Mayan Cafe

So delicious, I went twice in one week! The ahi tuna ceviche has to be my favorite dish and both visits it tasted consistently fabulous. We also tried the papadzules which we loved! Refreshing cocktails and flavor packed desserts. The back patio is perfect for summertime. Fantastic service both visits and will be back soon!

Lovely restaurant that offers a high-end experience with unique cuisine in a casual setting. I came in late in the evening but they seated me without issue. My pour of tempranillo was extremely generous (they don't pour wine like that in California!) and delicious. I had the rabbit main course, which was beautifully oven roasted. I adored the caramelized plantains that accompanied it. My only criticism would be the plating; the elements of the dish were presented together in a bowl, and the sauces and oils mixed together but didn't necessarily work when combined. The manager and waitstaff were very kind and attentive. I loved my experience and I hope you'll check it out.

The food was excellent but the service wasn't the greatest. The waitress frequently forgot about us and we'd have to ask her to come back and take our order. It was a birthday dinner so we hoped to order dessert but they never came back to ask if we wanted anything else. We had to stop someone else to ask for our check.

Loved it all. Food is excellent ( and certainly plentiful) which applies to everything I've ordered there, which is most of the menu.

4.5 ⭐ We had the ceviche and tortas. Good balance on all dishes and plated well. If im ever back in Kentucky...ill come back to try some other dishes.

We had a wonderful dinner at Mayan Cafe last Saturday night. There had been a festival on the street that day and all of the restaurants were full. We were visiting from out of town - playing at a bridge tournament at the Galt House - and we weren't sure when we would be done, so we didn't make reservations anywhere. We ended up at the Mayan Cafe after being turned away from several other restaurants. It was 8 PM and their dining room was full, but they made an effort to accommodate us. We were a party of 3 and they found a small table to seat us at. We were so happy to have a table. Everyone on the staff who served or assisted us was just wonderful. And the food was excellent! We started with an appetizer of chips and a salsa made with pumpkin seeds and tomatoes - the salsa was so flavorful - yum! We also shared a plate of scallop ceviche which was also very delicious. For entrees, we had the duck, the rabbit, and the roasted cauliflower - all three entrees were really delicious. The sauces and flavors are very different than other restaurants that I have been to - I wish I was a local so I could return and try more of the items on the menu. We shared a lavender flan for dessert and that was also really delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, but make a reservation if you can:)

What a delightful dining experience in Louisville! Every dish was perfection (I'm still dreaming about this meal!), so don't hesitate to make a reservation.

Peace! Came here 10 years ago to celebrate our anniversary. Ten years later visited this same spot again and really enjoyed our time. Peace to the staff. Well worth it. *also why Mayan and not Maya cafe? We are still alive* (the chef will understand this) ☝️
