Restaurante Maya Cañada Reviews
I'm vegan Medical Medium gluten-free and mostly fat-free and corn-free. My way of eating can be hard to maintain while traveling. But at Restaurant Maya they had several dishes that was gluten-free, vegan and Medical Medium compatible. I chose the grilled cactus (Nopales) steak with veggies and about, and it was very delicious The waitress was very helpful and made sure he was right about all my special needs by asking in the kitchen For dessert I had yummy flambeed banana, and what a show the waiter put up for us Thank you for a lovely evening and yummy vegan gluten-free meals. #vegan #glutenfree #medicalmedium #plantbased
Just happened to drive past on the way to an atm. Liked the look of it. We had one of the best meals in our 5 months in Mexico. The waiter was attentive and made some excellent recommendations. My husband had chicken chaya & absolutely loved it I had one of the fish specials with courgette & guacamole, it was excellent. Great selection of puddings. Good cocktails too. Highly recommended @grandrovervoyager
The BEST restaurant in Palenque!! The food was authentic to the Chiapas region. I tried many new things like chapay (vegetable that looks and tastes like vegan mince), Chaya (bitter spinach), plantains (banana but sweeter and fried), and crocodile. The food was absolutely delicious so we came here twice. There are lots of choices on the menu and plenty of vegetarian options too. The portions were good and the staff were friendly and hospitable. The seating is outdoor but covered by a roof. The atmosphere is great and they had live music. Service is quick. For dessert we had stewed pumpkin in molasses and cinnamon. We also tried the local delicacy of pan de elote ( sweetcorn cake) which was amazing and I recommend you try it! I would love to come back here
Good restaurant serving local dishes from Chiapas 17.509667 -91.988318 This top TripAdvisor restaurant is part of Hotel Sevilla Palenque and offers a pleasant and authentic dining experience in a traditional setting with lush surroundings, enhanced by Cuban live music. In December 2024, as Palenque is cattle raising area with good beef, we ordered oven-baked cochito of slow oven-cooked pork marinated in adobo broth (or sauce) consisting of paprika, oregano, salt, garlic and vinegar and wrapped in banana leaves in December 2024 (Mex345). The cochito was delicious, well prepared and representative of local cuisine. Service was attentiveness and professional. Restaurante Maya Canada offers a charming ambiance, tasty local dishes and live entertainment. Highly recommended.
We had an amazing two meals here (breakfast and dinner - it was that good!! However it is expensive just FYI (about what we’d pay for dinner in London!!). Breakfast was reasonable and they’re open early so we went before our tour. For dinner we had a cocktail each and a main dish each and it was over 2000peso. However it was yummy and the service is great. Try the guanabana margarita. The fish was delicious and you can Choose 2 sides with it. The rabbit was also really nice! Highly recommend just be wary of the (fish is especially expensive)
Had a wonderful dinner at Maya Canada. Prawn Tacos and Lamb were both excellent. We dined in an air conditioned room up stairs which was a blessing due to the heat. Staff were very friendly and service was great.
This restaurant is great and is steeped in local history having been in operation since 1958. All of the food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxing and authentic. There was a guitar player and singer at the restaurant who played Spanish language songs from around the world, explaining their history before he played them. Crocodile was on the menu and it was tasty. Be advised that if you order it, one bit might be chewy.. this is not the fault of the kitchen but unfortunately can sometimes just happen with the wrong part of the crocodile. Salads and soups were wonderful as well. The service was friendly and we left feeling satisfied and happy with everything - something which has not been a recurring theme on our travels in Mexico!
This has been one of the best restaurants for authentic Mexican food that I have tried. You will not be disappointed they have very unique plates. Including meats like rabbits, deer, and crocodile.
