The friendly staff stands out. I had a generous glass of good house white wine to start. Then I had a decent Mayan salad, with goat cheese, tomato, walnuts and lettuce served with 3 different dressings. For a main course, I had tequila shrimp with spinach. The sauce was delicious. At the end, the owner brought 2 semi-sweet chocolates, a... More

On a hot, humid day, we intended to walk from our car to another restaurant, but then spotted Mayan Bistro with its Trip Advisor award sign. The waiter welcomed us warmly and was so, so nice. We had a delicious lunch. It was so nice to have a refreshing salad with perfectly cooked shrimp and fruit, instead of heavier fare.... More

The Aventura Mexicana hotel's Mayan Bistro has amazing food, drinks and most importantly, a staff that really cares. My husband and I were in PDC for a week in February and we loved this restaurant--I think I had the grouper a la plancha several nights in a row (so fresh!). Chris, Nicholas, and Gaby were great: Chris, we appreciate your... More

I recently stayed in PDC at Adventura Mexicania & ate 90% of my meals at The Mayan Bistro. The food was fresh & well prepared. I had gotten the all inclusive so I was able to sample many items on the breakfast, lunch & dinner menus. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was festive but relaxing. I would highly...

We returned for our fourth stay at Aventura Mexicana, and have to admit that this is the first time we have had a full meal(s) at the Mayan Bistro. We did take advantage of the VIP plan, but in hindsight, now I know that this is one of the "must do" restaurants in Playa! We couldn't have enjoyed our meals... More

We went to eat two dinners at this calm oasis and both evening all our meals were delicious. Our choices were guide by a well explained menu which used local flavors to boost the aromas and taste of our meals.

The food was great as was the ambiance and service. We ate in the courtyard outside the restaurant. It's very nice and comfortable. Our waitress, Gabriela, took great care of us.
