First & foremost, our waitress Antonia was great & such a sweetheart. Second, the food was great too. I wasn't super into their cocktails much TBH but the food was great, I enjoyed the seafood enchiladas a lot. I would go back.

Come here for their spectacular brunch! The amount of food you get is absolutely insane. It just keeps coming and they bring everything on the brunch menu too! It is really a bottomless brunch. The chilaquiles, short rib flautas, corn on the cob, chicken tinga tostada were my favorites. And there is so much more brunch items they will bring out carnitas, salmon, french toast, eggs in every style, etc - like I said it is truly a bottomless brunch. Same goes for the drinks - they will keep filling those up . Service was excellent. They were attentive and constantly filling drinks and bringing us food. Come hungry!

Maya is like a loyal friend - always has availability bc there is so much space but also has amazing deals and food! My favorite is their bottomless brunch which comes with bottomless plates AND food! However, I also love coming here for dinner! My most recent experience was at dinner and we took advantage of the great happy hour deals. Maya is one of the few places that offers happy hour on Saturdays and goes as late as 7pm! Amazing! For starters, we had the HH queso and for my main, I had the chicken fajita which was so delicious. The staff here is great and very attentive.

grilled chicken quesadilla,

After work we pulled up to Maya by Richard Sandoval to celebrate my guy's birthday like responsible adults... barely. Upscale but cozy. Seats so comfortable I almost forgot I had bills due. Started strong with the LOADED nachos -- grilled chicken, crema fresca, black beans, pico... yeah, those disappeared fast. MVP of the night. Then came the chicken flautas. Crispy, flavorful... and heavy enough to humble a grown man. My boy ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla. Way too much cheese. We wanted flavor, not a dairy workout. Other homie got the sizzling steak fajitas -- came out sounding like applause. Steak cooked perfectly. No notes. Service was a little weird at first, but our server was cool and attentive. Happy hour vibe? Elite. Great atmosphere, solid options, tequila selection on point. Overall: Nachos win. Steak earns respect. Quesadilla needs supervision. Birthday mission accomplished.

Happy hour adobo chicken, flautas, and tuna ceviche.

Had a nice experience here. Went for happy hour on a Friday. Sat at the bar and was greeted quickly. Ordered my drinks and food at the same time - 2 drinks, 3 food options. Drinks came out pretty quickly, food came out almost too quickly. Got the tuna ceviche, flautas, and adobo chicken tacos. Everything tasted good. The flautas were the best, nice and full. The restaurant it beautiful, great space.

I stopped in at this restaurant for brunch! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into a busy restaurant. I was greeted and sat and Rachel was my server and she was great. I ordered from their Bottomless brunch and a la carte menu. I ordered: Red Sangria Short Rib Flautas Chicken Tinga Tacos Huevos a la Mexicana Mimosa Flight (Traditional, Mango, Strawberry, Maya with blood orange) Traditional Margarita Skirt steak Fajitas The food as delicious and the Huevos were my favorite! All in all good experience!

Churros

Their Bottomless lunch + drinks is a great deal - doing both is $59 per person, while food only is $35 and beverage only is $24. We came for a birthday lunch and we had a great time! You can order the foods and share them family style, so we got about 2-3 orders of each dish, while getting refills or new drink orders.

If you are looking for a CLASSY boozy brunch, this is your place! I've now hit up Maya at least 3 times for a Sunday Funday brunch, and I had a fabulous time with each visit. Before I go on too far about brunch, I must warn you that not only is Maya brunch all-you-can-drink... but it is ALSO all-you-can-eat! Ummm... you heard right! And, despite being all-you-can-eat, the food is high quality and tasty! Some of the highlights from brunch include the Al Pastor Tacos, Huevos Rancheros, Short Rib Flautas, Chicken Enchiladas, Mexican French Toast, Churros, Chilaquiles... and I could go on and on because they have so many great selections. I even love their corn on the cob, and I'm not one to dig into a cob in public! But, at Maya, I just can't help myself. Any review of Maya brunch wouldn't be complete without the booze -- and the stand out here for me are the Bloody Maria cocktails (Bloody Mary with tequila instead of vodka) and Margaritas! Go for it because these babies are all-you-can-drink! Note that you'll be full and drunk when you walk out of a Maya brunch, but every once in a while it's okay, right? =)

Al Pastor Tacos
Victoria K.

Really nice ambience in here with comfy chairs and dim lighting. I came to have a quick dinner with my friend who works nearby and though it was slightly loud, it was a great place to catch up since it was just the two of us. I ordered the al pastor tacos, which were $19 and came with three tacos. I didn't think that these tacos were worth the price. I found the tortillas to be somewhat stale and very flavorless, and I was still hungry after finishing these tacos. To put the size in perspective, I finished one taco in two bites, so my whole meal was 6 bites. Because the menu was on the pricier side, I didn't feel like ordering more food was worth it. I think if you come here you're more paying for the vibe and the space rather than the food. Also wanted to note we had a very kind waitress!

In the mood for Mexican brunch in NYC and found this place courtesy of ChatGPT. Food tasted delicious and fun to order with my son. Similar to tapas style when ordering from brunch menu. We tried almost every item on menu besides the mushroom tacos. If you're from California, don't expect Mexican food like there. Reminds me more of cuisine in Mexico City that you'd get in Roma Norte or La Condesa, which is a compliment.

Cherrilyn B.

Delicious. I've been going here for quite a few years now because all of the food is delicious, service is great, and the unlimited drink options is tough to beat!!! Bathrooms are clean, huge space, easy to get a reservation for brunch. Highly recommend. Thanks Carlos for taking care of us during brunch!!

The drinks, cuisine and service were great. The margaritas flight of 3/$33 hit the point. The lights were not too low to see the menu. The seating was comfy and roomy for our coats and bags.

I always come here for some drinks and their calamari is amazing. Service is always good and the noise level is usually moderate. I honestly prefer coming here than Tán. Had a bad experience there

Churros that were so hard when I tried to pinch with the fork it jumped out of the plate ...

Ask the Community - Maya

Do they have gluten free options?

Yes, they do.

Do you have Sunday brunch and what time do you start?

Yes - we serve Bottomless Brunch every Saturday & Sunday from 10am - 4:30pm - which includes unlimited brunch plates & free flowing brunch cocktails for $49 per guest. There's also an option for bottomless food only, which is $36 per guest. We also… 

How's the music during brunch?

I remember it being lively - can't remember specific genres but brunch is more of a party scene versus just a place to eat. I think they give you a hat to wear if it's your birthday. Hope this helps!

If there is a large party for brunch does everyone have to do unlimited drinks if majority of people are - or can a select few just do the bottomless food?

I had a large party for brunch and no, everyone does not have do unlimited drinks the waitress will ask everyone who will be doing unlimited drinks. Some friends did just do bottomless food without the unlimited drinks and others got both.

What time is happy hour on a sunday, if there is happy hour on a sunday?

I was there a few weeks ago, and it was everyday from 4 PM - close, but only at the bar.

Do you have live mariachis playing on the weekend?

Hi Robert! We have mariachi bands in on special occasions only (Mardi Gras, New Years, etc.) and announce in advance when it's happening. Hope that helps :)!

Do they have a Sunday night happy hour?

Yes! The happy hour even runs on a Saturday night!!

Is this place kid friendly? Want to make a reservation for a family of 5 with a young infant

Yes, it is absolutely kid friendly. If you would like me to make the reservation for you please call me at 212 585 1818 and ask for Corinna. Hope to speak to you soon.

The Guac was brilliant! Made the whole dish taste good. Good quantity as well. The lady at the counter was very friendly, despite the lines. Asked her what I should try next time. We agreed on Beef burrito bowl. And it is so close to Grand Central. Will make sense to do a take out here!

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

Lunch at Toloache yesterday is Lori's favorite meal so far, and tied for me with Kanyakumari. It's…read morea contemporary upscale Mexican bistro located at 251 West 50th Street in the Theater District of Manhattan. Founded in 2007, and led by chef-owner Julian Medina (who grew up in Mexico City and trained in prominent New York kitchens like Maya and Pampano) along with Chef de Cuisine - Fidel Rodriguez, and Sous Chef - Julian Medina. They have real Mexican food like huitlacoche, and Oaxacan-style seasoned grasshoppers. There is a dedicated guacamole and ceviche bar, and a wood-burning oven. The name toloache is Jimsonweed, a flowering plant in Mexican folklore said to be brewed into a love potion that guarantees anyone who drinks it will always return. For drinks, Lori had the Paloma De Pepino - Gran Centenario plata, cucumber, grapefruit soda, lime, and I had the Margarita de la Calle - Maestro Dobel Diamante, cucumber, jalapeño, lime. Both were excellent, and perfectly balanced. Toloache has one of the best guacamoles we've ever had, and they made it fresh and customized it for us. Cilantro tastes like soap to Lori, and each of the three guacs listed it. Also there is a mild traditional, fruta medium, and rojo spicy. We wanted traditional but spicy, and without cilantro. That's what we got. The accompanying chips were better than most as they were the perfect size, not greasy, and strong enough to not break. With the guacamole came a Roasted Tomato salsa that was spectacular. It has roasted tomatoes, chipotle, onion, cilantro, garlic, and a "secret ingredient". It is medium spicy. I'm going to try to figure out how to make this one. Lori loves Fajitas, which are course Tex-Mex, but they make it with Prime NY Strip Steak, and it is amazing ... and huge. Two could share this for lunch. I had the Enchiladas Borrachas - pulled chicken, tomatillo-5 chiles salsa borracha, Mexican cheeses, crema, and avocado-radish salad. This was a delight with great layers of flavor - smoky, moderately spicy, slightly tangy, with a lot of richness from the cheese and crema. The shredded chicken was tender, savory, and relatively mild, mostly there to carry the sauce. When you eat this, be sure to put a slice of the enchilada on your fork, and then with your knife scoop up sauce and pour it over the bite. It's so flavor-packed. We LOVED Toloache, and highly recommend it.

I noticed a few people standing outside the restaurant waiting for a table and were less prioritized due to no reservation. Ordered Platos Fuertes Carne Asada, and Frutas Guacamole. Unfortunately I do not remember what my friends ordered but they did order tacos and noted how bold the flavors are and how delicious they tasted. Guacamole was not too spicy, but perfect. Carne Asada dish was smoky and savory. Overall, recommend!
