    Our food was great but our server was not. Took 20 minutes before we got to place our order and when she did finally stop she seemed as if we were bothering her. Never filled our water glasses, never came back to our table until she cleared our plates and asked if we wanted dessert.

    We brought my mom here for her birthday and off the bat, the waitress wasn’t friendly and disengaged the entire time we were there. She didn’t offer any appetizers even though we were eager to start with some. She would never ask us if there was anything else we would need when our food arrived and we always had to ask her to refill our drinks. The food was okay, I asked for medium rare steak and got medium well steak. Place was pretty dull even at a time for dinner. When we finished eating, we wanted to order dessert but our waitress was no where to be found. We had to flag down another waiter and he was way nicer and he apologized for the poor experience we had. I was really looking forward to a great experience for my moms birthday. This place isn’t it.

    Most of the food options were delicious, from the chips and salsa to the Carne Asada. But the service from my waiter was subpar with inattentiveness, order errors, and lacking personality. There was also almost no light at our table to be able to read the menu. Overall, I think I'll try a different location and give them another shot next time.

    So I really like Meso Maya. Our server was just not great! It took 2 1/2 hours for dinner and 2 drinks per person for a party of 6. Server would disappear for 30 mins after drinks had been ordered. Once we got them, they were watered down. And not to mention no alcohol for a $15 drink. I ordered the Del Mar enchiladas. There’s NO lump crab meat in them. Only shrimp. The queso and guac was good… but everything else MEH. Mesero or Mexican Sugar would have been a better option.

    Services was not great, took about 15-20 minutes to be recognized. Carne Asada was burnt. Ceviche, chips, salads, queso, and guacamole were great. Drinks were great. $100 for 2 drinks, 2 apps, and a meal.

    Food was excellent, we had the ceviche, Budin Azteca Camaron and Cochinita Pibil. I can also say the Short Rib Rellano and Arrachera are excellent from previous times eating at the restaurant. I recommend eating on the second level if it’s available.

    First time to Meso Maya. We met friends and decided to sample each other's dishes to really try out the flavors. Great waiter who directed us to their house specialties to get the best meals and beyond what you find in other local Mexican spots. Fantastic food, incredible flavors, truly Mexican inspired, not standard tex-mex. We had the Carne Asada, tender & flavorful. But was a thick piece of steak, not the traditional thin steak served at tex-mex places. The Camerones a la Diabla, absolutely amazing, 7 very large shrimp in the most delicious sauce, just spicy enough, but truly not hot. The Budin Azteca Pollo, interesting layered corn and cheese, and chicken layered dish in a bowl full of Verde sauce. Tasty and more cheesy than expected, but very dense. And Salmon over crispy Brussel Sprouts. Sprouts were perfect. Salmon way over cooked, to the point of mushy, despite asking for it rare. It was the only mediocre item we ordered. The Queso Poblano with brisket is worth getting, as is their house Margaritas, either frozen or on the rocks. The place was a bit noisy, but we could still manage table conversation. The only thing I truly didn't like or understand is why the restaurant had these cheap vinyl rubbery seats. It was especially uncomfortable in the summer time. Will definitely be back!

    We have been to four different Meso Maya locations and have never had a bad experience. We love the downtown location because of the atmosphere and the patio. It was too hot to dine Al Fresco in July but everything we had was fantastic and the service was great.

    The food is the only reason I go back. The service is seriously some of the worst I’ve had in Dallas. It was t ways like that, but damn….it was hard times. Took 20 minutes to get water. No one ever checked on drink refills. The staff wasn’t outright hostile, but they seemed utterly clueless. As we were waiting for our drinks there was a group of at least 5 bussers staring at us dying of thirst.

    Service and food were mediocre. We had an early 5:30 reservation and were seated at the very back of the restaurant by the restrooms and then asked to move tables to accommodate a large party. The front and middle of the restaurant and much nicer and it was a date night, so that set the tone. We ordered Cocktails right away and they arrived with our food without an apology. Service was so slow that we had to ask for everything- dropped fork, water refill, check, takeout container. There are too many great restaurants with wait staff and management who care to spend this much $$& on a mediocre experience. Food was decent. No complaints. Margaritas were nothing special - not worth waiting 40 minutes.
