Mexican
Meso Maya's kitchen is led by Nico Sanchez, the executive chef.

Chef Nico’s love for the culinary arts started at age nine, when he worked for a bakery, making deliveries and assisting in the kitchen in Mexico. Nico honed his skills at several restaurants throughout the country, in states such as Vera Cruz, where he learned about seafood, dried chilies, and making sauces from scratch, and Oaxaca, where he perfected tamale-making techniques. In 1996 he left Mexico for Dallas so he could pursue his goal of becoming a renowned chef. By traveling from state to state throughout Mexico, Chef Nico learned many of the culinary skills that patrons in the area enjoy every day. Chef Nico earned his reputation within the Dallas restaurant scene by working at Cuba Libre, The Porch, Hibiscus, and Meso Maya. His food is celebrated for its complexity, unique presentation, and fresh flavors (thanks, in part, to his love of gardening—he grows peppers, tomatoes, squash, and onions).

    It was great, but it was a very hot night, and their air-conditioning wasn’t working well. Other than that it was fantastic highly recommend.

    The food was amazing- drinks were really good. Service was exceptional. We ordered the Del Mar (seafood enchiladas) and a la carte tacos. Both were really good. Went back a few nights later for drinks at the bar. :-) The atmosphere and staff are so nice, this could definitely be an “our spot” location.

    The food was awesome, very hot and fresh. The service was below par but the restaurant was very busy. We never got our chips or salsa refilled. The margaritas were overpriced and not worth it.

    Lack of communication from waiter to chef. Mother in law asked for her food to be packed up and they took it away and never boxed it. Not a very enjoyable dining experience.

    Service really took way too long. Not only to order but also after waiting for food, took so long but not sure it would have matter if it was actually warm, it really didn’t taste good at all, and that’s the real issue. I barely touched it, so we left and went and grabbed Portillo’s! Way better and a fraction of the price and a lot quicker and warm! Also had to flag down the manager to even get our check. Just over all not a good experience.

    Arrived at 6:30 pm was seated and immediately noticed the air conditioning was subpar. I mentioned this to management. Told it's working but outside temp and crowd inside there is nothing more to be done. I ordered food but very little flavor to the salmon and my wife's enchiladas. It was difficult to eat in a warm environment ice water melted within 10 minutes of being served. after a 70.00 meal for two, I felt unsatisfied. I will not return. hmiller

    The air conditioning was out with the temps over 100 outside. It was miserable sitting inside. Very unpleasant. The waiter was ok but a very low talker. Could never hear what they were asking. The food was good though.

    The food and the server were fantastic. My cocktail was sub par though.  I got a martini and they brought  it at 1/3 of the glass, which is probably 1/4 in volume. When I complained, they said that that’s what the barman makes. I had to get 2, and even then them combined were probably 3/4 of one. When you charge $15 for a cocktail, you better make it right or simply not offer it. A properly made martini needs to be all the way up to close to the martini glass rim. That’s how they would serve it in any top rated bar or restaurant.  if I come back, I’ll do it for the food, but I’ll probably get my cocktail back home.

    We went there for brunch on Father's Day. 2 people out of the 4 adults in our party wanted to each order a $3 mimosa special to start, but our server recommended us to do the mimosa package instead which included a bottle of champagne. We asked if it is more economical to do the mimosa package vs the brunch $3/glass specials and he said yes. The final bill came showing the package was $40 when we had only 7 glasses so we overpaid by more than double. In addition, the server was not very attentive which unfortunately ruined the overall experience despite the tasty food. He kept trying to pour for the 3rd adult who already refused multiple times for both the initial glass and subsequent refills. During several occasions, the server asked if we wanted to keep our plates, to which we said yes, but then he immediately proceeded to try to remove the plates. We were very confused by his responses/behaviors.

    We gratefully were seated at a table instead of high tops . Our Server was wonderful but our food came out 2 plates and then 5 min later the other 5 plates - this was very disappointing as the salmon eaters waited and by then their food was cold. Will give y’all another try but this has happened to us twice.

    A fair experience. There were a lot of flies and crying babies that hindered our time here. I know you can’t control those factors, but they still took away from the dining experience. The value of the food made it better ($3 mimosas), but the quality of the food was fairly lacking. Probably wouldn’t return to this location.

    We had reservations. Manager? had hostess try to put us outside, and we asked to be inside. It was about 95F out. He said, “sorry no tables.” A little creativity on OUR part and we found seats in the bar area. We each ordered entrees and they came out about 10 min apart. Cinco de Mayo, so I get it, you’re busy. Waitress was trying hard. Maybe an off day, but they seem to have gone downhill. Will try Mesero next time.
