The jalapeño cornbread with the butter is probably one of my favorite things on the menu. Oh my goodness, it is SO good! I'm pretty sure I've even placed a to-go order before just because I wanted the jalapeño cornbread . I also love the potato tortillas they have as an appetizer. They are really, really good, and the birria tacos are great as well. I can't remember exactly what my dad ordered when we went together, but I do remember that he loved his food too. I've had a great experience every time I've been, and it's definitely a place I would recommend!

This is a great spot for dinner, especially if you're planning to enjoy the nightlife afterward. I…read moredo wish they stayed open a little later given the location, but it still works well as a place to grab a meal before heading to nearby bars. I haven't tried an entrée yet because my group usually orders a few dips to share, and they've always been a hit. That said, the dishes I've seen at other tables have looked delicious. The outdoor patio is one of my favorite features--it's a great place for people-watching, enjoying the atmosphere, and having a daytime drink. The service has been solid on every visit. Nothing extraordinary, but friendly, efficient, and with no complaints. Overall, it's a place I'd happily come back to.

I got the shrimp chimichanga, and it did not disappoint. The breading had the perfect amount of crunch, and the rice and refried beans were cooked perfectly. I also tried the queso, which was really good. The only downside was that our server was a little less friendly than I would have liked, and some of our items took a little longer to come out. Aside from that, the food and atmosphere were great, and I would definitely come back to try more from the menu!

However, I do feel that if they can get 5-stars for take-out, then their dine-in is surely 5-stars! First of all, they took time and care in packing the take-out. I got a lunch combo and they packed the Taco and the salad separately. I love it!! Secondly, they also included salsa and chips even though it was a take-out order, which I appreciated. Service was quick. I called in my order, showed up about 10 minutes after that, paid, and my order was ready a couple of minutes later. Employees were very nice. Food was good! Still warm when I opened it up 15 minutes after pick up, which tells me they were fresh and hot when packed! Tomato and lettuce in the guacamole salad were very fresh, which isn't always the case at some restaurants. I really liked their chile relleno as it wasn't fried. Really good. I will definitely visit again!!

Also the guacamole, the cheese dip and the tacos. They do have a full bar and can do frozen drinks. I loved that you can add your own toppings to your tacos. The tacos come with just meat. You can add onions, limes, cilantro and pickled onions and pickled jalapeños as well as sauce. They had a Verde sauce as well as regular salsa, and a Salsa Borachja sauce with onion, garlic and Mexican beer. It was spicy and delicious. They have plenty of counter seating, a few tables inside and several tables outside. This is a tapas bar more than a testaurant.

Funny thing is, I've actually eaten here several times before when I worked just a few miles down the road. Apparently my memory isn't what it used to be, because somewhere along the way I completely forgot about this place. I was greeted by a super friendly waitress and decided to keep things simple. I'm a sucker for tacos, so I went with two beef tacos, rice and beans. Nothing fancy, but sometimes you just don't mess with a good thing. And of course I ordered the cheese dip, because I'm pretty sure it's against Alabama law to eat at a Mexican restaurant without ordering cheese dip. Everything was excellent tonight--the food, the service, and the staff. I'm glad I stumbled back across Maya after all these years. Now that I'm living closer to this location, I have a feeling they'll be seeing a lot more of me. Especially that cheese dip.

When we got seated outside by the friendly staff, we were given menus and free chips and salsa. As I nibbled on the chips and salsa which were just okay I browsed the drink menu. There's a full bar here and plenty of options. Over the course of the afternoon I tried the Frida's Rita and the wonderful rabbit. Both drinks weren't in your face with the tequila mezcal, they were mixed nicely and had a well rounded flavor. I much preferred the Woderful rabbit though as it tasted less watered down and the ginger beer paired with the mezcal was almost quenching. Overall if you're looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy Mexican cocktails this is a good spot! We did feel rushed to get out of there, and maybe it was because we weren't ordering food. Overall good experience however.

It felt like an upscale attempt at Mexican food that missed the mark slightly. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside with great vibes, that was a standout plus. I really wanted to like this place, but I just can't recommend it.
