Mayahuel, established in 2022 by first-generation Mexican immigrants Leonila Cazares and Carlos Vazquez, highlights the rich cultural heritage through its masa-centric dishes made from fresh corn. Located in Astoria, the restaurant was inspired by their sons, Ivan and Marc Vazquez, who grew up in the restaurant industry. With a history tied to hospitality and community, Ivan recalls how his parents, who ran Puebla Seafood, viewed their work as a passion rather than profit. Mayahuel continues this legacy, embodying the spirit of family, culture, and authentic Mexican cuisine.
Open since 2022, Mayahuel is a family-run Mexican restaurant where Leonila Cazares and Carlos Vazquez grind corn to create fresh masa for their dishes.
The dream of Mayahuel emerged from the experiences of Ivan and Marc Vazquez, who grew up in a family dedicated to the hospitality and restaurant business.
