This is best Latin American, fusion restaurant in the city! The food was delicious! The restaurant is decorated so beautifully,... the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The drinks we yummy! Literally can’t say anything bad about this place.Definitely go try it! I can’t wait to go back. We order so much food to try everything! Also, who thought to fry Elotes?!?!Literally the best invention lol. Make a reservation and GO! Read more
We went for lunch. The food is delicious and authentic, in a relaxed atmosphere. Started with an empanada, sized to share (we... had one filled with a traditional chicken picadillo), and the palomas were generous. We had the cubano-- smoky and meaty, withcrisp fries we couldn't stop eating-- and a poblano relleno with steak, which was flavorful and hearty. Will try the flan nexttime because we were too full.

This place is so good! The menu has so many appetizing options! If you love Latin food, this is the spot. First and foremost,... it’s a small eatery with friendly customer service. The food is made hot and fresh to order, so be patient. The food isbursting with flavor. The appetizer was my favorite!! I ordered the seafood tostones. Now my dinner dish was the shrimp curry,which was good but the shrimp were a little over cooked. Their drink options (non alcoholic) were limited as they were out ofthings. Overall, I would 100% eat at Mayas again. Great owner and employees! Definitely worth a try if you are in the NewOrleans Area! Read more
THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF A 5 STAR EXPERIENCE. The owner/chef/bartender is a Superman - somehow made the best mojitos we’ve... ever tasted while simultaneously cooking some of the most tasty food we’ve ever had. Amazing cocktails, food, and service!They even had an espresso martini waiting for us on the way out. Read more
Good food but not inattentive service. We had the flank steak and curry. Good size portions. Watched the server touch all the... eating parts of the silverware while she was rolling. Read more
Instead of cooking Christmas dinner, we decided to dine out. I did a quick search to see who was accepting reservations on... Christmas day (that wasn't attached to some big hotel charging $100 a plate), and saw that Mayas was going to be open. Thisplace has been on my list of places for a while now, and I figured now was a good time to go. This restaurant smelled amazingsoon as we opened the door, the decor is lovely, I'm really into to the art they have displayed. The Christmas decor was reallypretty, too. We were enthusiastically greeted, checked for our Vax card, and seated. The server we had was very knowledgeable,really nice, and professional. Now, the food.... everything we had, from the complimentary chips and salsa to the entrées wasdelicious. Their salsa isn't a traditional tomato salsa, it's a sweet and spicy mango salsa that has a similar flavor profile tothe dipping sauce often served with pot stickers in Asian restaurants. It's so good, they really should bottle it up and sellit. We ordered the black bean and chorizo empanadas, let me tell you these are the best empanadas I've had in years. I used tobuy my empanadas from a sweet El Salvadoran lady daily on my way to culinary school years ago, and aside from hers the ones atMayas are the best. I had the Jamaican curried shrimp, and my daughter ordered the grilled chicken with black beans and ricewith mango salsa, both meals were delicious. The servings were large, I ate all of my shrimp but couldn't finish the rice andveggies. My daughter took her meal home as leftovers she could have for lunch the next day. I don't normally condone texting atthe table during meal time, but I made an exception during this meal, because the food was so good I was texting my best friendabout it and sending her pictures. We'll definitely be back. I highly recommend this restaurant. Make reservations, wear yourmask, and bring your vaccine card. They are following city guidelines. Read more

this is the best latinx restaurant I've ever been too. The atmosphere is amazing, and the people are even better. Our waiter is... name Joshua and we talked for over 30 minutes about his story and the restaurant. He was so kind and friendly. Our food wasamazing too. I got the beef and chicken emanadas, and they were incredible. tasted great and filled me up, along withcomplimentary tortilla chips and salsa. Speaking of, the salsa is a custom mix of a sweet Chilli base with mango and a multitudeof spices. It was delicious. Read more
