If you like your drinks spicy and with a side of guac, this place is for you

Amongst the craziness there is a light at the end of the tunnel, Mayahuel. Hidden on Sixth Street in between First and Second Avenues you will see a shivering bouncer in front of a black awning. Read more

The tequila beer cocktails are surprisingly the best thing on the menu

Alex RavenelMarch 12, 2015
Very good cocktails, most of them tequila or mezcal-based.

Get the lobster ceviche if you like your ceviche classic. Pork belly - good not great. Fabulous cocktails. Great staff. Late night gem.

I'm not a lightweight, but just one Slight Detour was enough to kick off my night in a big way. Get it & enjoy the buzzy warmth.

Great cocktail list and amazing churros

The after taste of Mr. Bitterness is reminiscent of pickles dipped in rubbing alcohol. If you're into that.
Ryan AmbsJanuary 29, 2015
Really wanted to hate it when I walked in but despite the weird vibes and ridiculous menu the drinks were very good. Didn't hurt that the waitress was a total smokeshow either
Clay WilliamsApril 26, 2013
It's like I was transported to Mexico: everything feels like it was designed for someone half my size. Good, interesting cocktail, but so cramped.
Chris EOctober 8, 2014
Drink the spicy drinks. Beware of the delicious but difficult-to-eat queso.

The cocktails are great, but please take an opportunity to take one or more "Flights to Mexico" and edumucate yourself
Kay JayJuly 11, 2017
Great drink selections and cool vibe.

Fish tacos and their equivalent of a sangria were diVINE, as was everything else.

If you're into tequila you've entered nirvana. Try the cocktail with the spicy rim- it'll tickle you in all the right places.

Great date spot. Sit at the bar so you can watch then mix the drinks. Order a Herb Albert

The hit or miss cocktail is a must
Pueblo Viejo TequilaMarch 3, 2016
If you want to freshen up with a delicious cocktail at Mayahuel, try a Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.

Even if youre not hungry, order the churros y chocolate. You won't regret it. #outofcontrolgood
Eri VDecember 6, 2016
Drinks are really good if you like mezcal. They don't give you enough chips to finish the $15 queso and they charge you if you ask for a few more. Super lame and a waste of cheese.
Mikahla VicinoJuly 11, 2016
Grab a seat upstairs if you can
dara lynneMarch 13, 2011
I know you're here for the tequila but DO NOT leave without getting the popcorn. AMAZING! :)
Nidhi KayJune 22, 2019
Mezcal old fashioned 👌🏼 perfecto
ArjunJune 9, 2012
Croquetas, chilaquiles, and tamales are delicious and cheap.
Catherine CantaveMarch 15, 2014
The food is good. The drink are v. strong. However all the wait staff look tired and in need of a massage - ruins the experience.
Tudor LeuMay 15, 2012
Tequila and mezcal galore in these cocktails. Solid choice.
MelissaFebruary 23, 2013
Get the Black Star because it is very good. 
