About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Had lunch here yesterday and i thoroughly enjoyed everything. My server was very attentive. They bring out a mango "salsa" to start. It's more reminiscent of sweet chili sauce than salsa but delicious nonetheless. I got the crab and shrimp ceviche which this dish alone will have me coming back and again and again! I also ordered the shrimp tostada lunch special which came with soup or salad. I opted for the soup which was a delicious chicken and vegetable soup. I also had 2 lychee martinis which were probably the best lychee martinis I've ever had. The foodie in me was pleased and I left full as a tick. No room for dessert, maybe next time.

    Food and service were both excellent. We were greeted promptly upon arrival and were seated at the table which we had requested. Our waiter was efficient, polite and friendly.

    We love this place!. The food is really delicious and all of the dishes are absolutely beautiful creations. We love the soft shell crab, the ceviche is stellar and the acaballo steak is a long time favorite-it’s outstanding! The great service, ambiance and drinks really round out a wonderful experience.
