👋 Shafaq here! I was blown away by a recent brunch, and I cannot stop talking about it.
Dig in: Mayahuel opened last summer in Autry Park and blends traditional and modern flavors of Mexico City.
- You can spot the CDMX influence right away. From the design to the menu — particularly, it feels like you're in Roma Norte or La Condesa neighborhoods.
My experience: I came, I devoured, and I'm already planning my return — for dinner.
- Acclaimed chef Luis Robledo Richards (who was a judge on Netflix's "Sugar Rush") has pastry-chef roots, and it shows. The inside of the concha ($6.80) was soft and fluffy, and the cinnamon roll ($6.80) was huge, tender, and even better dipped into the Mexican hot chocolate.
- As for the meal, the shakshuka ($18) actually had a kick — delicious. And you can't skip the chilaquiles ($18). Mayahuel's version combined the red and green salsas into one rich bite.
