When Claudia Cano opened the Guaca Maya
Mexican Restaurant in 1996 she knew, she and Juan Manuel Robles were
entering into a difficult business that already offered challenges.
They were locating in South Omaha, home to many of Omaha’s best
restaurants, their building already had a reputation for fine food,
and they had little more than each other to start with.
They also knew they had something special to offer their customers, and together they could make their dreams come true. Nine years, a wedding, two daughters, a lot of hard work and long hours later, they moved Guaca Maya to a much bigger building. Year 10 brought yet another blessing, a son. The move to 5002 South 33rd Street was more than a change in location. It was the culmination of their goals and dreams. Now, not only can they serve their customers the finest in authentic Mexican food, dish up an unmatched assortment of Mexican seafood, lay out a buffet fit for a royal banquet, and accommodate groups of two to two hundred, they can almost convince everyone that comes through the door, they actually are in Mexico. As you enter, it is as if you have strolled into a village not far from the Mexican coast. Sparkling star like lights tell you it is dust no matter what time it is. As you are greeted by a colorfully and traditionally dressed senorita, you hear the music in the air, and note the smell of fresh tortillas and warm spices. You take a seat by the fountain in the plaza, and marvel at the sights around you. There is the grill and the señora busy pressing and stacking fresh tortillas, across the way is the brightly lit and well stocked Canteena and just beyond that four pool tables ready to test your skills. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights from 9 PM to 1 AM the dance floor is alive with lights, and dancers moving to the music of a live band from Chicago, California, or Mexico. Or will it be DJ El Gato? No matter, the music is loud, the spirit is light, and dance floor is calling. Guaca Maya Mexican Restaurant is more than a restaurant, it is an experience. Join us! Located at 5002 So. 33rd Street (between L and Q streets on 33rd) Restaurant Hours: |
