    I have been to Maya many times . I was here for the bottomless brunch today and had an amazing experience. The standout food items were the Chicken Fajitas, Maya Dogs, Shrimp Enchiladas, Sweet Plantains, and the Mini Waffles. I opted to have the Maya Mimosa which is a delicious combination of blood orange and passion fruit purée mixed with sparkling wine. Andrew our server went above and beyond. He made excellent suggestions and kept our glasses full!

    We have eaten here many times. We always order the same thing. Margaritas, Calamari, steak fajitas and chicken tacos. Last night we went and we got our appetizer before we even got our drinks. The calamari was soggy and not crisp at all. The chicken tacos were dry and not flavorful. The fajitas were good but the portion was must smaller. Was very disappointed.

    Maya - New YorkResponded on September 22, 2023

    Hello Susan, we appreciate your patronage and are grateful you have eaten at Maya many times. We sincerely apologize that we were not able to impress you this time around and that you were unhappy with the quality and portion sizes of your meal. It's disappointing to hear the chicken was dry, and calamari soggy, we apologize that this impacted your experience. We hope this does not prevent you from giving us another chance so that we can work towards meeting your expectations in the future! Again, thank you for bringing these issues to our attention; your input helps to ensure that you have the best possible experience with us each time you come to enjoy your favorite dishes!

    It was a lovely tasting meal, but slight too quick meal. Definitely felt like the wait staff picked up dishes a bit too quickly and new food arrived too fast. Efficiency is usually positive, but this felt a bit rushed. Otherwise, their guacamole was delicious. I had the special of the month which was a green pepper stuffed with a delicious meat concoction. Their churros were not as good as usual- they were undercooked and the two sauces were watery. It was a Saturday night and not packed, which is indicative that other people have had a similar experience.

    Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you loved your tasty guacamole and green pepper special.

    Mojito was very good. Shrimp ceviche appetizer was decent. Unfortunately, my guests appetizer didn’t come out until 15 minutes later. Shouldn’t have bothered. Pork belly appetizer was nearly inedible. Could barely cut it with a knife. The sauce it came with however was excellent. Both main dishes were just okay. Not particularly well seasoned. The tres leches dessert was very good. Was very much looking forward to this dinner. Big fan of Sandoval in the past. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. Although we made every effort to explain pleasantly the issue with the pork belly, management didn’t seem to care. I understand that everyone can have an off night, but given the lack of concern for our experience, on what was a relatively slow night, pretty much insures we won’t be going back.

    Maya - New YorkResponded on September 14, 2023

    Hello Christina, We strive to provide every guest with consistently delicious food and exceptional service and are sorry we weren't able to meet those expectations during your visit.

    Food was generally good. Asked for mild guacamole as an appetizer and everyone at the table felt it was hot instead. Server didn’t do anything about it, so we left it. May repeat, but so many other options, will be lower on the list.

    I’ve dined here before and usually really enjoy the food but was very disappointed this visit. I usually come here for dinner or happy hour but decided to try brunch. The food was severely lacking in flavor. Since the menu is bottomless, we tried many dishes and all were very bland. We both agreed that even the tiniest bit of salt would’ve made a significant difference.Hoping this was just a fluke because I usually really enjoy the food at Maya.

    It was my first time going there & I went for the bottomless brunch with my best friend. To say we enjoyed is an understatement because it was even more better than that! The food was amazing and the drinks were definitely refilled every time we finished one glass. My personal favorite was the salmon. It was big enough to share, but not overwhelm you. We also had the short rib enchilada which I thought would be heavy because of the short rib, but was very light & if we didn’t eat more than we planned, I would’ve had that more than once. The brunch was $59 for both unlimited small plates and drinks & $49 for just unlimited small plates. Either option, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. I definitely see myself coming back & Alejandro was an amazing server and very attentive to getting our mimosa refills & our food! Thanks again for an amazing experience!

    Noise level was astronomical even when less than half full. Service was great for first half of meal but by end of meal, staff was noticeably absent. Food was oK. not great for the price. beautifully plated but lacked the intensity of flavor I would expect of a high end Mexican kitchen. Seviche is full shrimp in a red sauce rather than more of a chopped salad in lime one expects. Pastor Tacos were dry and lacked enough pineapple to make a statement. Margaritas were good but only happy hour at the bar was annoying as it was too loud to sit there so we chose the back of the place but no one told us we could not get happy hour there until we had already reviewed the menu. To be honest, the shrimp tacos at Sojourn Social were so much better and larger for the same price, I would not go back to Maya.

    Food was ok/averagely good. We had the bottomless brunch and the waitress was awesome, kind and gave us really good recommendations. She really offered us the whole menu which would have never occurred to us without her. We never had to look for her to ask for something she was always on top of it. The noise level was over the top which is not really my cup of tea. I had to continuously yell so that my friend across from me could hear me. There was no private conversations ever hahaha. The bottomless drinks and food were somewhat limited and would’ve like to try some items off the bottomless menu but it was an extra charge including for drinks/refreshers not in the bottomless menu. As someone who doesn’t drink alcoholic beverages too often, having a refresher or two or nonalcoholic drinks included in bottomless would’ve been nice - the extra charge for nonalcoholic made me upset. Overall good food, awesome service - menu options could be better. Also.. you have to pay extra for guac on the side for bottomless (one portion doesn’t make sense to me to charge, over one I understand but bottomless should offer at least one servicing of guac included in price. I understand avocados can be expensive but the charge for bottomless is also hefty but on par with what other locations charge. Good experience. Could be better. :)

    Thank you for joining us at La Sandia, and we appreciate your taking the time to provide feedback on your experience. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the service provided by your server and her helpful recommendations – she is a valuable part of our team. Unfortunately, this was overshadowed by the noise level which detracted from your visit. We will certainly look into creating more opportunities for private conversations through changes in seating or improving our acoustics. We also apologize that there were additional charges for nonalcoholic drinks not included in our Bottomless option – we want each customer to walk away feeling like they received good value both in quality and quantity of food and drinks. You can rest assured that we are always looking for ways to improve our menus by making them more inclusive so that everyone can enjoy what we have to offer. Once again, thank you for visiting La Sandia and providing useful feedback, it helps us strive to be better every day!

    Excellent bottomless brunch! Plenty of food options, all of which were delicious, especially the short rib enchiladas. The mimosas were also great! Servers were very attentive!

    Wait staff needs better education on Celiac and the dangers of cross contamination. Our waiter said that the plantains were gluten free. But then we asked if they were fried in a common fryer and he said yes. Then he started to argue that they were still gluten free, but we stopped him, told him no, and ordered something else.
