About the restaurant
Vamos a La Maya
Mexican comfort intertwines with the regions soul—Tulum's zest and Cancun's allure. This isn't your typical Mexican cuisine; it's a vibrant, rustic canvas bursting with authentic flavors, a culinary revelation that redefines tradition with every bite.

I had a great experience at Copacabana! The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the outstanding service—attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be dining there again soon!

Center City
About the restaurant
Inspired by the cuisines of Puebla and Veracruz, El Rey captures the essence of Mexican home cooking. Boisterous and broken-in like a laidback roadside cantina, the dining room hums from midday to late-night. Folk art, kitchsy found objects and vintage movie posters adorn the walls, providing plenty of visual stimuli for eaters digging into authentic tacos, tortas, enchiladas, sopes and more. Add a bar stocked with the best tequilas, mezcals and cervezas and you’ve got a cantina fit for a king.

About the restaurant
Fiesta Mexico is a beautiful Mexican restaurant that is great for everything from dates to celebrations. The interior has stunning archways and fantastic décor. There is a full bar so that patrons can sip on fruity margaritas to go with their meals. Fiesta Mexico is open every day of the week for lunch and dinner. The Fiesta Mexico menu is quite extensive and has great options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The queso fundido and cheese quesadilla are mouthwatering and addicting. Nacho lovers can order options like bean nachos and beef nachos, or chorizo nachos and chicken nachos. Other favorites are the carne asada with tender steak and guacamole salad. Dinner combinations are very popular as well so that diners can try a variety of items like enchiladas and tacos when ordering just one meal.
