★★★★☆ 4.0 Kristina Wells · Mar 2026

We stopped in for a quick drink and a snack and it was very good. The brussels sprouts appetizer was amazing. The pickled ginger and pineapple really set it off. We also ordered the French toast which was stuffed with a delicious filling and had a fresh berry compote all over it. I ordered a tropical sangria, and it was very fresh and flavorful. The decor inside is absolutely gorgeous, and they have outdoor seating and a really nice patio area.

Always a wonderful experience dining at Aaktun in Clayton! The food is absolutely delicious as every dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell care goes into both the ingredients and the plating. The atmosphere is just as impressive: warm, inviting, and aesthetically beautiful, making it perfect for a date night or special outing. The ambiance, décor, and overall vibe makes the meal feel extra special. Highly recommend Aaktun if you’re looking for amazing food and a great dining experience!

What a great experience! We had a wonderful waiter named Cole who gave us fantastic service! The atmosphere is very nice and also beautifully unique! The food was absolutely yummy! Our group ordered the bread, fish tacos, tottisupreme, & Lomo Saltado, & shrimp & grits. We were all very pleased with everything we ordered- I highly recommend a few visits!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 John Martin · Feb 2026

I liked the restaurant; it was cozy. It doesn't have much open space, at least not near the entrance where I was, but I liked the decor, the tables arranged like little caves. As for the food, I ordered a sirloin steak. The presentation was excellent, and the flavors and textures really stood out. The portions weren't huge, and the price was reasonable—neither expensive nor cheap. For someone with a big appetite, I suggest ordering appetizers and dessert. The service was very good, with bilingual staff, appropriate lighting, and a nice Valentine's Day theme. I would recommend it.

I absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. I came in midday and had a Caesar Salad and Pan Y Butter - both amazing and like nothing I had tasted! It was so good I wanted to extend my stay so I order a desert - I can’t remember the name but it was a cinnamon pastry - so good! I savored every bite and bought an extra one to take home. I ended my meal with a coffee- I let my fantastic waitress choose so that I would be able taste something new. Every little bit of my meal was satisfying. The atmosphere adds to the experience - the colors - coral and emerald - lends to the feel of comfort and nourishment. I felt like a traveler in my own country. Lovely and worth sharing.
