Maya Mexican Restaurant was a fantastic experience! The guacamole was fresh and full of flavor—one of the best I’ve ever had. The food overall was delicious, and the atmosphere had the perfect mix of energy and warmth. Friendly staff and great service made it even better. Definitely a place I’d go back to for authentic Mexican flavors and good vibes!

My favorite spot in Dubai! Authentic and mouthwatering Mexican dishes. We visited Maya and tried the Taco Tuesday packages. You can’t go wrong with any of the Taco’s selections. Chicken, brisket, and lamb wrapped in corn or flour tortillas (in the pictures) are highly recommended. When it comes to Desserts- do try Choco-Flan; a mix of cinnamon ice cream, chocolate cake, neopolitan flan, and chocolate sauce on the side. If it wasn’t for the calories we would’ve gotten another one! Last but not least- self parking is available - which is rare to find in hotels, and lots of parking spots. Well done Maya. Until next time.

Maya Mexican Restaurant was absolutely amazing! The flavors were rich and authentic, and every dish was beautifully presented.

Can’t wait to go back!

Went for taco Tuesday at Maya by Chef Richard Sandoval over at Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa! My wife and I were craving some authentic Mexican grub, and this place really hit the spot. We had the 12 taco platter and the pitcher of margarita, which were proceeded by frozen margaritas as an aperitif. There was live music on delivered with a plum by a mariachi duo. They were great and provided an amazing atmosphere albeit they did murder the song by Queen, crazy little thing called love but it was unbelievable entertainment. If you want a really fun night out, then make sure you hit the spot. Big thanks to the whole team at Maya for such a fantastic experience!
