We ordered take out because my toddler fell asleep in the car, but it looked like such a cool fun restaurant. The takeout was delicious. My favorite was the shrimp quesadilla - it was so good. I also could not get enough of the queso dip, like I would drink it if there are no chips. The tacos and other things were a bit spicy for me but everything tasted so fresh. read more

We came here on a Thursday evening before heading to Thursdays on Tap at the Perot Museum, and it ended up being a great choice. We were seated immediately, and the overall experience was excellent from start to finish. We started with cocktails and queso. The cocktail menu had a great variety, and the drinks we ordered were both delicious and surprisingly strong. For our entrees, we had the cochinita pibil and the carne asada. The standout was definitely the cochinita pibil, it was shockingly good, full of flavor, and tasted incredibly authentic. The carne asada was also very well prepared and enjoyable. Overall, this was a great choice and I will definitely be coming back. read more

This may be one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Dallas area. We were having a mini vacation with the kids and decided to look around for places to eat. This is one of the ones that came up and we are so glad that we went. The food was amazing, the drinks were also superior to almost any other place. I've been. My kids loved what they had and the staff was so kind and accommodating. This is going to be our new go to Place when we are in the Dallas area. Try it out and you will not be disappointed! read more

We came here as a party of 8 on a Friday night. The chips and dip were so good, the dip had a smoked flavor to them. Really good!!! My sea food enchiladas were not good. They used a red sauce and it was a tad bit too tomato flavored to me. read more

The building and its sign are iconic when you're driving near Klyde Warren Park and the Perot in Dallas. The ambiance is lively and fun when you enter the restaurant's interior courtyard during the warm weather seasons. Every wait staff member that helped us was kind and helpful when choosing from the menu that was new to us. We really enjoyed the food. It is elevated Mexican and Mayan food. I absolutely love that they have food that has traces of ancient Mayan recipes and cooking styles instead of a typical modern Tex-Mex menu. It's a welcome deviation in the heart of Texas. The restaurant is within walking distance from a few hotels for visitors, or if you're local and want to do a staycation, it is a perfect area for that! read more

I was in town this past weekend for my birthday, and I'm so glad that I found this spot somehow! Even weeks prior to the trip, the team was incredibly helpful with helping me make a 14-person reservation (and super flexible as I had to make multiple changes to the reservation as well). There is a parking lot behind the restaurant that you can park at, and as of Oct. 2025 at least, they provide 2-hr parking validation so make sure to scan the QR code with the host before you pay for parking! As for the food, we split a few freshly made queso and guac combos across the table -- absolutely delicious and a great way to kick off the meal! The restaurant offers complimentary tortilla chips (and refills) and the chips also come with a complimentary homemade salsa if you don't want to order queso/guac for extra. I ordered the Ribeye Tacos, which came with perfectly seared ribeye, grilled veggies, and a creamy yet spicy green chile sauce on the side. The dish came with fresh white rice and black beans, which accompanied the tacos very well. I was truly impressed by the flavors in every bite, and I'm glad that nothing was overly salty either! If I lived here in Dallas, I'd definitely be coming back on a regular basis! This place is truly accommodating to bigger groups, so you won't regret having your next birthday/big party meal here! read more

Generous portions of very tasty Mexican fare, Meso Maya delivers with an extensive menu and tasty flavoring for all of the dishes we tried. Heaping bowl of chips and delicious salsa that is served the second you sit down was much appreciated after our drive from Austin. We ordered the Steak Fajita and Seafood Poblano. Both dishes had ample amounts of food and generous portions of seafood and meat. The seafood poblano had a delicious sauce and the salmon, white fish and shrimp were accompanied by sauteed peppers and onions. Would definitely visit again on a future trip to Dallas. read more

This place had some strong reviews and tasty lookin menu items. I ordered the shrimp ceveche and it was wonderful. Great flavors! Then the ribeye tacos. You get 2 huge tacos but they were soft and I thought they were crispy. It's a lot or tortilla, and I felt like the meat could of been seasoned better. The service was great and the people kind. I'd like to come back and try a coupe other item. read more

We picked this spot after killing time at the aquarium before an evening flight out. We were just trying to escape the heat and there were 8 of us but they were so gracious and able to accommodate us quickly. Our waiter, Jose, was kind, attentive and patient. The food was delicious and they had a lot of different options. My three year old usually deconstructs all his cheeseburgers and almost never eats the bun but he devoured nearly the whole burger. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

Came for dinner and pretty disappointed. Took about 10 minutes for water and our server to come over. We got chips and queso and it was less than room temperate. We said something and they did bring a new one. We got avocado margaritas that were 85% ice. Our food came and my ribeye tacos were way over cooked, elote was bland, and Brussel sprouts were not worth the $2.50 up charge. My friend got the seafood lasagna dish and it was very bland and shrimp wasn't peeled. We got more drinks and they were not good. Overall not great food and drinks. read more

We were absolutely blown away by our experience at Meso Maya. Coming from California, we have very high expectations when it comes to Mexican food, and this place delivered. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and everything was cooked to perfection. The ambiance made the evening feel warm and inviting, and our server was friendly and helpful with great menu suggestions. You absolutely must try the churros they were the best we've ever had and filled with a dulce de leche like cream. This is a fantastic spot for date night, girls' night, or celebrating a special occasion. read more

Stepping into Meso Maya Comida y Copas in Dallas feels like being welcomed into a vibrant celebration of Mexican flavors and culture. The moment you walk through the door, the lively atmosphere hums around you--warm lighting, rich colors, and the scent of fresh tortillas made from nixtamalized masa. I dove into their mole poblano, each bite deep and layered, perfectly balanced with the fresh tortillas that come straight from their kitchen. The cocktails stole the show too -- that Pineapple Habanero was a fiery, sweet surprise that kept me coming back for another sip. The staff treated everyone like family, attentive but never hovering. It felt like a place where tradition meets a modern twist, where every dish and drink tells a story rooted in history but alive in the now. A spot I'll be thinking about long after the last bite. read more

Great food. Even better drinks. Great for dinner, lunch or brunch. Atmosphere is perfect. Outside patio is great for a date night

It's a cute spot with a great little patio. Margaritas were good. Pineapple Habanero with a mezcal float was amazing. Food was average. Foul smell in the bathroom that was just awful. Needed cleaning. read more

Had some hits and misses. The service was slow, and the food was just okay. An order came out incorrect, though the server did fix it. Drinks were decent, took awhile to get them, but nothing outstanding. Though, the avocado margarita was creative and yummy. read more

Nice environment. We had a fairly large group and the staff was able to group us in a reasonable configuration. Noise level was moderate to loud around dinner time. I ordered Enchilada/Chicken and it was extremely tasty. I imagine competition for Mexican food in Dallas is stiff, but this place was great. They had a decent drink selection as well. It sits further to the edge of downtown, it is walkable, but probably more questionable towards later hours I presume. We took a short uber ride over there and it was simple to get to. Worth a stop for great Mexican food. read more

Nice atmosphere. Eclectic choices. Great service. Meso Maya is appropriately named. This is traditional meso American cuisine. If you're looking for traditional TexMex there are several decent choices nearby, but Meso Maya is a more honest offering of central Mexican classics. I visited on a quiet Thursday afternoon for a late lunch. They have ample interior seating and a really lovely outdoor patio. A full bar offers up beer, wine, liquors and of course margaritas. I enjoyed their tortilla strips appetizer (not the common triangular chips, horizontal strips) and smoky sauce. I think the tortilla strips should be the default everywhere. I had a tortilla lunch of two chicken tortillas, white rice and beans. It was a bright flavor, fresh and very nice. I would have liked to see a combo meal offering, or an al-a-cart menu so I could have tried a bit of the tacos as well. If it was there I missed it. Important note. DO NOT PAY FOR PARKING!! Instead go inside and use their Parking validation link. If you have already paid, use the same link to get a digital refund. read more

What an awesome dining experience. Melinda was our server and she is amazing. The carefully explained the menu and items. We ordered margaritas which were delicious. Guacamole prepared fresh with the most delicious chips (all homemade) and our meals were expertly prepared. Who doesn't like Carnitas and Carne Asada!?!?!? . The ambience is beautiful. Even the restrooms were like art. I love love love this restaurant. read more

Stopped at Mesa Maya on my own and sat at the busy bar, with others who were there alone. I got the cucumber margarita which was super refreshing. The salsa with the chips was smokey and spicy, I could only have a little bit wish I could have got some to go. I ordered the biggest meal they have, and I wasn't even that hungry. The steak was almost too smokey but was better cold the next day. They have an open kitchen which is a nice touch and it's clear to me everything is authentic. I would love to visit again. read more

Wow. I loved their food. The had the ribeye tacos. So flavorful. Tender with just the right amount of a slightly tangy tomatillo sauce. The queso fresco was the perfect garnish. Also had a margarita. Wonderful. My husband has the mole. He cleaned the plate. Dinner ended with churros. The best I've had in a longtime. The dulce de leche filling melts in your mouth. Omg to all of it. Mexican heritage. So I am picky!! read more

Great service great salsa! Enjoyed a nice meal here while visiting from out of town. I had accidentally left my card when I paid and they were super helpful in confirming they had it, holding onto it, and did an ID check to confirm before giving it back. Really appreciate how they handled the situation! read more

The food was just ok. And that may be because I actually wanted to go next door to El Fenix. We were seated promptly on the patio but when the sun began to shift, our server would not move the umbrella. He suggested that we move our plates and drinks to the empty table with the umbrella. No bueno. I don't usually sit outside for just these reasons and fighting bugs but it was a rare, nice Texas spring day and the interior was dark so I gave it a shot. I'll follow my first mind from now on... read more

Great solid Tex Mex! They have validated parking you can scan once you enter the restaurant. This is the biggest perk as it is in downtown area. We got the soupa de Lima and caldo (both $15). The soups are filling and come with lots of toppings. Great for a cold night. Regardless what you order it comes with complimentary chips and salsa. The service was quick and friendly. read more

Came by for a team dinner and had reservations. When we arrived, we were promptly seated and the hostess and the servers were friendly. The chips and salsa along with guacamole was pretty tasty.

Three food and service were top notch! Everything was cooked to perfection and the use of fresh ingredients was apparent throughout all dishes. We started with the guacamole and queso combo which was perfect for 2-4 people. We also tried the posole Verde which was FIRE! Prior to ordering entries we could not decide which mole we would like more, the server brought a plate with both choices and rice to separate. All I can say about the food and service is... If you want to be treated like royalty and family at the same time, you must come to Meso Maya! We will be back and often! read more

Fresh, flavorful Mexican food with amazing homemade chips, queso, and tacos. Great service, fun atmosphere, and delicious margaritas

Came here over the holidays with my family and man the food was fantastic! The ambiance is great and the food is very good too. Really good chips and guac as an app and the fajitas we got were great, lots of food too we had leftovers! And the servers were nice and accommodating too! read more

Vibes are great, but food is a hit or miss! Ambiance & Service: Both the indoor and outdoor seating are upscale and modern. Service was friendly, and food arrived a bit too quickly. We had just started our apps when entrees were already sent to our table. Food: - Guacamole & Queso Combo: both dips were delicious! The portion was pretty small, but we enjoyed the flavors. - Queso Blanco Enchiladas: ordered with the creamy poblano sauce. The enchiladas were cold and the tortillas didn't seem fresh. Disappointing. TL;DR: Skip this spot--Guac and Queso were good, but the enchiladas were a letdown! read more

Ordered: Avocado Margarita (~$15): patron silver tequila, muddled avocado, pineapple, lime, cointreau Mango Sangrita (~$15): signature house made mango sangria swirled with their classic frozen margarita Arrachera (~$28): mesquite-grilled skirt steak, guacamole, peppers & onions, rice, beans, served with house-made corn tortillas Camaron y Pescado Tacos (~$19): white corn tortilla tacos with garlic adobo marinated shrimp or fish, green cabbage slaw, avocado relish, cilantro, queso fresco Aya's take: Meso Mayo is super vibrant Mexican restaurant in the heart of Dallas. It seems highly recommended and we decided to give it a try for lunch. It was a beautiful day so we opted for their outdoor patio seating. The Mango Sangrita was super tropical, sweet, and refreshing. The Avocado Margarita caught our eye but it sounded better than it tasted; it definitely needs to be sweeter or have another flavor to offset the mild and earthy flavor of avocado. The Arrachera is a hefty amount of food for ~$28. I'm glad we got it because it was exponentially better than the Camaron y Pescado Tacos. We had to send them back because they were overly salty and almost inedible. Thankfully, our waitress was super friendly and understanding. Back to the Arrachera! This dish is a perfect balance of protein, veggies, and carbs. The skirt steak is cooked & seasoned well, the rice & beans were super satisfying, and all the veggies added an element of freshness that the dish needed. The guacamole was so good! It might be worth ordering that as a side for the table. All in all, this lunch kept me full for hours and was a good try during my trip! read more

I was visiting Dallas and on the hunt for the best tacos. We started with the guac and chips for the table. While the guac was on the simpler side, it was super fresh and paired perfectly with the right amount of salted chips. I ordered the ribeye tacos, and they were delicious. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned w/ a nice char that added depth to each bite. The tortillas were soft and fresh, and the toppings added just the right amount of flavor w/out overpowering the flavor of the steak. What really elevated the whole experience was our server, Frida. She was incredibly warm, attentive, and gave recommendations. You can tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town! read more
