Mayas

My sister and I had dinner at Maya’s and the atmosphere was cozy, lively, the kind of spot you want to enjoy with friends. The food, though, was a bit hit or miss for us. The guac needed more salt and the chips were just okay. I wouldn’t order the seafood paella again, but the chicken enchiladas were delicious and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall still a nice evening, just not everything landed for us.

Visited for the second time, and once again, the food did not disappoint! Each dish was packed with flavor, the menu offers so many options, and the charming décor adds to the experience. Plus, the place has so much history. It’s a must-visit!

Come inside this place with an open mind. Thai-Latin Fusion. The highlights of our meal were the date/blue cheese guacamole and the “A Caballo” the tuna Tartar was also fantastic and tres leches cake was a nice finish to a wonderful meal. We will definitely be back.

Upscale Latin cuisine that doesn’t disappoint! Familiar dishes with a nice range of offerings. Several vegetarian indicated on the menu. I ordered the vegetarian quesadilla and sweet plantains. Both were as good as I would expect. The specialty margarita was fantastic. My dining mate got the seafood coconut soup that looked like a curry soup. I’m looking forward to returning to try the paella and the flaming dessert. The overall vibe was great and the service is top notch. There was a little mix up with my order but it was fixed quickly and were very nice.

This is not your standard Latin restaurant!!! SO TASTY!!! They offer 4 kinds of fresh made guacamole. Delicious salad concoctions. A very crispy soft shell crab appetizer. Empanadas that are not from a freezer and one of the most amazing coconut soups I’ve ever put in my mouth… inexpensive, and freshly made. Chef owned.

Absolutely delicious food— highly recommend the sesame softshell crab and the Cuban skirt steak. Got the passionfruit ginger frozen margarita and now I fear I will crave one often this summer. Sweetest staff, great food, great drinks. A true gem of Magazine Street.

This place is so good! The menu has so many appetizing options! If you love Latin food, this is the spot. First and foremost, it’s a small eatery with friendly customer service. The food is made hot and fresh to order, so be patient. The food is bursting with flavor. The appetizer was my favorite!! I ordered the seafood tostones. Now my dinner dish was the shrimp curry, which was good but the shrimp were a little over cooked. Their drink options (non alcoholic) were limited as they were out of things. Overall, I would 100% eat at Mayas again. Great owner and employees! Definitely worth a try if you are in the New Orleans Area!

Friendly service and amazing food. Waitress had to stop us from ordering too much because we had not imagined the portions were so huge. She was right. The food (calamari & soft-shell crab & paella) was so delicious that we managed to eat everything anyway. A must do in New Orleans!

I'm from New Orleans, so I know what food with real flavor tastes like and Maya's is hands down the best Latin cuisine I've ever had. I've traveled to many Latin regions, and nothing compares! The team here takes professionalism to the next level. The food is always prompt, the service is exceptional, and the vibe is consistently on point. The fusion of their dishes and custom-crafted drinks is incredibly flavorful and keeps you coming back for more. I've been dining here since 2015 and finally decided to write this review because they truly deserve bragging rights. We always request Alejandra as our waitress because she's friendly, professional, attentive, and always gives the best service and recommendations.

We went for Valentine's Day and the experience didn't live up to the billing. For $200, we could've gone to Chophouse. Service Despite having a limited menu specifically for Valentine's Day, service was slow. It took two hours to get through all three courses. We had the same server as the last time, and she was still warmer to my wife. I'm a customer too and will gladly spend my money elsewhere. Another thing I find annoying is they're always trying to get you to buy a bottle of wine. When I saw the special menu on Open Table, it didn't mention alcohol. We tried to substitute the required bottle of wine with mocktails, but that was a no-go. Presentation: 11/10: They make some of the most beautiful drinks and dishes. Every dish is magazine-worthy. Food Ropa Viega--8/10-the meat was chewy, but had a good flavor. The cornbread was ok. Crabmeat Spring Rolls--8/10--these were different, like a crab cake inside of an egg roll. Hanger Steak--7/10--the steak had the texture of roast, and reminded me of my appetizer. The execution, while pretty, didn't align with my expectations. Baked Banana Mango Cheesecake: 7/10: I like that it was light. Oftentimes cheesecake is heavy. Pan de Pan--5/10--I didn't try the ice cream, but this is not a good take on bread pudding. It was way too dry and didn't have much flavor. Green Passion Mocktail--9/10--cucumber-forward, but still pretty tasty and satisfying.

Had lunch here yesterday and i thoroughly enjoyed everything. My server was very attentive. They bring out a mango "salsa" to start. It's more reminiscent of sweet chili sauce than salsa but delicious nonetheless. I got the crab and shrimp ceviche which this dish alone will have me coming back and again and again! I also ordered the shrimp tostada lunch special which came with soup or salad. I opted for the soup which was a delicious chicken and vegetable soup. I also had 2 lychee martinis which were probably the best lychee martinis I've ever had. The foodie in me was pleased and I Ieft full as a tick. No room for dessert, maybe next time.

Server was the worst I have had in years. She was incredibly rude to our party of 4. She seemed irritated when first asking for our order, was annoyed as we made room for the plate of appetizers, essentially scolded someone when he kept his fork on his dirty plate she was removing the table, brought out the wrong order (ordered chicken enchilada and she gave us beef), and refused to separate our receipt. Upon asking, she replied "Yes we are able but I don't have the time. I am too busy and I don't remember what you all ordered". Meanwhile there was one other table she was waiting on and we could have happily explained the order, as I mentioned it was only four of us. It would have been helpful so we could get reimbursed for our meals. The ambience of the restaurant is very cute. Food is mid. Service is awful.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Maya's was genuinely disappointing. I made a reservation for 4pm for two people. When we arrived, the restaurant was not busy and the bar was completely empty. We asked if we could sit at the bar to watch the football game on TV. The waitress looked confused, then said yes, but insisted we sit in a specific corner spot with our backs to the TV. We really wanted to face the TV, but we complied anyway. From that moment on, the attitude felt off. We sat at the bar for about 15 minutes without being acknowledged by the bartender, despite him clearly seeing us and not being busy. We eventually had to ask if we could order drinks. No greeting, no smile...just annoyance. We ordered a margarita and a beer. Only one drink came. The waitress took our food order, walked away, then came back and asked for it again, as if she'd forgotten it entirely. When the food arrived, the missing beer still hadn't come. I had to raise my voice to get the bartender's attention and asked about it. We ordered a Tona, and he brought a Corona instead. When we explained the mistake and asked for the correct beer, he made an extremely unpleasant face and acted inconvenienced. When my boyfriend spoke louder to clarify (thinking maybe he hadn't heard us), the bartender snapped, "You don't have to yell." At that point, he continued with visible attitude, muttering under his breath. We asked for to-go boxes and the check and left without finishing. The level of hostility and unprofessionalism from both the bartender and waitress was shocking, especially considering the restaurant was slow. We were polite the entire time and simply wanted drinks, food, and to watch the game. Instead, we felt like a burden. Unfortunately, service like this overshadows everything else. We won't be returning.

We are ready to have some Brazilian food in New Orleans (creole tomorrow, stay tuned). We tried another place and did not like the vibe at all, so we came here to Mayas spur of the moment. It is super friendly and inviting. The cocktails are anazing and the food is so good. We ordered the Brazilian Moquaceta and it was spectacular. Also ordered crunchy plantains , one of my favorite things, and they did not disappoint. Crunchy deliciousness. The mango salsa is so darn good! I do love spicy food and he does not, so it is always a nice surprise when we find a salsa we both like. I do want to point out that everything served is also so pretty! The drinks, the food, and the appetizers are served with aesthetics in mind. We loved this place! Thank you!

When my friend suggested that we go to Maya's, I admittedly was a little hesitant. In New Orleans, eating Latin American food I mean really how good could it be? But when I tell you, it was more than five stars. It was amazing! We started with this crab shrimp mango tower- Jumbo lump crabmeat, shrimp, spicy mango sauce, mango salsa, sweet and savory soy sauce and piri piri and the beautiful homemade tortillas...I can't even explain it. Oh rich taste of yumminess, with the tortilla that just set it off I mean really amazing. Next step was the spinach empanada. It was lovely filled with spinach, queso fresco, roasted garlic and roasted red pepper. it tasted amazing! And finally my Sopa Azteca, avocado, queso cotija, onions, black beans and corn. Topped with a smoky guajillo and tomato broth...please try it!!! If you're lucky, Jessica will serve you. She was so nice and very knowledgeable of the menu. The decor, the paintings, the colors all so lovely! It's in the Garden District so there's plenty of window shopping around. Can't go wrong with this place!

I had my birthday dinner here 1/3/2025. Love the decor, bright and colorful, true to culture. The offerings are a bit of different Latin cultures (Mexican, Nicaraguan, Venezuelan, etc). Lots of vegetarian options, but not necessarily vegan. We ordered mojitos and caipirinhas in a variety of flavors. If I had to choose, I would say go for the caipirinhas over the mojitos. For appetizers we ordered guacamole, spinach empanadas and calamari. I appreciate that the food didn't take a long time to arrive. My dish was the enchiladas rojas and it was very flavorful and large portion size. The spinach empanadas were incredible. I would go back just for that! We enjoyed our time there.

Oh my gosh! I found this divinely delicious restaurant while attending a conference in NOLA. The drinks were delicious. My friend and I both had Mojitos which we thoroughly enjoyed. The food was very tasty and so flavorful. Our server was super sweet and helpful. We had a reservation-recommend if you visit on a weekend. We sat in the front window-perfect for people watching! This was an all around pleasant experience. Definitely worth a visit! I know I will be a repeat customer.

We went here for my birthday. Everything was perfect. The dining room was not too crowded and the service was great. We started with a chicken quesadilla which was Monterrey, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, sautéed poblano pepper and sweet onions. Topped house pink sauce, queso fresco and pico de gallo. It was so fresh and tasty. For our entrees, my husband had the A CABALLO RIBEYE which was described as "Over sautéed potatoes, onions and tomatoes in a savory sauce topped with fried eggs, jasmine rice and sweet plantains." I had a bite and it was so good. The meat was full of flavor and depth. I had the DORADO which was lightly fried Mahi topped with sautéed shrimp in a Thai-Jamaican yellow or red curry coconut sauce. Served over jasmine rice. I can't wait to go back and i will order this again. For dessert, we had sauteed plantains that were topped with ice cream and 151 rum and then set ablaze. Perfect ending to a perfect meal. The prices were great too.

Took friends from out of town to Nayas this week. I wanted to do something other than the standard New Orleans fare. This was likely my fourth time there and it didn't disappoint. My roasted pineapple mojitos was both beautiful and so good! My friend's mocktail was a beautiful and tasty concoction as well. (Can't recall the name.) We shared the crab, shrimp mango stack which was amazing! We had the spinach empanadas as well. My friend's mocktail said she wasn't into empanadas but loved these. We weren't too hungry we each got appetizers/soup as entrees. My seafood tostones was amazing. My friends has the soft shell crab and the other had the sops azteca. We all loved everything. They thanked me for showing them something different in New Orleans! The ambiance was great and our waitress was the nicest person. I will go again and again!

Beautiful, light-filled ambiance with lots of colorful art. Really strong service. Johana was friendly, attentive and quick. Food was amazing. Huge portions! Lovvvveeeedddd the tortilla soup. The sweet plantains and original guacamole have me dreaming of having them again. Highly recommend!

I came to Mayas for Christmas with my family and was greeted with the most wonderful and beautiful decorations which added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. It's very nice and quaint upstairs. The service was lacking a little but I expected nothing less considering that it was Christmas day but once the food was brought out, I was amazed by the beautiful plating and exquisite taste. I loved Mayas and I think anyone who comes in would too!

Mayas has the best mojito in New Orleans -- always enjoy dropping in for a drink or a bite.

Love this place! Colorful drinks, perfect ceviche, fun atmosphere and ambiance, great service! Definitely a staple on Magazine

Not a tourist; I live in the neighborhood. Have eaten here a few times and never had a problem. I don't go often because it can be a bit pricey but this was for a special occasion and the menu in the window looked really good (turns out that menu was for a pop-up in the French Quarter, which it did state... but you can understand why you might assume a window menu would be for that same restaurant). First off, our waiter seemed new. There were a few simple questions he wasn't able to answer (is the tilapia a whole fish or is it a filet, for example) and there was a decent language barrier. That's fine, but probably more appropriate at a cheaper mom and pop restaurant than here where my entree was $28. The chips that came with salsa were stale. The "fresh batch" that came out wasn't much better. We ordered a red curry and the lechon pork. The pork came with yuca fries and fried plantains. You literally get 2 yuca fries, and ours came 100% at room temperature. When we asked for freshly fried fries, they simply took ours to the back and dipped them in oil (it came back with our original bite marks). Otherwise, the lechon pork and black beans dish was OK but very salty. The "red" curry color was very pale yellow, and when I asked our waiter to confirm it was supposed to be the red curry, he got another waitress who was very short with me and got the chef to come out, who was also pretty aggressive about the whole thing and insisted that red curry was simply yellow curry with more heat. That's fine, but no need to get aggressive about it when I was simply trying to make sure I had the right order. Also, pretty sure they used frozen shrimp. I almost never leave reviews, but this really was quite a negative experience.

Okay! With the better quality Juan's only a few blocks away, and the much more festive and SRO Superior Grill that's just a mile away, Maya has become comparatively Meh. Regardless, it's still a good choice for a quieter dining experience.

After walking up and down Magazine, this is such a great spot to get amazing food! They have a small outside seating area and both booths and tables inside. The decor is so cute, I loved it! We started off with drinks and I highly recommend the Peach Cilantro Margarita. I know, I wasn't sure about it either but it was so sweet, refreshing and tasty! For food, I wanted a mix of savory and sweet and the Bacon Maduros was perfect. I am a BIG bacon and sweet plantain girl so this was all I needed. I was very happy! My friends got the crab and shrimp ceviche and the Quesadilla con Rajas and they all tasted amazing! 10/10!

Food is beautiful and always perfection. Service is excellent and venue is cozy! Edgar makes excellent cocktails that pair nicely with the menu. I especially like the Pisco Sours and Caiprihanas.

My husband and I came here for a date night recently and LOVED IT. Inside is so cute with little twinkle lights, service was speedy and personal, and the food and drink were phenomenal, not to mention so affordable! We got a Paloma and spicy watermelon margarita to drink-ingredients were so fresh, quite delicious and so pretty! To eat, we got the seafood tostones (warm yummy hearty plantains topped with a bunch of seafood and a delicious sauce!), ceviche de Mercado (holy moly this was a feast-absolutely stunning presentation and the food was just as delicious and fresh, with some crispy calamari as well; it comes with tortilla chips for dipping so we added an extra side of fried plantains/tostones), and then we tried the beef and the beans+chorizo empanadas (crisped to perfection with a perfect portion of meat, they didn't skimp!) We will most definitely be back very soon, and tell all our friends! This place is awesome!

I love This place!!!! GREAT vibes. I gotta say, it's def a hidden gem. Pretty much everything there is delish. Stars for me: ELOTE APP! It's was AMAZING! Cuban egg rolls were so yummy too!! The drinks are Fire!!! Ask for the blackberry mojito or the kiwi mojito!! We sat at the bar and it was so fun. Jessica was a great server. No res needed.

We got stuck in NOLA for another day and I'm glad we did because we found this gem. Food was awesome. It was like a taste of home. Service was good. The ambiance was nice and the drinks were even better. I would recommend this place to all. So good.

Outstanding food and service. Best ceviche in town. Great art. Twinkling lights. Ideal place for romantic meal or take the kids.

While everyone was either at the Saints game or watching it somewhere, we girls decided to play tourists in our own city. Magazine St is usually crowded so we took this rare opportunity to come here for lunch and not have to worry about long waiting lines or service. As we sat down, we were offered complementary chips and a sweet salsa. I had the Paella Valenciana. It was delicious. My plate has shrimp, clam, mussels, calamari, chicken and Spanish chorizo over saffron rice. Everyone else enjoyed their own food also. Service was fast due to the Saints game and Magazine St. was not crowded. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Went to Mayas for an early lunch with family and ordered the empanadas and pork enchiladas. The food was very good and clearly a big step up from the typical place offering empanadas, enchiladas, etc. The great location, excellent food, flawless service, reasonable prices all earn Mayas five stars!

My wife and I are on a quick trip to NOLA, and were walking around Magazine Street when we realized we were pretty hungry. We popped into this place on a whim, and were quite surprised by how many vegetarian options were available to her. Looking over the menu, everything sounded great! We ended up going with the sweet plantains as an appetizer. We love empanadas, and were happy that they come two to an order so we could mix and match. She had the spinich and cheese, and I had the chorizo and black bean. Both the plantains and the empenadas were incredibly flavorful, well seasoned, and cooked perfectly! We then got the azteca tortilla soups for our entrées. As someone who loves a good tortilla soup, I was really happy to see one that didn't include chicken (they almost always do). The spice level was perfect, the flavors were spot on, and it came in a very generous portion. Our server even poured the broth for us tableside, ensuring that the tortilla strips themselves didn't get soggy. Speaking of our server, Josh, he struck the perfect balance between attentiveness, but also left us be to talk and enjoy our conversation and meal. He's a really friendly and funny guy, clearly knew the menu inside and out, and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed everything. He's a great server, and I say this as someone who worked in fine dining service for about 7 years. We couldn't ask for a better experience, start to finish. They pay attention to food quality, everything was fresh and delicious, the portions were generous, and the price was very reasonable. I could easily recommend Maya to anyone in the area. They clearly take a lot of pride in their establishment, and they should!

We sat up at the bar to eat and drink. I had the Mayas Margarita (as I figured if it had the Maya name, it should be good). It seems pricey ($18), but honestly, it was huge and equivalent to two margaritas. It was BEAUTIFULLY garnished to boot! The hubby had the Sotol Old Fashioned. It was smokey and good! Not that many places serve Sotol, so just do it. We shared the Ceviche Dorado which was one of the best ceviches I have ever had. So much so that I am going to try and duplicate it at home. We would definitely go back when in NOLA. I nice change from having had so much Cajun/NOLA food. The service was very efficient.

15/10 experience! Service was wonderful- they were able to seat us early with no issue. The waitress did not rush us at all! ALL of the food was amazing- not one bad thing to say. The cuban egg rolls were crunchy and savory. The cuban grilled skirt steak with rice and beans was everything to write home about! Lastly, the ambiance is so nice! Perfect for a date night!

My friend and I decided to check this place out on a Sunday night after discovering Lilly's closed. His idea, not mine--I had scoped the menu online previously and the entrees looked exceedingly pricey, but you know what? This one time it was well worth it. SO glad we checked it out. We were starving, having just walked from the Quarter and it being nearly 9:00 PM, right before closing. Props to the staff for serving us so late. I ordered the tofu moqueca--a sort of vegetarian coconut milk stew from the north of Brazil, served with either rice or a small warm loaf of French bread. Amazing. All of it. Tangy, creamy, and spicy all at once, flavored heavily of coconut, lime, onions, and peppers, with fresh sliced tomatoes and cilantro on top. The tofu was in large meaty cubes, fried the way I like it. I opted for the mini baguette and it served as a perfect dipping spoon. My friend got the Cuban skirt steak which came with plantains, and he said it was the best meal he had while in New Orleans. The salsa, I admit, was a bit odd... unusually sweet like an asian pepper sauce, but we still ate all of it. Really enjoyable meal. Excellent, attentive service. I only wish it were more affordable; I'd be in there often since it's so close to home.

We've been to Maya's a couple times now after a friend recommended it and we've never left even slightly disappointed. This place is a New Orleans must try. The food is so good and the drinks are great too. The chips with guac are homemade and so delicious & crunch. The chicken on both dishes was cooked perfectly and the sauce was great. The service there has also always been top notch. On our most recent visit, I tried the Italian wedding soup (SO good) and the empanadas (delicious). We devoured all of it before we could even take pictures. Overall, you can always count on Mayas for a great experience.

The quesadillas con rajas is one of my favorite meals in New Orleans, even though I think it's technically an appetizer. I also love the Caipirinhas. Some days they're really packed, and other days you make a reservation and there are only 2 other parties in the restaurant. I'd make a reservation just in case. Chips & salsa are served to the table, but the salsa portion is small. Always have gotten good, quick service.

We are so impressed with this place. We walked by last night and it was so busy. We came early today and we can't compliment enough. The server is so friendly and kind. The food is delicious, fresh, clean. The ambiance is cozy, stylish, and romantic.

Friday evening we stopped into Maya's around 5pm as we were killing time walking down magazine street. The space is fun and welcoming, with a lot of cool decor and a super friendly staff. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was AMAZING. The staff let us know that everything is made in house and to order, which definitely showed in the quality of the food. We ordered the guacamole and the Cuban egg rolls to start, as well as the ceviche Dorado and skirt steak Cubano. Everything was fresh, the portions were filling and well presented, and every plate was delicious. We also ordered the Phenomenal Margarita which lived up to its name. Overall we loved the food and drinks, the vibe was cute and fun, and staff were nice and helpful. We'll definitely come back and absolutely recommend it!

Tried this place for the first time a couple weekends ago and have since already ordered to go as well. The restaurant itself is small, quaint and peaceful. You can tell the staff have a family like relationship. Waiter Josh was great each time. The Latin food has a special flare to it, their own personal touch, some maybe even would say an Asian flare? Either way, it is all handmade and fresh. We love the ceviche and fried elote. As well as the ropa vejas and sopa de Azteca. So much that we ordered the sopa and fried elote again to go. Would highly recommend. Did not try any of the cocktails. But they all looked delicious as they were being made.

Recommend? Yes, but only if it's convenient. I got the tostones and the tofu moqueca. The pickled veggies on top of the tostones made it really good. The tofu moqueca was a true surprise. I knew the description said there's lime, but I didn't expect it to have such a strong effect on the dish. I personally didn't enjoy it because I'm used to Vietnamese curry and a Thai red curry. It's not bad perse, but very different to me. The tofu did have a hint of sour as well and I'm going to attribute that to it being in the curry so it soaked the flavor versus the alternative which is it being bad. Overall, it's a great atmosphere and if you get the right item menu it would be a really good time.

Delicious and creative Latin American food - not only Mexican but also Caribbean, Brazilian, and Caribbean options. Wonderful!

Highly recommend this jewel of great food. The appetizers and ceviches were delicious, specially the tostones with seafood, tuna tartar, fish and fry calamari. I can wait to go back and try the soup, vuelve a la vida and the skirt steak.

It's hard to find a Latin cuisine restaurant place here in Nola but I found one!!! Mayas had a little bit of everything on the menu ...I loved the options. A little pricey but good and flavorful. The staff were really nice as well.

My partner and I passed this place on our way to another restaurant on a Saturday and the food smelled so good and it was packed and we made a note that we had to come back. Well, the NEXT NIGHT, our plans fell through and we came back. They were not very busy on Sunday and we were seated immediately. I'm a strict vegetarian and my partner eats no processed foods. They accommodated us with no changes or substitutions to the menu. The food is made only after you order, so the wait may be slightly longer than some people might be used to, but SO worth it. The decor is romantic and suggests a higher end ambiance, but it is fairly laid back and we did not stand out in our New Orleans summer gear (polo shirt and shorts and linen shortsleeved shirt and leggings). I'll be headed back for brunch on our next trip!

We loved everything about Mayas. We were headed to a brunch spot and saw the sign for this restaurant! Everything was great. Service, ambiance and food couldn't have been better. Can't wait to make another visit.

Finally got around to checking this spot off my list. I have to say I was completely underwhelmed. None of the dishes impressed me. Everything was just okay. Service was decent. I will say for the price and size of the dishes, they are definitely a good bang for your buck. Personally, I would prefer a place with bolder flavors/spices.

Beautiful setting. The chips & dip given when you are seated are yummy. My husband had pork over black beans and I had the veggie paella. His was delish, I wished mine had been seasoned so much more. Overall we want to try the place again.

Food was very good, lovely atmosphere and the staff were very nice & attentive.the artwork was a visual bonus- highly recommend! AAA+

Blown away!!! Went for my first time today and everything was magnificent! Best mojito and guacamole we've ever had. Carne Asada, Huevos rancheros, enchiladas, and omg the churros!! Every single item my family ordered was delicious. I can see us being regulars here.

In early April, this year, I called Mayas to make a reservation for 10 people. During the conversation I directly asked if the restaurant would be open on Monday, Memorial Day May 29 for 1:pm. The gentlemen I spoke with assured me that the reservation was set and written on the schedule. He even sent me an email confirmation with all the details of the party I was planning. One of my guest called me the day before and was concerned that the website said that they were closed. So I called Mayas. The woman I spoke with, would only say that Mayas never opens on Mondays. I offered to send her a copy of the email confirmation. She did not apologize! She would only keep repeating "We're never open on Mondays". I found this to be rude and unprofessional. I had to scramble at the last minute and find a different restaurant for me and my friends.

Latin American food at its best! Interesting menu and big portions with home cooked flavors. Don't miss the wonderful hand crafted cocktails made with care by the owner himself. So yummy! The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a leisurely dinner.

Food, Service, and Ambiance is always on point. Love coming here it never disappoints.

Everything we ordered was interesting, unique and delicious. Comp chips came with mango salsa that gave it a little sweetness. Cuban egg rolls were a generous portion. Salad had greens mixed with sautéed veggies topped with tortilla strips. Enchiladas Rojas and Verdes were delicious and took large portion home for leftovers. Second time here, will be back again!

I've been in this area so many times, and yet I still haven't tried every stingle food spot. But the discovery story of this spot is worth telling. Stumbled in here with a group of friends post-parade on actual Mardi Gras... most places were closed, so this already seemed like a light at the end of the tunnel even though it was noon. Days into parading we were starving for delicious food and good cocktails. BUt we're locals, so we're still judgy. Mayas delivered on both counts: delicious food and good cocktails! The atmosphere is so much fun, lively, and positive. The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable. The menu has some amazing options that kind of made it hard to decide, but between us all (6 people total) we tried a bit of everything. No one had a complaint about their dish or drink. We laughed our way through an amazing meal. Thinking it was just a fluke, I've been back few times, and nope - not a fluke. This is just a great spot to stop in with friends and enjoy delicious drinks with tasty food. I've enjoyed everything on the menu I've tried. Easily a place you can feed people with differing palates since the menu is large. If you - like me - have passed this place a million times, you should stop in. You will not be disappointed.
