The food at Casa Maya is definitely made with love, and this is something I can feel and appreciate. Such a sweet, cozy treat. Fresh food, great quality in a nourishing space. LOVE the black bean soup. . .so good! The house salsa is excellent as well and has a sort of rich deep flavor to it. . . The outside seating is also quite lovely, especially on a sunny day. It took some twists and tuns for me to actually find the place, but it was worth it once I finally found it. My experience with lunch as far as service was lacking; when I first arrived I was literally turning in circles by the counter area wondering what to do. I finally just asked someone that was fluttering around if I should seat myself. if it were not for Brett, I would not have been happy with service at all. When I am in the lovely St. Augustine again, I will definitely make a point and drop in for the soup, and try something new. read more

I went right down the middle on this one. The margarita I had was excellent. I would definetly go there for drinks. The food, not so much. I felt the food was significantly over priced. There was nothing phenomenal or even better than your generic Mexican but with higher prices. read more

We had a great time at Casa Maya this past weekend. We did an afternoon of shopping at the outlet mall and were both pretty hungry. But since we were down in St. Augustine area, we thought to eat at a restaurant in the historical district. We sometimes have to remind ourselves that we are so close to St. Augustine, but we hardly ever go there to enjoy it. At any rate, we walked around for a good 30 min or so, looking at menus and deciding where to go. Casa Maya won us over because we both like small, local restaurants and the "Specials" board posted some interesting looking dishes. We must have walked in around 9:15 or so and we opted to sit on the balcony. It was a little chilly, but we both like chilly weather. The nearby restaurant had soft live music and the holiday lights on the street made it a very pleasant dining experience. The service was friendly and prompt. We asked about the specials and asked about the various grouper dishes (I was craving grouper). He answered all our questions and provided his own recommendation. We ended up ordering a carafe of red sangria to share, a bread appetizer, the hanger steak special, and a grouper dish. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We really love the appetizer, which I wish I could remember the name. It was a bread sliced in half with cheese, tomatoes, scallion, onion, and we added chorizo. Our server brought a bottle of habanero pepper hot sauce... it was so yummy. Husband's only complaint was that the steak portion is on the small side. My group and shrimp dish was cooked perfectly and delicious. read more

Yes, it is a bit pricey for what you get BUT it is delicious. I ate octopus ceviche today. Octopus ceviche. So good! Bloody hell. read more

We stopped in for a drink while walking around St. Augustine. The drinks were great and the bartender was very personable and pleasant to talk with. We shared the guacamole which was good. My husband did not like the chips however, I did. He prefers thin and crispy and these are more the size of a tortilla (you get 3) and thick. I thought they were perfect! To each his own I guess !! Great outside seating to grab a quick drink!! read more

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the amazing staff at Casa Maya! The food was amazing, but even more impressive was the service. You made my granddaughter's day by fixing her a special fruit plate - complete with whipped cream! You've got customers for life now and whenever we are in the area, we will be there! read more

Loved the Yucatan salad with blackened mahi! Good food in a cute little place with upstairs seating and friendly service. It does have a little bit of an identity crisis based on the decor. The restaurant calls itself a tequila bar but the atmosphere indoors is far from it. Looks more like a casual lunch spot with an outdoor patio bar. Will have to try the Mexican entrees next time I'm in St. Augustine, but recommend as a good spot for a quick bite! read more

Came here on a Saturday night and it did not disappoint. I had the paella and it was absolutely to die for. Worth every penny! Packed with flavor, protein to include scallops, shrimp, sausage, chicken and fish, AND to top it off - a hefty king crab cluster; I died and went to paella heaven. My husband was definitely envious. He had the hangar steak which was great but no match for my dish! I slopped up every last spoonful of goodness and used the perfectly crisp slices of bread to soak up the broth. Will definitely be back. read more

Good food and service! Enrique did a great job. Top shelf Margaritas and pulled pork tamales were delicious . read more

Amazing and safe environment! The two gentlemen (Host/server) were outstanding- how I wish I could remember their names! It was a special night (just passing through) and they took upon themselves to make our night perfect with letting us sit upstairs under the beautiful lights, and enjoy ourselves with plenty of good and drinks. The streets were amazing to view and people watching while drinking our margaritas put the cherry on top of the cake! Fajitas and margaritas, along with two oyster shooters made it a memorable meal; but most of all, the hospitality of the team made it amazing! Highly recommended!! read more

Went on a Sunday with a large group for lunch and they were very accommodating but the service was fairly slow. They did have great red sangria here and we ordered a pitcher! Overall favorite thing was the ambience, outdoor seating area and live acoustic guitar music. Food: I had the Carnitas tacos which was good overall. The avocados in it were very fresh but compared to other tacos I've had in the past didn't have all the full flavors but adding in the hot sauce and lime brought out more variety in flavoring. My favorite was the chips and salsa appetizer since the chips are freshly baked and huge in size. The salsa dip it comes with is great and has a good mild spice to it. read more

I've seen good reviews here but my experience says otherwise. Margaritas from bar: you can make better ones at home, seriously. Ropa Vieja: EXTREMELY dry and tasteless. For a $20+ dish you would think you can expect more. A dozen oysters: VERY disappointing , we could tell they weren't fresh. Green burrito with skirt steak: fine, but for that price I've had better. The old town makes money from tourists but come on, so much money for a BELOW average meal? Definitely take your money somewhere else if you want good food. read more

Don't leave without ordering the guacamole!! We came here for brunch and started with the guac. I had the Apocalypto which after eating, I'd be alright if the apocalypse took me out right after. (LoL) Seriously, it was delicious. The perfect balance of delicate egg, chorizo, avocado on a fresh soft roll. My fiancé is obsessed with chorizo, and ended up trading me half my sammie for a piece of his chicken quesadilla. The quesadilla was tasty, but in the usual way. This wasn't our first time here and definitely won't be our last! read more

Casa Maya - Apocalypto (I can't remember the rest) SOOOOO Good!!! Egg & chorizo sandwich - Mexican Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

Great spot for live music and an incredible bar man. Marcelo is a cocktail craftsman.

Found this spot while wandering St. Augustine on foot and there was no wait. We were here on Memorial Day, and the whole town was busy. It was dinner for three, my husband,my 9 year old son and myself. The service was friendly and attentive, however my food was not great. My son had a steak quesadilla, which was from the adult menu, as their is no kids menu. My son was happy with his quesadilla. My husband ordered the paella and he was happy with it, he was happy with the amount of seafood in the paella and was overall happy with his dish. I ordered the flank steak and asked for it to be medium rare. My steak was not medium rare, definitely a medium, however it was seasoned well and was not over cooked. My sides however were not good. It was supposed to come with mashed potatoes and broccoli, I got the broccoli but instead of mashed potatoes I received frozen potato chunks which had been deep fried and seasoned so badly they were inedible. They were incredibly salty and garlicky. Not fresh garlic, just like a ton of garlic salt, so much so that it was bitter, and again, terrible salty. There was some parsley as well. No mention was made as to why they substituted the frozen over seasoned potatoes for the mashed potatoes on the menu, my waiter, though friendly, didn't even mention it. My broccoli was cooked well, so not over cooked, but also seasoned with the same over abundant garlic salt that was on my potatos. I had the house made sangria and it was okay, my husband had a local St. Augustine lager and he was happy with it. So overall our bill was roughly $140.00 including tip, and I was served frozen potatoes. The patio is pretty and shaded so that was nice. The water that was provided had a horrible favor of sulfur, just tasted rotten. read more

The quality of food is not worth the money. They charge you almost $5 for chips and salsa which I think they count of many chips they give you. For the prices they charge the chips should be free. The rice included is about 1/4 of a cup. The fajita meats were boiled and not grilled. Also if you split meats they charge you more and do not tell you there is an up charge. Over Rated. Dont know how some people gave them 3, 4 or 5 stars. read more

St Augustin location was very good convenience and delicious. The service was quick and efficient no cimpkains with the food portions and flavir. read more

Stopped at Casa Maya for dinner and ordered the Ropa Vieja and to my disappointment it had no flavor. I did not enjoy the food for which I find expensive to begin with. I expected more flavor in the beef and beans. They also serve small portions. Not going back read more

Sat outside...it was a little warm but over head fans helped. We started with chips and salsa. At $6.95 I figured it would be a large basket of chips. What we got was 6 fired corn tortillas with a small bowl of salsa. The salsa was amazing! It was a way different for chips and salsa. One thing i didnt like was they charge for a refill on both. For our main dish i had the skirt steak tacos with pork rinds. You get three with an avocado sauce and cheese. They were amazing. I wasnt sure until i took my first bite and it was very very good. My wife had mahi tacos and she said they were the best she ever tasted. All in all the food was amazing, the service impeccable and atmosphere was great. The reason for the 4/5 stars is i found it to be a bit pricey for what we had. read more

We came here for Saturday brunch. The place was empty and after our great experience I'm a little surprised by that! We tried some of the standard brunch foods and found everything flavorful and fresh. My hubby normally likes pancakes and they only had the sweet potato variety so he ordered a mushroom quesadilla instead (as a side dish to his huevos ranchero, lol). It was an impressive quesadilla so I had to mention it! The decor is beautiful and modern, the place was clean (including the bathrooms) and the server was friendly and attentive. Next time we're in SA we will be back! read more

Casa Maya - Indoors. We wanted to sit on one of the two porches but it was too hot! - Mexican Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

Beautiful hole in the wall. Shrimp Cocktail is perfection. Great homemade tortilla chips.

The service was bad, we left before actually having an entree. They have a sign in the restaurant for Jai Alai beer (a delicious local craft beer) that says at Casa Maya (see picture). So I'm excited for some craft beer, the menu says ask your waiter about our local craft brew menu, I ask our server and she acted like I was crazy and that they don't have craft beers or any beers on tap. We asked another waiter and he rudely said they just have that sign because it's cool looking. The whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth, so did their chips and salsa so we left. Save your time and money and avoid this place. There's a reason why there is no wait to get a seat at 7pm on a Saturday. read more

Great experience! We went here for my bday with my wife and 5 yr old. Our server was great and all of the food we had was delicious. We tried their guacamole and octopus cocktail appetizers and the flavor and portions were great. We ordered a cheese quesadilla for my daughter and my wife had their green burrito, which she loved. The only reason why they didn't get the fifth star is that they seem to have some weird policies. First is the fact that chips n salsa are not free, not a big deal, but not a plus. Secondly, they advertise lonches, but they are not made with the appropriate bread, huge downside, si ce this essentially makes them just a sandwich. And lastly, they have a policy to charge extra if you want to mix your tacos. None of these things are a huge downside, but they do make the experience a bit off. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area, the location is great, very pretty outdoors with some great margaritas and food items. read more

Honestly the best restaurant in ST Augustine FL. Amazing Mexican food, seafood so delicious. We loved it so much that we went twice during our vacation in Florida. I had lamb for the first time in my life and all I can say it was delicious all the spices and flavor were to perfection. The guacamole is amazing, Everything at casa maya is made fresh. The Flan is on point and the cocktails are made with top quality booze and fresh ingredients. I strongly recommend this place. - @tequilamaestro on IG read more

We had a delightful lunch. Everything was fresh and wonderful flavors. Had a salad with fresh grilled Fish and Hibiscus Margarita yum!!! We brought our puppy and had a great table by the bar. We liked being a bit distanced so we could chat and also enjoy the live music. Server was attentive and kind..brought water for Pup too. We can't wait to bring our family with us next time...this will be a favorite for sure. read more

Solid food. Decent service. A little pricey for what you get but still within reason given the area. Cool vibe outdoors. I'll be back.

Food is below average. Your run of the mill Mexican restaurant is better. The drinks are good and atmosphere is good. But the food ruins the experience read more

We enjoyed our meal very much. We were told it would be an hour wait but it turned out to be about 30 minutes. There is plenty of lounge seating around the bar area so we sat back and relaxed while waiting to be called. When we got seated the server told us that they had got hit and had to go out and purchase more food so they had a hold up on seating people. Service was prompt and the food was tasty and better than some of the higher priced restaurants. I would dodge fly go back. read more

We struck out on our pre-planned lunch options and ended up at Casa Maya. Pleasantly surprised! It looked like a potential tourist trap but the food ended up being pretty good. Very standard Mexican menu - the most unique thing is probably their selection of tortas (I got the chicken with chipotle one and it was great). The service was a touch slow and they served fruit-flavored water, so if that is not your thing, you were warned! Definitely adequate if you need to eat, but I wouldn't seek it out. read more

Service was ok. Our server was nice but the experience was slow. Let's talk food...terrible! We were told they didn't have tacos but we all ordered something that could have easily been turned into a taco. Extremely confusing. Someone ordered a burrito, I ordered fajitas. The fajitas were pretty much all veggies and no meat. The rice was extremely bland. The cocktails were ok. Ordered an oyster shooter that was pretty much just tomato juice and no alcohol. The experience itself was just blah and mediocre. No return for me. read more

Just another tourist trap. Fairly priced Mall Food Court Food. However the chips and salsa were a rip off. Four and yes I said four 5" chips FOR FIVE $ DOLLARS! and a Small side of jar salsa. Service was good that's about all. The outside bartender was rude and needs to learn some soft skills. read more
