The food was really good! The server seemed very overwhelmed but nice guy! He was initially annoyed because we wanted water no ice but he slowly warmed up to us. Nice cute cozy place. The lamb bowl was sooooo good! The quesadilla was really good too! The chicken bowl was okay - kinda bland.

Unbelievable Yelp said this was a number one restaurant for Mexican food as close to me as I am on Vilano Beach, which is ridiculous cause this place is awful when they don't give you everything you order to their website is terrible. They have a section that says no and then you have 13 items to pick from that says no to and then if you don't do anything or you're confused and you order on the telephone with them, they give you a completely basic piece of yuck And they don't give you everything you order if you come in to pick up like a local wood just awful. Look at the picture there's a section that you have to say no to these 13 items which we don't understand we asked them verbally and you don't get anything just awful.

Mexican casually served on disposable dishes. Queso birria was excellent and traditional prepared with lamb. Great view of the Metanzas River.

We stopped in for lunch and it was well worth it. The food was delicious and our server, Tammi was wonderful. The location just beside the water gave us a lovely view as well

Came here last year and had an amazing experience. Food was delicious, and we felt like we were stepping into a family member's house to eat. Large portions, beautiful plates and silverware, and quaint, cozy ambiance in America's oldest city. Fast forward to Saturday the 14th, and I'm back again with family visiting from out of the country. The food was good, but the vibe was a bit different. Started with chips & salsa - good, but hardly any chips. We had 3/4 of a dish of salsa remaining after finishing the chips, and we were told that we would have to pay for a refill of chips. Very sad! We also ordered two taco platters, and three chicken quesadilla platters. Food was good, but the side portions (beans and rice) were very small, and served in tiny plastic cups. The plates and silverware were replaced with cardboard plates/trays and plastic cutlery. Although the food was good, the presentation was disappointing. Our waitress did a good job, so kudos to her! $120+ before a tip - a couple more chips would have been nice, and real plates and silver would have been amazing.....just saying. read more

It's been a common joke to us San Diegans that you can't find good Mexican food in Florida. Mayita just disproved that, but to be fair they are probably the lone example. We assumed this would just be a simple taco shop but we were wrong. The proprietor takes pride in his work and it shows. This was like a gourmet version of a Mexican food establishment. For a brief moment, I thought I was back in San Diego, right down to the Jaritos with the tacos. Well done. read more

I'm so impressed!! Going to FL from TX, have little expectations on Mexican food but I was proven wrong because Mayita was amazing. I got the lamb birria bowl and it was so tender ans well seasoned. Their rice bowls are very much like chipotle style in components but fresher. Avocadoes are fresh and tasty and they have a bunch of different kinds of hot sauces and salsa on the side. Plaintain chips are good but I wish they were warm/hot. my friends like their beef burritos a lot too. Their ranking was lamb then beef, pork, chicken. Love that the menu is quite simple and easy to order. The staffs are so friendly and helpful and location is right across the Castillo de San Marcos fortress. Would def come back. read more

Visited the Fort in St Augustine and were quite hungry afterwards, so we were looking for a kid friendly and delicious spot that would satisfy our taste buds. Mayita did not disappoint! We were seated quickly and offered drinks- my children love that they have jarritos. We got chips with salsa and queso. The queso was excellent and the salsa tasted fresh. My husband and I got bowls - pork and chicken. Both were excellent. My children got a burrito, quesadilla, and tacos. They also got fruit which looked amazing and was served with lime and Tajín. If you're in the st Augustine historical district, definitely stop into this cute little place. You will not be disappointed! read more

Went by at 1:30 today - first time based on great reviews. Spent 20 minutes looking for parking, finally had to pay $10. Get to restaurant - closed! Sign on door said back at 11:00. It's now 2.5 hours later and still closed. Unless there was an emergency, this is poor form. Will not make a trip from WGV again, just for a meal, but may give it another try if I happen to be downtown. read more

This restaurant was a very nice surprise in our last visit to St Augustine. Everything was great, from how cordial and accommodating the staff is, the view to the bay and the carriages outside, to the quality of the food. We had the guacamole as a starter, very tasty and accompanied with, instead of traditional nachos, 4 tostadas. We then had the best tacos al pastor we've had in a while, the adobo seasoning not overwhelming but present and the small pineapple chunks in the right proportion. Highly recommended. read more

What a great breakfast spot that recently opened on the water front in downtown St. Augustine! We were so fortunate to find this new spot as apparently the word isn't out YET! We were quickly seated and served. It's an "actual restaurant" where you are handed a menu and they take your order instead of ordering at the counter like many places in St. Augustine. The food was outstanding and service was fabulous. The ambiance includes a Cuban vibe that accompanies the fabulous menu selections. Our party of four ordered the breakfast platter, omelets and breakfast taco...all were delicious! The coffee was especially yummy too. I would give this place ten stars if I could. Do yourself a favor and GO enjoy a great meal with a great view. read more

Amazing staff, this family owned business goes out of their way to make your meal a memory in their restaurant. Feels like you are in a cafe in a small town. Greeted with a smile and a description of the daily specials. They offer special flavored waters like hibiscus and pineapple, prompt to refill drinks. The food was excellent, don't regret asking them for their recommendation. Standard dishes like enchiladas and quesadilla are elevated with flavor here. If I'm ever back in St. Augustine this is where I will visit. read more

Our commitment to time-honored cooking methods and original recipes means that our dishes may not cater to everyone’s palate, but for those seeking a genuine taste of Mexico, we offer an unparalleled experience. We take pride in staying true to our culinary heritage, ensuring that each meal reflects the rich and diverse flavors that define Mexican gastronomy.

History

Established in 2021.

The original maya was established in 2007, it was a small venue and its success with locals and its unique eclectic menu and healthy and fresh approach to its food made it a staple in historic downtown St. Augustine, after expanding the business to its bigger location across the street, they felt that something was lost with the expansion of the business and wanted to small location to be able to give the food and service that made them popular in the first place, something that can only be done in small venue environment.

Meet the Business Owner: Marco B.

As the son of the original owner of Casa Maya I had the fortune of growing up and learning my moms recipes and the the passion and effort my parents placed on giving their customers the best products they could. It was the nostalgia of remembering my family that made me make the mayita to try and again give people a side of mexico very few experience and to be continue the traditions of true dishes while enjoying it in a faster more accessible way through to go and delivery and fast timing!

The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

It was a pretty cold and uncomfortable welcome. That said, the restaurant is absolutely charming. I really loved the interior ambiance--it's cozy, well-decorated, and has a very pleasant vibe. The food was extremely delicious. We ordered the Half Pound Ice Plant Burger and it was juicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. You could taste the quality in every single bite--the meat was perfect, the ingredients fresh, and everything very well balanced. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had recently. Despite the initial host experience, I would return without hesitation for the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended, but they could improve the initial greeting.

There was a walk thru to a pricey steakhouse, but not hidden so not really a Speak Easy concept if that was the intent.

We stopped at Prohibition Kitchen in St. Augustine and had a really solid experience overall. The…read moreplace has a great atmosphere dark, vintage speakeasy vibe with live music, neon accents, and a lively energy that makes it feel more like a night-out destination than just a restaurant. The food was good across the board. The burgers stood out as the highlight juicy, flavorful, and cooked well. The fries and appetizers were also solid, and portions were generous enough to leave satisfied. The drink menu is extensive too, with a strong cocktail selection that fits the whole Prohibition theme. Service was friendly and generally on point, even though it was busy. The staff kept things moving and checked in without being intrusive.

Tatum was so kind and on top of my to‑go order! She greeted me right away, and when I told her I had a to‑go order, she knew exactly what it was without any confusion, which made the whole pickup feel really easy and calm. The green smoothie was fresh, The Works bagel was loaded and REALLY satisfying (and perfectly filling), and the chickpea salad from the fridge case made an easy, healthy meal for later. It's the kind of 'healthy hippie' spot I look for on trips, and I'd definitely stop here again!! I don't know how many times I said "oh wow, that's so good!!" even though I was eating by myself.

Unfortunately I was stuffed from the crab cake appetizer and the side salad I ordered so I couldn't eat too much. My husband had the andouille crusted grouper which he said was fantastic. My son ordered the southern fried chicken tenders which he said were just ok since they were kind of soft and not very crispy. We sat in the alley/patio area and the seating and ambiance was absolutely beautiful. Service was excellent as well. I'd definitely recommend this place!

Arrival: There are parking lots nearby--expect to pay around $15-25. As we walked up, there was live jazz music playing in the courtyard, which set a really great vibe right away. Service: Our waiter was attentive and timely without being overbearing. Food: Everything was amazing. We started with the bread service--the truffle butter was definitely the highlight (we didn't care too much for the ricotta spread). FYI: the little cubes that look like white cheddar are *not* cheese...I learned that the hard way by biting into a square of butter. For dinner, I had the cacio e pepe and he ordered the 100 lasagna. Portions were a bit smaller than expected, but honestly fine after filling up on bread. For dessert, we shared an affogato--the espresso wasn't burnt (which is surprisingly rare), so that was a big win. Overall: After the Resy credit, parking ended up costing more than the meal, which is kind of wild. Only downside was that there are just two restrooms, and there was a line when we went. Great time overall--will definitely be back.

We started with the bread appetizer, which came with several types of fresh bread and an incredible lineup of spreads like whipped ricotta, truffle butter, regular butter, and honey. Every bread had its own distinct flavor and texture. Next up was the sausage appetizer featuring both a sweet sausage and a spicy sausage, all made in house. They were cooked perfectly and served in a flavorful sauce with peppers that tied everything together. The balance between the sweet and spicy was so good. For my entree, I ordered the lasagna, and it was pure comfort. It reminded me so much of the classic lasagna I grew up eating, layered with rich Bolognese and a creamy bechamel sauce that made it feel both nostalgic and elevated. My boyfriend went with the steak (I believe it's a New York strip) and swapped a few of the sides to his liking. The steak was absolutely cooked to perfection, a beautiful medium rare. I may or may not have stolen about four bites... and yes, it was worth it..... We were way too full for dessert, but we did enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner which made the whole experience feel like the perfect date night. The service was fantastic, the food was memorable, and it's definitely a place we'll be coming back to for many more dates!

This place is truly something special. From the moment you walk in, the decor and atmosphere are absolutely charming--elegant, whimsical, and giving a fun Bridgerton vibe. The staff and owners were incredibly ,warm welcoming, and genuinely kind. You can tell they truly care about the experience they create for every guest. Between the two of us over two visits, we shared several menu items, and every single one was exceptional. Every coffee we tried was phenomenal--the Lavender Latte, Chaga-ccino, Cinnamon Mocha Latte, and Churro Cold Brew were all beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious. I truly can't pick a favorite because every single one was that good. The food was just as outstanding, with generous portions and incredible flavor. We highly recommend the B.E.C.ky, the Better Than..., the Venetian, and the Tulum Sammie. My personal favorites were the Venetian and the Tulum Sammie--both were absolute perfection. It is rare to find a place where the food, coffee, service, and atmosphere all exceed expectations, but The Modern Rose does exactly that. I only wish we had something even half this good back home. They have only been open a little over a year, and I have a feeling that as more people discover just how wonderful this place is, reservations will become a must. This will absolutely be a must-visit for us every time we return to St. Augustine.

I had a really good experience at this restaurant. The lamb quessabirria was absolutely delicious, it was good on its own but the sauces it came with made it exceptional. The plantains chips were also really good, crisp with a hint of sweetness. The only thing I did not like was the horchata, it tasted almost like cinnamon water. However, the mango fruit cup made up for it, it was so fresh and delicious. If you're lucky enough to sit by the window (which we did), you will get an amazing view of the river and the passing boats. Our server was also very attentive and answered our questions adequately. I would definitely come back here. read more

We sat down and enjoyed an amazing meal, while people stood outside the place trying to decide if they should come in, ultimately walking on. Do not stand outside this place. Come in! The food was amazing! They serve wine and hemp drinks that will do everything that alcohol does, but in a more mellow fashion. I couldn't rate this place higher. read more
