Cafe Mayapan has some of the most delicious, authentic food I've had.
I was super pleased with my order and the food was well worth it.
What inspires my rating the most, though, is the cause it supports.
As their website states: "When preparing menu items, we ask ourselves: what are the foods of our ancestors? What ingredients do those contain? Can any of those ingredients be sourced locally?” Cafe Mayapan is owned by La Mujer Obrera, an amazing organization dedicated to creating community and fighting for women's rights.

I feel like the food I had here was the most authentic Mexican and even pre-Spanish Mexican food I've ever had! I had cactus for the first time, and it was great!

A coworker introduced me to this hidden place off of Texas street.
We were attracted to the albondigas with fideo.
I ordered a large size.
I also ordered a potatoe flauta plate with rice and beans.
The staff was welcoming and showed us around the building while we waited for our prepaid to go food. After waiting for our food, the server brought my bagged order and said , we ran out of albondigas, so we gave you what we had left and an extra side of chicken soup instead.
I was dissappointed and would have preferred she ask me what I wanted to do.
Maybe order something else or get my money back.
I had already waited too long and had to get back to work so I accepted the replacement soup.
The large cup had two turkey albondigas in it.
The food was good and the place has a story.
I will have to go back again to see if I can try a full order and some of their other dishes. Check it out.
Their menu has some good choices.
See pictures.
