Mayas Authentic Mexican Food Reviews
Good service and ambiance, and the food was excellent! Ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were nicely balanced. We had a mango and tangerine margarita and they were both great, too!
We celebrated my husband's birthday dinner at Maya's and were very pleased. All of our dishes were delicious and the service was excellent!
First time trying Mayas & we were pleasantly surprised. We did an online order for carry out & upon pickup the staff were friendly and helpful. My fiancé loved the Birria tacos & is happy to know we have these nearby. We also had the chicken tostada & chicken nacho fries. Both were packed with flavor & lots of fresh toppings! The dishes were a lot bigger than expected. We got a side of the rice & beans which were pretty delicious! The refried beans have a pretty savory taste compared to most Mexican restaurants but they weren't too over powering. The queso dip is amazing & the salsa is fresh. Mayas has the best Horchata that we have ever had! Unlike most places it wasn't grainy, overly sweet or too milky. Every sip was smooth, full of cinnamon & the right amount of sweet. ( this is a must have with every order moving forward) The restaurant itself is quaint, clean & has a nice bar for customers to sit back and relax. We have lived near Mayas for 2 years & are happy to have given it a try. Supporting local restaurants & trying new things did not disappoint!!
This is the first time I have been here since Covid. It is located in Grass Valley in the same large shopping center as Raleys....Pet Smart..India Oven..Dollar Tree..and more. PROS: I ordered to go at 3 pm today...not very busy at this time. I like that they have a children's menu for my nieces visiting me. They no longer have the complimentary salsa bar...it has been replaced by a full bar instead. One children's plate with enchilada and rice and beans was 7.50. The children's plate with bean and cheese burrito (very big!) Was 6.00. Both my relatives liked it but my niece said the bean burrito tasted like Taco Bell! I did not order any of their adult meals so I cannot comment on that...but they did look good! The food came out quickly. I did get a small basket of chips and salsa to go (free with order). Chips were warm but a bit stale for my liking. Salsa was great and not too spicey. CONS: I ordered a glass of white wine while waiting for my order to be prepared. I get the bill and it was 6.99! I asked the waitress if I had ordered a mixed cocktail how much would it be...only 3.50! I think they have the drink prices backwards! They also have happy hour on Tuesdays.. It is clean and there is outdoor seating. I love Mexican food..this was just average.
The entry and the division between ordering takeout and dining in seemed a bit awkward. Once seated, I was given chips and salsa. The salsa was spectacular. The chips were average and obviously made offsite. The guy managing the front door and takeout orders was also waiting on me at a nearby table. He took my order without issue. I ordered a shrimp fajita salad that was beyond excellent. All of the ingredient were fresh and nicely seasoned. The lettuce, tomato, cucumbers and avacado were cool, crisp and fresh. The fajita vegies were warm, crisp and fresh. The shrimp was plentiful and delicious. It was one of the best salads I have had in many years.
