Mayas Restaurant is a captivating Latin dining experience with exciting social rhythms. We feature the cuisines of multiple countries of Latin American, but rather than simply transferring dishes we pay compliment to the ingredients that are natural to Latin America. Our food is prepared from scratch using classic and modern techniques but always remembering the aromas and flavors of our mother's and grandmother's kitchen. We invite you to choose your own escapade by selecting from our Plantains, Ceviches, Empanadas, Curries, Steaks, and Small Plates for a multi-course dining experience.

    Food, drinks, service were great! This is a small place and the food is made to order; so, you have to enjoy the signature cocktails and appetizers before dinner.

    The twinkling lights overhead are very distracting and deeply unnecessary??? If they were just consistently on, I wouldn’t mind as much but they all blink at different times? honestly it gave me a headache

    Mayas is a great neighborhood gem. It's a small place with a small staff. There were not a lot of people there; so, the service was fast. The best thing about Mayas is consistency of the food. I have tried most of the items on the menu and they taste great each time.

    We were surprised at slow it was at Mayas. This is a neighborhood gem. I guess the summer heat is keeping folks away. The servers, Jessica and Ivan, are great. Edgar puts special care into the food and drink preparations!
