Mayahuel

Had a really nice meal here last night. Server was really nice. Cocktails and food were great. We really loved all the sauces used in the dishes. And the Flan/tres leches desserts at the end of our meal were delicious! You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of thought into the menu.

We stumbled on Mayahuel after our first choice was closed and were glad we did. This family-run Mexican spot in Astoria focuses on northern and coastal flavors, with an emphasis on seafood. It was our first visit and the service stood out—friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. Appetizer: We shared the Camarones Zarandeados. The prawns were cooked perfectly and the sauce—with guajillo butter and mole oil—lifted every bite; I found myself trying (and failing) to scoop up every last drop. Mains: The Pulpo Encacahuatado was flavorful, slightly spicy, and incredibly tender—my friend said it was the best octopus he’s ever had. The Carne Asada was also excellent, with a tender, well-textured steak. Dessert: We followed an owner’s recommendation and chose the flan. It struck the perf

We had such a great time last night! The food was a surprise with its elevated simple but complex flavors. We ordered several dishes to share but honestly my favorite was the tuna tartare served with the silkiest avocado mango puree and lightly fried sweet potato chips. Highly recommend! They have happy hour which we didn't even realize till we received the bill. The drinks were really nice, you have plenty of options from the traditional to more swanky type. The staff was so friendly and our server was very attentive. It was our friend's bday and they sang and treated her to dessert. The restaurant is pretty spacious and has three different areas to sit in. It's great for large parties, they easily can slide tables together. I'm definitely going back for the tuna tartare appetizer and exc

Wonderfully surprised at the beautiful atmosphere, with outstanding, knowledgeable service, by Angelique, and high quality, gorgeously plated food. We came here with a groupon, but will definitely be back as regulars. Service was amazing and knowledge with great reccomendations . Creative, unique cocktails Luis-absolutely delicious! Delicious, fresh food! Will be back to try everything on menu!

It’s a 1 time deal! Order was messed up! Our server Tiffany was sweet but she needs to be more focused at work and the orders. Atleast she agreed she messed up 2 of our orders. And as a courtesy she offered tequila shots . Overall good was ok . No wow factor. I have had better mexican food. Drinks were good! And its extremely noisy .. the place is cute and cozy but that reason wont be enough. They need to work on the taste and service.
