The Mayan Café proudly serves the essential ingredients and flavors of Mayan cooking – dishes rich with smoked chilies, pumpkins seeds, lime, oil infusions & roasted meats. We source our meat exclusively from local farms and use as much sustainably-grown local produce & cheese as is seasonally available.
Our chef, Bruce Ucan, is a Mayan Indian from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. He came to the states in 1987 and has been working in restaurants here ever since.
The Mayan Cafe began as a small truck out of which our chef sold tacos & salbutes. Over the years, this grew into a restaurant in Nulu, one of Louisville’s most energetic and developing neighborhoods.
