WOW...JUST WOW!
After my last experience, I walked into the new Casa Maya location a little nervous -- but WOW. Just WOW. From the moment we stepped in, everything felt different. We were promptly greeted and seated, and the new spot (same plaza, just a few doors down) is brighter, more open, and instantly welcoming. No crowded feeling, no rush -- just great energy.
Our server, Oney, was an absolute gem. Attentive, kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the whole experience feel special.
We came for lunch, and their lunch specials were divine. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and clearly homemade. We ordered the house guacamole, and that's when the party really started -- creamy avocado, fresh cilantro, and that perfect, bright flavor you can only get from truly fresh ingredients.
I ordered the chicken flautas lunch special, but knowing they make chocolate mole in-house, I asked for some on the side. Best decision ever. It came with a minimal upcharge, and it tasted exactly as I remembered -- the perfect balance of chocolate, spice, sweet, tart, and bitter. A real mole masterpiece. Everyone at the table ended up ordering flautas (some chicken, some shredded beef), and every plate was delicious.
I also have to mention the refried beans topped with cotija -- creamy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.
This place feels clean, crisp, and like management actually listened to feedback. They truly stepped up their game.
I even took home a steak fajita burrito for my husband, and he was over the moon. It came with a side salad, and even though it was a lunch portion, he could only finish half because it was so generous.
Everything was reasonably priced and 100% worth the trip. Casa Maya has completely redeemed itself -- and I'll definitely be back!
