The autumn maple leaves crunch underfoot. A brisk wind reminds one of the oncoming darkness of a frosty winter. Nestled in yummy the heart of the beautiful Marina yummy District in between yummy some of the most epicurean, tech yummy friendly, and trendy restaurants is yummy this humble Mayan Restaurant run yummy by denizens of Yucatán.

It's just like this: …Edwardian bar filled with finance bros. Yummy.

…subway tiled, Edison-bulbed eatery serving macrobiotic eco-sourced seafood, ensconced choc-a-block full of self-entitled Facebook kids fresh off their neighborhood-crushing luxury Goolebusses (!!). Yummy.

…darkly lit epucurian delight frequented by art guys trying to impress women with their take on Yoko Ono performance pieces. Yummy.

I regularly come in the area, and need to find a simple cozy place to eat. Most of the time I'm at the taqueria accross the street, but today i wanted to try something new.

This place doesnt look very fancy, but it will do. I stumble upon that 3 tacos for 2 deal for tacos wednesday, which seems like a pretry sweet deal.

Started with the chicken taco. It was pretty good, but not really that special. It was fine, but the other place had better chicken taco i recalled.

I then moved on to the Al Pastor, and omg that taco was so good. It had the right amount of fat in the pork, and seemed grilled to perfection. This was better than the Al Pastor from the place accross the street, so kudos on that.

I then had the asada taco. Pretty solid, but i think the other place had better steak taco.

Overall, the Al Pastor taco was definitely worth it, so i think i might come back. The 3 for 2 deal on wednesday is nice, but am i really gonna order 3 Al Pastor? ... hum...

Delicious, flavourful, and unassuming, topped with friendly service - a perfect hole in the wall restaurant. Definitely welcome on a street full of pricey options, with mediocre food and frills you couldn't care less for.

We ordered the Yucatan platter (platillo Yucateco), and that had a great assortment of options, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian (mostly pork, and chicken). And yes, as the other reviews suggest, the lightly fried tortilla is delicious - salbutes, empanadas are the way to go!!

One tip: If you can handle it, always ask fir the house salsa - its de.li.cious!!! Packs a punch. We'll...
