting Mexico enchiladas and the Asi Sabe drink. I really enjoyed the enchiladas because if you're indecisive like me, this is your best bet to try out some different flavors. The drink was also really good, if you're into the watermelon and cucumber flavors. I recommend both! The service was also extremely fast. The food came out right away and it was easy to get a hold of our waiter. Easily would come back here and try out some more stuff.

I was seated , got a weak tea, served my dinner, and was never waited upon again. Was not offered refills, asked about my dinner, or offered a bill. Food average.

Came up to try out the Dine Downtown 2024 experience. A wonderful casual spot with friendly staff and efficient service. Food and drinks were visually pleasing and the flavors and taste matched. We enjoyed a great variety of selections from the menu and each one was a delight. We especially loved the house made chips and salsa paired with the guacamole. This is a must. Drinks were a delight with most packing just enough alcohol and little ice which made the purchase very satisfying. Portions were a bit smaller and geared towards a single person. The overall meal was satisfying. Check this wonderful place out and enjoy a wonderful meal and drink.

Good chips, loved my tacos. Place was packed but we still have great service. we have lunch but would come back for dinner

Every time I come here, I have an amazing experience. Great selection of mezcal and tequila. Angela is amazing if you ever get a chance to visit while she's working, she always has great recommendations .

Nice atmosphere, good very authentic and versatile menu. Friendly staff. 1-2 min walk from convention center.

Not sure if it was an off night but it's gone downhill. We went there for the dine downtown sac, in which restaurants offer 3 course menus for $45. We thought mayahuel would be a good deal since their menu had 4 courses. It took forever to even get any food. The server finally came to check on us about 40 minutes in and we told him we hadn't gotten anything. He came out with course 2, saying everything else would be out soon. Except I had ordered the vegan 4 course and he gave me a pork tostada. I pointed that out and he took it back and then he came back with a potato taco. I want to point out the menu listed tostadas and tacos plural, but we got one of each and they were tiny. Then the soups came out, and again, I was given a non vegan soup that I had to send back. They finally came back with the correct one. Entrees and desserts came out correctly but my husband's steak was over cooked. And then the cakes must be frozen because they came out hard and my husband's had a visible chunk of ice. My water was not refilled once the whole night either. Overall, slow and inattentive service, incorrect food coming out, and I think the $45 4 course meal was more expensive than it would've been to get things separately from the menu.
