Cantina Los Mayas pairs authentic Yucatecan-Mexican cooking with a wine list sourced exclusively from Mexico, pulling bottles from regions including San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato, and Valle de Guadalupe. It operates as a cantina and bar, with a full bar alongside the wine-focused service.
The kitchen's panuchos come topped with cochinita pibil, and mole shows up coating chicken. Sikil pak, a Yucatecan pumpkin-seed dip, and molcajete mixto round out a menu built to stand alongside the wine rather than play backup to it — dishes are meant to be shared across a table.
The restaurant has drawn attention as one of the few spots in the city built entirely around Mexican wine, a point of difference in a neighborhood not otherwise known for it.
