Visiting for Derby, dinner at this authentic Mayan restaurant led this then-DC-based editor to realize just what a livable city Louisville is. Start with the tok-sel lima beans. [Eater 18 Member]

This place is a true gem! What a finding! The best Huevos Motuleños I've ever tried anywhere! This is high quality Mexican Cuisine. Very friendly staff and a Yucatan Chef. Highly recommend it. 👍

Without a doubt, my favorite restaurant in Louisville. Whether I go with my salmon or scallop stand-by or with a special, I've never been disappointed. Their Lima beans are insanely good!

Amazing food. Salmon was yummy and the much lauded lima beans live up to the hype. Just say yes to the churros.

If your table isn't ready, grab a cocktail at Decca's downstairs bar. No bar at Mayan (but great beer and wine list for the table).
