My girlfriend and I were looking for a cool Mexican place to try out last weekend and were really bummed when Barrio was booked up! We were going to see a show across at the Dominion Energy Center anyways, so we decided to check out Maya. Our server Mike was awesome! He made sure we always had a drink (he actually started us off with a shot of tequila!) and even made sure we got out on time for our show! He recommend the Bourbon Tacos and lamb sliders and they were so good! I will returning because tonight in the shower my girlfriend wouldn’t shut up about how she wanted more lamb sliders.

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!

Don't waste your time and money coming to this place! Outrageously over priced, service is atrocious, food is mediocre at best, barely anything to choose from on the menu. Portions are TINY. Good service to their customers is not a priority at this place. For being as overpriced as they are one would think that the service and the quality of their food is exceptional but that is not even close to being the case. They even charge for something as customary as chips, which is something that is free in every other Mexican restaurant where the price for the food is a fraction of what they charge at this restaurant for mediocre food. The parking around the area where this place is located is a nightmare. After having driven around in circles trying to find parking I was looking forward to try this place out only to have dealt with such unpleasant experience. Certainly wasn't worth my time and money. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!

Love this place! Beautifully prepared food. High quality. Truly a wonderful experience for someone who appreciates fresh ingredients and healthy eating. I ordered a (beautiful) salad and small plate for dinner and was very satisfied. Will definitely go again!
