Mayan Bistro

After reading the Trip Advisor reviews, we decided to try Mayan Bistro for dinner. It was not the experience that we were expecting. For an appetizer, we had CALABACITA CON QUESO (zucchini with cheese). This was literally zucchini with cheese. There was no garlic or flavor whatsoever. Even a little salt would have made this better. We ordered queso, but as is the case in most restaurants in Mexico, it was just a side of cheese. No flavor. For dinner, we ordered CARNITAS TACOS, and POLLO PIBIL. The meat for the tacos was flavorless and dry, and saved only by the side of queso. The chicken was juicy, but got all of its flavor from the tomatoes and peppers. The mashed potatoes were flavorless and had a gummy, pasty consistency. The mango margarita tasted like a tequila shot. How can mango be flavorless? We didn’t bother trying dessert, and went to Haagen-​Dazs afterward. The service was slow and it felt like we were inconveniencing the waitress. This was by far the worst experience that we had on our trip. This was also the least number of customers that we saw in a restaurant on our trip, and it was a high season during the week of Christmas. We would not go back to the Mayan Bistro and would not recommend it.

Decided to try this place out as it was recommended by another website, particularly their burritos. This restaurant is situated in a hotel near greenery and a swimming pool. No AC but ceiling fans present.
Completely empty when we went on a weekday so it was nice having the place to ourselves.
Got the chicken burrito which was ok — wheat tortilla with chicken, rice, and cheese. Pico was good but thought the guacamole was just ok. Dipping sauce was very spicy.
Large portion sizes were very filling. 2 burritos and 2 sodas cost $ 21 USD.
