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

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. read more

Mayahuel - Mexican Near Me - Teotihuacán de Arista, MEX

We sought out one special meal whilst in Teotihuacan and chose Mayahuel. The positives were the amazing local music, the excellent service and the clean setting. The food fell short. Chips were either soggy and oily or stale. Food was so so. We asked for Don Julio Margaritas with no mix and they came with the super sweet mix. The server rectified by bring more Margarita's without, which we had to pay for. It was too much for the two of us. My mole was ok but the chicken leg was poor quality with lots of bright yellow fat. This was the most expensive meal we had in our 8 days in Mexico (75 USD). The Margarita's alone were 610 pesos!!! read more

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. read more

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.) read more

Mayahuel - Outside patio - Mexican Near Me - Teotihuacán de Arista, MEX

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. read more

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. read more

We had lunch at Mayahuel after our visit to the pyramids in Teotihuacán. It's one of those restaurants that depends on tourist traffic, and as those places go, it wasn't the worst. The space was nice--we ate on a patio with a gorgeous view, encompassing the pyramids and a whole lot of blue sky and greenery. My husband had a beer--a mini bottle of Sol--while I had a slender glass of horchata (our meals, included in the price of a private tour, came with small drinks). Beer was probably the way to go, though I did like my horchata. It was just such a pleasant place to have a drink. Service was great, attentive and friendly. Our server complimented my Spanish, which made me feel like a hundred bucks. Cien dólares, if you will. The menu was easy enough to figure out, with a handful of prix fixe options and several helpful photographs. The food was mostly fine, if not wonderful--I'm definitely rounding up a star for the environment. I did like the fresh tortilla chips that started our meal. They came with a deep red salsa and a black bean spread sprinkled with white cheese. For my lunch, I went with paquete 2, which came with a soup, an entree, and a dessert. (My picky husband got a fajita without vegetables--very sad, but that's on him.) The soup was the best part. I got the sopa azteca, a tortilla soup with avocado, chicharrón, pasilla chile, and queso panela. It was tasty, with plenty of flavor and texture. My entree, unfortunately, was pretty bad. I chose the pollo con mole, and the chicken was super dry, without enough mole to disguise it. The mole was okay, as were the sides of Mexican rice and black beans. For dessert, I had the xoconostle en almíbar, or prickly pear in syrup. It was puckery sour in an aggressive but kind of intriguing way. I'd never had this before, and thought it was worthwhile. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at Mayahuel, but if you're here, you've probably already gone out of your way to go to Teotihuacán. I don't know what the competition is like, but this wasn't a bad place to get a leisurely lunch. Some of the food was good, and the view was quite lovely. read more

Excellent. Our amazing tour guide Leonel from Mexcity Tours recommended this place after his stellar Teotihuacan Tour*. We passed many places waving us down to stop at their place and then arrived at this truly lovely restaurant. We tried a variety of dishes from soups, lamb, rabbit and meats. All traditional dishes. All fantastic. The desserts, amazing and the Mexican coffee a treat. The spices and chiles done with great delicacy. the waiter was helpful and suggested great dishes. It was a pleasure to sit in their patio and hear the music. I wish I tried more dishes. * Leonel came highly recommended. He has an in depth knowledge of the temples, the people and history. He is an EXCELLENT driver. We felt cared for. He explained with great passion and love many many things including foods and vegetation. We came away exhausted and satisfied. read more

Great place right next to the Pyramids for some pre-Columbian food like Tlacoyos and assorted Quesadillas. Also got to try two types of Pulque here. Fresh and clean food, despite what you might expect from the area. Highly recommended! read more

Hidden gem! I had a traditional dish. Pollo(chicken) de mayhuel and my friend had the steak dish. They were both really good. they had a live band. Great atmosphere. Good place to go after seeing the pyramids out of puerta #4. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Mind you the tequila selections are vast and amazing. The food, good. But note to some of bartenders and staff...get over yourselves. Lose the 'tude. 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

Excellent restaurant, the food is really good with a lot of traditional dishes.The service is awesome, everybody is very kind and we had a fast service. I have two kids (6 & 2 yrs old) and they ate very well. The chicken soup and the flautas ( fried tacos ) were the best options for them. the prices are very reasonable. As a plus there is a playground in the back where we ate while the kids were playing. They also have a baby changing table! I will come back. read more
