We are so excited about our new side patio! We waited years to activate this space and have invested a lot in it since 2020. First, we added a large awning to allow guests to book tables there regardless of the rain. Then, we added excellent gas heaters which keep folks warm up to about 45 degrees. This means that even in November or March, you can enjoy some fresh air while eating your lima beans. When you make a reservation, simply choose a time slot labeled "side patio" rather than "dining room".
In addition, we are more than happy to rent out the whole side patio for groups of 15-25. It's the perfect spot for a birthday party or small team dinner. We'll help you choose a limited menu that suits your whole group. Learn more about renting the patio.
The concept of sustainability is at the core of what we do and how we do it. We source our meat exclusively from local farms and use as much sustainably-farmed local produce & cheese as is seasonally available. We believe in what our farmers are doing and also believe that incorporating those products into our dishes makes better food. Farm-to-table dining is how Chef Bruce grew up eating, and it’s at the foundation of his understanding of food.
We love most Latin American food, but this place is beyond anything else. It tastes so wonderful and the flavors seem undiluted and authentic, more so than most of the Mexican places we go to.

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.
