Mayita — Restaurant in Florida

Make sure you order only what the menu states. I will come back to explain that comment. I found this place on Maps as I saw their menu could accommodate my zillion food allergies. I spoke with a young guy who took my order and was super nice. I explained my allergies and he understood. I got my salad and it had a dressing on it which I cannot have. There may have been a misunderstanding when I mentioned this to the nice guy but he was new, so it's all good. Not a big deal until he asked his dramatic boss or whomever was in charge. He asked the in charge jerk what was in the dressing. This in charge jerk just rattled off what the ingredients were just to shoo me away. I was like, I need a salad without the dressing. Drama boss man didn't like that. He said, 'It says on the menu that the dressing is ON TOP'. Seriously with this guy?! Wow. Why he is in the restaurant business I will never know. He huffed and puffed a little after I said I wanted to deviate from his menu lol. I left a fat tip and I hope ALL of which went to the nice guy and not the jerk. I do not...

Perched along the sun-kissed edge of the ocean, this gem of a Mexican restaurant is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted not just with warm hospitality—but with the genuine, gracious charm of the owner, who treats every guest like a cherished friend.

The food? Unapologetically spectacular. The lamb burrito is a revelation—rich, tender, and infused with flavors that linger like a good memory. It’s the kind of dish that makes silence fall across the table as everyone takes that first bite. Paired with a glass of guava juice—vibrant, fresh, and bursting with tropical brightness—it becomes an experience rather than just a meal.

As if the culinary excellence weren’t enough, the setting offers an uninterrupted view of the ocean, where waves and flavors compete for your attention. It’s the kind of place that feels both like a secret and a celebration.
