Excellent food and service. The menu is extensive and I decided on the lamb shank with rice and white beans. The dish was quite tasty alone but also came with an extra two dipping sauces that complimented well. I paired it with the South American Cabernet. Wait staff was attentive and food came out fast. read more

Whenever we're passing through the area, we make it a point of stopping here. The food is consistently delicious. The sides are excellent. It reminds me of my mom's cooking. Everything is excellent. I'm a particular fan of their papas a la huacaina. Give it a try! read more

It all started with an empty restaurant. Then the server's uninspired approach to our table. Drinks were good and came out in a reasonable amount of time. Ordered the Empanada tasting which is one steak, chicken and sausage. A few minutes later the u inspired server brings 2 of the same flavor when there should have been 3 different flavors. The manager corrected the issue and we started tasting and sampling and quickly realized that there wasn't much flavor to any of them and the sauce tasted like it had sat open in the refrigerator for weeks. One bite of each was enough to stop eating them! Then along came dinner..... Lomo Saltado and it was more disappointing than the appetizers! The steak chunks were not seasoned, the dish was very dry and the fries and vegetables were not seasoned. This meal doesn't even rate 1 star and they should be ashamed of their service and products!! Overall my review says don't eat at Mayta's!! It was a complete waste of money and time!! Horrible service and food!! read more

This is a cute place that's in a larger strip mall area with a lot of other food options,. The music was bit too loud for my taste, but overall the experience there was pleasant. The food, they have a great lunch option and we took advantage of that, an app, main dish, and drink for $18 Their empanadas were 5/5, great filling and flavor, nice crunch/flakey dough and I would 100% recommend. The meats, now y'all know, if you have been reading any of my reviews that I like my steak/meats a particular sort of way. just to preference! I got their Lomo saltado and the steak was TOUGH, not uneatable tough, but tough enough to not really enjoy my meal. But besides the meat being tough, I couldn't really taste the aji amarillo flavor and didn't have much flavor in general, just a little salty. The fries were great crispy on the bottom and were prepared well. For a dish that's almost $30, they should use a better cut of meat. overall, not a great experience 2/5. My wife got their steak skewers and similarly, the meat was too tough, and didn't' have too much flavor. also very mid. Overall, the place was cute but just lacking in terms of their food. I would maybe go back to try more things (but really to eat their empanadas) but with almost spending $70 for pretty terrible main course meals was unfortunate. read more

Very delicious Peruvian food! I came with a large group of friends one night, and we were able to get seated immediately. Everyone got a different dish and shared a few bites with each other.

This place was cool. My first time here - enough room for large parties. The services was polite. They have screens if you want to watch a game while you're eating. Peruvian food isn't the same without the green sauce and I was disappointed that they didn't have any and just had regular hot sauce. read more

This was a food truck at a winery I attended. They had multiple items available that were mostly appetizers. We had a big order, so it took some time to be prepared, but it was ready when the staff told us it would be. I had the empanada sampler and the chicken skewers. There were three different empanadas: chicken, chorizo, and beef. The texture of these were okay. I would have liked them to be crispier. The fillings were much better as I preferred the beef one the most. It was the tastiest to me. The chorizo was a little plain. The chicken skewers were the highlight here. They were tender with lots of flavor. They also came with a side in which we chose Yuca fries which were solid. There was also a green sauce and spicy aioli present. They were both alright, nothing great. I also tried the French fries and they were enjoyable with a nice crunch factor. Will I go back? Probably. read more

So apparently, they had a remodel , the recent reviews were mixed, so I was like, maybe it won't be so bad. I wanted something light and not so heavy, as it was hot outside. I started with empanadas. Wrong choice. Im start off by saying DO NOT get these! For $12 I got two small empanadas! Chicken! The chicken was dry! Barely any stuffing!! Look at the Insides! I used the yellow garlic sauce to make it edible, and it didn't help. The house dressings didn't help. The crust was deep fried in old oil because my empanadas were kinda burned. Papa's Huacuana.It is one of my favorite Peruvian dishes. However, it wasn't as flavorful as I would except to be, like El Cuzco in Langley Park. The service could have better. It wasn't even busy. Like 2 other families at the time. I had to ask... for water refills. By the time my waitress came to check on me, it was at the end of my meal. I told her about my empanada ordeal. She said to me she'll talk to them, I'm thinking they were going to rectify or other other options. She disappeared and had nothing and no solutions. I had to ask for my check. I hope the owner reads all the negative reviews on the empanadas because they Improvement. 2 stars is being generous. read more

Maytag's Peruvian Cuisine is a great Peruvian restaurant off of I-270 in Frederick, MD. As you walk in, you are greeted with lively music, colorful decor and an airy atmosphere. The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome. Their menu has a wide array of appetizers, entrees and sandwiches. They also have a full bar and a large selection of beers, some of which are the restaurant's brand. I chose the pulled chicken sandwich, which was delicious! The sauce had just the right balance of sweet and spicy. You will not leave this restaurant hungry because the portions are enormous. Definitely check out Mayta's if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed! read more

Sorry that there are no photos but we had a great meal here tonight. Great food, reasonable prices, and huge portions. Highly recommend. I am a foodie that eats everywhere in the area and surprise led this was under my radar for so long. Lived in Frederick for 20 years and this was our first time there. The restaurant was kinda slow on a Thursday a night. Check it out. They deserve a full dining room. read more

I was with a small group of ladies, and it was a first for me. Standing outside, looking at the menu was a bit overwhelming. So many, too many choices for me. Once we sat down, we saw the smaller version, where you can pay once price for a smaller selection of appetizer, main dish and dessert. Perfect for someone like me! I had the brussel sprouts, the chicken and flan. The portion size of the dinner was huge, more than I could actually eat (and also save a bit of space for the dessert). Two of the women didn't order off of the special, and they also had huge plates of food. Our service was prompt and attentive. We were the only ones in the restaurant, as we arrived very early for a dinner seating. Overall, food was delicious, seating was comfy and the location had plenty of close and well-lit parking. read more

The food was really fresh and the flavors delicious. I had a very good salad and then the Ceviche was just delicious! The service was a bit inattentive and we spent longer waiting to order and later to pay than typical, but the food is quite good and fresh! read more

This is one of the easiest 5 stars I've given on yelp. Best Peruvian restaurant I've been to and maybe my favorite place to eat in the Frederick area! The Chef owner Jorge is an awesome dude that goes a step beyond and makes sure you're enjoying yourself. The food is spectacular, I've ordered different things at different times and was always impressed with the freshness of the dish and cheered up by how delicious everything was. The ambiance of the place is relaxing with Peruvian music videos playing in the background. I highly recommend this place! read more

Yesterday, I went with my family for the first time, and it was incredibly delicious! My husband, mom, and I ordered the Lomo Saltado, which was juicy and full of flavor. I'm not sure what they added to the bottom of the plate, but it paired well with everything. My dad had the carne asada and enjoyed every bite. The owner/manager and staff were friendly and welcoming. Thanks for having us!! We'll be back soon!!! read more

This place is a mess. I placed an online order over $100 for pickup, paid ahead w tip, to be ready several hours later. I showed up at that time and they were surprised and said 25 minutes. I've been waiting 45 minutes and they no longer can give me an ETA?? They are going to give me a refund now so sadly I can't comment on the food. read more

This is my new favorite go to Peruvian restaurant! The empanadas were delicious as were the papas a la huancaina, chupe, yuca, churros, etc. All great. The pisco sours were outstanding as well! Very friendly service and clean atmosphere to boot. Shout out to our waiter Enrique. We'll be back to try the lomo saltado! read more

If you look up: Why is Peruvian food so good? Here's what you'll find: "Peruvian dishes can be so diverse, with so many ingredients to choose from, but there's one common aspect: freshness. No matter how simple, every Peruvian dish values its components' freshness." I couldn't imagine a better way to describe Mayta's other than to add that having great owners (which this place does) is the reason why good food can change your day, and man, every time I've been here it really hits the spot. read more

We were looking at trying something new in Frederick and I've been craving peruvian food...so we came across Maytas. It's located in a shopping center, so parking is easily available. We walked in around 430 and it was pretty empty. They had a small bar and several tables, both inside and outside. I wasn't sure what to order, but figured I had yo try their chicken. We starred with drinks and also ordered causa with tuna. My husband was excited to try their beer. He started with the IPA, however, he preferred the lager. I ordered a passionfruit Mai Tai, which was pretty good. The causa came out and tasted so good. The cold mashed potatoes mixed with the tuna and special sauce was perfection. My husband really enjoyed the Lomo saltado. Their chicken was good and flavorful, especially with their dipping sauce. The chauffa rice was good, but I do prefer it at another restaurant. I also got yucca as a side, which was fresh and delicious, especially when you dip it in their spicy sauce. We wanted to try rice pudding, but they were out. I got the passionfruit cheesecake. It tasted good, but it was more of a flan consistency than actual cheesecake, which I wasn't expecting. Our server was really nice and helpful, but service seemed a bit slow overall. Took a while to get drinks and our bill. Overall, good spot in Frederick, and we would definitely go back. read more

Newly opened location is much larger. They no longer lack space and the flavors are still delicious. Have been here on several occasions and they never disappoint! There are many Peruvian places closer to our home but the service, atmosphere and menu keep us coming back despite the long drive from MoCo. This time we ordered (3xs) classic ceviches, charbroiled chicken, 4-pack beer/ spirits and 3 Classico desserts, total was $120. Their menu is pricey, but to be expected given the large portions and amazing flavors. Come try for yourself. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

Just tried their food truck & so impressed. At Frey's Brewery! Chicken skewers & Empanadas

This place was so empty so we decided to go. The food was OK. The meat was chewy service was OK but the most thing that got us was the price of the food. It was way overpriced. I have never paid so much for a Lomo saltado I will never come here . Oh, and don't let me forget the soda each was six dollars SMH ‍ read more

Im pretty disappointed. I ordered the "Chicharrón de Pollo//Ultra Crispy fried chicken" and what I got was sweet and sour chicken, you might as well call this place Panda Express. Watered down Peruvian food. Much better Peruvian places out there. Don't waste your time. read more

The food was absolutely AMAZING!!! Nice atmosphere. Very courteous staff!! Will definitely return!!

My family and I decided to try Mayta's Peruvian Cuisine for lunch today. We were the only table seated in the restaurant around lunch time. Although we were surprised by the dishes we ordered because it was very tasty and there weren't any other guests in the restaurant. We decided we wanted to try different dishes so for starters, we tried the Empanada Tasting which consisted of three different types of empanadas with different fillings to include chicken, ground beef and sausage. We enjoyed the sausage empanadas because the crust was crispy and the filling was creamy and savory. Then for the main meals, my husband ordered the Peruvian Pollada which was de-boned chicken in a yellow Huanacaina sauce, which was very delicious. Then I ordered the Picante de Mariscos con Tacu Tacu with Amarillo cream sauce, which I loved. The fresh seafood contained mussels, shrimp, and calamari pieces. Then my kids had the dark meat quarter chicken with white rice and fries. My son who is a picky eater said he really liked the chicken, rice, and steak fries. My only complaint is that our lunch was a bit on the pricey side but the food was excellent and the portions were good. We definitely would come and try other dishes the next time. read more

Excellent food, great atmosphere, wonderful service. A certifiable 10 out of 10. If you have never tried Peruvian cuisine we highly recommend this place. Dan & Jenny read more

new to atea. My 2nd time eating Mayta's. Had take out and ate there. great spot! Nice people and great food. Gotta try the inca cola if you never had. Great chicken. 5 star. read more

I came here for lunch and wasn't impressed. The lunch special is $17 for 3 courses which is a good deal. However, I didn't think the quality was good. The fish ceviche was meh. Not sure why they put a piece of lettuce on the bottom of the dish. The chicken dish I had had a few small pieces of fried chicken and a huge heap of rice that I didn't find appealing. Also, the server brought out the chicken when I was still eating the ceviche so my food was cold when I got to it. The rice pudding was watery but had a decent flavor. I can't say this place did it for me and I won't be returning. read more

I'm not an expert on Peruvian cuisine and actually think this is the first "Peruvian"restaurant I've been to but I loved it! I wanted to order their entire appetizer menu! We did limit ourselves to the Empanada Tasting, Spanish Octopus Tiradito and the Causa with Tuna. We also got the Organic Quinoa Chaufa with Shrimp. The Empanadas are a basic order but I love all things empanada. Their trio included chicken, chorizo and beef. I believe they were house made. All were quite good, if a tad on the doughy side. The fillings did not seem to have much more additions besides the meat and seasonings, unlike some empanadas that add egg, raisins, veggies, etc. They came with a side of sauce that I believe was Aji Amarillo. I love the idea of a dipping sauce but this sauce was probably the most underwhelming thing of the meal, it was remarkable in that it basically had no flavor. The Spanish Octopus Tiradito was a gorgeous and delicious dish! Thin slices of marinated white and pink octopus in a sea of purple aioli made from olives and topped with crunchy chulpi corn. The lemony octopus and the salty olive sauce and crunch corn was just wonderful! The Causa Tuna was another beautiful dish. It was also a supremely refreshing dish in a very hot day. The mashed potatoes were supposedly spicy but I didn't think there was much spice. It was served with their "special sauce" which I believe is the Aji Amarillo which worked better with this dish than the empanadas but still don't think it had much flavor. I still loved the dish though as the other components had plenty of flavor. The shrimp skewers on the Quinoa Chaufa were cooked perfectly and the slightly sweet and spicy sauce on the Chaufa was delicious. They also serve their own beer which is wonderful as was the cold Pisco Sour I enjoyed. I was expecting a bit of a "hole in the wall" restaurant but it is really beautifully decorated with lots of pops of color and beautiful murals. The menu is pretty big so everyone should be able to find something they like even the non adventurous diners (see roasted chicken as one of their specialties). Service was quick and friendly. Might even be able to make another stop here before my time in Maryland is over. Really enjoyed this place and would love to come back. Please enjoy this locally owned and operated treasure of a restaurant! read more

I do not understand how this place has so many good reviews. If I could give zero stars I would. We went for takeout when the restaurant was empty and ordered to-go at the bar. Literally no one else was there. The employee took my husband's order (he went in alone) and after about 20 minutes, the same employee comes back and asks: "Can I help you with anything?" Seriously!? He told her that he was waiting for his order. About 20 minutes later, he gets the order. I checked it and we got white beans instead of black beans. So he went back in, they apologized and offered him a free dessert. That was very nice of her, but the dessert was terrible. It was like a punishment instead of an apology. Lol. We got home and opened everything. First of all, it seemed like the person who made the beans emptied a can of beans without draining , added some water and mistakenly dropped an unidentified BONE into them. They were disgusting and flavorless. Next, the chicken looked promising, but when we turned it over, we realized it was not cleaned at all and smelled as such. I took photos but cannot find them. Will add/update if I do. My husband ordered online from there a second time by mistake. As soon as he realized, less than 5 minutes later, he called to cancel...THIRTY times! No one answered but the order went through anyway and we were charged Allin all it was a was a waste of money and a terrible experience. read more

Was looking for a local restaurant with Peruvian Chicken and came across this restaurant. I give 5 stars because of the decor, friendly restaurant staff and the food was amazing. I honestly, felt like for a moment in time I was in another country dining at a restaurant. This place is worth visiting. I live an hour and thirty minutes away and I'm going back to try more on their menu. Very authentic Peruvian food. I got a few pictures and could have gotten more but I was to busy enjoying my meal. Lol, seriously! Try this place out for yourself. Nice place for lunch or dinner. Great place for first dates, gathering to meet friends for lunch or dinner and nice for a family dinner.

The food, service, and ambiance were nice! Besides the Peruvian cuisine, there were some very interesting beer options. The staff were friendly and accommodating of our large group. The only negative was the waiter was not very tactful when my brother and her girlfriend joined the group, and an offhand comment about my brother's appearance was made right in front of/to his girlfriend that left us a little confused of the intention. All that aside, if I didn't live on the West Coast I would probably visit here again. read more
