Located in Houston's Autry Park, Mayahuel is a welcoming spot, especially on the terrace during warmer weather. Inside, the elegant bar beckons with a comprehensive selection of agave-based liquors and fine cocktails, while the two-level dining room has a sophisticated ambience and an open kitchen where Chef Luis Robledo Richards showcases the history, food and flavors of his beloved Mexico. The tasting menu displays a modern touch threaded with heritage, as seen in dishes like pork tacos and short rib barbacoa enhanced with imported ingredients, but the cacao-based dessert steals the spotlight. The service is especially welcoming.
