I love Mayorga and am glad to see they survived the construction that has been going on around them. I too stopped by last week to find out they were opening late that day. I later found out that Mayorga often uses their very large space for corporate and private events. Who knew. I spoke to the manager who let me know that they do all they can to inform their customers by posting signs on the doors in advance and by posting on their web site. I felt a bit silly getting angry when what she said was in fact on their web site. Considering my cup of coffee does’nt compare to a corporate event I guess I cant get mad at them for paying the rent. I love the place!

I love the atmosphere, the food, and the coffee from Mayorga, but the service could be better. Not so much for the counter, but it did take our entrees a good long while to come out when we had breakfast there once. Beyond that though, I’m a big fan.

“I have to say that Mayorga’s service is super spotty.”

I love Mayorga but I have to agree. I was there a weekend ago and waited for 12 minutes for someone to take my order. There was one person in front of me, but no attention. I tried to make eye contact and finally asked to be helped. The person I asked took a phone call at the same time, talked for a minute or two then went in the back. That’s when I gave up. It’s a shame too, because it’s a great spot to hangout in.

My experiences at Mayorga’s have been lovely across the board. The food is good, the staff is very nice and attentive, and it’s a nice atmosphere.

I had the cocoa there a couple weeks ago when my nieces were visiting. It was rich, flavorful, the right level of sweetness, and certainly NOT a mix. I enjoyed it and the girls gave it two very big thumbs up.

I have to say that Mayorga’s service is super spotty. I had organized a lunch get together with some friends last Friday. When we showed up it was closed! Just a sign in the door saying their hours for that day were 1pm-10pm. I mean their normal hours were 7a-10pm. I was very disappointed. What kind of business just closes for the morning?

OK, so Mayorga should rename this drink “Classic American Hot Cocoa” and then invent a real “European Hot Cocoa.” Most businesses need to keep inventing new stuff, so this is a great opportunity. Of all the agonies, injustices, glitches and tiny potholes in the road of life reported and fiercely debated in the Penguin over these many months, this might be the easiest one to fix!
