Incredible mole dishes. Best margarita I have ever had. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the country. Mind altering chocolate bomb for dessert.

The food is so good it makes you weep. If you ask for a couple of chips, don't be mad if you literally get two! It's quite funny actually. Perfect portions so you have space for dessert.

Solid Mexican food, although not as inventive or impressive as Mixteco across the street. Great place to BYOB with a group, as it gets very loud inside anyway, so you might as well contribute.

Love El Maya!! Jimmy the owner is very gracious and makes excellent margaritas if you bring your own tequila (it's a BYOB!!). The volcano is my favorite and the homemade quac is a must!!

The molcajete is amazing and the grilled calamari appetizer is great. Plus, BYOB!

Don't forget to bring a bottle tequila or whatever your drink of choice so they can add it to their sangria or Margarita pitchers

Amazing food. BYOB and outdoor seating for the summer. The mocajete is a must try.

Wouldn't come back again: overpriced, less than fair service, not memorable.
