we went yesterday 09/30/2026 for my birthday. Our server took our order (California burrito , kids cheese burger, an ala cart chili relleno and Hawaiian fajita food came out, but my wife never received her burrito. The sever never came back and checked after the runner handed out the food, not even knowing the burrito hit the table. 10 minutes go by, no burrito. I found a hair in the child fries and chilli relleno No sever came to check, so I got up and asked another server about the burrito ; which than server came out to tell us it was coming in a couple minutes. Another 10 minutes go back server didn't the burrito didn't check if everything tasted good. I walk back to the kitchen to cancel our burrito and all servers are on their phones. We go there every year for my birthday , but we won't be back read more

El Maya Mexican Grill - Nachos Supreme - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Heard a lot about this restaurant so had to check it out for happy hour! To start, the bartender was the only one working on a Thursday happy hour so the service was a bit slow. He was working so hard to get to all the tables but it ended up taking a while to get a drink. The happy hour deals were awesome - $3 beers, $6 margaritas, and a fee food items like nachos and tacos. The inside is huge and the part has a ton of high top tables. Would not recommend their "standard margarita", it tastes like house made mix. There are two guac options at different prices: one is made fresh at your table and the other was made in the morning. Just get the cheaper one that was made this morning - the fresh was slightly underwhelming. We weren't blown away by any of the food besides the queso - creamy, spicy, and totally worth it. read more

We went there on Cinco de Mayo and the place was festive, the food delicious and the margaritas the best. Try the Pina Colada Margarita....its soooo good! Our table ordered the Hawaiian Fajitas, the Chicken Chimichangas, and the Seafood Enchiladas. The food was Very Good and Hot. The place was busy but service was Very Good. read more

Great food and first time had the best waitress STAY AWAY on Saturday and Friday night; they bring a terrible DJ and it's so loud for no reason. Can't imagine anybody enjoys the music but food was great. Super vegetarian friendly read more

We decided on a trip here while in the Price's Corner area with the family. Someone else here said the free chips and salsa were really good. I must agree. They were pretty darn good and tasty. That same reviewer also made it out like the chips and salsa were the best thing they had. On that note, I also agree. Everything was fine. It was ok. There was nothing wrong with it. But I got the overall sense that everything needed something else. The guacamole needed something. It didn't have much flavor past the avocado. It didn't really have much else at all. My wife's Hawaiian Fajitas earned an A for presentation. I'd say a B- on flavor. Of our two main dishes it was probably the better one. My steak tostadas were again, ok. I sensed the steak wasn't totally its freshest. I found myself eating more of my wife's fajitas instead. Nothing terribly wrong with the place. It's a nice place and the service was excellent. The food won't make me remember it though. read more

Very slow waiting long periods of time for server... waited 40 minutes for food and server checked in with us once. Server's friends came in and they were served right away, mediocre food! Won't be going back hopefully others will not have this same experience especially on a holiday. read more

The food was SO good and plenty of it!! Our server, Veronica was attentive and, professional . Our new favorite Mexican restaurant.

El Maya Mexican Grill - Super delicious Margs - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

This had to be the worst restaurant experience I ever had! I spent over $130 worth of food but they forgot one item. I politely called the restaurant and explained and they refuse to do anything about it. They were rude disrespectful inconsiderate. And when I explained that I would either like a refund for someone else to come out they said it's not their problem and hung up on me. I will never order from here again!!! And in times like these with so many businesses delivering I would recommend you take your business elsewhere. I also found a vegetable label in my food!!! read more

My favorite restaurant for burritos, tacos, and margaritas. Best salsa which is always fresh.

The food here is great. Better than most Mexican restaurants. We got Fisher tacos, they were out of this world. The Texas fajitas are perfect. The steak, chicken, shrimp, peppers, & onions are perfectly cooked. The quality of the food is outstanding, as is the service. This restaurant has served great Mexican each of the four times I have eaten here! Definitely recommend! read more

Great fresh food, Awesome atmosphere, Service was excellent. I will bring the team here again.

Portions a large and filling, sadly I had to take a star off for taste :( Pollo chipotle- was too sweet, someone may have added sugar to cut the tartness from tomato sauce maybe, but it was just sweet and not chipotle Chicken enchiladas- red sauce sadly missed the mark, but the chicken was so delicious!! Rice is perfectly cooked and not crunchy Refried beans were nice and creamy Delivery order even came with a bag of tortilla chips (fries in house) and 2 containers of salsa I'll still order from them again! Maybe add some notes or call in and ask for modifications so the flavors are on point. read more

Sometimes you can hit this place right and get a great meal. Most of the time, it is fairly average. While the portions are large, the taste/quality is not distinguishable from the five or six other Mexican restaurants in the area. They are all rather boring in my honest opinion. This is a great place to go and have nachos and a few drinks. There is nothing objectionable about the food. It is certainly never bad. I have been 15+ times, so despite the rating of a "3," I do keep coming back. I like the people that work there. I like the chips and salsa and the price is never too high. One of my largest gripes about El Maya and almost all Mexican restaurants is the rice and beans. Rice and Beans is probably the most popular food in the world. In the USA we don't eat much of it because we have so much abundance. Why then is the quality served at so many Mexican restaurants so poor? It's like instant rice with frozen veggies and canned refried beans? Does no one have grandma's recipe? Seriously, it is one of my biggest turn offs to have such low grade rice and beans accompanying my dishes. If you are not even going to try, save yourself the time and just throw some french fries on the plate? El Maya's rice and beans are forgettable as well. Why bother? I'd recommend the La Deliciosa plate. The Carne Asada and the Nachos. I can't think of a Mexican place in the area that I like better. read more

Amazing service loved the enchiladas My mom loved the wall art! She had an amazing birthday dinner read more

Absolutely Fantastic. This is our new favorite restaurant for Mexican Food. First time here yet will not be the last. The Ambiance is authentic and warm. We went for lunch, 11-230 lunch specials are phenomenal, seriously. We all took home leftovers. We were promptly greeted and brought chips/salsa. Chips were fresh and oh so good. Salsa was too spicy for me, I'm a wimp. Taco's are delicious, really delicious! The lettuce was so fresh, I wanted more. I had a burrito, a taco, and rice plate. The rice is so good. The beef was so tender. I cannot eat spicy, these were perfect. 3 styles of hot sauce on the table for anyone who wants to make it hotter. At 3pm the bar was hopping, the margaritas looked amazing. I can honestly say I will not be driving to Hockessin for my Mexican fill anymore. The waiter was very friendly, they all were. They all helped one another out. I have a lunch date with a friend next week, I already know where we are going. If you haven't been, GO!! read more

Just finished eating here. My mom and I shared the Enchiladas Maya and Chile Vallarta. Both were very good and came with hearty proportions. It was also nice to get chips and salsa right when sitting down. The interior decorations were fun and they had regular seating as well as a room for parties. After the meal we got the churro ice cream bowl. It was nothing revolutionary, but it was quite tasty. I would definitely consider eating here again with friends! read more

Maybe it's because I come from Texas and the Mexican food there has me spoiled! I would say the food was bland no flavor in my opinion. The serve is okay other then I haven't seen my waiter since he took our order someone else's brought us the food so no checking in with us. The salsa that comes with the free chips are very good thow I would like to point that out but nothing about the visit makes me want to come visit again read more

I have recommended and ordered the guacamole many times, yesterday I ordered the lg guacamole for a party I was going to and picked it up on the way. Walking into the party I took the guac out of bag and discovered it was less than half full!!! It was embarrassing! I called immediately and was told that the mgr wasn't there, to call back today, which I did and the mgr told me she was the person who made it and although it didn't look full she followed the directions??? Next time I will go next store to the Acme and twice as much for the same price and their guac is just as good and fresh! read more

Food is AMAZING! Just a lil too noisy. Anyone interested in good Mexican food will be impressed.

Ok restaurant, service a bit slow, and I don't like that nobody welcomes you at the entrance, you just walk in and sit your self. Food is ok , nothing special. Price are very similar to other Mexican restaurants. read more

We used to come here very often. Tonight we were seated at a table that was dirty and had dead flies. We moved to the next table and same finally the third time we decided to leave. If it was just dirty is fine but the dead flies I couldn't do. The hostess was frustrated we kept asking to move and tried to place our menus down and force us to sit at the final dirty table. We decided to leave. I called and spoke with a manager to make sure they were cleaned because of the possible confusion and language barrier. He cut me off mid sentence and asked if we were still there or if we left.I advised we left, so he said thank you bye and hung up. read more

Just spent almost $50 and they forgot two items out of the grande meal that we wanted check your order before you leave out. But besides that the food was good. But there was two missing chile rellenos and we were too exhausted after work to leave back out of the house to come complain and ask them to fix it. We will try them again so that I can give a better review next time. read more

Once again, I drove 25 miles to take my sister to this EXCELLENT Restaurant. Today we had Lunch Fajitas (steak) YUMMMMM! I could cut the steak with my fork, seasoned perfectly, Peppers and Onions were cooked perfectly! My lunch portion was so big that I took almost half home to enjoy for Dinner. Six hours later, I'm still not hungry, but I am still smiling! Our favorite girl, Veronica was off today, but Hector did a great job of serving us. ( very handsome, too, just sayin') If you don't try this place, you are SERIOUSLY missing out! read more

We have lunch once and a while at El Maya - food is always good, service also is very good. I recently left behind my perception ray-ban sunglasses - i say this only to Emphasize the cost of these particular glasses.. I didn't realize this until much later in the day and was out of the area for two weeks after that day. When I finally found the time to return - to my surprise they had held them safely waiting fir their owner to return. This level of Integrity is Rarely found. It had been at least two weeks before I returned and expected I would not find them. ' pleasant surprise" So here's the deal_good food _quality service and integrity this is my restaurant going forward. Will be visiting this restaurant for more often because I patronize quality establishment. Big thank you to the staff and management for running an exceptional business WLP read more

Great service, authentic Mexican food. Been here plenty of times and doesn't disappoint.
