    I came here finally wanted to go in ever since it opened, haven't so I had a lot more time today so I went and ordered to go and inside was lovely clean and beautiful. The server who took my order was friendly. I ordered Tortas of the lunch menu with steak and than I also got the tacos de carne asada for my brother. Took it home and the torta the bread was flat, but it was good. The salsa was tasty and good flavor. The chips were ok and than my brother said the tacos were good and the rice was good as well. Took 10 minutes wait, but did not seem long will go back to try the other items on the menu. Though when I looked on the menu on website the lunch price for the tortas was not the same as I ordered at the restaurant, but it was fine I had enough. Menu needs to update the prices though to reflect.

    I came in and had chicken chimichangas, and it was delicious. If I lived in the area, this would be my spot. The customer service was on point, and the staff made sure my chips and salsa stayed topped off. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

    The birthday cart

    OK! Aim not too sure how to put this experience into words. So this is the place my bestie chose for her birthday. Let's start with our server. She was very pleasant and attentive we kinda figured out she was a little new because other staff came over to ensure we had what we ordered or needed. A few of us had drinks. I chose the Dirty Shirley which is the Vodka added version of a Shirley Temple. Well that was a horrible choice as it tasted like Robitussen DM. So that didn't get finished so never order that drink... now the reason I gave them 3 stars is because we went to use the female bathroom and how can i describe it. You ever talk to someone that had rotting stomach bad breath like that not eating onions bad breath that's something rotting deep down in your stomach bad breath. Well that bathroom smell like the pipes were rotting from the inside. The whole time I was in there I became a mouth breather. Then I thought what if it's something airborne OMG! How am I going to breathe through this. Grand Maya please get your pipes fixed, because other than that you could've had 41/2 stars. Fix it Jesus!

    Everything was great from the servers to the food, definitely a relaxing experience to take my kids out and enjoy. The music was not overpowering and the food came out great!!

    Fried Avocado Tacos Carne Asada Quesadilla

    I visited Gran Maya twice over two weeks. I can say I enjoyed both of my visits. Pictured below is the Fried Avocado Tacos and a Steak Quesadilla. After all of the toppings the tacos were great (minus the store bought barely toasted tortillas). The quesadillas tasted fine but nothing crazy to make it stand out from other Mexican grills. Service was odd however, I was seated by one person, drink brought by another, third one took my order, and a fourth for the bill. Regardless, I was always taken care of with refreshments and check ins. This restaurant seems to be on the slower side both times I've visited but with that being said the staff is still constantly moving whether it be cleaning, stocking, or checking in on customers. Restaurant was very clean and felt pleasant to be in as a result. I believe the restaurant could possibly benefit from things such as fresh made tortillas in house. Or perhaps a better structured staff. With all that said I definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoy a Mexican grill.

    I really enjoyed my experience at Gran Maya. My friends and I showed up at lunchtime just about an hour after opening. The parking lot was big and empty so we were not sure what to expect. Fortunately, we were met with smiling faces and were seated immediately. Our server, Isabela, was great and helped me choose something from the menu. Before she left for her break, she communicated to us that we should ask another server to help us, who was very friendly and helpful as well. I got the birria tacos and they were really delicious and filling. While we were eating, many more parties filled the tables and the environment felt much more homey and family-friendly. I loved the food and the music! I look forward to coming back again.

    There is no wait time. Fast service. It is not as good as my favorite Mexican restaurant Food is a little on the greasy side when it is steak. Fajitas taco salad was just Ok. I have had a few things and it seems a bit smaller and I am always comparing it to my favorite place. There always seems to be one waiter and they have never been busy. When you don't see cars in the parking lot and it is not busy inside that usually means they are not that good and we have a lot of Mexican restaurant in this area. It is a big restaurant. We have tried them a few times because the first time we went was not great. I like their white sauce for dipping but their salsa is a bit bland and they have thick chips and they toast them a bit to much. Well the best thing I can say is that they can improve and I will be happy to hopefully increase stars just because they are the closest to our house. So far they are not as good as my favorite

    Good Mexican restaurant!! This restaurant is still fairly new. We came to check it out for dinner and it was pretty empty. This is a pretty big restaurant, lot of tables available so bigger parties would have no issue. We came with friends so there was about 15 of us. There was no wait and they were able to get a nice long table for us to sit together. We ordered apps, drinks and dinner which didn't take long. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We would come back again to try other items on their menu.

    I had high hopes but sadly did not like the food or presentation. Pros.....Parking lot, clean, I liked the inside and decor. Service was good. They have HH, lunch specials, vegetarian options and a kids menu. I sat at the bar. The cucumber jalapeño margarita was good. The salsa was good with the chips. The chips were ehhhh. Definitely not made in house and bland. They were warm which I liked. I finally decided on the Fish Tacos and they came with rice. 1st the presentation. Boring and I have never had tacos served like this. Never! A piece of fish in a tortilla with everything on the side. And it was very bland and fishy at the same time....if that makes sense. The rice was way way overcooked and was mushy and bland. I had 2 bites. Sadly, I don't think I would return or recommend. There are so many Mexican restaurants in this area that I prefer. Maybe I ordered the wrong item....I don't know but I didn't care much for the food.

Here's the deal: Jessy's is located in a small shopping strip. While the building is a little older I did not think l it run down or in a part of town that I would consider questionable at all. I saw at least one review that noted this- could not disagree more., nothing to fear here. Plenty of parking and it's free! Once inside the restaurant is medium sized with seating for at least 15 parties and tables that can accommodative larger parties, 10+ people. There are two order stations at either side of the restaurant - one for hot food the other for ice cream and desserts. Service was friendly and attentive. You can choose to self order for takeout or be waited on. While staff wait on and bring you food and drink, pay is self pay at the food order counter. The menu is larger and has something for everyone. Proteins are optional for nearly every dish. The food here is authentic with lots of protections including some of my favorites- Al pastor and chicken tinga. Chips and salsa are scratch made and fresh- very good. We had street tacos which were very flavorful and also scratch cooked including the corn tortillas. Served with traditional hot sauces to add that little extra heat- awesome. The Al pastor was not grilled to get that char that some Al pastor dishes have but was otherwise spot on. Chicken tinga was perfect. If you are looking for authentic Mexican at reasonable prices, this is your place and absolutely worth a few minutes drive over. Hope to see you there sometime- happy eating!

If you're looking for tasty food and a place that offers a little bit of everything, Taqueria Jessy is definitely worth the visit. I'll be back!

We came here to celebrate a birthday, and it ended up being one of those meals where everything just hit. First off, those margaritas are no joke. Massive, flavorful, and strong in the best way. Bonus: they do $2 off specialty margs on Mondays, which is dangerous knowledge now that I have it. I went with the Coco Loco Margarita (1800 coconut tequila, coconut milk, triple sec, and sweetened flaked coconut), and WOW. It was creamy, refreshing, and honestly tasted like a tropical vacation. My friends ordered the House Marg, Peach Sangria Marg and the Spicy Pineapple & Cilantro Marg, all were just as impressive. The spicy one had a great kick without being overwhelming, and the peach option was super smooth and fruity. Before we even ordered, the complimentary chips, salsa, and that famous white sauce came out ... and let me tell you, that white sauce is to die for. I could've eaten that all night. For my dinner, I had the asada enchiladas, and I'm still thinking about them. Perfectly cooked grilled steak laid over cheesy enchiladas with verde sauce, plus rice and black beans. I loved that the steak was on top because once I got full, I could still pick at the protein (elite move). My friends got arroz con pollo, carne asada tacos, and the wildest dish on the table ... the El Molcajete. It came out sizzling in a stone bowl loaded with shrimp, beef, chicken, chorizo, cactus, and all the fixings. We all shared bites and it was unreal. We ended the night with the staff singing happy birthday and completely embarrassing my friend with a sombrero and a candle in his shot. Incredible. Definitely will be coming back, especially for that margarita deal and birthdays!

    My sister and I decided to try this spot because we saw that they had special's and it was taco…read moreTuesday. When we walked in we were greeted by the bartender. Happy hour was 3-6pm I think, and there were 2 taco specials on the board. I'm not sure if it was valid or not.. There was one person at the bar taking orders, serving drinks, and pretty much running the place. She was very busy. The anxiety of watching her try to handle everything made me a little uncomfortable. She was doing her best, and kuddos to her for not flipping a table and walking out. She was nice, but she asked us every 3-4 minutes if we knew what we were ordering. It was very aggravating. I don't think she realized after several times we were over it. The inside is pretty much a bar setting with a few booths. It's very dated and low-key kind of gloomy inside. I'd say this is a bar for locals, not really a restaurant. It's definitely the kind of food you could eat if you had a few drinks, maybe. But sober, heck no!! Lol. Ugh. I was excited to try them because they have some 5 star reviews, but it wasn't what I expected. When it was time to eat she went and got the cook from outside. We ordered 2 burgers and fries, and chicken nachos. We left and came back to pick up our order and the seats at the bar was packed at this point. The waitress met us as we walked in, with our food. I was hungry, so I tried the food in the car. The burger was definitely a frozen patty and thick as heck. It looked decent kinda sorta, in a way, maybe, just a little bit. Idk what to say. The fries were crispy but awkwardly greasy!! There was one tiny tomato on my burger and a huge onion that was a little moldy. I've never seen someone use a slice of onion this big on a burger. The burger definitely needed seasoning. I think if it had flavor it would have been decent. I'll give the burger a 4/10. My sister got the chicken nachos and she was not happy. Whatever mystery beans they had made were disgusting. They tasted old or something was off about them. The guacamole was a little sour tasting also, and the chicken was flavorless. She tried so hard to make it work, she even re-cooked the beans and it just didn't help. 2/10!!! She spent $25 and felt it was the worse decision she made all day. I wish I was exaggerating or something, but this is actual factual. The prices are reasonable, I'll say that. But it's definitely certain things to stay away from on the menu. I don't think we'd ever return. Maybe the tacos are better than what we had ordered. If you're looking for a drink maybe things would be better. I think they specialize in drinks over food!?

It's a bar a little dive kinda spot I had ordered the bacon cheeseburger for my boy, the grilled chicken nachos for myself. I can appreciate that they didn't put the toppings on the nachos or burger. My sister has gotten some kind of burger also lol. I get dropped off gave my son his food looks like it's about to be good lol until he heats it up for a second, I put all the fixings on my nachos right. Believing things was about to hit smh nope.. my kid said mom I appreciate you bringing me something to eat home but.... The burger tastes like nothing was like chewing sawdust bacon was the only thing to taste alright, fries were ok though. now lol for my nachos looks can be deceiving. My lettuce was brown and wilted, was supposed to be like a refried beans I guess ‍ they were kidney beans looked those. When i say they smelled like I was taken back by the look of things but when my crazy self tasted that mess my lawdt smh had my stomach doing flips. Also the guacamole tasted like that was old and sour. I have had guac with too much lemon or lime juice in it, this was like past its time only looked ok due to the lemon juice or whatever. Will not be doing that again. The ambiance was chill a few of those slot games bar area in the middle of the place a few tables around it nothing to really hype up. I will say even though we didn't care for what we had, maybe it was a bad day. ‍ Who knows other things may be good if we stop past that beauty store again, I'd go and try the lumpia or fried fish taco. Was told that they taste really good. lol honestly y'all go be the judge for yourselves could have been an off day.
