So it is Mexican food, the chips and salsa aren't something you would brag about. The drink selection is kind of gimmicky. I ordered a margarita and they didn't provide or offer water on the side. I grew up with California burritos which have French fries, carne asada, veggies, and cheese. The restaurant offers a burrito California which seems to be just a burrito with avocado. Obviously not the same. I ordered the chile Colorado burrito which can be described as a saucy taquito dosed in cheese with rice and pico on the side. How I would rank the burrito - Meh How i would rank the drink - not bad How would I rank service- middle of the road. The waitress pretty much asked me as I'm sitting down what I would like to drink. This is fine if I'm a regular that dines here often but this the first time for me. I honestly can't see a difference from other Mexican restaurants in this area. read more

Delicious food & pleasant staff. I met two friends there and dined on their patio. Beautiful evening added to our experience. It's right on Williamsburg Rd in Sandston so the traffic can sometimes be a bit noisy. Overall, a wonderful atmosphere without feeling rushed. The cucumber margaritas were a great complement to our shrimp cucaracha appetizer & my meal. I had the birria empanadas (?) I apologize for my lack of knowledge with the entrees. Regardless, what I had was spectacular. I plan on bringing others in the future. Thanks for a lovely evening! read more

Finally went back to Mayas and I'm pleased. I ordered delivery via doordash I can't speak too much on the service. This time my food had much more flavor! I got the tacos al pastor. While the menu says the pineapple is grilled, it clearly looks like pineapple tidbits from the can however, the taste was still there. I wont hesitate to try more next time. read more

Amazing experience all around. The service was truly excellent--we arrived close to closing time and ended up staying a few minutes after, chatting with the servers, and they were incredibly kind and welcoming about it. You could tell they genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. We ordered an assortment of dips and dishes, and everything was really enjoyable. One standout for me was the chips--they had spices and seasoning on them, which I loved and thought was a unique touch. I know that might be a personal preference, as not everyone in our group was as into it, but it definitely stood out to me in a good way. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were delicious and very satisfying. On top of the great food and service, the restaurant was decorated for Christmas and it looked amazing, adding such a fun and cozy atmosphere. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend this place. read more

I went here on a Wednesday night to catch up with an old friend. Upon arriving there is plenty of parking to both sides. Walking in there is a bar area and tables. We were greeted and seated in a booth. The booth seats were a little odd in that the table is lower than I'm used to but it was fine. We had the chips and salsa and they were solid. Our server was attentive and nice. I told them I had a garlic allergy and they made sure to cook my fajitas with no garlic and it was really good. I would definitely come back. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! Fresh and authentic guac, queso, pico and food in general...this is a must!!!! Went 2 nights in a row read more

My disclaimer is that I do NOT like Mexican food, but I would eat here every day if I could afford to. I'm not sure if this is the case, but for me, its the cheese. I think they might use a different type of cheese that I actually like. I've tried several things on the menu. I mostly go during happy hour, so the empanadas, tacos, and birria fries are some of the dishes I've enjoyed. I've also been outside of happy hour and order the same things. I also love their chips and salsa. The pickiest child in my house even enjoys the food here. They've had the little donkey chicken burrito meal (they sub the beans and rice for fries). Their kids meals are a pretty good portion and filling enough for even an adult just from looking at the plates. The staff were kind, attentive, and understood exactly what I needed for my children before I had the chance to ask. I love that it is always clean and I've never had to wait to be seated. Maya's will always be a top choice. read more

All I can say is YUM! This place is such a hidden gem. The chips are one of kind with their sprinkled with their special seasoning. Their salsa is chunky and so flavorful. I had the Tacos de Birria and WOW! The meet was so tender. The sauce was so flavorful. The pickled onions with the perfect topping. The service was great! We will be returning. read more

Customer service 10/10. They were all so kind! Chicken quesadilla, amazing! It's was so buttery and cheesy Al's had so much chicken in it. Fries needed sauce.... But not the spicy sauce that comes with it. We will get that again but maybe with a side of queso to put on there... the empanadas were very bland. Even with the dipping sauces. I wasn't a fan of that. Ribeye, delicious. The place was very cute. We will def eat there again! read more

Never been to Sandston near the airport, but passed a lot of food options for eating. We decided on this place. You can see it from the street because it has lights decorating it and music you can hear outside. There is definitely a vibe as you come in. It is not a huge place, but that's what makes this place more personable and their quick service is also a plus. I learned online they have a second restaurant on Broad Street. Everyone is friendly and nice. On this trip, we started with their complimentary chips. They packed some flavor and not your typical chips you buy at a store. Online, it shows you have to pay for them, but at the restaurant it was free and got seconds. My husband ordered the Birria Quesadilla, as you will see in many of my reviews. He devoured it, so he must have loved it. I had the chicken fajita which sizzled its way to the table and came with a free facial. LOL. It was really good with big portions. Had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. This is a great food spot. I will continue to visit. read more

Called to place a order for pick up. I got hung up on. Then I realized that maybe the person answering the phone didnt speak English. He was listing for key items on the menu but didnt understand anything else. So I called back twice. No answer. I decided to call from my other phone and someone immediately picked up. I asked if there was someone available who spoke English so I could place my order, I then started speaking Spanish and I was hung up on again. I called back 8 times and no one answered. I would never spend my money at a restaurant that gets upset with me because they dont speak English. I live out of the country and have to speak a foreign language everyday, so I was willing to speak Spanish to try to communicate. But hanging up on me and then refusing to answer is absolutely unacceptable for any reason. A restaurant should be welcoming business and being accommodating to guests to help them place their order. Whoever answer the phone was very rude. I hope it wasn't the owner because that is NOT how businesses should be ran. A complete disappointment of an establishment. Ill take my $200 order to another restaurant that respects people, especially ones who dont speak Spanish right away. read more

Mayas Latin Kitchen - The back to back calls after I was hung upnon and ignored - Tacos Near Me - Sandston, Virginia

What a hidden gem!!! This place is tucked away by the airport and has the cutest exterior. The inside is small and quaint but decorated tastefully. Now for the real deal... the margaritas and food are to die for. There was nothing we tried that was just "okay" - it was all an absolute hit. On top of this, the service was quick and so friendly. We accidentally left our to-go box on the table, and we pulled out of our parking space to find our server standing outside grinning at us with the box in hand. I am so glad this place was recommended to us and I can't wait to try more of the menu. read more

Maya's Latin Kitchen offers a great variety of dishes and the food itself was excellent. We tried their steak, shrimp fajitas, chilaquiles burritos, chicken tacos, huevos rancheros, along with guacamole, chips, and Jarritos in our few visits: everything had authentic taste and delicious. Unfortunately, the customer service was disappointing. The staff seemed more focused on tips than on providing a pleasant dining experience, which left a bad impression despite the quality of the food. Overall, the food was great, but the service definitely needs improvement. read more

Visiting from San Diego, my expectations were high but I was not disappointed. Just happened to be taco Tuesday and I enjoyed three tacos (fish, birria, and steak), with a house margarita and the most deliciously seasoned basket of complimentary chips and salsa. Friendly service and the place was packed! They definitely need a larger parking lot. read more

A friend recently suggested this place for taco Tuesday and then I was already back last night. The chips and salsa are great, as is the "white salsa", a VA special. The spicy margarita did not disappoint and the steak quesadilla was delicious and a huge portion. Service is friendly and pretty quick and the restaurant looks like a cantina. I'm glad to have such tasty food so close in Sandston! read more

The food was very good. Our chips were different than at a Mexican restaurant. They were thicker with an interesting seasoning. We liked them. I had the chicken tacos and my husband had the fish tacos. The service was fantastic and we liked the decor. We will be back. read more

I ordered a kiwi coconut margarita and steak fajitas! They were bout really good. The fajitas however had more veggies than meat

First off the service was really great. We had a bigger party so the waitress was really patient with us. The food was very good although I did not like the tortilla chips. I think it was the seasoning on them, the place is a bit small inside but it was clean! read more

Saw this just pop up near my work. Took a chance and now they have a permanent customer. Ordered 3 single tocos to test it out. Chorizo was awesome and cooked perfect. Al Pastor was delicious and made perfectly. Birra was flavorful and juicy and left you wanting more. Three fantastic tacos. Also had the Birra empanada, which made me sigh with delicious happiness. My new "go to" taco place. So happy they are here now. read more

Mayas Latin Kitchen - Steak Quesadilla & Pancho Villa Burrito w Birria Sauce - Tacos Near Me - Sandston, Virginia

I had high hopes of this restaurant after reading reviews. 1. The service was absolutely terrible, we were out of drinks the entire time because the waiter was nowhere to be found. 2. I have celiacs disease, I got the chicken tortilla soup, USUALLY you list all ingredients in the menu. No where on the menu did it say that there were noodles in the soup. Imagine my surprise when I tried to get it and a big noodle came out of the soup. 3. The music was entirely too loud for the restaurant and has my coworkers and I yelling at year other the entire time. read more

If you haven't been here, you're missing out. The building is beautiful with a very friendly staff. The birria tacos and consume were phenomenal. The drinks were also perfectly mixed.

I just moved to the area and was looking for something to eat and saw the reviews were pretty good so I wanted to try for myself... when I say they did not disappoint! We went on a Tuesday evening during happy hour. The service there was great, were greeted as soon as we entered and were able to sit down immediately. It's a nice quiet restaurant from the parking lot we thought they were packed but there were only a few people inside. I wish I had taken more pictures but the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Birria Quesadilla and my mom ordered the chicken fajitas. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food along with the queso, guacamole and chips. The margaritas were also good. I'm already thinking about my next visit! read more

I had the fish tacos they were the best ones I have had outside of San Diego! They empanadas are delish, service was friendly and good. We will be back and hopefully soon! read more

Ate dinner last night and I feel for this area the prices are too high. The salsa was a little watery but, fresh. There is no heat to the salsa. The chips are a bit thick and hard for my husband to eat because of dentures. You have an option with the tacos to get 2 tacos with Spanish rice or beans or get 3 tacos with no sides. The meat lacked seasoning. My husband says his steak was tough and too much cheese on the quesadillas. Says missing seasoning. I feel the price that they are charging you should get sides. The service was slow but the atmosphere was nice. May not return due to the many options for Mexican food in the area. read more

A friend recommended Maya's and took me and my wife there for dinner and the restaurant is very clean with inviting ambience and decor and the staff were all super friendly and attentive. I got the Poncho Villa burrito which has birria, melted cheese, onions, rice, crema, cilantro and chips and salsa and it was delicious. The portions are generous, so there's absolutely no worries about getting your money's worth to be had. Everything tasted fantastic and I would recommend people to check out Maya's Latin Kitchen 10 times out of 10 read more

Good taste quick service good deal on drink specials great price for value and quality of food

We've been to Maya's a bunch of times since they've opened, and have loved everything. Their enchiladas are really flavorful, their tortas (basically a melty sandwich) are to die for, the maduros are so sweet with the best dipping sauce, and their agua frescas are so refreshing (basically they're various infused juices). Their chips are well seasoned, and their queso is flavorful. Everything is much more authentic than what you'd normally find at an American Mexican restaurant. We've had both takeout and eaten in restaurant, and have been pleased every time. They're also open much later than most Sandston spots, which is great. Highly recommend! read more

Not a big fan of the chips or salsa. It's too much. Just do what every other Mexican restaurant does, don't over-engineer it. The queso was bad. I don't know why but there was a bad odor and one of the ingredients must have spoiled. I ordered the mixed fajitas. The steak was really good. The shrimp and chicken were very overcooked and rubbery and nasty. read more
