A Message For Our Community

As the world around us is deeply affected by Covid-19, our focus is now on innovation of food quality, flavor, packaging and service with a fervor we can only describe as being motivated by true passion and love of what we do and for whom we do it.

We are working to make the best decisions for our Mayan Café team and our customers. We understand that you have come to us in the past for a good meal and a moment's pause in the midst of your busy lives. We firmly believe in our ability to continue to meet both of those needs; we just understand it may look a bit different moving forward. Perhaps that means you're eating our food at home or on a blanket in the park. Or perhaps you're at Gravely Brewing Co enjoying our fast casual menu there with a bottle of hand sanitizer on the table and a mask on in between beers. Maybe you're even a wedding guest at a "front yard wedding" where you roll past the bride and groom and grab a fancy bag of our apps & entrees along with a bottle of bubbly. In all cases, you will still be eating the food we pour our hearts and creative minds into sharing with this community.

Please stay tuned to this homepage and our Facebook / Instagram pages for updates regarding all things Mayan Café/Mayan Street Food/Mayan Café Catering.

Bruce and Anne

- And our entire team at Mayan
