This place is amazing has tons of seating, staff is super friendly, nice decor and we're playing some good music. We also had a big party and the food came out all at once. For being a restaurant, prolly one of the biggest and best tequila selection. We went on a Friday and they had many options for people who do lent, so no meat. Many of my peers had gotten the chile rellano and loved it. I had gotten the Dolbaditas de Chile Poblano, def delicious and def filling, I would order that so many times so good. Also had gotten a PALOMA to drink, so freakin good and refreshing

Food was excellent. The tacos were savory and overflowing with beef. The refried beans were creamy and flavorful. The rice was excellent as well. The service was spot on and our server was very attentive. The restaurant also has a large bar where they serve several different brands of tequilas. Very enjoyable place to come for lunch or dinner.

I tried this place out when I went to Sacramento. I tried going on a Wednesday night but it was a 1.5 hour wait so we left. We tried again Thursday night and there was no wait. We were seated right away. I only ordered an appetizer which was the tacos dorados de requeson. I love requeson so those were perfect. They come 5 small ones in a plate but definitely will fill you up. I also ordered a mezcal paloma, it was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Walking in the place is really pretty. Very artsy. The only thing I didn't understand was that the place said it was a museum but I didn't see anything that gave me museum vibes. Except they just have a lot of alcohol and murals and art showcased in the walls.

Excellent traditional Mexican flavors. Great spot for business lunch especially if you have business happening at the convention center nearby. Ambiance: cozy, filled will bright, colorful, Mexican art Attire: casual +, business Crowd: mixture of business and friends Age: all Food 8/10 Service: 10/10 (v fast!) The spot is an explosion of the senses from all the amazing decor to the bright flavorful food. Check out the spot in Sacramento. Our server was so friendly and attentive. He had our drinks within seconds and our food came out faster than we could've imagined. Usually, this means that the food is premade and not very good. It's likely this food was premade, but also still delicious. I had the chicken mole platter. I love Mole and this did not disappoint. My business colleague enjoyed his meal as well. He did ask if they made the tortillas in house which unfortunately they do not, but I can see with the amount of tables in the space that they do a lot of volume so that is likely why they use premade. Great spot for a quick lunch .

Tequila Museo Mayah in downtown Sacramento is an amazing spot! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was excellent. We tried a dish that came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint--it was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a great variety, and the flavors were authentic and unique. I also appreciated their attention to detail with the presentation and the quality of ingredients. Overall, I give it a solid 5 stars! Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious food and a great experience. Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures of our 5 different dish.

Party of 7 for a Saturday night, reservations much in advance, seated in the COA Room near the back wall for amiga's Scorpio Season birthday festivities. Our server was Maria A, and she did an amazing job. Very busy night with other tables with bigger groups than us, at least in our seating area/room which wasn't even the main dining space. Started with a shared order of guacamole (salsa and chips complimentary), and additional baskets of fresh chips as needed when the main food orders got delayed/backed up. Drink orders came out promptly (both cocktails and nonalcoholic/virgin mocktails). The table got the Mayahuel Paloma, Skinny Margarita, Mango y Chile, Maya Margarita, Mexican Mule, Lalo Cantatrito, can of Long Drink seltzer, and Asi Sabe. After the drinks, the entrees didn't arrive until an hour later. For mains, we all got arrachera tacos, mole enchiladas, brochetas (chorizo y queso), carnitas atacheo x2, crema chile poblano soup, spicy pistachio mole. The grilled fish tacos they ran out of, as well as shrimp, so those were substituted with adobada I think. I attended the Paws, Pubs, and Grubs event last week where I got to try samples from Mayahuel's menu, and I decided to go for those specific items again. Mine was the half order (cup) of their signature poblano soup and the spicy pistachio mole con Pollo which came with plain rice and choice of tortillas. I liked the soup very much, and the pistachio mole (gf) was interesting, but I'm partial to the more traditional mole poblano with Mexican rice. No beans with this dish. The complimentary birthday cake slice was the mango mousse butter cake and it came with a sparkler, fun!
