Maya Restaurant in other cities:
Probably some of the worst possible Mexican food Ive ever had in YEARS!!Really TERRIBLE!!Im sorry I tried to like but it was more like Tex mex than actually Mexican food.Just zero effort, the food was Bland and tasteless. I guess people from Ohio cant tell the difference between authentic Mexican and Taco Bell.First red flag 🚩 everyone there was from Ohio, not one Latinx person. All gringosSecond red flag 🚩 the salsa tasted like it came from a can. They said its made daily, but definitely doesnt taste like itThey need to revamp their menu, and style of cookingWhat type of a Mexican restaurant doesnt have horchata?Why dont they make their own tortillas?Why are they using white American cheese for their Mexican dishes?You can fool these locals but you cant fool me.Try better, I know you can do better if you actually tried.
I want to start of by saying that the self entitled reviews are nothing more than a laugh and should be viewed as such.This was our first visit, it was moderately busy, we were seated very quickly and were attended to very quickly and efficiently. Food came out quickly, hot and tasted better than expected. By better I mean amazing! I honestly didn’t expect such great quality with such low prices.Their Burritos A La Diabla are a must try!
Very good food, fast service, nice cozy relaxing atmosphere. Felt comfortable and relaxed while sitting there. Lights were just at right level to let you unwind and enjoy the meal
True foodie and Chicano from Arizona providing a positive review for others. I always check reviews when trying new places and most dont offer great reviews. Im going to give my you my absolute honest review.My overall personal rating of this place is a 6/10. First I will start out with the the staff and establishment. The staff was very friendly and the service was great. The gentlemen we had was great, I never once had to ask for a refill. Anytime my glass of tea was half empty he asked if I needed a refill. The restaurant was very clean including the restroom which is always a big thing for me. The ambiance was great nice a cool not cold and not hot. The lighting was natural light from storefront not overwhelming from sun. I did notice they had shades on glass that can be pulled down if the sun was to much.Now for the food, I would say that it was ok not something that was great but certainly was not bad. The homemade chips and salsa were good. I asked for a hot sauce and was given the two on the plate. The light green sauce was my favorite. Very spicy and I believe the chili was habanero. It had great flavor and was spicy, my favorite. It also had a hint of cilantro another plus for me. The red sauce was a roasted chili, not a personal favorite but not bad.I ordered the number 7 combo that came with a enchilada and a chalupa. First thought was I never had a chalupa so I would try it. So here it is, the rice was nice and fluffy but lacked any flavor. The beans tasted like a bean dip, very whipped and runny. They didnt taste refried, almost had the taste of canned beans. The enchilada sauce was tasty not much a chili spice. The ground beef tasted like a something from a sloppy joe. The chalupa was actually really good, tasted exactly like a tostada. Topped with the included guacamole and green hot sauce it was the best thing on my plate. My wife ordered a chimichanga which was a bit different. It was topped with red sauce and cheese which isnt out of norm for some places. However, the taste in general didnt have the homemade nana taste. The cheese was a bit much almost to cheesy.Overall not bad and the experience was worth it. I was craving Mexican food and choices were slim to none over here. Would return and try other dishes if Im ever back in the area again.
Cant beat the lunch deal. I had the Tuesday lunch special and 1 margarita $11 with tip. Food was good and portioned well for a lunch size. Service was friendly and very good.
Maya is such a great, affordable Mexican restaurant. Its a smaller, more intimate setting but it doesnt feel small. The food is always great and the staff is super friendly! Great Margaritas!! I didnt get a pic of the food this trip but The Fajita Bowl is super bomb!
Ive never had a bad meal here! I never get a pic either, because the minute the food arrives I dive in. Love everything Ive ever tried here, including the fajitas, tacos, Diablo Burrito. My son loves the Mexicano Burrito and the Queso!
Merce was a gracious and wonderful hostess. Merce made sure we were doing ok and even tho she had 5 other tables, she was excellent. The food was great and the service was top notch. Well definitely be back. Thank you again (Merce) and the staff for being so excellent.
The first time weve tried it. We thought it was pretty good had a few timing issues that could have been better but nothing too bad. The food was excellent and good portions, neither one were able to finish it all. Our waitress was friendly &The bathrooms were clean
Great atmosphere and friendly quick service. Had the Fajita Grande . Its a great portion dinner for two. The assortment of meat and shrimp with peppers and mushrooms just all blends together so well.A great place for families and to celebrate any occasion.
Fast and friendly wait staff. Good food at reasonable prices.
The food was absolutely awesome and great tasting. Customer service was top notch. Very enjoyable experience.
The food is out of this world delicious every time! The staff is so friendly and attentive. The murals and overal vibe are so refreshing and enjoyable, you really feel like youve left Ohio and gone to a villa in Mexico!
They had this waiter once who was so enthusiastic about our tacos, I thought he was gonna have a heart attack. It was so memorable. He was the happiest waiter. True story. Great, authentic food.
Good food and fast service, this is one of my favorite places for lunch whenever I’m in office
Always good food and friendly service. The families go to for Mexican food.
One of my favorite places to eat! I love the atmosphere, and the food is Amazing! The staff is friendly and fast!
The wait staff are affable, kind, and understanding if you try and order in Spanish like i do or even if youre too nervous to try and just point to what you want.
Nice atmosphere. Guacamole was superb with the right consistency, not just thrown into a blender. Everyone of us 4 enjoyed the entrees which included a Chef special (rib eye steak with onions, mushrooms, peppers, and chicken enchilada), shrimp fajitas, enchiladas, and shrimp with cream sauce. We will go back when in Cleveland again.
Good food and served us fast just a little bland.
Always a great time and a shout out to the two working the bar on Sunday , made the experience awesome
It was okay, as a Latin person was not impressed for the food, dont get me wrong the food is tasty but not the best! The customer service is really friendly and helpful!
Ive never had a bad experience here. The food is fast and tasty, the servers friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is fun. Definitely worth a visit :)
Amazing food, great service, and to-go is on point as well!
I tried this place for the first time yesterday and it was disappointing. The service was decent. But we had kids with us (they were not siblings) they were only given one set of crayons (every other restaurant I have every been to has always given kids their own crayons) and I wouldn’t have cared if they were not arguing over them. I literally don’t want to use my time out to enforce sharing. I just want my kid to shut up so everyone in the restaurant can enjoy their outing. So, I asked for another set of crayons and the waiter gave my daughter USED crayons they had saved in the back probably for this occasion. That really irritated me. I feel a little entitled complaining about it but it bothered me nonetheless. We have a pandemic, kids carry lots of germs and I don’t know who used those crayons before us. I hope they were sprayed but who knows? Plus, why should she get second hand crayons? I am paying good money to be out with my kid and have a good time. I didn’t pay for second hand food. Then to add to this, my food was bland. The queso app and chips were good though. Anyway, that’s my experience and I will not be going back.
Excellent service. Food is awesome. Will definitely recommend this place.
Wonderful food, great experience too! I love true Mexican food and Maya hits that spot! And I appreciated the service the night I was there with a friend. Our conversation wasnt going well and the waitress realized that I wanted to leave ASAP. Paying the bill for both our meals, but walking away from a toxic situation. Great job to our waitress!
Great Mexican restaurant very fast service and friendly staff
Always a constant. Since 2006 til this past March 2022. We know it will be good as well as the staff being helpful and courteous.
I enjoyed this place, very good food and great service.
Tortillas hard as a rock, burnt, old. Literally inedible, I have to imagine that I received food that was meant to be thrown away by accident. The rest is good tho.
Our family has been here several times and have enjoyed everything weve gotten. The food is fresh, delicious, great quality and fairly priced. The staff is always friendly and helpful
Good Mexican food and prices were reasonable.
Previously I left a review of Maya that was not the best, but I want to update that. Week after week I come in and get the Queso Fundido with Chorizo and an extra side of tortillas. 99 percent of the time it is great, today I did have a problem with it. But, I gave them a call and the situation was rectified quickly. Carlos (owner I believe/manager) is a very nice guy and cares about the restaurant and his guests. Definitely give Maya a try if you are in the mood for some good Mexican food!
Charged me for chips and salsa. They said they have a new policy, but no where does it state that.
Only reason Im giving this place 3 stars is because the waitress was a sweetheart! Loved her, I wish all females and males in this job were as awesome as she was.Sorry, I forgot her name. Now, the food was a total miss!! So flavorless,, I wanted to like this place so bad but I was very dissatisfied, couldnt even finish my food, oh well on to the next....so far Si Señor is on my top list.
Service was quick and everyone was friendly. The food was much better than other Mexican restaurants Ive been to in this area. We had ground beef hard tacos with rice and beans, chicken fajitas, shredded beef burrito and chips with cheese sauce and salsa.
Ive been going to Mayas for years. The food and atmosphere are wonderful and the Margaritas are to die for!You wont be disappointed I assure you it is worth the trip!
Food is always good. Portions are generous. Service is fast.
LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The food was absolutely delicious and hot! Better than Cozumel in Brunswick! (I know theyre related)The first time we had a female server too! She was great and very attentive, even though they were busy. Thank you Maya for a wonderful lunch.
My husband and I have been coming here for years, food and service always great but our experience yesterday wasnt good. Our waiter wasnt friendly, I thanked him 4 times and not once did he say your welcome or gracias. The food was bland, no taste what so ever.
Great service. The food was amazing and they cleaned the tables thoroughly before anyone was able to be seated at any tables
I have always had a good meal and experience here. They are often crowded as the place is popular (there is a reason for that). Their food and service is always consistent. The Maya is reasonably priced too. You cant go wrong with Maya Restaurant. One of Bereas best restaurants.
Margaritas exceptional, chips & salsa great. Food ... Ehhhh. Always char skin off poblano which they didnt. Makes it tough. Rice was flavorless. Keep trying. May be just for margaritas& chips
Small place with mostly local patrons. Food was good but not a destination restaurant.
Guy in the front was very helpful and had good customer service skills
I’ve only been a few times but from what I’ve experienced the food is pretty delicious. The only thing I would critique is that the margarita didn’t taste like it had any alcohol in it. Normally I will start to feel it after one jumbo margarita but I felt completely normal
The food was good and so was the service.
Always a great meal. Felt a little rushed and we ate pretty fast. Wouldve liked dessert.
Food and service were both really good!!
This is my favorite Mexican go to! I have the chicken taquitos one of my fav was delicious! The service was wonderful as usual as well the food is delicious here!
Excellent food with fast and friendly staff
The food was great. It arrived at our table quickly. Our server was attentive. Salsa and margaritas were very good.
My wife and i have been dining here for over 10 years. The food and service has been spot on every time. The drinks are delicious. And the beer is always ice cold and refreshing. Even when they are slammed busy. The staff gets it done. Everyone is friendly. And you get a lot of food for the money. And its delicious!! I would give them 10 stars if i could.
Yummy! Good prices and great food.
I like the expanded menu. Great new options that taste great. Always, and I mean always GREAT service. Great value for the money, even better on the lunch specials. Honestly, I’ve eaten here 30+ times and have never been disappointed. Within the parameters of good Mexican, service, and value locally they would get 6 stars.
The food was completely soggy in all the trays. Waaay too expensive for not preparing our to go food properly in trays.. Definitely not a to go place. We ended up throwing everything in the trash. Everything was also pretty gross and too salty. Salt doesnt make up for lack of flavor guys.
Yummy burrito! And the hot sauce is incredible!! It’s hot don’t order it unless you’re ready for your forehead to sweat I’ll be back for more
Excellent food and Margaritas.
Great Mexican food very friendly servers
La comida es rica! The food is delicious! Came here on a double date and all four of us got something different. But all four had the same reaction. We loved it! Ive been to numerous Mexican Restaurants in the area (dont believe me, check me other reviews) and this is at the top. Ill be coming back, wish I would have found this place sooner. Next time I ditch the spaghetti and meatballs Ill be here for some chimichangas and tacos!
Consistently good good food! Awesome frozen margharitas.
Weve been a patron for many years. Always fresh, great Mexican food. Excellent service. Nice bar and drinks delicious Margarets. Chips and salsa are very good plus the guacamole is fantastic. When we want South of the Border this is where we definitely go!Plus located in Beautiful Berea Ohio! 😁👍
We ordered one dish online on cinco de mayo. It was ordered at 1030a for a 1230 pickup. I got the confirmation email saying my food would be ready. When i got there the place was MOBBED no social distancing. When i finally got to the counter they matter of factly told me they were not taking online orders and if i did it was canceled. I was offered to place an order and wait in the over crowded lobby( during a pandemic. NO THANKS). I checked my bank account and the money was deducted for the order. When i asked about that the man said my money would be refunded sometime in the ext 7 daysWillnever give my husiness to this place.
Been here several times and never disappointed. Good food for the money and plenty of respect / service from the staff.Post Pandemic Lock down - Staff was great as usual. The food prep needs some work. Latest experience was nowhere near before the lock down.
The food was great, but our large party was seated at 3 different tables even though we made a reservation earlier.
Excellent food and great service. Meal came quickly and hot.
Very comfortable place well lit, big windows. Chairs and booths. Alcohol is served. Margaritas are very good. Menu is expansive.. One of my favorites is The Rice bowl found under the title Specials. I ask for one half the amount of the rice usually served. The chicken bowl is very tasty. Their nacho chips are fresh and salsa is piquant. Good place for one or many. Service is good.
This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant. The staff is super friendly, the meals are not only delicious but come out quick, and with an extra shot of tequila in the margaritas, they are the best around.I come here almost on a weekly basis at this pointEdit after 109 visits:My God, its still as good as its ever been. Maybe not weekly anymore lately, but I still go often. I cant think of a time that Ive ever been disappointed in Maya. Its such a pleasure every time I visit.I made sure to visit as often as possible through the pandemic to do my part in helping keep them afloat.
We were in town for a family reunion and we were looking for a place close by to eat. Since we were craving Mexican, we just googled places near by. This place exceeded our expectations! Amazing staff and no wait! The service was kind and so attentive!! Our waitress was quick to answer any of our questions and our food came out within 20 minutes of us ordering! The man carrying the food was not our waiter but was still patient and smiling, which was small but easy proof of the kindness of the staff. The food was fantastic! The chips came out immediately so we ordered guacamole. The guacamole came out minutes after we placed our drink order and was so good! We ordered a variety of different things on the menu (a salad, burritos, tacos, quesadillas) and everything was amazing, and genuinely authentic Mexican & even better prices! We came when tacos were only a dollar and the waitress did a great job of informing us. We will be coming again next year.
I am very blessed every time I go here! I am a frequent flier! My best friends back in Toledo are all Mexican and when it comes to having amazing food, this place hits the spot every time! The employees know me and are always very friendly! It is a clean place to eat. The food always comes out fast! I love it here!!!
Very good! Been a fan of cozumels since the beginning. Long time independence customer. Live closer this location and decided to try it out. Saw some.familar faces of servers Ive seen at independence. The service was good and the food came lots faster than Im use to. It was super hot. The salsa was a little more watery than use to and lack some cilantro and flavor. Otherwise the meal was great. Well be back!
Noisy and busy with very good service and a great selection of very tasty Mexican food. Interestingly, the steak fajitas included mushrooms - had never seen that before - very tasty.
These are my favorite tacos! i come here all the time, theyre a good price and very fast service every time and everyone is friendly. also my favorite salsa at a restaurant, good flavor and not a lot of big pieces in it, always have to get the cheese dip too!
Outstanding Meal- Fantastic Service & Excellent Prices. Best Mexican Around!
Excellent and fast service. The food was delicious and average prices; very nice!!!!
Great food and amazing service! My favorite restaurant in berea!
Im not a fan of Mexican food generally, but its my girlfriends favorite. This place however, is very good and inexpensive. I have tried a few of their seafood dishes, fajitas, and burritos and they have all been very good. They also have a decent selection of flavored margaritas.
Seriously the absolute best Mexican food and chips, no other Mexican restaurants around even come close to being as good. I highly recommend Maya, it will be your favorite Mexican restaurant.
The food was good and pricing was fair but I was not real impressed by the margaritas, very watered down. Once the food came our server only stopped back once to check on us and then never came back again. We sat at the table talking for about an hour and not once did anyone stop by our table to offer more water or see if we needed anything, kinda surprised by that. Restaurant is clean and location is very safe. I still recommend it and will go back myself, I would just like more customer attention.
Ordered pick up at 4:15 and prepaid. Pick up time 5:35. I arrived on scheduled time to find line wrapped around building with well over 100 people. The line hasn’t moved in 20 minutes, no one out front with information and their phone is turned off. I imagine the food might have been good, but I’ll never know.
The wait i expected to be busy. It came highly recommended since we are new to the area. I get it is Covid all around but people should not be allowed to enter without a mask. There were many entering without. I saw staff talking to customers at the bar and removing their masks to talk. Not cool. The food....Phenomenal. In fact it was the best Mexican Ive had to date in 44 years. I hated sitting in the bar but it felt safer due to again, Covid. Best chips and salsa also.
Maya has excellent food (highly recommend the Vallarta or Guadalajara specials), some of the best customer service in town, and solid drinks. I always feel welcomed and taken care of at Maya. Highly recommend!
Very consistent meals with an authentic flavor! Always clean with excellent service! Food is served fast and hot and delicious! Recently tried the Cozumel soup and have found a delicious new favorite!!
We love Maya! The food is always excellent, and its a huge plus that many of the employees speak Spanish - my wife feels more comfortable here. The last time we went we pretty much had to beg our server to give us attention (refill drinks, tortilla chips, salsa, etc), but as far as we can tell this is unusual for Maya - every other time we have had excellent service.
I love this place. Just ordered 2 lunch specials today. They are always friendly and food is good.
The burritos are smacking. highly recommend to come and eat here. BEST BURRITOS EVER
The food is fantastic, the place is clean and the staff is attentive. Wonderful place to take your family to.
You will NOT find a better Mexican restaurant in Northeastern Ohio. Freshly fried chips at your table before you even take your coat off, perfectly seasoned salsa, excellent customer service, and very fair prices. This place is THE BOMB
Always hot and fast, love the Margaritas and the Super Burrito.
Ive been coming here for most of my life. the service here is always friendly and they always have a big smile on their face. The food is very very good and it comes out extremely fast even when theyre very busy. The bar isnt all that big and only has a couple of TVs to watch but this is more of a sit-down place. if youre looking for a quick bite to eat on your lunch break I would highly recommend this one due to the fact that the service is so fast. The margaritas are on point and if youre looking for a pint their glasses are wonderful. If you have a birthday they will celebrate it with you giving you ice cream and a sombrero to wear during your meal as well as singing Happy birthday in Spanish! If your looking for Mexican I would highly recommend Maya
Maya is one of the best Mexican restaurants Ive ever been to, bar none. They have an enormous menu with tons of options from which is choose. The service is fast and friendly. The wait time for your food is also remarkably fast considering how mamy people are usually there. It is a great place for parties with lots of people. The quality is top-notch, and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Stop reading and just go!
Great Food; Good & Fast Service; Kind & Supportive Management; Fun Place To Be!!!
Maya has been my favorite Mexican restaurant since they opened! Staff very friendly and efficient.
Service is exceptional! Food is hot and brought to your table within 10 minutes of ordering. Food and drinks are always great! Havent had a bad meal yet and been going here for years. Highly recommend.
One of the absolute best places!!!!! The food is exceptionally well and the service is hands down outstanding!!!!! If your looking for a great place to eat its a ABSOLUTE MUST THAT YOU STOP INTO MAYAS!!!!!!!!
Love this place! Its better than the typical Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa are very good as well! The atmosphere of the place is very hip and cool.
Ordered the chicken burrito lunch special.. ordered extra rice which was 3$ And they forgot that.. forgot silverware to go with the to go order and didn’t even apply the coupon they said I could use which was 10% off. Terrible service
Weve tried to come here several times and theres always a line out the door and a long wait!! We decided to come a little early at 5:30 on a Tuesday and the place was full, but no wait. Food came out so fast I thought they started making my meal before I ordered it! It was crazy fast! So good though! Authentic Mexican!Note to management: When we tried to come at a busy time we noticed a huge bottle neck at the front. Guests paying for meals, many waiting on tables or getting on wait list, and carryout orders getting picked up. All being serviced at the one counter by one person. This resulted in confusion as to who was waiting for what and people cutting lines and guests arguing with each other. It was VERY stressful which resulted in us leaving. If you consider fixing that bottleneck I think all issues would be resolved and youd have less people walking away and losing business. When we left, 3 other couples also left angry. We knew it was a busy time and planned on coming back, but unfortunately not all customers are patient and understanding. Just an observation.We knew a place that busy had to be good and definitely came back!!! Well worth the wait!!! Service friendly and food delicious!
Great restaurant! Wonderful food, and very fast service. I don’t think you will be disappointed when coming here. The staff is friendly! Parking is good as well and they are priced decently.
The outside of this restaurant does no justice for it’s decorative indoor. It’s beautiful inside but, the flow of the walking to your dining table is odd. You are kinda cramped walking past people & against a wall but it’s okay no big deal. Just depends on witch way you go. Our staff was well mannered, kind, and attentive. Our seater didn’t seem too happy though. She looked sad. But, our waiter was cool. The food was absolutely delicious! I went with the house favorite quesadilla, The Fajita Quesadilla with shrimp. It was absolute pleasure. The pricing was well worth the serving of food received. Overall I had a decent experience, thank you.
Food was very good, had definite leftovers. Atmosphere was excellent and the service was very good. Place is open enough that even with large crowd, you can still talk to the people at your table. I would go back.
My favorite Mexican joint in the SW suburbs.
The servers are always awesome and friendly
Best Mex in the area. Never unsatisfied. Wait staff is always extremely friendly, and there is never a long wait. Even during dinner hours, the wait after ordering is never much longer than 15 mins. I always get the chicken and beef burrito. Delicious every time.
The service was great here. The food was good. The salsa was amazing. The ground beef was a little dry. Overall we had a good experience.
This is my favorite resteraunt!!! Whenever Im in a sour mood my husband knows to bring me here and Ill be back to normal in no time! Margaritas are FANTASTIC, food comes out FAST and fresh and delicious!! I cannot recommend this place enough! Easily my favorite place in Cleveland, hands down!!!
First time Ive been, and believe me Ill be back! Delicious food with pleasant and quick service. There was a large party next to us so it was louder than Id normally prefer, but the experience was still awesome!
Continually lives up to our expectations. Staff is welcoming and attentive. This is our go to Mexican restaurant in the area. Phenomenal food, fast service, good drinks. Weve been coming here since they opened, and its always been great!!
The chips and salsa they give you when you sit down are always great and the cheese dip is a good compliment to go along with that. The food also comes out very quick after placing your order even when theyre packed, so if you know what you want you can be in and out very quickly.
Amazing place! I have been coming here with my family for years and have never had a bad experience!
Maya is our favorite local Mexican eatery. The staff is nice and they always offer great daily specials. The food is delicious, and they have a large menu (including vegetarian options). Their queso is wonderful. Their mixed drinks are incredibly strong and the margaritas come in a variety of fun flavors.
Cant say anything bad about this place! The service is always amazing and the food is always great! Huge portion sizes, the fajitas for one can definitely feed two people! I always leave with the doggie bag.
Extremely friendly staff, very fast service. Never had a bad experience here. Highly recommend!
Great food and the day we visited Margaritas were $1.99. Our service was good.
Delicious!!! 1st time here! Will be back!
We enjoy the first 2 at the bar at least 2x a month. Love this place. Good food, great service!
Maya is hands down my favorite within 50 miles. Food is always great, service the same.
Had a couples date night here it was just down right amazing. Frozen Margaritas should be your go to drink when eating here. I rarely do Margaritas but I lost a bet. I enjoyed the burrito supreme. Their chalupa was spot on. Too many good foods to list.
Had a bad experience tonight unfortunately... food was good but hardly any lettuce in our taco salads... but tons of chicken... so great for meat lovers... we went to pay our bill and was left waiting for ten minutes without anyone even acknowledging us... girl was on the phone with an order and there was only one register to ring out on and she was using it for this customer on phone.... many other employees came up to service desk but ignored us completely... had to ask someone to please take our money... plus horrible set-up as you walk in restaurant.... very congested... feel like customer service was very lacking
Service was fast and friendly, food was great
Amazing food, great service and food comes out very quickly. We have done take out a number of times as well and it had been just as good. The staff is personable and makes it feel like eating at home.
The fact that i work at a Mexican restaurant myself makes me a hard critic. But this place was great. Great food with fast and friendly service. All employees were showing off smiles all around.
Hubby loved it, he got steak mexicano and said it was very tender and delicious. I didnt care for it. The beef tips were very dry, and the red sauce was overwhelming. Very strong tomato flavor over powered everything else. We paid $35 for two meals and two sodas. No alcohol. (Mine was just a beef tip burrito. No rice or anthing.)
First time here .The food was delicious. The service was perfect and the atmosphere was comfortable. I would definitely come back again. Oh , I forgot to mention, the drinks are good .I had the Watermelon daiquiri
AMAZING food. Literally, amazing. I think about going back often and Ive only been there once so far! The margaritas and daiquiris are pretty amazing too! Had to try both! Try the fajita bowl!!
Best Mexican resturaunt in the area. Very good and timely service and you can tell everything you get is fresh. Portions are more than plenty for the money you pay and you are sure to be greeted with helpful and friendly staff. My personal favorite Mexican resturaunt.
Mayas has been a favorite for my family for many years. Mexican is one of our #1 types of food to eat, so we like it to be authentic and delicious. Maya makes great margaritas, has amazing queso cheese dip, guacamole and has a huge variety of Mexican dishes that the whole family can devour! So yummy!
Maya is a classic staple in Berea. In a college town, Mexican restaurants always flourish and this is no exception. Their service is usually good, but sometimes on the slow side. The food is always hot, fresh, and very fast to the table. On any night expect a wait, they are always busy!!
Food was amazing and good price, Service was not so good, table next to us ordered after us but they got their food before us, I got my burrito 10 minutes before rest of my table got their food and my order was wrong, server said she didnt hear me correctly and didnt even say sorry for the mistake acted like I told her the wrong item , forgot my drink then came back with wrong drink then finally got it right, never was asked if we wanted to go boxs for our leftovers. Cashier was rude and just ran the card and threw bill down on counter to sign , never said Thank You for coming.. Too bad as I said food was amazing..
Great food and great service. Ive been here a hand full of times and have always been very happy. Food was excellent and staff was always very nice. Always a good experience.
Guacamole is always the hallmark of superior Mexican cuisine. Service is fast and friendly.
My #1 Mexican restaurant in the area! We live a little farther away now, but we still make sure we get out there and choose it over many other options.
Very personable staff, great food and friendly homey atmosphere. Loved the musician playing and singing while we ate, took me back to a trip to Mexico many years ago... Highly recommend this restaurant
Always good food and service! Its our go to Mexican restaurant. Their salsa sets the bar high for other Mexican places, its honestly hard for us to go anywhere else!
Great value, good food, poor atmosphere. Its quite crowded and it always seems really loud there. But you can get good food for about 10 bucks a person. And the service is really quick.
Great staff, great authentic Mexican food.One of the better staffs around town, always enjoy dining here.A great menu with lots of choices, really something for everyone!
Always fun! Great food, and reasonable prices!
An outstanding dining experience. Excellent selection of beer on tap.Great wait staff and top rate food at very reasonable prices.*** Highly recommended ***
Been coming here for years and celebrated many birthdays and anniversaries with Carlos and his staff. He is always walking the floor checking on his customers.. Independent operator delivering quality and service at an excellent value.
This place was jumping on a Friday night! I hadnt been here in 10 years and it was nice to return. The staff is personable and the price was reasonable. Ive been spoiled by the Mexican fare in Chi-town though. The food at Maya is good as Tex-mex goes.
I have been coming here since 2010 and it is still by far the BEST Mexican restaurant in the Cleveland area....so many great items on their menu but a true treat is their homemade chicken tortilla soup.....that great appetizer paired with anything else on the menu is guaranteed to have you falling into a food coma and waddling back to your car
Excellent choice for Mexican cuisine. Fast service, good portions, fresh food. I recommend the chimichangas. This is a great place for lunch as the prices are fair and the service is especially quick.
Family favorite! Great owner, great service. Always delicious food at a great price.
Food is always good here this is our main place for dinners , staff are welcoming and nice
Wonderful Mexican restaurant, I come here often with family friends and for team meetings. The service can be a bit slow, but we always have wonderful servers and great food.
One of the best Mexican Restaurants we have been to. The service is excellent, the food is fresh and delicious and the margaritas are awesome! Also the prices are fair. I cant say enough good about this place.
Amazing food, great service, and cooked very quickly!
This place might be a hidden gem. Its pretty good. Nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Good food. Will definitely be back!
Consistently great food and service. Its almost always busy but they make time for every table. Prices are extremely fair, inexpensive date night with a nice atmosphere. I have never been disappointed.
My family and I (Wife & 2 kids) have gone quite a few times. Service has always been good, never had a bad meal, and the kid’s menu is good for picky eaters.
Whole family became ill after eating here. Showed little/ no concerned when informed. Nasty place poor hygiene used by the waitress. Just generally an unhealthy unpeeled place of business. Is currently being investigated by health department.
This was our first date place. And 5 yrs later, still our fave restaurant. Great staff, friendly and fast. NEVER had a bad meal there.
Best Mexican in All of Cleveland. Staff is fantastic. Quick. Quality. Reasonable. Their homemade sangria is KILLER. So are the Marquitas and the Volcano combined them both! GO EAT HERE.
Food is always served quickly and is always delicious! Great place to grab a bite and a drink after work. Their enchiladas rojas and fried ice cream are my favorite.
THEE WORST!! Just left here. Came here after work with my husband. Was seated and just Forgotten about. The Spanish girl with the curly pony tail just left us there. Took the order from the people who came after us and never bothered to take our drink order or anything. Oh well we had free tortillas lol Off to the Cheescake Factory. NEVER AGAIN
LOVE the food here. Very quick service. Weekend nights are busy, so plan for a wait. Otherwise, pretty quick seating.
This is the best Mexican restaurant EVER. The food is delicious and the service is efficient and friendly. It has a lovely atmosphere and decor. They also serve amazing drinks.
Amazing food and amazing servers. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant.
Very cheap, the cheese dip is fantastic, and the wait staff is friendly.However, its just not amazing. Weve been there 4 times total and left disappointed every time. Not bad for the money you pay for it though.
Good and fast service. I had chicken fajitha. It was tasty.
The BEST, most authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. Having lived in San Deigo for 40 years, I know my Mexican food =)When Im feeling homesick, needing a Mex fix, I head to Maya, STAT! The staff is wonderful, the food is fresh and plentiful. During my time there I feel like Im back home on the border...... until Im leaving and the icy winter wind smacks me in the face =p Oh, yeh, Im not in San Diego anymore...... =(Maya will cater your party, so be sure to keep them in mind when youre looking for no-stress party food. Or go all out, make it a Mexican themed party with the grilled carnitas. My guests love it when I do =)
Amazing food. Decent pricing. Great service. My favorite place to go out.
Everything it was really good the food the server his name is Alex really good service
A big thank you to Carlos and his staff for making our little family get together(23 of us!) on Jan 4th a perfect evening! Could not have been happier with the outcome! Again, thank you Carlos!
Always love coming here. Great food quality, large quantity, and family friendly. Margaritas strong enough to go home and ignore the 3,535th viewing of Moana.
The food was dry and tasteless at best. We service was terrible. We asked for a spoon and never got one, no refill offers on our drinks. They were to quick and impatient with you. Would not go back again!
Delicious food and good service. There were 5 of us who all ordered something different. Each dish was hand crafted and expertly seasoned.
Had pick up. Very good food on the spicy side and very good deserts. Would go there again.
Good service, the food came within 5 minutes of ordering it and was delicious!
Food and service where very good. Had to wait about ten minutes to be seated with a party of thirteen which isnt bad. A little smaller then I thought inside but the food makes up for it
The food is absolutely to die for (my favorite being the nachos) the staff is nice and understanding when you cant pronounce the Spanish words and theyre quick on their feet. Hands down best Mexican food
Nice staff and timely/ attentive.
Loved it! Food was very good. Nice atmosphere. They give you chips and salsa while you wait for your food!
Food is always delicious and fast. Service is great. Two of us each had a Pacifico and our meals and it was $35. Good deal!
The best carnitas, genuine Mexican fare and fast, pleasant service. Ten stars out of five.
We go out to eat at least 2xs a week, and this has to be, hands down, the worst experience ever... The waitress, Bella, was very rude, and made us wait forever, then when the food came it was totally different than what we had expected... Very distasteful, and too expensive, for what we received; not to mention the rude service. Im sorry, but I will never dine here again...
Very disappointed in the staff. The food was ok but I asked for the chipotle quesadilla, And had no chipotle taste. I asked for additional sour cream and by the time they brought it my food was cold. The staff never checked on us and never got refills. So I was very sad by this visit.
Amazing service, amazing food. Normally am not a Mexican food person, but after going to this restaurant, changed that completely, will be returning. A must try restaurant.
Food was great. Service was excellent. Not too crowded
I went for a Spanish class field trip to learn about cultural food. It was a great experience, they handled having 100 high schoolers very well and made excellent food for all of us despite the noise.
Their food is good and the waitstaff are attentive. Havent had any issues, even with large parties, although their waiting area is more or less non-existent in that regard.
Used to love coming here once a week and order food for my whole crew, got all the belly points for a free meal and their internet goes down when you wanna use them...Avoid if you dont like being mistreated, they offered me nothing to compensate the situation just an apology and sorry sir thats 6.95.Lost loyal customers today!
We absolutely L🥰VE Mayas in Berea!😁😋🍸👍🏽 The food is DELICIOUS & the Staff is OUTSTANDING! THANK U for ALWAYS giving us a GREAT experience & meal❣👍🏽👍🏻❤😀😘
I could not believe, walking in the door. I see a dog sitting in the restaurant at the table, with his owner. I am a dog lover. However, I dont care to see, a dog in a restaurant around my food😖👎! This was a big turn off, I will not be returning!
Food is excellent and the service fast. Happy wait staff. Enjoyable dinner.
Very cozy place with delicious Mexican food (as close to authentic as you can get in a restaurant here). The staff is very nice and bilingual, so its a great place to go with friends and family
Monday is $1 tacos, dont miss it! I would classify the food here as authentic Mexican food, and the staff here are the best. If you appreciate good Mexican food try Maya!
Top quality Mexican food, perhaps the best on this side of Cleveland. Fast service. Nice atmosphere.

2021-11-24Had a date here and somehow we managed to get our food faster than our drinks! I had a Mexican Coke and my date had water. We were seated quickly and the food came quickly. The food was good and I could see myself coming back here again for sure.

2022-02-10The food was decent. Drinks were good i had the guava margarita and loved it. The service was above and beyond. Merce was our server and she was what puts this place on top. She and the staff is worth hitting this place up. Also the food was super affordable.

2022-05-25WORST PLACE EVER! If i could rate this lower I would. They charged me for chips and salsa because all I got was queso. They showed me a new policy paper at the register said it was on the table when it wasnt. The server shouldve told us this when she gave us the chips and salsa. Skrew this place. Restaurants always trying to get their moneys worth.
