"A local favorite for tacos and chile relleno tortas, Maya Cuisine in Northeast offers a brunch buffet every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The buffet varies week to week, but expect classics like tamales, mole dishes, and pozole, plus pancakes, French toast, and desserts. (Recent specials include shrimp fajitas, buttered codfish, and sopa de mariscos.) Maya Cuisine’s buffet returned from its pandemic hiatus after an outpouring of support from customers — reservations in advance are recommended." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"We’re still waiting for a taco truck on every corner, but until then, stop by Maya Cuisine on Central Avenue for platters of tacos, huaraches and tamales for around ten dollars. Maya Cuisine also has a great weekend brunch buffet." - Alex Lodner, Justine Jones
"Owner Isela Perez Pacheco first opened Maya Cuisine on Central Avenue in 2012: Stop by for elotes, pozole, and tacos. The restaurant has both cafeteria-style and sit-down dining options in a colorful, courtyard-like space — don’t miss out on the extensive salsa bar, or the popular Sunday brunch, which offers everything from tamales, buttered codfish, and sopa de mariscos to pancakes, French toast, and desserts." - Eater Staff
"Maya Cuisine first opened its Central Avenue doors in 2012 — in the decades since, it’s become a go-to for Mexican cuisine in Northeast. Grab a seat in the restaurant’s colorful courtyard-style space and order carne asada, tamales, or alambres from the sit-down menu, or grab a burrito to-go from the cafeteria-style counter. The salsa bar here is excellent, and Maya Cuisine also serves a popular brunch every Sunday." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"Maya Cuisine’s roomy, courtyard-like dining area is accommodating to large groups of diners — and though it doesn’t hurt to make a reservation, you might be able to find a spot for a last-minute meal. The tacos and quesadillas are always crowd-pleasers, but Maya Cuisine also serves larger plates like a slow-roasted cochinita pibil, stewed in a zippy guajillo sauce. The restaurant also has a great weekend brunch buffet." - Justine Jones
