Mayan Palace Mexican Cuisine

About this business

For the intimate, bordering on cramped size of this place, it is a great surprise when a member of the sincere, friendly Mayan Palace wait staff delivers burritos larger than footballs. Furthermore, one twenty-dollar pitcher of Margaritas offers enough drink to keep the entire restaurant boisterous long past closing time. Though immense portions and cheap prices are always welcome in Chicago, the many Mexican restaurants offering huge burritos for less than five dollars seem to lack a certain…goodness. For the Mayan P... read more

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants out there, I kid you not, if you don’t like Mexican food, go here and I will guarantee you that you will love it afterwards.

Very disappointed – We found this place listed in the PBS Member Card directory as one of the restaurants that will give a discount for members. The only reason we tried this one (instead of one of the zillion other Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood) was because it was advertised in the directory. The food and margaritas were good, but not amazing. There was cilantro in the dish of my friend who is allergic and specifically asked ahead of time if cilantro was in that plate and if so, could it be omitted. And when the b... read more

Best Mexican in Lakeview/LP, Worth the extra money – Mayan Palace is an all-around great experience from the time you walk in the the door to the time you leave. The service is quick and very personal. Mayan Palace does not have the waiters that pretend they don't understand what you're saying when something goes wrong, they correct the problem and apologize. I have heard people say Mayan Palace is overpriced, and it is more expensive than some of the surrounding mexican places. However, it is well worth the money. Personall... read more

Best Mexican in Lakeview/Lincoln Park – It seems like there are an abundance of Mexican restaurants in my neighborhood. We had been to Caesar's (self-proclaimed "Home of the Killer Margarita")... but a friend recommended we come here instead. Don't get me wrong, Caesar's margaritas are really good, but Mayan Palace's are just as good... Not to mention that, but they're half price on Tues/Thurs. Also, the food is way better than Caesar's, and probably one of the best Mexican places I've tried in Chicago thus far. Try the Cevi... read more

Our weekend tradition – I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mayan Palace. My boyfriend and I make a point of eating there every weekend. The food is delicious authentic Mexican and the service is amazing! (we come in so often they already know what we're going to order and how we like it) They make you feel like royalty and fall all over themselves making sure you have everything you need. In the summer they have a large patio but in the cooler months there's not a ton of seating indoors. Tuesdays and Thursdays are half price margarita nights ... read more

The best margaritas ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – I want to share my experience I had at the Mayan Palace with the rest of the world. I loved the margaritas.. the house marg. where are the best i have ever had. Its small true, but the service and food make up for it. oh yeah the bartenders are really good. its just two of them, but they get the job done. I heard a rumor that the patio might get covered so that means additional seating all year round. They have half price house marg. tuesdays and thursdays which include ... read more

best margaritas...ever – This little gem is a perfect place to spend the night with friends. The food is very good and the margaritas are incredible. I would recommend going on Tuesdays and Thursdays since all of the house margaritas are only $3.25. Also, the service is excellent and everyone is exceptionally nice. If you haven't been here yet, you need to schedule it in your near future.

Very nice little place – So far, so good on this little place (or should I say "palace"?). My girlfriend and I have only been there a couple times, and then only gotten veggie burritos and house margaritas, but that's really all we were looking for. The burritos are big and full of stuff, not just rice, beans, and lettuce. The margaritas were nothing exceptional, but are still good and still do the trick. A small pitcher got us both a nice little buzz. Chips, again, are not exceptional, but they're warm and crisp and kept fu... read more
