After my first so-so lunch there about a month ago, we decided to try again. I truly, truly always enjoyed the food at the Mayan Gyspy. Four of us enjoyed a lunch that included a lot of lima beans. (That a good thing.) Three out of four of us had them. I can testify that they are different from the Gypsy version, with more lime now, and I think I like them better. The corncake was creamy and corny and delightful. Two of our party had the seafood bisque. As with the limas, it is different than the Gypsy version, and personally I like the Gypsy version much better. Seems like before, there were chunks of seafood where now everything is pretty shredded. The new version seems oranger, from cheese I presume. The previous version was creamier, maybe? Can anyone else help with their impressions?
SIL had the turkey mole and pronounced it yummy, although there was more eating than talking. He shared a black bean cake with daughter that looked quite good, but I couldn't get a fork anywhere near it.
Hubby and I shared a small slice of chocolate mousse cake served with strawberry sorbet and strawberry sauce. Quite good but I suspect not house made. But really, quite good. And if it is made inhouse, my compliments.
All in all it was a fine lunch and we'll be back. Business was good as the place was nearly filled at 12:30. The previous overly perky server was not in attendance. Our server was prompt, helpfully answered questions and earned a generous tip.
The Mayan Cafe is a great option for downtown dining. As before I'm sure it will quickly outgrow it's small size.
