We Stopped in because some friends told us about this place. We were seated fast, got our drinks and food ordered fast. Their beef is nicely seasoned, you get a good amount of food, the red salsa is good and their green salsa is great too with a little heat. The staff are friendly and patient with people who haven't been there and from what I hear with people who bin there a lot too. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in this area! We have been several times and are never disappointed. We live in Leesville and drive to Deridder- bypassing all of the other Mexican restaurants. read more

We found this place on our way home, amazing seasoning, good portions. Our server, Leo, was gentle, polite and helpful. Do not come to this place for tacos because you will not find them on the menu. Otherwise come and enjoy good food. read more

Always liked their food! Fresh clean and humble quite but busy spot! Love their fajitas and most regular menu items. Bring cash or card to pay at entrance before leaving restaurant. Drinks will get you drunk if not taken moderately. read more

Los Mayas Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Deridder, Louisiana

Man oh man! Great food and priced just right! Nice atmosphere and convenient location. Totally worth my money!

First, the service: Excellent. Very attentive and welcoming. The food: Not in line with authentic Mexican food, but among the best you will find in Leesville. Free ice cream cone with your meal. read more

Very quick and courteous service at this Resturant. Ordered Burrito Los Mayos, which is what I always order, hate to take a chance on something else. Clean Resturant, TVs everywhere, though kind of small, hard to watch NFL AFC championship game. The saints aren't playing so it's ok. Large portions, good prices and quick service. read more

Margaritas are huge, food is good, portions are big enough, staff is friendly. Although, I ordered Chile Releno and it was filled with hamburger instead of steak, what I'm used to in California... read more

I really enjoy the food. I've never eaten anything at Los Mayas that I didn't like. It's Tex-Mex, not Mexican, so know that going in. I don't mean for that to sound bad; I just hate when reviewers use that as an excuse to knock a place. It's Tex-Mex and it's really good. The service can be hit or miss, especially with larger parties. The wait staff is not what you would call experienced or well-trained. Very nice and friendly, but they make mistakes that can be maddening, like forgetting to put in orders. If you can look past that, you'll definitely enjoy the laid back atmosphere and good food. read more

My husband and I have been here a couple if times since moving to Deridder. We've really enjoyed the food. Coming from Hawaii we were really missing what we call "Southern" Mexican food :) I absolutely love the Rellena Quesadilla! It's good. There aren't many restaurants around here, so as far as I'm concerned this is a "must-go". They lose one star from me because the restaurant isn't the cleanest place I've ever been. Honestly though, that seems to be a trend in all of the restaurants we've been to in this area. read more

The service was very good during lunch. Cheese dip too runny for me. We had the quesadillas. They were very fresh, served with quacamole & sour cream. Large potion but uncut. I had the shredded beef with beans. The food was fresh but just average tasting. The red dip was bland. It was al just ok overall. read more

We use to come to this place a lot before they opened Mi Rancho. We had pretty good food and service except for the last two times I've went. The first one was they sat us down got our drinks and salsa and we never saw the waiter. My aunt said something then it was another 15 minutes before someone came.... The last time was we got waited and got our drinks and stuff and we didn't see our waiter for 15-20 minutes and my dad ordered a chimichanga and it had guacamole and lettuce and all that on the side and my dad said it tasted weird.... about 10 minutes after he got done eating he immediately had to go to the restroom. After that we went home and he said his stomach was hurting and while he was in the shower he started throwing up and throwing up until we put him in the car and went to the doctor..... he had food poisoning and that was the only place we ate that day so we stopped going there... other then that the food is good!! read more

This is great mexican food for the area. We have been to each one in town and this definitely as close to authentic as it gets, especially for the price. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. They are also quick to fix any mistakes made without an issue. The food has great flavor and the portions are not bad at all. The restaurant is always clean, as well. There are TVs located in each corner for entertainment. I would recommend giving them a try! read more

Really hate the food here. The staff is wonderful, so kind and funny! But the food... I hate to say it, but it's awful. For instance, I went here on my birthday to eat with my family. I ordered a grilled chicken salad. When it came out, it was as cold as if it had just spent two hours crawling out of the freezer on its own. The chicken tasted like 100% recycled cardboard. The ranch dressing tasted more like fermented blue cheese. I didn't even touch it after the first couple of bites. It was utter garbage, I hate to say. Ruined my birthday dinner, for sure! I don't reccomend this place. read more

This is good food...and plenty of it! We eat here regularly because the food is good, the service is friendly, and the serving sizes are generous -- usually one entree will feed 2 or 3 people. This building was a longtime "working class" BBQ joint. Los Maya is a "working class" Mexican joint. Possibly because Los Mayas does not serve alcoholic beverages, I feel like it's a great family restaurant. For what its worth, Mexicans eat at this restaurant! An aside: the only time I've seen non-Spanish TV programming at the restaurant was when they showed an LSU football game! read more

This place is pretty good. It is definitely not "the best Mexican" that one can get in Southwest Louisiana. However, it does have Mexican taste more than Tex Mex. I've had Mexican in a Texas restaurant and I know which ones in Southwest Louisiana are close to real Mexican. However, the food here leans more towards Mexican than Tex Mex and that makes it enjoyable. read more

We have been coming here for quite a while and never had any issues, but earlier this year we came in, ordered drinks, then food. Waitress brought our food and then we didn't see her again after that, not once. My husband said something to whom we assumed was the manager and he made a comment about how busy they were. The place was almost empty, so that was wrong. Then as we were leaving, the waitress in question was going back in from apparently a long smoke break. As for tonight, same thing, same waitress. Food and drinks delivered and not once after that did she come check on us because apparently talking to a male co worker took precedence over her customers. An older lady actually saw that we were just sitting there and came over and brought our to go box and to go drink, THEN the waitress walked over and asked if we needed anything. Really? We watched her stand there and chat up this guy the entire time we were there and not once during our meal did she think to come see if we were okay. That's bad service, I'm sorry to say. On the up side, the food has always been good. read more

I don't know why everybody in this area goes bonkers for this place. If you've ever had Mexican food at any place in Texas, this place will disappoint you. This is my second review, thought they deserved a second chance... ordered bean & cheese tacos and got bland bean tacos (HARD tacos) with cheese sprinkled on the shells! Seriously? I'll never be back. Also ordered something simple like taco salad -- not only was the chicken severely overcooked, it was as dry as the desert sun and was a chore to swallow, not to mention the entire dish was smothered in sour cream. I will never go back and I advise everyone to drive ANYWHERE in Texas, I promise wherever you go it will be better than Los Mayas. read more

Love this place. Food is always hot and fresh. Service with a smile and always feel welcome. Staff is always willing to wait on you, even if it is not your server. Clean and well organized. I drive 30 minutes out of the way to enjoy this place read more

Great customer service from the staff and very tasty food. I recommend the chimichanga. It tastes very fresh and it's fulfilling. After your meal, you're treated to free dessert of your choice of ice cream. They have other desserts as well and their fried ice cream is one of the best I've ever had. read more

My husband and I found this place while working in Deridder one day. The lunch #8 is the best plate of Mexican food I have ever had from Houston, Texas to Baton Rouge, Louisiana!! Now when we want to have a lunch or dinner date away from the kids we will drive all the way to Deridder just to have this food. I keep telling the owners/managers that they need to open one in Lake Charles because they would put every Mexican restaurant out of business. Food is awesome, service is great and the price is unbelievable!! read more

We were here on a business trip and did not really know where to eat at. There was not really anywhere close that we knew of to get good cajun so we went for Mexican food. The food was surprisingly tasty. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is because the "free" ice cream they gave us at the end was terrible! I had to throw mine away and rinse my mouth out! Other than that, everything else was good. read more

Los Mayas Mexican Grill - Fajita nachos and rice with cheese sauce (enough for 3 people, or more) - Mexican Near Me - Deridder, Louisiana

Great food and incredibly quick service. Call ahead and pick it up in 10 minutes. Price is fair.

Amazing food, a huge menu, and very affordable prices. The only Mexican place I will eat at in town from now on. Great portions, fast staff & perfect prices. read more

Under new management... This use to be a great Mexican restaurant. The red sauce is now from a cheep can. Both of our orders were wrong, but I rather have a wrong order then risk spit food. Our waitress was horrible and had an attitude like she couldn't be bothered with us. Twice once in front of my wife and once in front of me she reached across us where we had to lean back from her arm. The overall food quality has gone down hill a lot. Probably our last visit here. A shame as we really liked this place. read more

Slowly but surely, service has turned hit or miss with today being the most frustrating example. Around 130pm, sitting in front, only one other table occupied. Our waitress didn't check on us until she brought the food out and even then, Shen didn't come back to refill drinks for another 5 minutes (total of 10 minutes waiting on a refill). She never checked on us again and when she brought the check, she slipped behind me and dropped in on the table and left without a word. No offer of ice cream, no offer of another refill (which was needed), not a thank you, not a word. We sat there for another few minutes eating the chips and queso and she finally came back and asked if she could remove the plates. Sure. She grabs the bowl of queso and puts it on a plate and takes them away. The queso we were still eating, the queso on the chips in our mouths. Still no offer for a refill. Really felt like she was subtly telling us to get out. In no way were we bad customers, we used please and thank you, very polite and not demanding. Just a horrible server that I'll refuse to deal with again. read more

Say it with me now, *white cheese dip*! YAY! This is by far the best Mexican food in DeRidder or Leesville. The only draw back is no margaritas, but in exchange you get great service, amazing chips and salsa, cheap food and a family firendly atmosphere. I have mixed feelings about this being so far from my home -- good for my waistline, bad for my Mexican food cravings. read more

The menu was tedious and overburdened. I like clean, fresh flavors and these dishes are overly complicated and half of the plate is covered with what tastes like velveeta cheese concoction. There were soggy cheese enchiladas with veg and fajita steak on top. the steak was given sparingly but I couldn't say anything about the flavor bc it was drowned in the strange queso. The refried beans were soupy everything was just soft and soggy and tasted like that horrible cheese. The chips were bland, no salt on the table. No alcohol on sundays. the salsa not worth mentioning. The big servings of bellpeper and onion and mushroom on the enchiladas was gorgeous and nice but agained drowned in that cheese like concoction. The menu is convoluted and items are over priced. the atmosphere and scenery are good enough reasons to not patronize this restaurant. I have definitely had better authentic mexican, tex mex, and cajun mex than whatever category this food was falls under. Def not authentic. read more

Is it write-home about Mexican? No. Is it decent for Leesville? Yes. Free chips and a decent, albeit pureed, salsa. I had the chicken burrito San Antonio which was pretty tasty. My chicken was flavorful and moist, and the roasted tomatoes and peppers added a kick. The thing was heaped with sour cream, good guacamole, and cheese - perhaps not the healthiest of meals, but I kept eating even after my stomach told me to stop:) Good service, though the establishment is run down and chintzy. Large portions and fairly cheap! I'll be returning. read more

For DeRidder, this is pretty darn good food! Great large proportions, quick wait staff, very hospitable. The food is awesome - we order and bring home a few nights a wk read more

So good! We've only ever had takeout but the person up front is always nice. Food is good & the offer a military discount.

Food was good, but the service was not. First off the server brought my wife steak fajitas, instead of chicken like she had ordered. Then it took about ten minutes before the server even brought the tortillas for the fajitas. The food was decent, but not worth what was charged. read more

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in this area. Whether it is the one in Leesville or DeRidder, the food, service and atmosphere is great. Have eaten here for the past couple years many times and have never been disappointed. A great place to bring the family for a meal that will not disappoint you. The fresh hand made flour tortillas are the best. read more
