We were told that this was THE spot by the Locals. A small plate experience but with LARGE flavor. I’m still blown away. It was one of the best spots we have been to in a LONG time. SO MUCH FLAVOR! Best stop since we left SC!

A clean & inviting atmosphere. Wait time was a little longer than I’d expect for the amount of customers dining at the same time. My chips & guacamole tasted fresh & delicious, the ceviche was the perfect amount of citrus & spice, and the tres leches cake did not disappoint.

A friend treated me to dinner for my birthday. The atmosphere is great and the food was delicious. We had the best waiter that made our celebration all the better. I would highly recommend this restaurant. P.S. great margaritas.

I’ve been eating my way around Richmond while my husband is in the local hospital. I passed this place on the way to a different restaurant which was closed, so I came back because this was the only one open. I’m glad that I tried it. I had the chipotle bourbon tacos, the lamb sliders, and a mango mojito. I enjoyed everything. The steak was cooked perfectly. Prices and portions are comparable to places that I’ve dined at in Washington, D.C.

I have been lucky enough to dine at many excellent places. This one doesn’t even get to the meh level. Our server was pleasant and friendly but that’s where it ended. A bar tender that could not make a neat Gray Goose martini. Sent it back 3 times. The first one was pink for some reason. The second one was lemon flavored, the third was so watered down as to be tasteless except for the 3 shriveled olives. I ordered it neat. When the bar tinder brought the second one she was harsh, rude, complained that she was busy, blah, blah, blah. My advice to her would be to go back to McDonald’s where she will not be so stressed. The food was cold and bland. Not worth a second visit.

Fabulous restaurant with great food, atmosphere and staff! I have been here a couple of times and both ties very much liked the food and the menu. As someone who has lived in San Diego for a while I have had a lot of Latin American food items and these were very unique and delicious. I will say that they also had some very healthy options. First time for brunch I had a veggie fajitas plate which was off the charts delicious. It came with an iron pan of veggies and a separate plate with beans, rice and fresh tortillas..amazing!!! They baked in an oven and fried the veggies — served up a way I had not had them before…super good! Four of my friends also joined me and they also got respective dishes (not vegetarian) and also enjoyed them. Hand made margaritas and several versions including a jalapeno margarita were also unique and tasty. The staff (Jamal on the first visit, Ben on the second and all other staff) were professional, friendly and accommodating since I do request a lot of side items and water etc…Everyone thanked us for coming in and were very gracious. Last night we went back and once again the large open atmosphere with a very nice bar area set off the mood for a good time. last night I had the street corn which was awesome and the queso fundito (hold the chorizo please:-) and Farmer Taco’s. All of these items also were delicious. The Farmer Tacos were all fresh locally sourced veggies with a great cream sauce. I know this is an owner run operation and would suggest getting some more vegetarian options on there to choose from or making the veggie fajitas a regular menu item. I am happy with all of the items so far but the veggie options are a bit limited when it comes to entrees. Mr. Ben out waiter last night did a great job checking up on us and we left again happy and very satisfied with everything. Good place for Sunday brunch or getting out and going into downtown. There is a large parking lot (paid parking) right next store so parking is easy if the spots on the street are full and the huge glass windows provide views of cool old buildings and downtown. Keep up the great work Maya Restaurant and I will look forward to seeing you again soon!

Really great place. Delicious food, reasonable prices, great drink selection, friendly service, laid-back atmosphere. At first I was a little disappointed at the speed of food delivery but it is really fresh and great tasting. A must stop.

We had high hopes, but were sadly disappointed. We had reservations for 6:15 and got seated promptly. Our server came over and brought water and gave us a minute to look at the drink menu. We ordered our drinks and this is where things started the downward slide. We waited almost 15 minutes until we got our drinks. We ordered the ceviche ($15) and were disappointed upon arrival. It was not a large portion but there was very little distinguishable fish in it with no shrimp and a couple of small calamari rings. It was also impossibly salty. We ate it but did not enjoy it. The drinks were good but our second round was made wrong and not what we ordered (to the server’s credit she didn’t charge us for them) When our entrees arrived, they were both EXTREMELY salty. My partner ordered the shrimp and scallop tamale ($29) and got 3 shrimp and two scallops (not large ones) which did not feel like a good value. I had the chicken enchiladas verde ( $15) which were unremarkable, and overly salty. It may have been an “off night” but we won’t be going back. The quality does not justify the pricing.

First time visit prior to a Pat Metheny concert at the National. I had the chicken enchilada with molli sauce and my wife had the coconut shrimp tacos. Service was very friendly but a bit slow, they needed another sever. Food was good and well prepared. Margaritas were fantastic.
