An Unforgettable Quesabirria Experience at Maya's Cafe Mexican Cuisine!…read more Finding truly exceptional Mexican food can sometimes feel like a quest, but my visit to Maya's Cafe Mexican Cuisine delivered in a big way, specifically with their phenomenal Quesabirria. From the moment it arrived, I had a feeling it would be special, and I was not disappointed. The quesabirria itself was a masterpiece of flavor and texture. It was immediately clear that freshness was a priority here. The tortilla was perfectly crisped, providing a satisfying base for the generous filling inside. But the real star was the birria steak - it was incredibly tender, bursting with juice, and packed with a deep, savory taste that spoke of careful preparation and quality ingredients. Each bite was simply delicious. What truly elevated the dish, however, were the thoughtful details. The fresh cilantro wasn't just sprinkled on; it added a vibrant, aromatic quality and a necessary burst of freshness that cut through the richness of the meat and cheese beautifully, enhancing the overall taste profile significantly. And then there was the consumé. Oh, that consumé! Calling it 'out of this world' is almost an understatement. It was served steaming hot, a rich, dark broth brimming with complex flavors. It was savory, comforting, and utterly addictive. Seriously, it was so incredibly delicious and satisfying on its own that I could have happily just sipped it straight from the cup. Dipping the flavorful quesabirria into that liquid gold created a perfect harmony - a truly memorable culinary moment. It's been a little while since I had the chance to visit Maya's Cafe, but the memory of that meal has genuinely stayed with me. I find myself actively craving that specific combination of flavors and textures again. While I haven't managed to get back just yet, I am truly looking forward to my next visit, and you can bet I'll be ordering the quesabirria again. If you appreciate authentic Mexican cuisine made with care, or if you're on the hunt for truly outstanding quesabirria, I wholeheartedly recommend making a trip to Maya's Cafe Mexican Cuisine. It was a fantastic experience, driven by that incredibly tasty and well-executed dish. You won't regret it!

Taco shells were fresh corn Shells with I think grilled melted cheese. The chicken and beef in the tacos were seasoned well with fresh cilantro and lime wedges squeeze on it. Dipping the tacos in the birrea gravy was heaven! The flan was excellent, not overly sweet and delicious. And the fresh guacamole was also excellent with homemade chips, too. I'm so happy Westerleigh has a great Mexican restaurant nearby!

The decor is similar to Bay St. very Mexican and fun, with outside seating. The service was great, Seth was warm, professional and friendly. He was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.

I had the shrimp and chorizo quesadilla and my husband had the Blackened Chicken Fajitas Shrimp ajillo. Everything was perfectly prepared. I felt my quesadilla needed a sweet addition and Seth brought me the Chipotle mango hot sauce, it did the trick! This location does Justice to the Bay Streets. Big sister location.

The best part was when I went to go pay I noticed that the cook had all these photos of him and his family posted near the cash register. This is a small business with a one-man show and the guy seem completely content even though it's so late at night to be freshly preparing all this amazing food for his customers. N.b. Give the guy a Break and don't expect the food to come out right away, mind you this is one guy cooking for everybody who comes into the establishment so he really does embody the adage "good things come to those who wait" I will probably make a trip to Staten Island just to go eat at this place because it was that good!!!

Everything was made fresh and had great flavors . The serving size is perfect if you want to share or not it's not to much . The nachos have Mexican street corn on them my first time having nachos like this but it was delicious. Guacamole was fresh and very delicious. The location is definitely a hidden gem it's very clean and cozy BUT ITS VERY COLD I would have loved to stay and eat but it was just as cold inside as it was outside . The staff is very friendly and they literally will make anything any way you want. Price point is not expensive it's decently priced for the servings you get.

This place use to be my favorite. It has gotten worse every time! I didn't mind it being pricey and…read moreI had to go pick it up because we are in the borderline of where they're willing to deliver. But the attitude and the quality is just not what it use to be. From forgetting part of my order, charging me, and then just a shrug on the shoulder, saying they don't know what happened, denying they made any mistake. Nonetheless, today was the last time we're ordering from them. Thought it would be nice to order tacos first cinco de mayo. This is the crap I got. No topping no condiments no sauce cold dry cardboard like tortillas/meat. So much for happy tacos.

I just left this place and i don't usually write reviews , now sitting in my car out front…read more First off, the drinks are completely juiced up honestly feels like straight lemon juice with barely any alcohol. For the prices they're charging, that's unacceptable. It's like they're trying to stretch every drop instead of giving you what you paid for. On top of that, the food menu has clearly changed and not for the better. The options are limited now, and some of the best items that used to make this place worth coming to are just gone. What's left is underwhelming and doesn't match the quality they used to have. And now they don't even have happy hour on Fridays anymore? That was one of the main reasons people came through at the end of the week. Taking that away just makes it even less worth it. I even gave them a second chance, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt but that just made it worse. The food left me with an upset stomach and running to the bathroom after, which is the last thing you expect when you're going out to eat. It's disappointing because this used to be a solid spot, but now it feels like they're cutting corners across the board. Definitely not the same Sofia's anymore. I won't be back.

I thought I was in a pizzeria rather than picking up my torta and quesadillas. However, I asked twice to ensure I was in the right spot. I was leaning towards 3 stars but the extra star is really their cleanliness in their restaurant and the kind mother behind the counter preparing all the food. I wanted to go adventurous to try their champurrado, arroz con leche, and cafe de Olla. The cafe was disappointing because it was watered down with no milk or sugar. The champurrado felt thick and malty. The arroz con leche was one of my preferred drink since it's like a rice pudding. We ordered a bistec cemita, pastor torta, and 2 quesadillas. I was taken back at how flavorless the meat was. It did felt authentic and packed with meats and vegetables but it all lacked flavor. This is not my prefer location for this cuisine but it's not bad for its price. Perhaps it was a one off day where they forgot to add seasoning. The pizza did look appealing and I would again to try their pizza with arroz con leche.
