went for the bottomless brunch... the food was good and the drinks were middle strength... the waitress was THE BEST. favorite part of the meal was the shrimp ceviche and the fruit cups with mango puree.Vegetarian options: There isn't much for vegetarians/vegans... many things have meat, cheese, crema, sour cream, etc... the safest things are the plantains and the mushroom tacos

Came here for happy hour just a few days ago and loved it - my only constructive criticism would be for some of the food items. The happy hour deal is pretty good and would recommend the margaritas - the strawberry is pretty refreshing! We sampled a few items - I'd say the chicken and carnitas tacos are pretty good. The nachos were good as well though I think the chicken used to top it was just a little dry. Would recommend the queso and though we didn't do this, would try adding the chorizo! The chicken flautas were also a touch dry but okay overall. Loved the brownie with butter pecan ice cream for dessert and wanted to come back to try the other desserts on the menu as well as other items on the regular food menu!

Bottomless drinks AND bottomless food? This place has it all. Also the food is absolutely fire. So many options! And you have to try the "secret" mimosa flavor. Our waiter Andrew was so iconic, my friends and I were loving his energy! Highly recommend this place for brunch! I wish I took more pics of the food but this is all I got

Fantastic Mexican food in a spacious comfortable dining room. The frozen margaritas are excellent and definitely try the queso fundido with chorizo!

We had a total great time at Maya. From the very first moment when we got there the service was phenomenal. The al pastor tacos, the margaritas and their desserts are sooooo good!!

Amazing food and even more amazing staff. Fernanda is by far the most personable server I've ever had. She makes sure we're taken care of every time! We love her!

Just plain over-priced for what you get. The food tasted nice but our entrees and sides just seemed very unsubstantial for the cost eg $9 for half a cob of corn. After spending a $100 we went home and needed to eat at home. Even for a fancy Mexican in 2024 that’s a bit disappointing.

Maya is one of my favorite restaurants on the UES for modern Mexican food, cocktails & tequila! Raul and Adrian make the best margaritas, the Maya margarita is my favorite...it's made with tamarind and a spicy Chile piquin rim but their spicy margarita and the hibiscus is also delicious. The queso fundido w chorizo and chicken enchiladas and steak fajitas are amongst some of the dishes I love to have whenever I'm there. I like that they also do a separate seasonal menu which features both food and drink items that's not on their regular menu.

Came here for a la carte Sunday brunch and there was no need for a reservation - lots of seats available since it's a massive space. We ordered corn on the cob, ceviche, fajitas, spring roll, and salmon. I also ordered a pot of tea. The corn could have used more oomph, the spring roll was loved by my friend, the fajitas were OK but it the beef was tender and flavorful, the ceviche was a bit odd but not horrible. The salmon was good and my tea pot was big. Service was good and food was decent, so overall it was a good time. I'd recommend it if you need a reliable last minute brunch spot.

I've been here once for dinner and twice for brunch and it has still not upset. The food here is so tasty and the prices (for both brunch and dinner) is reasonable. I think the price for bottomless brunch here is one of the best in the city. While the ambiance during dinner is more formal; it's less formal and get loud during brunch. I've had mixed service -- but not to the level where I would never come again. I'd definitely recommend this place whether it's for brunch or dinner, and whether it's a big group or small.
