Food and Fútbol

May 31, 2019 by SacFoodies

As a proud European, it’s in my blood to be a fútbol (soccer, to all you Americans) fan. That said, I am embarrassed to say that I’ve lived in Sacramento for two years and I’ve never been to a Sac Republic game! That all changed a few weeks ago when this SacFoodie was invited to a VIP experience for Republic FC vs Reno 1868.

The VIP section is right behind the south goal and offers a mix of high-top table seating and up close and personal bar seating. We chose to sit literally as close as possible to the action, because, you know, first game ever! Once we found our seats, we headed to the buffet (one on each side of the seating area) to chow down on some delicious Mayahuel dishes!

*Side note* You know how sometimes large catered events only give you lukewarm pasta and a slim slice of overdone tri tip? Well, the folks at Sac Republic have made an effort to change that by bringing in amazing local restaurants to cater their home games! Throughout the season they’ve invited Mayahuel, Tank House, Selland’s, Chando’s, Paesanos and Culinerdy to cater, and wow does it pay off!

For dinner we had fantastic Pork Mole, Mushrooms in a Pistachio Sauce, Chicken Enchiladas and of course, flour tortillas and rice and beans. I was so impressed that they had a vegan option to be inclusive for all diets. In addition to the food (with a view) we enjoyed a pregame watermelon margarita that was the perfect amount of sweet and tart. Then during the game, we took advantage of the full bar with our two free drink coupons! So, if all of this has sold you on the VIP experience, visit SRFC VIP Tickets to purchase VIP packages for any upcoming home game, going through October 12th, or contact Chris Nasser at 916-307-6103 to purchase group tickets. Also – keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram for a special giveaway coming soon!

Most of all, I learned I love some Food and Sacramento Republic Fútbol. So, who wants to go to a game??

FREE BREAKFAST AND COFFEE FRIDAY AT MAYAHUEL

March 5, 2014 by SacFoodies


Weekday breakfasts may be one of my most favorite things. Saturdays and Sundays pack them in and you always face an impending wait. But on a weekday, when I should be at work and there are less people dining out, it seems as if going out to breakfast is more of a treat.
Now what’s a bigger treat than a free breakfast … and on a weekday no less? Well that’s what is happening this Friday, March 7 in Downtown Sacramento. Mayahuel on K Street is introducing its new breakfast menu by giving away free breakfast tacos and burritos as well as cups of delicious Pacha Coffee. Here’s the skinny:

Mayahuel

December 14, 2012 by SacFoodies

Sometimes there is no better way to close out the week than with a good happy hour. My current favorite? Mayahuel. 
On the corner of 12th and K in Downtown Sacramento, Mayahuel serves up some delicious eats and drinks during their Happy Hour, Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m.
Whether it’s beer, wine, mojitos or margaritas, Mayahuel has a wide selection of drinks on special. For my drink selection, although not on the happy hour menu, I chose the Asi Sabe Mexico – a cocktail made from fresh watermelon, lime, cucumber, and tequila with a Tajin chile rim. Every sip was completely refreshing and delicious.
The real star of the show was the Canao de Ceververde de camaron appetizer. This tasty selection includes two slices of cucumber topped with a mixture of salsa, fruit, chile, fresh cilantro and lime infused shrimp.
Take my word for it and add Mayahuel to your list of happy hour destinations!
