Discover a vibrant Mexican and Yucatecan haven where friendly service meets a lively atmosphere, serving standout tacos and hearty breakfast burritos all day.
"First cousin to Cantina Los Mayas’ haven for Mexican wine and panuchos, this Richmond District restaurant offers well-made tamales. Tamales here are (at least so far this season) not available to be ordered en masse. Instead, the $19.75 entree includes two tamales, rice, beans, and plenty of cotija cheese and crema." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
"This counter-service Mexican restaurant in the Richmond specializes in food from the Yucatan, and what they serve is what you want after coming home and realizing that no cooking is happening tonight (you have an empty fridge anyway). On the menu are gigantic burritos, tacos with homemade tortillas, and tender cochinita pibil and poc choc, which you should get on a panucho—a fried, bean-filled tortilla topped with meat, cabbage, and pickled red onion.

"We love the casual sister to Cantina Los Mayas anytime of year, but Restaurant Week really ups the ante. This time they’re offering a $15 lunch with a burrito, burrito bowl, two panuchos, or two sopes, plus a (non-alcoholic) drink. For dinner, expect a choice of nachos or a combo plate with protein (like cochinta pibil, pollo motuleño, or carne asada) rice, beans, and tortillas, plus a churro and a non-alcoholic drink, all for $30.

"Panuchos loaded with al pastor, fried plantains, and burritos the size of a newborn baby are on deck at this Yucatecan spot in the Richmond. The counter-service taqueria serves hearty plates of chicken mole, poc chuc, and cochinita pibil that will keep you full well into the night—no sharing required. Pitches of margaritas are just another reason to get here. " - julia chen 1
"The moment you step inside Taqueria Los Mayas, it’s clear you’re about to have a memorable experience. This counter-service spot specializes in food from the Yucatán, and the menu here is, simply put, lengthy and exciting—they do everything from gigantic, made-to-order empanadas to seafood dishes to burritos and tacos with homemade tortillas. One thing that makes this spot so special is you can’t go wrong with whatever you order. The other reason is their tender cochinita pibil and poc choc, which you should get on the tostada-like panucho—a fried, bean-filled tortilla topped with meat, cabbage, and pickled red onion." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
