Shout out to Maya Restaurant! Their baleadas especiales are everything -- those Honduran‑style giant tortillas will make you believe in an afterlife. I had them hold the chorizo since I'm 95% plant‑based, and they were still perfection. I bought three orders so I could share this delicious, affordable, love‑filled food with my neighbor. Life is expensive, but thank goodness for a takeout meal that tastes homemade and heartfelt. As a food critic, these are a 10/10, and nobody else in town gets that rating from me. When I'm not cooking at home, this is exactly what I'm buying my only requests / suggestions is that they add more vegan options (tofu scramble or plant based egg replacement, vegan cheese/ egg and milks for their coffee etc ) and have someone improve their Facebook / social media accounts. read more

If you're looking for authentic Latin American food other than Mexican, give Maya a try. It's a very casual eatery with plenty of seating. I ordered take out at the counter & the server was very helpful. This is my 2nd visit & the food is very good...flavorful, fresh and generous. My baleada, a Honduran specialty similar to a quesadilla...was huge & stuffed full of beans, cheese, chorizo, chicken etc... It was delicious. My tamalito de elote was a bit disappointing. It was a bit on the dry side. Regardless, Maya is worth stopping in if you're looking for something different. read more

Food was great -- but incredibly slow. This may have been related to snow storm -- maybe they were short staffed -- but it took way too long to get our food. read more

First off, the food is really good, and the service friendly and attentive... and they have real cane sugar coke in bottles (yes... it IS different!). The place seems like just a hole-in-the wall joint, with a few tables and a buffet table that runs the length of the restaurant, but seems unused. Not for a fancy night out, but good food in a simple spot. read more

Excellent service and the food is outstanding!! Our food servers recommendation was perfect. The portions were perfect. read more

This restaurant has recently opened a couple months ago, I suggest those who enjoy typical dishes from Honduras should come and give it a try. It is a very small location which makes it difficult to find tables to sit at on the weekends. Customer service here is exceptional! The ladies working here are the sweetest. My favorite dish is the pupusas de frijol y queso (a tortilla stuffed with bean and melted cheese). One of the complaints that I have is that the steak is a little too tough, making it hard to chew. From my understanding, this is the owner's first restaurant that they have ever owned so it still has work to do as far as the food quality, but nonetheless, it has the potential to become one of the top Latin restaurants to eat at in Statesville. read more

Excellent food, friendly service, family atmosphere. Worth the very short detour on a long distance drive north on 77. This is truly authentic cuisine, and place was full of locals. Flavors were great, we had ground beef dish, chicken dish and burrito. All served with tasty cabbage salad, rice and plantains. We shared some cheese pupusa also, yum. We will definitely come back next time through. read more

Stayed at the Courtyard Marriott across the street- definitely get takeout here. The service was friendly and fast, and the food was really good. I haven't had papusas in a long time, and they hit the spot. Bean and cheese- best of both worlds. Cabbage slaw was fresh and simple with a good amount of lime, and the carne asada was charred to perfection. The seating is open and limited but I haven't eaten inside a restaurant since the pandemic started. One small complaint I have is that the woman at the counter didn't always wear her mask... so while your food is being prepared you could wait outside... but I'm also in the middle of NC and I would never single this place out as being especially noncompliant. There have been plenty of rest stops and places we've been along the route where people aren't wearing masks. I just stay as distant as possible and only stop when I really need to. read more

Been wanting to try this place out So I finally did ! The restaurant is clean and organized which I love and the servers are very friendly . I ordered the grilled shrimp and it comes with yellow rice with veggies, refríes beans , plantains and a small salad . The food was very tasty pretty much what my father would make . All that cost $12.00 a great deal for all the food . I definitely come back again ! read more

It seems like they've given up. Wanted to like it. Could have a good business from hotels. Travelers are looking for food. Don't give up.

Great service, friendly staff as well as customers and THE BEST DAMN FOOD YOU WILL FIND. Excellent prices for the volume and quality of food. I cannot say enough good things about this place. read more

Delicious! Stayed at Hampton Inn across the street and walked to Maya, just pleased to have a close restaurant that wasn't a chain. But it was such a nice surprise! The ladies that served us were sweet, the menu had helpful english translations, the place was tidy and the food was excellent! We had a creamy jalapeño shrimp dish, steak tacos, tilapia, and antojos catrachos. Each dish was fresh and very tasty. read more

Great food, friendly service and very clean. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want authentic Latin food!
