The Drinks
Come thirsty to taste your way through the bar’s craft cocktails and famous insect-infused Mezcal shots! YES, real bugs, oh so crunchy!
We suggest enjoying a few cocktails first to gain the courage to shoot a scorpion, cricket, worm or ant infused shot. Sip on the “ Red Warrior” or “Yellow Warrior” Old Fashions, “Molejito” signature mojito. To stick to authentic Mexican try the , Cazuela Tequilera. My favorite was the or the Maya Colada with Grey Goose, avocado juice, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and shredded coconut!
The Food
You can’t go wrong with authentic Mexican! Start munching on house made salsas served with a giant tortilla chip served in a pyramid stand. On the other hand, don’t fill up too much to save room for everything else.
Starters include Beef Tartar Al Pastor, Guacalote made with avocado, corn and queso fresco. We loved the Lobster Ceviche together with all the right textures of cucumber and flavor of lime to make up the chef’s secret sauce.
Try out the Short Rib a la Barbacoa as a main dish. If your not in the Mexican mood instead, you can chose from the fan favorite Filet Mignon , the 32oz Prime Tomahawk Steak, or Seabass served with capers, olives, tomatoes and potatoes.
To clarify, we all know tacos are the way to the heart! Go to taco town with traditional favorites such as, mouth watering Puerco Adobado (pork & bacon) or the juicy Pollo de Tinga. On the other hand, If seafood is more your style try the Sashimi Wong- Tong Tacos. Your choice of Ahi Tuna, Himachi or Salmon served with Jalapeño pico de gallo, chipotle mayo.
The menu caters to all dietary needs with as much as half the menu providing vegan and gluten free options. In other words, Mayami has something on the menu to satisfy all diners! In fact, the tacos can be made vegetarian with sauteed squash, tempura or sauteed mushrooms.
If your not in the Mexican mood of course you can chose from the fan favorite Filet Mignon or the the 32oz Prime Tomahawk Steak. The Seabass served with capers, olives, tomatoes and potatoes is certainly a top choice.
The Dessert
No meal is complete without something sweet! By all means, indulge in the Mexican classic Churros coupled with Mexican caramel sauce, Cajeta. Chocolate lovers must try the Xocolate, a layered mouse cake with crispy crepe flakes. Specifically, if fruity tickles your fancy go for the light and refreshing Mayan Mango Gold sorbet.
