Could not get a table at the cave restaurant so our driver brought us to Mayahuel. It was AMAZING!! They are known for their molcajete I was told so that what we did. We got 2 of those for the 4 of us and they were plenty. Fresh tortillas kept coming. Cocktails were shaken table side and delicious. The flan is to die for. Great entertainment and service.
Clean and good service. They check your temperature as you enter, give you a squirt of cleanser and you have to wash your hands as they clean your table. The food was pretty good. I didn't like the forced shows as it were. Mariachi band and the traditional dance. Two different performing groups. Obligated to give tips. Can't avoid the loud music right next to you. Can't have a conversation.
Nice spot by the pyramids to grab lunch. Besides good food, they have a mariachi and performances of cultural dances which were neat to watch. I would highly recommend considering amenities for the area (n.b. supposedly there's also a spot nearby where you can taste more exotic Mexican foods but couldn't track the recommendation from my guide.)
Long wait for the food but there was some live entertainment that we got to watch. Enjoyed eating their "Mayahuel especially", which were basically warmed up dishes in a hot stone. The vegetables were not particularly seasoned, but the meat one was juicy and flavorful. Pretty pricey for food that was mostly alright.
After a long hike up the pyramids, our tour guide gave us 2 choices. A restaurant in a cave with decent and expensive food or this place with cheap good food. I wanted to eat in a cave cause well duh but I got outvoted and we came here. It's a cute little spot with lots of tourists. Mariachis come around to all the tables so be kind and have some extra pesos on you. I started off with a Jamaica margarita. It was so good especially after all that walking we had just done. My cousin and I split a sampler. If I remember correctly is had some tiny soles, taquitos... it was all good. I ordered the flautas which were really good but also something Very Americanized. Some of the people in my group had rabbit and they enjoyed their meals. Overall, nice place to relax and enjoy food with new friends.
Typical tourist trap right next to pyramids. The bright side is they take credit cards. Food was US prices, not Mexico prices. Flavor and quality was not very good either, disappointing. The staff was nice though.
May be this is the best restaurant in the neighborhood. I mean around there - next to Pyramids, in the middle of nowhere literally. I guess it's mostly for tourists and groups passing by to see the mentioned pyramids and sights. There were local musicians signing and collecting money afterwards. We ordered some local charms, that I don't remember the sophisticated names, there was a dish of pieces of rabbit wrapped in an agave sheet, served with puree of beans and rice cake. Menu is with pictures for your convenience and better understanding. The known for me was quesadilla. In one portion there were four different pieces: simple with cheese, with chicken, with mushrooms and last one with something local spicy stuff. They didn't bring any sour cream or guacamole on the side; they served it with some indigenous salsas that were firing your mouth. So we ordered a side order of guacamole to extinguish the fire. Guacamole was served with chips from pork fat and some local cheese. There were some unusual regional and provincial "delicacies" on the menu: cooked caterpillars and worms. I saw the pictures on the menu and they didn't look very attractive to me, more repulsive I'd say. But may be some tourists like to try and taste new aboriginal "goodies", to feel better their way of life perhaps this way... We drank beer. But perhaps they have some wine too. And desserts. But there was enough food for us that we skipped that part. The whole lunch including drinks costed us about 23 US $ for two. I don't think we ever ate cheaper there. They also have a children playground in the back. The service was fast and attentive. The accept credit cards and add 10% service charge in the check.

Skip all the rest of the tourist traps unless you really have a desire to go to one. Food at most is mediocre at best and overpriced. This restaurant had phenomenal food(my family had fajitas and mole style chicken), live music, and great service! Skip the other restaurants and go here. read more
A very touristy restaurant outside the Tenon. Pyramid. It was clean, attractive, lots of help, prices were comparable to US prices but it's where they brought us. I had a cactus salad-fresh with mild flavor. *****(full disclosure) I DO NOT TRY THE CATCUS SALAD...I have had intestinal distress for days even with medication! read more

Amamzing, traditional Mexican food. Highly recommend this place very close to the pyramids. It may have tourists (like us), yet the locals and Mexican tourist eat here too. The staff were very accommodating with my daughter's seafood allergy. Tortilla soup, guacamole and chicken fajitas were all delicious. Enjoy and you'll be happy you stopped there!!! Sit in the front, so you can see the pyramids while eating. There is a playground in the back for little kids. read more
