I tried the popular baleada, which is a home-made flour tortilla filled with a layer of mashed red beans, queso fresco, eggs and with or without meat (I got it with carne asada). The flour tortilla was just as other described - soft, buttery smooth, almost melt in your mouth goodness. The carne asada was dry and hard so I could've gone without. I bet a braised beef like barbacoa would've been perfect for this item. It also came with salsa and I selected mild which gave it a nice bright flavor. I also ordered a chicken tamale (they also offer pork) and I was surprised to find a whole chicken wing (no skin) stuffed into the tamale! I broke into it using a fork and hit something hard which turned out to be the bones. But honestly, this was one of the best tamales I've tried in a long time. Flavorful, moist, and a nice sized portion. It came wrapped in what I think was banana leaf. The service was fast on a Wednesday night and there were a handful of friendly patrons seated nearby. You could tell that they were regulars. The space was intimate with around 10-15 tables seating about 4 people each. Maya's Cafe menu has a wide assortment of dishes to choose from: serving breakfast dishes like chilaquiles, lunch items such as burritos, or soups and full on dinner plates with rice, beans, and choice of protein. There's even more selection and the whole menu is in Spanish so I'll be sure to use Google Translate next time!

It's cool that this little enclave has fun entertainment options like a pool table, foosball, cornhole, and great music

It was aesthetically pleasing, with lots of decorations, and it even had a wall where you can sign which part of Honduras you're from, such a cute and thoughtful touch! We sat down, ordered, and ended up waiting an hour for our food. Pollo Con Tajadas ($24): This dish was beautifully plated and even came with a cute little flag . Despite how good it looked, the taste fell short. It lacked salt and overall seasoning. The plantains were soggy from the tomato sauce. I really wish they served it on the side instead. The yellow sauce that's traditionally added on top was too watery and also lacked flavor. The only highlight of this dish was the well cooked chicken. The drumsticks were juicy, but I wish they had more flavor and were fried a bit more. As expected, the breast pieces were dry. Overall, I'd rate this dish a 5.5/10. Baleadas with Egg ($6 each): The tortilla was cold and not as soft as it could have been. It had a decent amount of crema, cheese, and egg, and everything was evenly coated. I'd rate it a 7/10. Overall, considering the one hour wait time, I don't think it was worth it. From the dishes I tried, this place could really use more seasoning and better execution, especially for the price. While the ambiance inside gave authentic Hondura vibes and the cultural touches were thoughtful, the food simply didn't live up to expectations. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. Al llegar, no había estacionamiento, así que después de batallar como 15 minutos para encontrar lugar, finalmente entramos. El lugar es al aire libre, con grandes carpas que cubren a los clientes del sol. Era estéticamente bonito, con muchas decoraciones, y hasta tenía una pared donde puedes firmar de qué parte de Honduras eres, ¡un detalle muy lindo y considerado! Nos sentamos, ordenamos y terminamos esperando una hora por la comida. Pollo con tajadas ($24): Este platillo estaba muy bien presentado e incluso venía con una banderita . A pesar de lo bien que se veía, el sabor se quedó corto. Le faltaba sal y sazón en general. Los plátanos estaban aguados por la salsa de tomate; de verdad me gustaría que la sirvieran aparte. La salsa amarilla que tradicionalmente se le pone encima estaba muy líquida y también le faltaba sabor. Lo único destacable de este plato fue el pollo bien cocido. Las piernas estaban jugosas, pero me hubiera gustado que tuvieran más sabor y que estuvieran un poco más fritas. Como era de esperarse, las piezas de pechuga estaban secas. En general, le doy un 5.5/10. Baleadas con huevo ($6 cada una): La tortilla estaba fría y no tan suave como podría haber sido. Tenía una cantidad decente de crema, queso y huevo, y todo estaba bien distribuido. Le doy un 7/10. En general, considerando la espera de una hora, no creo que haya valido la pena. Por los platillos que probé, a este lugar le falta más sazón y una mejor ejecución, especialmente por el precio. Aunque el ambiente tenía vibes auténticos de Honduras y los detalles culturales fueron muy bonitos, la comida simplemente no cumplió con las expectativas. Desafortunadamente, no regresaría.

You Guava be Kidding Me…read more A bakery and juicery that has been serving up delicious Colombian specialties since 1999 in Colombia, before emigrating to the US and opening up shop here in Cambrian Park in 2014. Milohas (mil hojas) means a thousand layers in Spanish, and one taste of Milohas' pastries will make you understand why they picked that moniker. The Good: * Large shared parking lot * Friendly service * Covered outdoor dining * The crust of the empanadas was buttery, flaky, and delicious. All the fillings were good, but you have to try the Hawaiian filling! It was truly fantastic and had us wishing that's all we'd ordered. * Guava Finger has the same perfect crust and tasty guava jam--I could eat a dozen of these and come back for more. *oink oink* * Carissa really enjoyed their lentil soup. I didn't try it, so I can't comment. The Meh: * I kind of prefer the chunks of meat in Peruvian empanadas to the ground meat in Colombian ones, but that's just a personal preference. It was still delicious, so at the end of the day, it's all academic. The Ugly: * No indoor dining, and outdoor dining is limited to only a handful of seats. Conclusion: We've been on the hunt for the best empanadas in the South Bay, and we finally found them.

I usually get there about 11am. Big E is much closer to my house than their sister cafe, BAE, which is why I keep trying to come here instead. But if the sausage and egg empanadas are selling out this consistently, they're clearly one of the more popular items. You would think they'd adjust and stock more of them rather than repeatedly running out. I usually end up driving to BAE anyway, where they actually have them in stock and, in my experience, the presentation is better too. I'd much rather support the location closest to me, but it's frustrating to keep making the trip only to find the same popular item sold out again. Hopefully they start stocking according to demand.
