Maya Cuisine

Call it 4.6 overall, based on one visit. Maya has two areas, the front along Central is the street-food area, and the back area is for sit-down dining and the bar photos, all the same kitchen - and patio is in the far back. The bar would be a good place to watch The World Cup, I imagine; if one were to watch The World Cup. The tomales were among the best I have had in Minnesota. Patio dining looks nice but it was in the 40's when we visited. All food items were good, definitely not spicy or over-spiced if anything more the opposite as this feels classic traditional Mexican. They do a nice job with service and creating as good an atmosphere too. No worries about being too hot/spicy. Definitely recommend.

My friend took me here and it was amazing. We went for the Sunday buffet 10:00-2:00. Everything was really good and they have a nice selection of food. I couldn't stop eating the tamales and the flan! Staff was friendly and were very good about keeping up with refilling the buffet. Definitely recommend going!! Features: Covid 19 was like, so totally last year.

Based on the reviews we had high expectations. Well, this place was a total disappointment. The food tasted below average, the price is higher compared to the standard. The staffs are friendly, no doubt in that. But definitely one of the worst tacos I had in my life. Everything was cold, including the tortilla. The tamales compared to the tacos were a little better. Nonetheless, none of the dishes wasn’t worth the money.

Friendly staff. Generous portions of good food. Nice salsa bar with creative options I haven’t seen elsewhere. I got the Maya Plate $11 for lunch. I configured it with a carnitas taco, a chicken taco, and a pork tamale. It came with Mexican rice and a choice of refried or black beans I went with refried today. Order and pay at the counter, stop by the salsa bar before grabbing a table in their welcoming space. Lots of table options without being crowded. Plasticware and napkins available at the salsa bar. Everything was good. If you’re hungry, this is a great option in the neighborhood as portions are generous. Free parking on the street. It proved to be a popular lunch venue. I think I’ll try the taco salad next time.

I looked at a trusted food site for brunch recommendations in the Cities and this was on their list. We have a local Mexican buffet that we really enjoy so we decided to give this a try. I was pretty happy we did. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The mexican food is awesome and leans closer to authentic than our local buffet. I wish they had horchata on the buffet, but they do not. They do offer orange drink, water, coffe decaf/regular, and a bin of soda cans. The breakfast options weren't our favorite, but is that really why someone would go to this brunch? The soup, taco/nacho bar is amazing. Do not miss out on the churros. They were a delicious end to the meal and experience. Highly recommend for great mexican food!

Hands down my all-time favorite authentic Mexican place. Food is always fresh staff is helpful and prices are amazing

We went when it wasn't that crowded around 3 and the enchiladas, pozole and happy hour nachos cost $ 36 more than enough for 2+ people. We enjoyed the vibe and food.Food: 4/5

The food was horrible. Was the over excessive use of corn/other vegetables and a scarce amount of queso sauce- due to the pandemic? I’m really disappointed in the lack of effort put into their cooking. I would rant and rave over this place even during the peak of the pandemic. My food had no seasoning, chicken was bland as white rice, my horchata rice milk beverage was extremely water down and I’m sure not made with rice. Overall disgusting. I really hated having to write this review.

Maya Cuisine & Bar have always been my favorite place in Minneapolis to dine in. The setting is very nice in the inside. Very nice customer service. The bar is amazing which is a split off area from the restaurant which make more private. There is also a dating area located right in the bar where you could enjoy a date..Food: 5/5

So great! First time here was the Sunday brunch on October 30th. Everything I tried was really good.Food: 5/5
