Highly favored by Puebla Yorkers for their craft in cuisine, bar, and culture, Mayahuel stands as one of the ultimate hidden gems of Astoria. Two Queens-Native brothers with roots in Chila de la Sal, Puebla, Ivan & Marc Vazquez, introduced their hometown flavors to the neighborhood when they opened their doors in December 2022. The food and drink menus boast a selection of fusion classics that highlight the earthy flavors of Puebla and the curious experimental spirit of Queens.
Ivan & Marc’s journey began way before 2022. Their parents, Carlos and Elva, have run, and still operate, their location Puebla Seafood at 9527 Roosevelt Ave, Queens, NY 11372 since 2003.
With their own dedicated space, Mayahuel has transformed into one of the most authentic examples of Puebla York for its featured music and artisanal cocktails. Regularly featuring Mexican DJs and mariachis, Mayahuel has become a focal point for the young adults within Queens' Mexican-American community, offering a uniquely niche experience.
Bartenders Luis, Roberto, and Julio, all Puebla Yorkers, are skilled with the shaker. The team frequently crafts bespoke menus for events, guaranteeing exceptional cocktails every time. When they’re behind the bar, you're in for a flawless experience.
Mayahuel isn’t just a pretty face. Although she is pretty. But the food matches their bar’s dedicated craft. Led by head chef Carlos Salazar, Mayahuel's menu features a variety of unique and flavorful dishes that showcase the best of Pueblan cuisine while adapting to the culture of Queens. His culinary philosophy is all about creating fusions that honor his heritage and upbringing while incorporating new and innovative ingredients and techniques.
The Vazquez brothers have garnered a collective of over 20 years of experience, with the counsel of their parents. All the more reason to trust you’re in familiar hands when you are welcomed into Mayahuel.
