A girlfriend and stopped in for drinks. The live band is what drew us in. There was a nice outside bar with room to dance. The drinks about about $10-$12. We loved that we were able to drink and dance outside on a beautiful night. The only warning I would give is to check your tab. We ordered two drinks and when my friend went to pay for them I noticed our total was $64. The bar tender had charged us for 5 drinks. She apologized and fixed the bill and gave us a discount. Now it could have been an honest mistake, but this isn't the first time a bar has tried charging my friend more than what she bought. Just double check and make sure everything is accurate. read more

Casa Maya - Hibiscus Flower Margarita - Mexican Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

The food felt so authentic, our server was knowledgeable and knew just when to check on us, and the ambiance is on point. We ate al fresco, and the covered patio space had fresh flowers on every table and a live musician was playing. Ordered the green burrito--yes, vegetarians--and even the side salad was delicious with plentiful veggies as well as mango in it and some sort of delectable green dressing. Loved this place! Chips are homemade on site, and salsa is so fresh and good!! read more

I really enjoyed dining here this morning. We were coming in for lunch, but they were still serving breakfast. We were hungry, so we had breakfast. We requested the upstair balcony, they honored our wishes. Both of our meals were very good. The service was impeccable. I went to the restroom before leaving. It was decorated very nice. It was also very clean. I look forward to my return soon. The band was great. read more

What a fun relaxing spot to have a BIG Mexican food lunch/dinner! With Live music starting at 6!! We were starving and got there around 5 so the dinner crowd was not there yet. The wait was about 10-15 minutes, and we were seated. The ambiance, a large patio, a soft breeze, it just felt like sangrias, so we ordered a pitcher, figuring we'd get 2 glasses out (each) right? Guess again! The sangria was very good!! And the ice was in the glass, not the pitcher! So we could get more ice on each serving and NOT watered down sangria : what an awesome concept!! After a couple of those glasses we ordered our food. Service was fast so we were glad we had drinks before ordering... but there was still sangria in the pitcher! We got the Hanger Steak that didn't look medium rare at first (it comes cut-up into chunks) but when you cut into the chunks it was perfect... and the chimichurri: wow! Just loved the flavors. The fajitas were bountiful, there was more sangria... the music started... and it was an all around fun experience! read more

My family came here by a recommendation. I seriously enjoyed every aspect of my meal. We sat on a balcony overlooking the quaint side street. With live music down below. I had the Black Widow to drink. And it is the best cocktail I have had in awhile. The spicy salt on the rim contrasted the sweet of the drink. My family shared all of our meals. Carma asada (excellent), chicken quesadilla (very cheesy), guacamole (my brother in law liked it) and the Cochinita Pibil pork was enjoyed by all. If I'm in St Augustine again. I will be back. read more

Casa Maya - Patio - Mexican Near Me - St Augustine, Florida

Probably one of the worst places I've ever ate at. The atmosphere was great but that's about it. Service was terrible. We bought the salsa and "chips" appetizer. They brought salsa and 5 corn tortillas. The water tasted funny, the soda was flat, the alcohol was okay. We never got refills. The food was bland, and dry. I ordered a shrimp dish that was covered in sauce. However, I had to peel my own shrimp....that was covered in sauce. So it became messy. The fajitas were extremely bland. Server never checked on us. I think he knew we weren't happy so he tried to avoid us. We spoke to the staff how we weren't happy and they just shrugged their shoulders. Our bill was $92. I don't mind paying that much when food and service is excellent however this was not the case. Absolutely awful all around. Do not go here. You'd have a better experience going to a local Taco Bell instead. read more

Feb 4 2023 - Overnighter to St Augustine the first time since the peak of the pandemic when the only thing open was the Grilled Cheese shop and maybe the chocolate shop. Attractive menu posted outside and host was very pleasant. Was seated quickly around 1pm. Great atmosphere with guests singing along with the musical entertainer. Courtyard is cozy and felt like there is enough comfortable space between tables. Our female server was very friendly and efficient. We had Shock Top on draft with a bottled Pacifico. My dining partner ordered her go to Mahi Tacos and I ordered the Campechanos Tacos which drew a double take from our server. I asked why and she said it was her favorite but if I didn't like it she would eat it for her lunch. This didn't happen as we cleared our plates. A Mexican place in St Augustine is somewhat counter intuitive but this is a great choice for a delicious meal. read more

Looking for a Spanish Cuisine and was excited because they had a beautiful outdoor dining area. I ordered the Combo Fajitas and would had better at Chili's or Fridays. The extra plate had dried out corn wraps but the flour ones were fresh. It waiter was one of the worst I ever had. No check up and I needed salsa. No refill of my Drink, no napkins. I had to keep asking anyone to find him. First time I also was not going to pay the check because could not get it Ruined the lunch. read more

Super cute restaurant with great food. I'm not sure what people did in the days before there was Yelp. We kind of tested this theory by walking up and down the streets next to St. George to decide where to eat dinner. I'm not completely insane so every time we found a spot with a decent menu I did look it up on Yelp to make sure it was over 4 stars. Some of these places were absolutely slammed and we decided we didn't want to wait. (Btw, most places by St. George Street have at least 4 stars so you have a good chance of eating someplace awesome even if you don't use Yelp.) Since it had been raining all day but was clear by dinner, everyone was choosing to dine outside on the balcony. I hate mosquitoes so out of fear I asked to sit inside. We were the only ones who did that so we were in an empty room by ourselves! I got the octopus tacos and made it a fiesta bowl. My husband got carne asada tacos. There was so much octopus in the bowl! It was huge - I could have eaten it for two meals. The octopus was really tender too. In my opinion, there were too many beans so I ended up eating around them. The carne asada in the tacos were very tender as well. My husband got a side of beans and rice and discovered there were other types of beans than just black beans. He wasn't a fan and said next time he would stick to just the tacos. Overall, it was a great meal and there was no wait. If the weather is nice, definitely take advantage of the balcony. read more

I ate here my first night in Saint Augustine (Thursday 8/12) and it was very yummy! I ate outside with my 2 Great Danes. They had live music and were pretty busy but we were seated right away. My only complaint was we were seated at a high top table and for me personally with 2 dogs that's hard to eat and hold onto leashes while they lay at my feet. I ordered a alcoholic punch drink and it was yummy :) then I had homemade and authentic chips and salsa as well as a mushroom and spinach quesadilla! Everything was super tasty and my food came out fast. Prices were reasonable! The waitstaff were all really friendly! I would eat here again! It is a hole in the wall place (I walked by it 2 times lol) but totally worth it! read more

I honestly wanted to give this place 2 stars, but the bar manager really stepped up his game.... Place gets busy, please plan ahead make reservations, we were a party of 9 we sat outside we knew it was going to be cold we expected that and we also knew food would be delayed a bit.... We asked to have a unused heater to be brought to our table and our waiter stated it was out of gas....we ordered apps drinks and some shots.... We were met with a nice waiter who immediately got our alcoholic drinks and one of our apps and we never saw him again for over 20 mins... we never got our soup, we didn't get our waters and soft drinks it's like he vanished.... I ended up getting my own water by going to the bar. Our food comes out after some lengthy time of waiting. Our server didn't bring it out someone else did which we got our waters from, we advised them I didn't get my soup. We noticed our meats weren't cooked to our desired temps, my shrimp was tough but the sauce tasted good, this tells me our food was done for awhile but never picked up and caused it to get cold and tough.. We ask for tortillas, which we waited for 15-20 mins and brought to us after the food was completed cause we got tired of waiting and just ate.... We were informed the soup would not be charged which is a no brainer since I never got it... this is when things turned for the worse....our waiter came back to just drop the bill mind you we barely or never saw him. We notice the table next to us got the heater we requested the hour before and was in working conditions when our server told us it wasn't.... I get the bill and notice a tip was automatically included... due to the lack of service, subpar food and not favorable atmosphere I wanted the tip to be taken out of the bill... I asked for this to be taken out.. I was met with "oh we are not charging for the soup, sorry!" I knew it was going to be an argument so I asked to speak to the manager.... It took some time, I was told the manager was not there but finally the bar manager who isn't in charge of the food service kindly, professionally and apologetically introduced himself and ask what the problem was.. As I was explaining our server kept interrupting our conversation and trying to defend himself while the manager told him politely to please leave and let him take care of it.. I informed why I felt there should be no tip and stated I didn't want a discount or free food, we would pay for what we consumed but felt the tip should be charged since honestly it was terrible service.... The manager came back and very sincere and apologetic stated he was so sorry and took the tip off and gave a discount even though numerous times I told him it was not my intention... I feel I would of given this place zero stars but the bar manager was the saving grace the guy was beyond amazing and needs to be recognized for his customer service skills. read more

The music, the crowd, the dancing, and the happy bartenders really make this a place to go to. We ordered ceviche, octopus salad, guacamole, oyster, salsa, and quesadillas. We had the traditional margaritas and they were good. The grilled octopus was slightly too chewy but the ceviche made up for it with great Flavors. The mushroom quesadilla was cheesy, gooey deliciousness. It would have gotten 5 stars but I have to say that I just did not like the large tostada chips being served with the appetizers. We will be back! read more

Meh. We stopped in for their Taco Tuesday special (2 tacos & a beer for $10). I had the carnitas tacos and they weren't very flavorful. We ordered a margarita which they didn't bring, at least they didn't charge us for it. The guacamole was good and the service was good. read more

Not worth your time or money. Food is tasteless, I ordered fajitas and it was watery. Horrible.

I decided to have the group come here for lunch, which ended up an earlyish dinner based on a recommendation from one of the servers we met at Coco (a breakfast spot around the corner). I had this place on the list but was thinking of somewhere else for lunch; I'm glad we ended up coming here though because it was very good. Their vegan entree, the Na-Kaab Tempeh was very good. My husband's niece also ordered the vegetarian burrito which also looked good; it could be made vegan by omitting the cheese. The guys both ordered quesadillas for dinner and the octopus Cocteles for a started which had very tender pieces of octopus. The service here was a little slow but very friendly and the ambiance was very nice. Overall highly recommended! read more

Great evening place to relax. They had live music which was a little loud but certainly added to the atmosphere. We had their "home made" sangrias which were good.

If you are going to have a policy where you have to be there when you call your name, make sure you have hostesses that can speak up especially on crowded nights. My friends and I attempted to eat here on a busy Saturday night as a group of 4 and were told it would be 30-45 minutes and we put our name down. We went into the bar and got some drinks and sat in the couch area right by the hostess stand so we would be in distance to hear our name. About 30 minutes go by and we start seeing groups that came after us start getting call but we have been there the whole time so we are confused. My friend goes to the stand and asks and apparently one hostess said they "skipped us" and are 10-13 names after us now, she tries to accommodate and say we will be next but then the other hostess next to her rudely said to my friend "oh I definitely called you and you just weren't here". My friend explained we have been sitting here this whole time and we have been hearing all the names and just havent heard ours. She then replies well are you going to put your name down again? It's going to be another 30-45 minute wait. We decided to go elsewhere, but the whole situation was handled so poorly especially after we already spent money at this establishment and we won't be returning read more

Found this place while walking around St Augustine Rosie was a great server! We started the the house margarita, which was okay not the best. **The Pina Colada's are AMAZING!!!** I'll be back just to have a few! Of course we got the chips and salsa to start with, salsa was goood! The Ceviche was really good and super fresh tasting. I definitely recommend trying the shrimp tacos, you get three with your order. read more

So the menu says the beers are $4.50 but I order 2 beers and it is $12. No check to confirm. Stop trying to rip off tourists. Lists your prices and be honest. Also out of a lot of beers. Frustration. Will not be back. Addendum: challenged the bartender. Said it was tax. Really? Not $9 but $12? $3 in tax? Then said drafts are $6. Ok we got a Negra Draft and Cornona bottle so should be $10.50. $1.50 in tax? She then turned around took a dollar from the register and gave it to me. This is taking advantage of people. Was she going to pocket it? How many people has she done this to? read more

This was an accidental find. My friends stopped at Cousteau's Waffle and Milkshake bar (across the street). I wasn't really in the mood for it and the shop was small and hot inside so I stood outside. Looked across the street and saw the sign for Casa Maya. Several of us decided to head there for a drink while waiting for the others. We walked up to the bar and was greeted by a super friendly bartender. Drinks all around, all served with a smile. When the birthday boy and the others made their way over, we asked for their best tequila to "cheers" our friend. The bartender suggested Esperanto Blanco. It was $13/shot but the glass looked more like we were getting a double. The presentation was cute. Instead of a charcuterie board it was a "SHOTcuterie" board (as my friend called it). Lol Just before we were to take the shot, the bartender said it was meant for sipping! What? That could have burned, so thank you bartender. It was smooth and tasted fruity. It's a new fave tequila. There was live music also! My hubby even got the performer to sing HBD to our friend. It was a lot of fun and the atmosphere was very laid back and relaxing. This place was a great find and we will surely return. read more

It's super good and I love the vibe, usually has live music. They changed the menu though and now most tacos are only available M-Th at lunch which is super frustrating. I've been wanting to try the carne asada tacos for forever. The conchintas and carnitas are awesome though and you can get the tortillas on the side. read more

This place is great, My wife & I had our first date here 5 years ago & we were so happy to see it was still around & had made some changes to its overall atmosphere. Excited to relive that experience, we had live music on the patio & a great server... The place wasn't that busy but without question we had great service, the food was flavorful & fresh. Came out right on time & all together... The drinks were on the lighter side, I expected a bit more of a punch for 10-15$ drinks. I resorted to a double crown on the rocks after my first watered down drink. Other than that, we shared the Salsa, Guac, & Queso Apps 10/10, I had the surf & turf tacos 9/10, My beautiful wife had the Octopus Tacos 7/10 only because they were on the lighter side as well, could've had a bit more weight to them to fill the tortilla. Mom had the Peel & eat shrimp, can't go wrong there 7/10. Overall Food 9/10, Overall drinks 7/10 & we will continue to come back. CHEERS to making memories Casa Maya. read more

We stopped in at Casa Maya for breakfast one morning during our weekend in St. Augustine, and it was a fine breakfast - but one I probably wouldn't repeat (with so many great restaurants in this charming city)! I'm a pretty picky breakfast eater - because I'm definitely not into sweets (French toast, crepes, waffles, pancakes - none of these tempt me at all). My go-tos are Mexican food and Jewish food (probably typical of a Jewish girl from Texas), so I was excited to see this Mexican breakfast menu at Casa Maya: huevos a la mexicana, heuvos con chorizo, chilaquiles (MY FAVORITE), huevos rancheros, and huevos poblanos (mole sauce). The service was good - we were there before it got busy, and we were alone on the second floor until a couple went out to eat on the second floor balcony. But the food was mixed. I was impressed by the chilaquiles (rojo) - served with raw onion and cilantro - I felt like I was at home in Texas. (With three eggs, all of the breakfast dishes are hearty portions.) My husband got the huevos poblanos with a chocolate mole sauce. He was able to eat it, but I was shocked when I tried it. Mole is not an easy thing to make. It's complicated and not all should attempt. And Casa Maya really isn't up to the challenge. Yes, mole negro has chocolate in it. It also usually has some sweet-er spices (cloves, anise, cinnamon). But it's typically balanced with a whole lot of CHARRED CHILES, onion, garlic, peppercorns, etc. This mole was not balanced at all. I took one bit and found it way, way, way too sweet (all chocolate and cinnamon). No heat at all. If I'm ever in St. Augustine again, I wouldn't say that I'd never eat at Casa Maya again. But I certainly would never, ever order the mole eggs. read more

Casa Maya is a hot spot in the heart of St. Augustine. So hot, in fact, that I've never been patient enough to wait for a spot to dine in. Saturday, the tables turned. I'm awarding three stars by Yelp standards, but I'd still recommend them to others. Saturday, Night of Lights, the city was bustling! We put our name in with the hostess, and 30 minutes later we scored a prime rooftop table for four. Shoot and score! St. Augustine Bourbon Old Fashioned - order it, drink it, then order another. Honest to God, this was one of the best Old Fashioneds in recent memory. It felt as if the distillers from St. Augustine Distillery trained the Casa Maya bartenders to pour the perfect concoction. Stellar job, guys! Drinks came out quickly, but the food took foooooorever to appear. At least an hour wait. Unfortunately, our server who started off strong started to grow impatient and stressed as the night went on. When the food came, the table became silent, and we dove right in. White Wine Mussels - a must order! The mussels themselves were plump and tender. The broth light, full of garlic aroma and white wine reduction. Bread points dipped in the sauce made for the perfect bite. On this night, Matt was 2/2 with his orders! The rest of the table was rather disappointed with their meals, especially considering the price point of their dishes. $16 for a veggie burrito, $26 for hanger steak, etc. Their bills racked up quickly. As a diner, you expect more when you (obviously) pay more. I want to reiterate that my dishes and drinks were fantastic, and I recommend anyone who visits Casa Maya to order them. Also, the outdoor patio is gorgeous and fun place to live it up with your friends. In my opinion, the service and premium prices should be reevaluated to keep in line with the elegant appeal of the restaurant. I think with a few minor tweaks, Casa Maya has potential to be a total home run! read more

Casa Maya is a great stop in the historic area of St. Augustine. The casual ambiance inside & out make this a fun and cozy place for food and live music. The rooms inside are quaint as it is the inside of a house. The upstairs front porch offers a great perspective of Hypolita Street. The courtyard looks fantastic. Two full bars and tons of greenery flecked with flickering lights, make dining al fresco super fun. There's a stage with live music too. Our server could not have been better. We couldn't decide where we wanted to sit and he was very patient with us as we decided. Once upstairs out on the front porch, we heard the band's music wafting up to us. We got excited and moved downstairs. We sat in the back but the garbage from the next door's parking lot wafted over so we moved to the front of the courtyard. Our server took it in stride. Love him! The chips and guacamole were fantastic. The chips were large tortillas that we broke up ourselves. We also ordered a variety of tacos and loved them all. Our margaritas were yummy too!! Overall, Casa Maya is a great casual spot, with a lively bar and patio. The service and cuisine sold me on a return visit. read more

Casa Maya is the perfect example of the 3.5 star restaurant. The food is a solid 3 but the staff, particularly the bartenders, are better than that. Highs, the carne asada. Green burrito. Salsa and guac appetizers. Tequila! Lows, I was not impressed with the fish tacos. Why visit? Great ambiance in the middle of old St Augustine. Did I mention the terrific selection of tequilas? Pricing is very reasonable. read more

The atmosphere is nice, definitely sit on the balcony if you can. The server was great and the food came out quickly (perhaps a little too quickly if you're looking for an authentic paella). The Ceviche was pretty solid. The tres leches cake has almost no flavor, would not recommend. read more
