Los Mayas

Frommer's Review

If you're looking to be transported to a Mexican village cafe -- with excellent service -- come here. Within easy walking distance of most downtown hotels, this little gem has three cozy, brightly painted rooms where a fire crackles in winter. In summer, there's lovely patio dining. Every night live music plays, often flamenco or Latin, to enhance the intimate ambience. The food is a refreshing alternative to New Mexican. Dishes such as enchilada banana (corn tortillas stuffed with plantains, topped with mole sauce) and nopal asado (grilled cactus, topped with squash and corn) are innovative openers reflecting the Oaxacan and Puebloan influences here. Main courses include meat, fish, poultry, and vegetarian offerings in good sauces. My favorites are the camarones á la diabla (shrimp in chipotle cream sauce) and the tenderloin with raspberry chipotle sauce. Most entrees come with beans and rice, but they can be exchanged for alternatives. Round out your meal with an agave margarita or a selection from a decent and affordable wine and beer list.
