Mayahuel Cocina Mexicana

honestly this place was phenomenal! I read a review below before going here that said their food tasted authentic mexican and that is the best thing I can say about this place. the food was truly delicious. here’s what you order... cocktail: la conquista, better than a margarita entree: carne asada tacos, so much flavor in the steak and the rice and beans as a side is perfect to eat simultaneously dessert: churros con nutella, hot cinnamon churros with ice cream and nutella it doesn’t get better with the hot and cold. we split them it was the perfect finisher. the bartender was very friendly, we will be returning because apparently there’s a happy hour?? mind blown.

The food tastes like authentic Mexican food (no Tex-Mex flavor compared to many DC restaurants). The service is simply impressive. Different than other very good Mexican restaurants in DC, the price is very good, hence the quality/price ratio is fantastic. Strongly recommend it. They have a great happy hour on Saturdays for food and drinks.

I've been here twice and both experiences have exceeded my expectations. This is a casual Mexican food restaurant with delicious tacos. I've ordered the hearts of palm and avocado salad with added shrimp twice and each time has been fantastic. I will keep coming to this restaurant for that dish alone. They have a great margarita selection and very reasonable pricing. This place will not disappoint anyone look for a quality Mexican food experience in the Woodley Park area.
