Description

If you come to Cafe Maya you have to order the habanero salsa. The lively condiment is the work of Sergio Pinto, who opened up the restaurant on Jefferson Boulevard after buying the business from his aunt. The space is charming and decked out in brightly painted reds and blues. Large windows let in tons of light and warm up the space. The menu mixes Tex-Mex dishes in with more authentic Mexican cooking. Cochinita pibil, a sour roast pork dish, hails from the Yucatán Península and shares space alongside enchiladas, queso and guacamole. Smother them all with the habanero salsa and relish in its piquancy. It's good.

Spicy but not too spicy, beefy but not too heavy, it's one of our favorite appetizers in town. Stir it or leave it be, but be sure to share unless you want to ruin your appetite with the generously sized... More »
