“Wow, what a great place! My wife and I visited Louisville, and on the recommendation of a local, popped into Mayan Cafe and were completely impressed! The hostess and waitress were extremely nice and even though we came toward the end of the night were very welcoming and never hurried us along. The margarita with mezcal I ordered was perfect, and the dark, romantic room was fun and had a good, buzzy energy. We ordered the sikil pak and both agreed it was the best we've had - great depth of flavor and silky texture, it is a must-try! The scallop ceviche was also great - the scallops were marinated to the perfect texture, the flavors were fresh and bright, and the serving size was generous. My wife ordered the tuna tacos and loved them, raved about them. I ordered the duck with black mole and it was really great - succulent dark duck, confited and served shredded, tasted almost like deeply roasted, juicy pot roast - awesome flavor, but the mole was the star - great compliment to the duck. We split the cochinita pibil and both loved it - the achiote sauce was beautiful to look at and tasted earthy and complex, and the fried plaintains it was served with were nicely tourneed - a cool little touch that added to the fancy vibes of the meal. Even though it is certainly gourmet-level and very interesting food and a great way to experience a different kind of "Mexican" cuisine, and the dishes are crafted with love and look great on the plate, the prices were very fair and not too expensive. We loved Louisville, plan to visit more often, and will definitely be back to Mayan Cafe (to hopefully try the rabbit next time!). Highly recommended.“

“I was here this evening for dinner with friends. We had a great meal, great drinks, and our server was friendly and attentive. The only problem was the dessert which I ordered; sopapillas. These are traditional New Mexican soft, fried, puffed dough pockets, drizzled with honey or covered in cinnamon and sugar. Think small soft donuts. Well, what I got was a hard, flat, fried tortilla, cut into quarters, and covered in cinnamon and sugar. That is NOT any kind of a sopapilla I have ever had at any Mexican restaurant before. It was awful. When I told the server my thoughts on what was served, she argued with me that this was indeed sopapillas. Right. My advise; do not order this usually delightful dessert at Tres Amigos, because you'll get something other than true sopapillas!“

“My first time going. It was the last day of Louisville Taco Week. I got each of the three tacos they were offering. The Basic Betty Smash Taco, The Jalapeño Popper Smash Taco and The Love Child Smash Taco. There is too much to list for each taco, just know that they all have a different type of smash burger in it. Each one had it's own different flavor, I took one bite of each and each bite was better than the last. I'm not sure if these are on the regular menu, but if not they should be. When I got there my cousin was eating a carne asada eggs roll, I ordered one but didn't try it just yet, but she said it was fire. I want to return and see what else on the menu I'm going to enjoy. It will be very soon.I apologize for the the photo, I know it doesn't look good, this was after I took a bite of each taco.“

“I think the food here was great!! And the service was excellent!! It is very affordable and my family loves it. And the waiter that we had was very polite and was on top of everything that we needed. The restaurant is nice on the inside and has a lot of seating and a lot of room for everybody to sit. They serve chips and salsa and bean dip and guacamole dip even chorizo dip for the whole table and you don't have to pay for that. But if you're not careful you will fill up on the chips and dips first before I even getting your food. The only thing I really didn't care for was that when you say you want a Coke for your drink they give you a glass with ice in it and a canned Coke which that's not a problem per se however I would much rather in prefer the soda dispenser myself. But all in all this restaurant was a really good place to eat.“

“My wife and I believe that it may be one of the best kept secrets in Louisville. A person almost wouldn't notice it, as they drive down Frankfort Ave. But, this little gem of a food truck serves some of the finest Mexican cuisine you have ever tasted.“

“This is the best authentic Hispanic food. I have never had bad service or bad food. The birria tacos are the best along with the salsa and chips. I have had different things off their menu and have enjoyed all of it. The restaurant is a cute little place to eat with incredible decor. Love this place and it is well worth the money spend here.“

“Sooo good. This was our first visit and rarely do I eat out and immediately want to leave a review. I had the vegetarian fajitas nachos and it was perfect. I usually want sour cream but this was perfect without it. The veggies, beans and cheese were evenly distributed, fresh snd flavorful. My husband ordered the stuffed poblano peppers with chicken, rice and refried black beans. He was impressed as well and the black beans may be the best refried beans I've ever had. We will definitely be back. Give this place a try- it is fantastic!“

“A friend wanted to try this place out because she'd heard how good it is, so we went today for lunch. Absolutely fantastic. Authentic flavors, with offerings that you won't find in the regular chain spots. The salsa was served warm with the (also still warm) chips, and the flavor was like nothing I've experienced elsewhere. There was not a crumb left on anyone's plate when we finished. Prices were great. Staff is incredible, friendly, and efficient... which we saw first hand since the place filled UP for lunch. I am thankful we live close by because I'll be bringing my family in very soon.“

“Stayed at the Moxy and decided to try the tacos here. I actually ordered the chicken nachos. They were very good. I ordered a side of the cilantro lime rice and shockingly it has no flavor to it at all. However the nachos were very flavorful. Staff was super friendly and the food came out fast! It was a great experience and will eat again when I return to town.“

“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Louisville. They are so nice and kind. The food just tastes higher quality than other places, particularly their beans. Their salsa also tastes fresher than most. The staff remember you and know what you are ordering even if it’s been awhile since you’ve been there. They ask about your family and seem to enjoy being part of the community. Lovely people, lovely place, lovely food.“

“Free chips, salsa and queso in the bar mon thru fri from 4 pm to 7 pm. Buy a beverage and chow down. Adults only in bar though. Chips & tortillas are the best and fresh. Creamy jalapeño sauce, which you may have to ask for and its complimentary, is addicting. Real fountain coke here. Tortilla soup has chunks of tough breast meat. Couldn't chew the tough meat. Appetizer plate under appetizers is a good variety and feeds two. I didn't like the Green chilis on the quesadillas or the red sauce over the flautas. So they don't put it on at my request. The Green chili rice is much better than the standard Mexican rice. Beware of the sauces you are not familiar with as they pour them over your entree as stated on the menu. Hit and miss with their sauces for my taste. Pleasant atmosphere & good friendly service.update: appetizer for like $11.99 feeds two people. consistent service. nice atmosphere. a pleasant place to dine. Saturday evening was jammed packed in wait area/hostess area. patrons with families were waiting for regular tables. Adults can slip by and dine in the bar. sports on the televisions inside the bar area.update: things have changed since my visit before COVID. Went on a busy evening. Have to wait for seating regardless where you want to sit. That includes the bar area. Opted for Tex Mex Enchiladas, which were excellent. Server was pleasant and on-spot in casual clean atmosphere.“

“Can’t believe I’ve been looking over this place. It’s very rare that I run across a Mexican food truck that will accept card so it’s a huge plus that this food truck does. Not only were the people who work at this food truck were super friendly but the portions that I got for my tacos were more than fair. After 2 tacos I was full for the rest of the night so even if the menu had increased by 50 cents the satisfaction that I got after the meal was undoubtedly worth it. 10/10“

“Go here. You have to go here. The food is delicious and fresh. It's always top-notch. He's concerned with making sure the customer is satisfied, so when he questioned whether the bread was right, he went to a bakery and had them make bread specifically for his sandwiches. I drive from Fern Creek to get here. It is worth the drive. The tacos are delicious. The wet burritos are awesome. There is nothing that I have had at this food truck that has ever disappointed me. I love it and I adore him. The wet burritos are awesome. There is nothing that I have had at this food truck that has ever disappointed me. I love it and I adore him.“

“Was too early for check-in so stopped by here for a bite. The reviews seemed like the tacos were pricy (they are) but worth it (they're good if you have extra money which I know not everyone does). The tacos are slightly bigger, well-filled, but also cost $5-7 so you're looking at $11-15 for 2 tacos for more of a light lunch size. Quality-wise, the tacos were reallly good. I'd advise not to get the chicken fajita because it's good but not worth the premium you're paying. I also got the Vagabond which is marinated grilled steak, bacon, chimichurri and pico de gallo - the first half of this was super good. Great steak flavor complimented with Latino flavors. Though the second half was a lot saltier for some reason - but still good. Overall, the tacos here are good but pricy. There's a lot of variety also to choose from which is a plus when you're in a group (so there's something for everyone).“

“Had dinner here on a Friday and it was amazing. The service was ok, the server wasn’t as attentive as I am used to. The food was amazing, ordered and it was freshly made and to the table in less than seven minutes. The margaritas were delicious as well. The food was sooooo good we came back days later and food was just as great! I would definitely recommend to anyone, especially families. The carnitas chimichanga was delicious and rice and beans were perfect.“
