Phenomenal food, they have a ham/chicken/bacon and pineapple Fajitas that are to die for. The whole family enjoyed all our meals even the chicken fingers. Sorry no pictures because we devoured it so fast. read more

Had the Quesobirra tacos at the recommendation of the bartender. Some of the best birra tacos I have had. Salsa and margaritas (which are the foundation of any Mexican restaurant) need a little work read more

Not my first time coming here. Service was amazing As always. Usually I get fajita nachos and those are amazing. Decided to just get tacos, they are okay. Flour or corn option, which is awesome. Chicken wasn't very seasoned. Taco was overall okay but not great. Salsa and bean dip were good. Tastes homeade read more

I went here for a class trip for our spanish class today. Not only was the food delicioso, but the service was excellent. Our table had Delfino as our waiter and he was very friendly, happy, and funny. Delfino joked with us throughout the afternoon and stayed happy the whole time despite 80 high schoolers. I had the Tacos Carbon and it was an amazing lunch. 100% recommend for others!! read more

On a recent trip to Green Bay, my family suggested this place, and I was a fan from the start. With a faux Aaron Rodgers to greet us at the door, there was a high tone set from the start! The food, margaritas and service were absolutely too-notch. Before tip, our bill was $80, which was super impressive since we were three adults and two kids for lunch. We added a pitcher of margaritas, two milkshakes and a side of guacamole, so for this to come in at what it did was really something. The ambiance is lively, and again, superior service from our server. I'm a fan and hope to get back there when I'm back the area. read more

Who ever said this is the best Mexican restaurant needs to experience a bit more. I ordered the chicken and avocado burrito. Essentially unseasoned chopped chicken, avocado, smothered with queso and sprinkled with cilantro in a flour tortilla. Nothing special. I'm not sure what the browning iceberg lettuce with sour cream is supposed to bring! I can tell you at least 8 better burritos in northeast Wisconsin than this place. Service was super quick. read more

I have visited El Maya a few times over the last ten years or so whenever I have been in town to visit family. This was my first visit to their new location, since they moved out of their gas station location (gas station Mexican did have a nice ring to it!). I ordered the Mazatlán Combo, which was a seafood enchilada and shrimp quesadilla. The shrimp in the quesadilla were HUGE and fresh and flavorful. The enchilada was also delicious and hit the spot. There was plenty of food and I struggled to finish my plate. My dining companion ordered the enchiladas mexicanas and he really enjoyed them. El Maya is a solid place for simple and delicious Mexican fare with good service. I can't wait to return next time I'm in town! read more

Takeout review: we stopped after running errands and wanted to take the food home. The greeter/host was super friendly, cleared a spot at the bar for us to site while we looked through the menus and waited for our food. The menu is quite extensive, but easily divided/marked so you can find what you want fairly easily. It only took about 10 minutes for the food to be made, and the host put some extra chips and salsa in the bag for us. Bonus: they have horchata, which is hard to find in Green Bay, and it's good. We all enjoyed our food as well; I had the chicken flautas and they were cooked well. One minor downside: I wish it had come with some rice or something on the side for a little bit more, it was just the flautas. Minor complaint, though. Overall, great takeout option, and I definitely plan to go back for a sit down meal when I'm back in town! read more

To find decent Mexican food this far north is a blessing. I've eaten here three times, each time has generated a welcome surprise. The owner and waitress are very good. They understand customer service and quality food. I had the grilled chicken margarita. Grilled chicken breast smothered with cheese. Tons of choices. read more

Stopped in for the first time tonight. My wife had the chimichanga mix, it had shrimp, chicken, and beef. She said it was delicious. Of course it came with the requisite Spanish rice, refried beans and baby guac salad. I ordered shrimp fajitas with a side of guacamole. Absolutely excellent. Fajita vegetables were cooked to perfection. Side of guacamole was huge, and ranks right up there with some of the best guac I've ever had. Reasonably priced, attentive wait staff. Will be back soon. What a Gem for DePere! read more

Just okay. Decent Mexican food with great and attentive service. Smells kind of funky when you walk in but after a while, I got used to the smell. Complimentary chips, salsa and beans. Price and quality of the food was fair. Not my first choice for Mexican dining in GB. read more

Stopped in here after a long day at work to visit our favorite waiters there...and also to have some great food again. Was a Tuesday about 5:30pm and we were seated right away. I do wish El Maya had salted tortilla chips...one could probably argue thats not authentic, but i gotta have my salty chips...I just gotta! :) Ordered the queso fundido, which is always amazing. A couple of margies, which are always on point awesome. The blend of cheese, mushrooms and chorizo has such a unique fabulous flavor. Hubby had the nachos and I had ordered a couple ground beef tacos, will definitely be back. I do hope they tame the lighting in there, its way too bright inside. The one thing we loved about the last location was the cozy atmosphere when you walked in. read more

Our favorite Tex-Mex location. Great queso dip with your chips, just don't let it cool too long. Also ask for the spicy salsa if you like a little kick. Our favorite dish is the Big Burrito, but come with an appetite for that one. Also, warning that if you get a large Margarita, you'll want to Uber or have someone else drive. This location is moving and you may want to check to make sure they are open in their new place before you make plans to meet here. read more

New location with larger dining area. Bright and clean with festive decor. Still have the complimentary chips and salsa while you wait for your food, generally a short wait time. I prefer any of the combination plates which gives a nice sample of several entree's. If you are seated toward the rear of the dining area, there seems to be a lot of noise coming from the kitchen, which wasn't a problem at the old location but is here. read more

This place is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! We go as often as we can! Complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip get the meal started right. Each and every dish that we have tried has tasted great! My favorite is the chimichanga and my husbands favorite is the fajitas. We were so hungry last week when we went, that I forgot to take pictures of our meals! We are very happy to find out that they can stay in their current location until the end of the year! read more

We love this place and have been going for years. It's as much the service as it is the food! The servers recognize us and still remember us even after we have moved to Florida and only get to visit a few times a year. This is usually the first if not one of the first restaurants we always stop at when we come back to town. Great food, great service and fast! read more

Always enjoy the food here. Great service, well managed. Love the enchiladas, Big Burrito(bring an appetite), Chimichangas. The sides are excellent, the rice, beans are very good too. Chips and salsa always served before your entre. read more

I walked in and was greeted right away, I was placing a to go order for lunch. They immediately took my order and I swear it was less than 5 minutes and my order was ready. They also hooked me up with plastic utensils, chips and salsa! I've never eaten here before but it will definitely be a regular attendee! Nice work! Friendly fast staff and good food!!! Thanks!! read more

Rode past this place a few times over the years and decided to try it. I will start by saying I will continue to drive by. This food and portions were terrible. I had a chicken and avocado burrito it was very bland not to mention it was the size of one of those frozen store burritos. For $12 I could of went to several other Mexican places in town and got a burrito 3x that size and it would have been delicious. Then you get the free bag of stale chips and bland salsa. They should keep the chips and salsa and maybe make bigger portions. I will not be returning. read more

I have been coming here for years. It's super close to my home. I don't know if it's because the pandemic but the service has changed from ok to much less than. The food atmosphere is still good but not great for the new standard of inflated pricing. read more

Summary: Super Bland. Confusing food preparation, not recommended. Review: Chips and Salsa: the complimentary chips and salsa also came with a bean and cheese dip. The Salsa was super mild and tasteless. This is coming from a guy who frequently buys the giant Pace Mild Salsa plastic jug about once a month. I'm not a spicy guy. I didn't care for the bean & cheese dip, but I appreciate the restaurant offering a free alternative to the standard salsa. Ground Beef Burrito: Two main issues, First the meat was tasteless, again, i'm a mild mexican food guy but this was utterly tasteless. Second, the food preparation was odd the burrito had the just the meat inside, and the lettuce, One and only One slice of tomato, cheese,, beans, and sour cream were put on top. I didn't understand the concept of an open faced burrito. Churros and ice cream dessert: The churros were tasty, but were served cold, like were in the cooler. Since when are churros served cold?, They're usually under a heat lamp. Again, odd food preparation. I probably won't go here again. read more

My boyfriend and I used to live on the East side of Green Bay where all the good Mexican food was but recently moved to De Pere and thought we could give this place a try because it's so close to home. Never again. The service was okay, they were fast but all the servers looked like they hated working there. I ordered the enchiladas suizas which is usually a safe dish for me and I didn't know if I had COVID or something because there was absolutely no flavor. Both the salsa on the table and the salsa on my enchiladas where watered down. My boyfriend ordered the burrito, Taco and enchilada combo and when he received it ...it was a hard shell taco like the one from Taco Bell. But at least the ones from Taco Bell have flavor. And the drinks. My to go to is a Long Island iced tea and it was horrible. They couldn't even make that right. The only thing that was good was the frozen lemonade that my boyfriend got. We finished the food because we don't like wasting and it was pricey for the quality of food. Nothing hurts more then spending money on bad food. read more

Went to lunch with a few associates. The atmosphere was good, a very clean place that looks and smells nice. There's a cool vine growing across the ceiling that apparent is all one plant, but it criss crosses the whole place and has been growing for years. I ordered the lunch special #1 - chile relleno, a taco, and guacamole salad with refried beans. The food tasted good, for the price I was a bit disappointed with the quantity and quality. The chile relleno was a good flavor, but not at all crispy and the cheese was bland. The taco was fine, but it was a hard shell and I didn't know I had to ask for a soft shell. The guacamole salad was really just shredded iceberg lettuce, a spoonful of guac, and a slice of tomato. The refried beans were good. Once again, all decent flavors, but nothing impressive and not a very filling meal, considering it cost $8. Service was prompt and friendly, and we never had to look for a server to get us extra water. The chips and salsa at the start we're fresh tasting. All in all, not outstanding, but a decent experience read more

Great food, fast, and great service as always. Very inexpensive as well!! As a family we love to eat Mexican. My daughters for years have referred to this restaurant as "THE Mexican Restaurant" because it is everyone's favorite. My husband and co workers come here frequently for lunch as well. Food is always fantastic and service is very speedy. Chile verde is great. My girls love the fajita taco salads in a perfect size mini shell for them. My favorite is the fajita taco salad. Queso is tasty too. Their chips, salsa, and bean dip are complimentary and always tasty! I love getting a margarita and my girls get frozen lemonade. Who would have thought that a little restaurant connected to a gas station would be this great!!!!! read more

This one of my favorite restaurants. We did takeout and as usual was excellent! Always delivered with a smile and on time.

How is it that you find great Mexican restaurants in the oddest places. Don't be fooled buy this one in a strip mall at the end of a grocery store. Great service margaritas too notch I can vouch for the chimichangas and the enchiladas fantastic also very good salsa read more

This was my first visit and the food was good. I got the mini burrito. There was no shortage in ingredients, but I felt the quality of the ingredients were not there. Portions were generous and the service was GREAT. Serves one of the largest Margaritas I've seen-and it was tasty. Recommend you try El Maya for yourself; I think you will be satisfied with the food and the GREAT service. read more

El Maya Mexican Restaurant - Burrito, Mmm!!. You won't leave hungry. - Mexican Near Me - De Pere, Wisconsin

We tried a newer delivery service in town and this was one of their options. Taking into consideration that it was take out, plus delivery time, I still have a hard time giving this place anything but a meh at best. Salsa was very bland, chips were stale, and fajita meat and vegetables very poorly seasoned. The flour tortillas were on the thick side and reminded me more of the packaged ones from the grocery store than restaurant quality. Friend had the seafood chimi, but he was also unimpressed. On a positive. the presentation was nice and the portions were large. They have a huge menu to choose from. Overall, this place is similar to most of the other Mexican restaurants you'll find around Green Bay and not worth going out of your way for. I would like to say I'd try again and dine in, but I just don't know that that'll be happening any time soon. read more

My coworkers just ordered lunch from this restaurant, and let me say I was extremely disappointed! I ordered the "Speedy Gonzalez" lunch special. It was a taco and an enchilada with a side of beans. This was the greasiest meal I think I have ever eaten. I could only eat about half of the enchilada, and two bites of the taco because it was such a greasy, sloppy mess. All I could taste was grease and salt! Their fried beans were "soupy" . I don't even know how they got that way, and I probably don't want to know. The meal was only $4.99, and now I know why! It was inedible. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Just a tip to the El Mayan "chefs", don't be afraid to drain the fat after you cook your meat, and don't be afraid to season your food with something besides salt! read more

I had the big burrito. Food was good, service was very fast, attentive, and friendly. This will always give a place an extra two stars for me as so many places lack good customer service. Drinks were good, guava margaritas are always fun to try. It probably compares with most local Wisconsin Mexican restaurants but over all it is a good place. The bean dip that comes with the chips was excellent and is worth trying. If I lived in the area I would probably stop in from time to time. read more

Went there with my wife for an early dinner after reading other reviews. We were seated right away and served their complementary chips and salsa and bean dip. Our waiter must have just been going on break because I noticed him put a plate down on the empty table behind us and few minutes he sat down to eat. About 5 minutes later another waiter came over to take our order. I ask about the monster burrito and he assured me that it would be enough for me and I would not leave hungry. My wife ordered a shrimp chimichanga I had the burrito. Our order came out in about 10 minutes and hot. The burrito was servers on a skillet and when I cut into it it sizzled on the hot skillet everything was good but I would recommend asking to leave the orange looking sauce off the burrito. It seemed to be a little over powering of the other flavors in the dish. Overall the service was good and friendly staff I would try again. read more

Love the burritos and chimichangas..but seriously get the massive margarita. They always take care of you and also have a very inexpensive menu for take out. read more

Really enjoyed both the atmosphere and the food. It's a little misleading because it is located in the same building as a gas station. One might think "I'm not going to even try it" because of the location. But that would be a great mistake. Very good food and they do serve tequila. I ate the shredded beef Chimichanga. I have taken coworkers here and they were impresssed with the seafood though I myself do not eat seafood. read more

Good Mexican food fast. Great location right off the highway, I oftentimes have business lunches here due to the location. It can be a little busy during the lunch rush. read more

Ordered eat street, didn't get one of my items I ordered, EatStreet guy said he would call them and another driver could bring it. I waited an hour and didn't see anything so I called and they said they didn't have that item on their menu (chimichanga, something every Mexican restaurant has on their menu), then changed their mind and said they do and they missed it on the order and to call the next day and "work a deal with their boss". Paid for something, didn't get it, and now I'm expected to call and deal with it somehow, not even worth my time. They wouldn't give me a refund and said I can get a gift card. What a joke. read more

Disappointing meal from the moment I sat down. The chips had an odd flavor to them, and the salsa was very bland. I don't like spicy foods, so for me to say something was bland....it's bland. I ordered the fajita chimichanga, and it had been prepared poorly. It was really just a burrito that had been microwaved with some cheese sauce on it. It had not been deep fried like a chimi normally is. Also I felt it was way overpriced. $12.00 for this? No. Definitely would not recommend it, and definitely won't be back. read more

Not bad but not great. The service was good and they were quick to bring chips, salsa, and refried beans, which I've never seen before. The food was a little bland starting with the salsa. We had a chimichanga, which was not crisp on the outside and the cheese sauce on top was a little runny and not as abundant as you normally see. We also had a few enchiladas, which were average. I guess I didn't look that closely since we shared means but I expected the enchiladas to come with rice and beans. The chimichanga did, which was enough for us to share. Not a strike against them. The kids each had a cheese enchilada off of the a LA carte menu and shared the rice and beans with us. They had crayons and coloring sheets for them. It is a little dark in there in the evening. They had bright furniture and music play so the atmosphere is good. Prices were average. Would I go back? Possibly but I want to check out other options first. read more

So good..better than most every other Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at in the area. Margaritas on point
