Great food and I'm not a Mexican food eater. Fajitas are wonderful. Service is good. Drinks are very good.

We ate here for the first time the other day and it was great. Very fast and friendly service. Clean and vibrant decor. Menu was huge and everything was reasonably priced. The hard chicken taco and chicken enchiladas and rice were great, as was the steak burrito. Complimentary Chips and salsa are great. Beans were so so, not my fave. Would definitely come back! read more

Great Mexican food and fast service! Margaritas are good and they have a decent beer selection.

It was busy but food was fantastic and Josh was super attentive. This place is an absolute favorite. Love the light music and all the freida khalo paintings make it feel super authentic. read more

Have been to this place several times. Food is getting worse. Last time we ate there service was really bad. The owner gets upset when the place gets really busy. He should be grateful that he has the customers coming thru the door. Might try it again but not wanting to give my hard-earned money to someone who seems like he doesn't appreciate it. read more

Great menu with so many excellent options! A lot of variety and plenty of seafood options. Excellent margaritas as well! read more

This place is AMAZING! Never had a bad dish here. The atmosphere is great, the service is wonderful and the food is flavorful! Try the quesabirra tacos--SO GOOD! We don't live in Shell Knob, but we vacation here several times a year and we will always come back to Casa Maya when we want to eat out! read more

Good live music, not loud easily heard. Wait was about 30 minutes. Food and salsa were tasty. Would go back.

Delicious food and good service. We did a to go order and everything was correct and warm.

Excellent food, vast menu! Try the Al Pastor Burrito or Arechigas special. Margaritas are yummy too!

You will like this place. The dining room is a little small but has outdoor seating available (and drive-thru). We are local and have been here 10-12 times, never disappointed in the food or service. It offers a big menu. We, and or guests, have sampled 10-15 different offerings and they're all good. They have a small bar. read more

The service is always friendly and fast. The food is authentic Mexican. And the margaritas are the best.

Great and I mean great Mexican food. Little short on help but who isn't these days. We love to eat here and the owner waits tables, cleans tables, serves the food and takes the money. Just really good Mexican food. read more

Two words. Fajita Burrito! I love it so much I hesitate to order anything else. Service is always good with cute atmosphere.

Great food and good service! Always a consistent experience at Casa Maya. The Margaritas are awesome and Thursday nights have great entertainment. read more

Casa Maya Mexican Grill - a plate of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Shell Knob, Missouri

This place came highly recommended on a local page so we decided to try it out. Have no idea what was going on that day, but the main server/manager or whoever he was, was in a terrible mood. No hello, no how are you. Just looked at us when he gave us menus. Like, what do you want? It went downhill from there. He was just plain mad, annoyed and unfriendly over something and it showed. We drank one margarita each and left. Have no idea if food is good or not. Might try again when get courage up to go again. He was a bit scary. read more

After two visits I feel confident in recommending Casa Maya. Good menu variety prepared well with fresh tasting ingredients. Service was good and had a pleasant demeanor. I am comfortable recommending this restaurant. read more

Well this was a rare find! Stopped on our way through Missouri at this quaint little Mexican Restaurant. Who would expect to find such fabulous Mexican cuisine in the Hills of Missouri. From the drinks at the bar to the queso to the hot combo plates we were delighted.Will return again and again!trips. Kudos to the staff who served with a smile and delight. read more

i've had the same server multiple times here as a local and he is quite literally neurotic. as a service industry worker myself i have never ever seen someone so stressed and rude over such a small restaurant. clearly you are in the wrong industry if you're slamming drinks on tables in front of customers and demanding customers order as soon as they sit down. i would rate this negative stars if i could. literally so embarrassed for that server and the restaurant itself, fire the man, everyone he has served is literally begging at this point. read more

Delicious, friendly, fast and we have leftovers for later! Visiting table rock lake and this place is nearby. The cheese dip is really good tastes like a mix of the regular cheese dip with some pepper jack maybe? Really good! read more

My family has visited Casa Maya multiple times. The food is good and the service is usually good as well. What I've noticed is a consistent pattern of them charging us for anything possible (limes for carbonate read more

Six of us girls stopped at this delicious restaurant and Christina took excellent care of us! Every dish was unique and flavorful. Especially the tamales Andrew Burrito Mexicans!! I highly recommend Christina and Casa Maya. read more

These guys are wonderful. Family owned and the food is very good. Very nice menu. Sometimes they get extremely busy, this should validate my comments about the food being authentic and good. When they get super busy, order a margarita or two when your order is placed. Enjoy the clean restaurant, environment of waitress' working their tail off, and enjoy your drink. Your food will arrive hot and you will enjoy. Not to mention, their salsa rocks!! Chips and salsa are great. We always order a side of flour tortillas (3 to an order), they come hot and go great with the cheese dip. read more

My husband and I ate here while on vacation. Growing up in Texas, we've had our fair share of Mexican food. My husband is half Hispanic and from El Paso so he definitely knows good Mexican food when he has it. The queso was delicious. My husband had the Chile relleno and said that it was one of the best he's ever had. I had the steak enchiladas and they were amazing. There wasn't much to them but the flavor was so good. 10/10 recommend, would go back in a heartbeat. read more

We have a lake house here and we were happily surprised that a New Mexican restaurant opened in the timber rock plaza, but mostly happily surprised by the quality of the food,, amazing. Our primary home is in Southern California and the Mexican food here is outstanding. The service is fast and the staff is friendly and quick. Definitely will be back often. 5***** Greg and Monica read more

What a great addition to Shell Knob. What a jam packed menu- so much variety. Wonderful service, the order was correct, perfectly prepared and simply delicious for all eight at our table. We all look forward to eating at Casa Maya again soon! read more

Consistently great food! I always get the monster chimichanga and love it every time.

Had dinner last week from out of state. The owner was sitting at the front booth with her two young children. As we entered, she told my mother that we could sit where ever. The owner then got up to bus a table and allowed her children to run and jump in the booth. Then the children were running up and down the restaurant screaming loud. I wanted to leave. I worked many years in the restaurant business as a server and screaming children have NO PLACE in restaurants. As a mother, I taught my children restaurant manners. The owner denied that her children were screaming but hey if she wants to be dishonest then karma will catch up to her. Sorry that she had no babysitter but take the children into the back office and allow them to watch a video or color. This type of denial makes for bad business. When a customer complains, you take it and says thanks. LEARN from feedback. I will not go back and I visit the area on a regular basis. read more

Great place for Mexican food. Very pleased with the taste, service, and quality of the restaurant.

Great Mexican food in Shell Knob, Mo at Tablerock lake. My family and friends have ate here on multiple occasions and have always had a remarkable experience. Restaurant is always clean. Owner and staff are very friendly and always trying to make our experience exceptional. Highly recommend Casa Maya Shell Knob read more

This restaurant is fairly new and it's been a rocky start, but that's to be expected. At first the food was really good, but lately the quality has really gone down. It always takes a long time to get your food, so I expect they have little kitchen help. I know I've never seen more than one waitress working. The one I usually see is very scattered and makes a lot of mistakes, then she tells you about all her personal problems that are effecting her concentration. It's always a new weekly drama, causing her to be unfocused. This week we ordered fajitas, and they were really bad. The only reason I rounded up to 3 stars is before it had been good and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's a shame, since even though I've been there several times, it was my husband's first time. Afterwards my husband said he never wanted to go back. It's too bad, since we are local and eat out a lot." read more

Our menus were literally thrown at us and no frozen margaritas really gotten them there dozen times before guy was mad at us for coming in from the get go Sorry just lost my repeat business for good read more

Great food and service. Huge menu and great margaritas served in nice pottery mugs. Also a nice homemade hot pepper sauce to kick up the heat on food and salsa. I like it spicy. read more

great food, however the wait staff was awfully rude. wouldn't look us in the eyes. didn't even greet us. even asking for a water refill was a chore. it was to the point I was scared to ask for anything. I understand places are understaffed and stressful, but at least be personable. read more

This is not your ordinary Mexican restaurant. There are some pretty creative and flavorful dishes. My wife's favorite is the Mariachi Special. This is a treasure. read more

Very good Mexican food! Shell Knob has needed one since they lost their old one years ago!
