    Coffee. Comes with cream and sugar on the side.
    Andy L.

    Delicious authentic Honduran Mexican food. It's hard to find a good pupusa, and they make it as good as they come. Really good complimentary tortilla chips and salsa. High quality food.

    Chicken fajitas
    Pranathi B.

    I was back after more than a decade. What struck me first were the prices. Most of the items are $20-$35. Inflation has affected most of the restaurants but I felt the price point here was very high. On par with high end and fancy restaurants without the ambiance or service to match up. Kids menu and some alacarte dishes are still reasonably priced though. We got ** chicken fajita- 4/5- $25- plate came with three tortillas, we opted for corn. The tortillas were a good size and thick. Chicken was wonderfully done and had an excellent char. Plate also came with cheese, some salad, rice and beans. I recall rice and beans being fantastic last time but this time around they were just about ok. ** cheese quesadilla-4/5- they didn't skimp on the cheese. The outside had a beautiful char and was filled with ooey gooey salty cheese. ** Super Baleada- 4/5- it was my first time trying this dish so I was not sure what to expect. But it was essentially a wrap with beans, cheese, egg and avocado. Perfect for breakfast. ** pupusa-4/5- came with a side salad. The salad had a zing and helped lighten the meal. The pupusa was delicious and came with - filling of cheese and beans. **chicken tacos-4/5- vanilla version with diced chicken, onions and cilantro, this was for kids as they are now taco fans.

    This is my weekly go to restaurant!!! Every dish here is delicious I love the breakfast, baliadas, carne asada and they always give me salsa! Did I mention they're salsa is so good and also the coffee with cinnamon

    Man this is a hidden gem. This may be my favorite Latin spot in the area. They make their tortillas fresh and the tortilla for the taco was warm and it had a great fresh consistency. The Al pastor was amazing. I'll have to give this place a 4 star at the moment because i wasn't a fan of the soup. I tried the Sopa de Mariscos con Leche de Coco and it was just as described...shrimp in coconut milk. I was expecting some type of seasoning in the coconut milk but it didn't have much. But this was my first time trying the dish and based on the quality of everything else I assume that is what it's supposed to taste like. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I'll come back and try some of the other items and if they are as good as I think they will be out change this to a five star review.

    Wet burrito
    Yvonne F.

    This was my first time trying Honduran food, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was absolutely delicious. This spot is a bit of a hidden gem--a hole-in-the-wall--and like many of the previous reviews mentioned, you do need to be patient. I visited on a Sunday around 1 PM, and it took nearly 30 minutes for my dish to arrive, followed by another 15 minutes for my boyfriend's wet burrito. I ordered the fried chicken, and while the combination of flavors seemed unusual at first, it totally worked. The chicken was perfectly crispy and smothered in a red and yellow sauce. I believe the red sauce was ketchup-based, and the yellow tasted like honey mustard. The dish was served on a bed of crispy plantains, which added a nice texture. Our second dish, the wet burrito, was good but not particularly memorable. It seems like the real standout dishes are the traditional Honduran ones. The restaurant also offers complimentary chips and salad, which was a nice touch. While the servers were attentive, they were a bit reserved when it came to answering questions or engaging in conversation. The place is small and filled with locals, adding to its charm. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to others.

    Cheese quesadilla
    SevLong L.

    Pupusas - I love it. So happy that I get to eat one that I like and finished one all myself. The fried fish was decent - and big portion. And love how they toast the burritos too. Would be back for sure!

    Grabbing a quick weekend evening meal, you'd be quick to dismiss Maya's as not a terribly serious choice for good food, but they do a very solid job on their Honduran eats. It's certainly not the tightest operation being run, so be ready to adapt on the service front, but for their solid portions of deliciousness I'd sure be ready for plenty more rounds. Overall I'd place it at 4.5, but I'm comfortable rounding up on strength of their menu. Service is well, serviceable, but a slight weakness on their front so I can see where mixed reviews come from. Our server was polite, but shorter on words when asking for recommendations so it seems a bit of a given you're expected to know what's what already. Food came out sequentially, so while it wasn't too long of a wait it was a bit of an awkward one since it still took 20min for the last entree to come out. We were mostly left alone afterwards so it was hard to flag any server down to let them know my entree was missing its queso and my brother's entree was missing tortillas (which I wouldn't have known if I didn't compare to my friend's sets). Then came time to settle the check which had an error to correct. Each thing by itself is fine, but it all added up to a bit more chaos than I'd prefer so YMMV. That all said the food is banger! I'd say it's enough to make it up for it, it also being a rather super-local hole-in-the-wall. The menu is grouped mostly by meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and then by item type (like specials, soup, seafood, etc.). Dinner plates generally with rice, beans, and tortilla. Cheese pupusa = 4/5 Solid on texture with a good amount of cheesiness for the books, plus a nice small lightly pickled salad for contrasting crunch. The dipping salsa was rather light though, which I personally feel like overall it tasted a bit light on seasoning (fine as an appetizer of sorts). Could just be a honduran thing though, cause the entrees were on-point on seasoning. Carne Asada dinner = 5/5 Honestly it's a pretty great dinner set that I had trouble finishing with a great amount of variety to keep you on your culinary toes. The plantain chips were perfect with a great crisp and oozing flavor (even the spilled salsa that was meant for the beef tasted great on them). Beef was a tough cut but I hardly noticed with how well seasoned it was and it just melded right in with the rice and beans, plus a nice crunch from pickles on top. Just all around deliciousness on a platter. Cerdo Tamales = 5/5 Positively massive and very filling. The chicken was damn near the most tender and soft I've ever had it. Like for real, this has set the bar for softness for chicken. Very nice as a cozy meal and lots of loving carbs. Just the right amount of seasoning on everything to to bring out the flavors without being overbearing and a great amount of cheese to complement the corn/rice.

    Caldo de Rez (beef soup)
    Adriana S.

    Such a great food; super tasty , well made and big portions. The caldo de Rez was super delicious; enchiladas , pupusas and much more. We were a group of 11 and we had a feast. The service is super courteous, friendly and agile. Definitely will go back and totally recommend.

    *First time review, dined indoors* We wanted to try something different and went to Maya's! The second we walked through the door, the lady working greeted us warmly with a smile. Super sweet and sat us down. We were brought chips, salsa and ordered orange soda and coke. Hugeeeee bottles omg. Delicious ice cold in the glass. Bacon wrapped shrimp: 5/5 crispy bacon and perfectly cooked shrimp, not over cooked! Huge and 6 total (our photo shows 5 because too hungry to wait!) Wet burrito: 4/5 shredded chicken with red sauce. Taste was great just wish there was a tad more chicken as it was primarily rice. Very good, would order again. Really want to try the beef plate they had. Really love the warm servers and would come back for that!

    Coconut shrimp soup. One of the most flavorful dishes I've ever had  served with homemade tortillas. ABSOLUTELY mind blowing!
    Kim C.

    This place is easily in my top 5 restaurants of all time. I come all the way from Ventura for this place and it NEVER disappoints. I visit my family who live in WG but this place comes before them (just kidding... kinda). I was hesitant to order on Door Dash (I was without a car this visit) but dannnng! The food was as delicious as it always is! Piping hot soup, rice and tortillas! The tortillas here are the best I've ever had. Gave my picky sister a bite and she loved it, too. If you live or visit the bay area and don't try this place, let's set you up a doctor's appointment because there is something wrong with you. Viva Maya's!! Este lugar me vuelve loca!

    Plate with al pastor tacos pupusas, grilled jalapeños, frijoles, and the pickled cabbages.

We arrived around 5:30pm on a weeknight and the place was empty except for one couple. One of the first things I noticed was the music overhead was very loud. The waitress told us to sit wherever we wanted, so we grabbed a booth in the side room. Fortunately, the music was not as loud in there. I decided to try something I hadn't ordered previously and went with the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and rice. My companions ordered carne asada street tacos, chicken enmoladas, and a strawberry margarita. The food arrived quickly. My dish was nice-sized with three enchiladas, and while they were good, they were a bit too spicy for me. I could only eat about half of them. The rice was delicious and I would have liked more. Everyone else really enjoyed their food and kept commenting on how good it was. I asked if their food was spicy and they said no. They liked their strawberry margarita, too. I tried to order tres leche for dessert for us to share, but they were out. I've had it before at Casa Villa and it is scrumptious with lots of strawberries. The waitress then surprised us with a tiny piece she found in the fridge and three spoons. She didn't charge us for it. Overall it was a good dinner and I highly recommend Casa Villa. The restaurant is cozy with a warm, homey feeling and the service is excellent. I've had the fish tacos and quesabirria tacos in the past and they are delicious.

I chose the pork, bean, and cheese pupusa, which ended up being one of my favorite items. It tasted authentic with great tortilla texture and flavor. The pastelito was nice and crispy. The chicken tamal was good and similar to a Mexican tamale, but with a softer masa. The corn tamal was sweet and tasted like a cornbread muffin. The fried yuca was good and had a similar texture to potatoes. The chicharron was okay and was a bit bland. The empanada was more of a dessert, as it was sweet with a custard-like filling. The plantains were cooked perfectly and had a nice balanced of sweetness. Also ordered one pupusa with pork and cheese.

The sopa de pata is a cow feet soup that includes cabbage, carrots, tripe, and yuca, served with tortilla, dried chili peppers, and dried oregano on the side.

I'm starting to notice that unless the meat is sausage, the steaks are not very well seasoned. The plantain was the most flavorful part of that dish, since it had the natural sweetness. The chicharron lacked that crunch we were used to. I got the end piece, so I got luckier than the rest of the family. I realized just now that we didn't get the blood sausage that everyone else got, and I had to look at my receipt again to make sure that we in fact did order the Bandeja Paisa, and we did. That's disappointing. Also I just noticed on the receipt I was charged a "Kitchen Appreciation" charge. Ummm... excuse me???!! I would have appreciated it if you hadn't forgotten my blood sausage from my $27 dish! The Arroz con Pollo had sausage and chicken in the rice with ketchup on top, served with a small salad with guacamole and french fries. I'm starting to see a pattern and that the meat aren't really seasoned. A lot of sauces and dips are used to substitute, and the drinks are a lot more on the carbonated sour/bitter side, with a bit of an aftertaste. The customer service is great, but I don't know if this unseasoned food is my kind of taste.

    It's been a while, so we decided to check out ZR for a late lunch…read more We found parking easily, but we had to wait a little bit before someone came by to seat us. We were seated at the booth in the back, which I have always admired, but I now realize it has its disadvantages. It is right by the bathroom, which got a bit of traffic on our visit. That's not such a big deal. The bigger concerns I have are: (1) there is no cushioning for those of us with little of our own and (2) you have to sit up fairly straight and if you want to lean against the wall, you're likely to rub shoulders with the wall hanging. Next time I will ask to be seated someplace else as there were two 2-tops outside. The food is always made from quality ingredients and I'm glad to see they are experimenting with pricing and quantity. I did not see mention of their daily happy hour, which was a feature of last year's visit so that may be gone. However, they now have a five tacos platter which offers relatively good value from the menu prices. This would be good for sharing for two people I think. But that is not what we ordered on this visit. My wife ordered two vegetarian (verduras) tacos and the Blood Orange/Jalapeno mocktail. I ordered the huevos rancheros. Unlike Luna, tortilla chips and salsa are not complimentary. So we let our appetites build. Our food arrived fairly quickly, so that was good and we dug in. My wife had ordered two extra eggs (extra charge) to accompany her tacos, and I think she was glad she did. The vegetarian tacos were not terribly generous for the price. My huevos rancheros came in a neatly stacked pile. My wife thought to ask if they had a hot sauce and they do! So we requested their hottest version. It was a welcome addition to the meal (gratis). A little vinegary, but plenty of heat. The mocktail was quite good. Like Spindrift and some other sparkling waters, it is not sweetened, but it had a good amount of strained blood orange juice, and you could taste the fresh jalapeño. I wonder if they have tried adding mint to this as I think it would be welcome. Maybe next time I will ask if they can experiment with me by adding some mint.

    Came here for lunch with a few coworkers and we left not feeling impressed. The food portions were…read moresmaller than we expected and it didn't really taste that good, not to mention the price for what you get isn't really worth it. It was very loud inside as I think they were making pico and using the multipurpose chopper. It got so loud at one point that we couldn't even talk with each other without having to practically scream. The decoration is beautiful though and feels like you're at a Mexican mom's fancy kitchen. Service was not good at all. We had to wait over 15 minutes to get our order taken and then we watched our food stand on the counter top for another 5 minutes. Once we were served we were never checked up on until the end when we had to flag them down to get the check. I don't think we'll be coming back.
