    Margarita
    Sarah K.

    We love Gran Maya! All of the food that we've had is delicious and they have really good margaritas. It is our go-to for Mexican food in Ghent! On weekends, they will bring in DJs at night so it can get loud after 8 but regular dinner hours aren't super busy or loud. The service has always been super fast and friendly.

    Shrimp Ceviche

    This was AMAZING!! Rudy was our server and we had the best time !! There was no wait, we were able to have a conversation with our server and got to know him as well. Usually Mexican food hurts my stomach , but gran maya had the best Mexican ive ever had. The manager also was very sweet and came up to us and refilled our chips!! The restaurant itself is super clean and a good vibe !!!

    We tried this new Mexican restaurant in Ghent that took the place of an old staple. The decor was classed up with gorgeous light fixtures and the booths and tables were set up the same way, but with new upholstery. As others have said, the menu is quite large but I always go for the vegetarian section anyway. I had the veggie fajitas (my go-to!) and I was very impressed. The portion size was large and the mixed veggies were cooked perfectly and included broccoli which was a nice touch. I loved the lightly pickled cucumber on the salad it came with. You also get rice AND beans. My friend got the veggie enchiladas and she cleaned her plate! The chips and salsa were good. I prefer my salsa a little more chunky but this was flavorful, just a little thin. If you like hot sauce, their house made sauce is more of a verde but also very tasty and not super hot. Sebastian was our waiter and he was incredibly kind, respectful, and attentive! All in all, a pleasant experience! I can't wait to go back and try something else.

    Ceviche with fish

    First time at Gran maya in Ghent. We ordered food to go and the service was amazing! We were greeted by the entire staff and were given a lot of time to view the menu to decide what we want. The man who helped us went above and beyond to make sure we knew what we wanted and were happy with our choices. The food came out really quick as well and I really appreciated paying for the food once the food came out to make sure everything was great (sometimes it's about the little things) It was also very beautiful inside and very clean! I'm giving this place a 10/10 and I think our Ghent / Norfolk family should check them out! My final note - everything was seasoned to perfection. The rice and beans especially, and the portions are amazing. You really get more than what you pay for in my opinion!

    My husband and I wanted Mexican food so we thought we'd give this place a try. The waiter said they'd been open for 3 weeks. The place is very nicely done and very spacious, with a bar and lots of seating. The chips came out warm with salsa, both fresh made in house. The guacamole appetizer was made table side and so good, nothing beats fresh guac. Their menu is pretty extensive so it took us some time to decide because so much of it sounded good. We both went with burritos, my husband ordered the carne asada steak burrito and I ordered a different steak burrito. The burritos came out warm, the steak was cooked just right and very nicely seasoned. The staff were very friendly, and the food is authentic made by Mexican staff. The prices seemed very reasonable and we were overall very satisfied. Would definitely recommend this place 10/10 :)

We waited on hold for about 10 minutes. Placed 2 half chicken orders, 1 with plantains and black beans with rice and the other with steamed vegetables and rice and beans. Total cost $39.00. We were told 15 minutes and it was ready when we arrived. we walked in and iv could immediately see what others were talking about. Dirty floor, tables, trash cans. Dead bugs. I Immediately regretted my decision. while waiting for the employee to finish her call. I looked at the food in the warming containers. Everything was dried out and looked old. Nothing was covered. Cashier was using the same gloves hands serve food, answer the phone and type in orders. The food was just okay. I liked the charcoal flavor of the chicken 7/10 but the rice was dry and hard, the beans were over cooked and flavorless, the veggies were mushy and lacked seasoning as well. The lack of cleanliness is a huge deal for me because if the front of the house is nasty, the back couldn't be any better. This place is a no for me.

At first, the hostess said they were full inside but had a few seats outside. The weather was nice so we figured, sure. When we came outside, there were two other people that looked defeated. I asked how long they had been sitting there and one guy said 20 minutes, the other said 10. The whole time and no one had been there to even greet them. It was at this point, I knew we were doomed... but I never expected what actually happened. Eventually, a server comes out. He greets the other two folks then looks us and straight up ignores us. Look, ignore, and keep walking. Thinking that maybe he's just busy we chilled some and waited... nope... gave them water and still continued to ignore us. After THREE more times of this waiter ignoring us, we decided to go to the hostess for alternate seating. While there at the front, I was so infuriated that I told 3 other customer waiting in line our experience and insisted they enter at their own risk. They left. While we did get another seat with a waitress that was very amenable, the service from everyone else was just lackluster as heck. Overall, if you're just struggling for wings, sure... hit this place up. However, if you want an actual decent experience b/c of how much the cost of nights are... I'd advise pass. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 1 then a 4 (see review) Value of service to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Local dive that fits the school. Repeat customer: meh... doubt it Dog Friendly: maybe outside?

I will say that their medium is way to Spivey for me, but I knew going forward to get the mild which is also spicy. On this particular visit I was fantastically disappointed. So, I ordered a two piece and a drink. I asked what pieces of the chicken come with a two piece the young man behind the counter stated a leg and thigh. He even went to the wall that lists what pieces you can expect to receive to confirm. I said that was fine as I don't care for chicken breast at all, never have and I never will. I paid and then he said that it would be 20-25 minutes. No problem as I am happy to wait for fresh fried chicken. No please keep in mind that they were not busy at all. They had zero customers when I walked in, two first responders came in after me and there was no else who came in afterwards. Please help me understand why this young man brought me a tray with a wing and a breast.. I took the greasy tray back up to him and politely asked what was on my tray. He told me. I then asked him what he told me came with the 2 piece. He repeated a leg and a thigh. Then why would he bring me a breast and a wing? I told him that I would like a refund. He stated that they could remake it. I said "No thank you, I'm not going to wait another 20-25 minutes and I would like a refund". This poor kid then stated that he would have to call his manager. Fine. Call them. Why would the manager need to be called? I didn't get what I ordered and paid for and I didn't eat the food. Over the phone the manager inquired if I would prefer for the food to be remade or if I would like a refund. Sir, I have already asked for a refund. Will most certainly not be returning. There are way too many fried chicken restaurants in this area. If chicken is your thing then maybe do it right. Also, I failed to mention that they now do seafood boils. Not sure I would try it. If you can't get your chicken orders right how are you going to get your seafood boils right? No thank you.

I forced myself to eat one and it tasted like it smelled... I threw them away.. I didn't wanna suffer later.. Smh. The wings and fries were good though. I did like the sauce.

I have been here several times to pick up food, but this was my first time actually going inside to order. The line was long around lunchtime, but it moved quickly. It is fast casual style, so you walk down the line choosing what you want and then pay at the register. I honestly had no idea that was how it worked before, so I was prepared to wait a while. I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient everything was. I was in and out much faster than expected. While putting my order together, the man helping me handed me a sample rib over the counter. I am a very socially awkward person and do not handle unexpected moments very gracefully, so I probably reacted a little awkwardly. That part was on me. The rib was GOOD though. He was very kind about my reaction and even handed me a napkin. The whole staff was friendly, asking how my week was going and checking in to make sure everyone was happy. Even though it was busy, they clearly care about customer service. The food was great. The garlic and green onion sausage had so much flavor, and the bananamisu was the perfect sweet finish. I originally went in hoping to order the BBQ oxtail, but they were sold out within two hours of opening, which honestly says a lot about how good they must be. I had also gone the day before around 7 PM and they had already closed because they were sold out for the day. Just a heads up that they do close early if they run out of food. Overall, great food, friendly staff, and quick service. I will definitely be back and hopefully I will finally catch the oxtail next time.
