Went there for the first time after living locally for over 20 years. Had a feeling it would be average and it was.

We stumbled upon this place as we drove by Scotts Valley. Really authentic food. I had the chicken mole which was yummy. Not too bitter and just enough sweetness. Others had the relleno and loved it along with beans.

I went to Maya Mexican Restaurant for dinner & drinks on a Friday night. Totally packed. The food was good – it met my expectations based on the overall impression I had prior to going there. I ordered the combination fajitas and shared a pitcher of the house margaritas. The fajitas were good, the ingredients were fresh and cooked just right. The beef and shrimp were better than the chicken. The guacamole, rice, and beans were quite good. By contrast, I didn’t care for the margaritas. Go with a frozen margarita rather than the traditional. There were plenty of servers, but service was slow. Given the number of guests, I didn’t really get worked up about it.

Great Mexican food is hard to find. This is one of the best I have had in a long time. Tasty and Hot. The only minus was the Margaritas. Not bad enough to make it a 4 start review. The food is that good.

Nice, chill restaurant. I came here with my friend and his family for dinner a little while ago. I ordered the big vegetarian taco and it was a good choice. They mean it when they say big taco. Pretty fresh tasting vegetables and tasty beans and rice side. Super hot plates when the food first comes out so be careful :). Very attentive waiting staff too, when we were there.

Over the past 25+ years it has been my go to place for “Mexican” food. We’ve enjoyed lunches, dinners and private parties there.

We have been going to this restaurant for almost 20 years now, and over the years the food and service has declined. Our most recent visit was very disappointing. The food was just okay and not even that warm, even though when they bring it to your table they say “hot plate, hot plate”, but its barely even warm. On this visit we had some food leftover, so we asked for some to go containers. They charged us .50cents for each container, how low can you get. Its beyond me when an establishment wants to charge .50cents for a to go container. This place is obviously family owned and I would love to support it, but I can no longer do so. Unless they change their business practices, we wont be going back. There is another restaurant in aptos, which I wont mention the name, their service is AMAZING! They even give you a side of jalapenos and dont charge you for it, where Maya will charge you $2. Oh, and this other place doesnt charge for to go containers, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!! I would avoid Maya at all costs and go give your money to other establishments that deserve it.

Love this place. The food is perfect. I can order anything here and bam! the best Mexican food in town. The people are excellent and efficient in service. Very clean. Every time I go, there aren’t many people, so there are plenty of choices for seating. Its location is odd, but it’s a hidden crown jewel.

If you love good Mexican food, then you might want to find another spot. Their food is unbelievably bland, and I’ve tried several dishes. It’s just not good Mexican food. You’d be better off just going to a taqueria, and it would be much easier on your wallet. Nice staff, full bar, and terrible food.

Hands down one of the worst over priced places I have ever been to. The chips & salsa not good. Got the guacamole pretty good. I had the carnitas plate and my wife had the Car Asada plate.
