Mayas Authentic Mexican Food

The best fish taco i have ever had. Sea bass not fried. This place is the real deal. Beats every fish taco in northern California!

Good food at good prices. I love the flautas and taco salad. 😋

Service wasn't super friendly(I think the server wasn't feeling well?) But the food was superb!

Hands-down, the best chicken fajitas in town and their deep fried jalapeños are just right. It is definitely enough food to eat lunch and take the rest back to my motel for dinner. I Travel 100% for Work. The Service inside was excellent. It’s very nice and very clean Inside the building. I really recommend if you’re ever in grass Valley checking this place out.

First time trying this restaurant. We had shredded beef taco salads that were delicious, the steak flavor had surprised us because it was so good and there was plenty of it. Chicken enchiladas were classic, personally I love the red sauce. Chili Riano excellent. Definitely want to try the mole sauce next. Will be back soon!

Shrimp burrito was wonderful with just a bit of spice and plenty of shrimp. The chili verde plate was great as well. Margaritas were tasty and service was fabulous.

Food is always great I love going here they all know me and always treat me with respect I have been going here for about two to three year they have never once gave me bad food always fast with service always very respectful and I’m always treated with love. They always have my food out within 10 minutes. They are very respectful. I would never choose to go to another Mexican restaurant unless it was another Maya they have great food and great menu and great personalities there. I love this restaurant overall it’s one of my favorite restaurants ever.

My wife had the chicken Enchiladas with mole, and it was amazing. I had the carnitas wet burrito, and it was excellent and stuffed with crispy perfect carnitas. Taking home leftovers!

Good Mexican comfort food. I'll get 3 meals out of a burrito the size of a football. Full bar. Very nice.

The food was good but not great. Tasty salsa. No longer free chips and salsa bar with your meal.. Now a full alcohol bar. Kids menu is decent. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Beware of full bar...house wine is 6.99 but a mixed cocktail is only 3.50! Clean inside. Plenty of seating. In the Pinecrest shopping center. I love Mexican food but for me just didn't have alot of seasoning.

Fast and pretty cheap. 13.50 for a torta and a beer on tap, not bad. Easy location, lots of parking. Good selection, northern Mexican food. Posole, mole, tortas, burritos, tacos, mixed plates, beer on tap. Simple environment, not pretentious. Good service. Makes this 5 star. On a personal note this torta is served differently than others I have had. Most come as a more traditional sammich, this one came set up for eating on a dish. No biggie, just their style and may affect your menu choices. Tasty either way, but not my preferred so minus one star.

We got seated quickly. Menus came shortly after. We ended up ordering a wet burrito with both red and green sauce and a burrito bowl. Carne asada was our meat of choice. Chips and salsa were good. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The food was good. The service was very good and the decor was fun. We will eat here again.

The atmosphere and service were wonderful. The waitress, an older lady, was very kind and welcoming. She was prompt with our orders and serving of chips and salsa. The chips lacked flavor and with the addition of salt tjey were decent. Unfortunately, the food was not heated up and served cold. It was cooked, but cold. I understand that food needs to be precooked and then assembled. However, they did not prepare the burrito as ordered leaving out the beans, avacado, and sour cream. To make matters worse the burrito was cold, absent of all heat. We were afraid to complain about it so my husband ate it anyways. My dish was mediocre and I ate the rice but the beans were cold and the birria (meat) was cold and too liquidity. I just opted to eat the tortillas and rice. We were never brought refills of our waters but we did have 2 tables of guests with us so perhaps they didn't think we needed it. We would definitely give the restaurant another chance because it was a nice, clean, and authentic Mexican restaurant. I would just ask that the food be heated up, maybe.

Note: this review has a happy ending- BIG disappointment: my Carne Asada Chimichanga was 99% beans and rice, <1% Carne Asada. Of the few pieces of Carne Asada I found, none were larger than any of the hundreds of pinto beans . The Chimi was huge, so I was excited at first… I should have sent it back. Otherwise, my group’s meals were great. Mole Poblano plate, Flauta’s appetizer, Avocado Salad with chicken, all delicious. We have had their take out a couple times ( Mole Chicken enchiladas, Chile Verde plate, Combos, etc.) and were never disappointed. We’ll go again…

We came to this resturant because the photos of the food actually looked pretty appetizing but it wasn't even close to being good at all. First off we ordered and wanted to have a margarita, and they were out of Tequila. How can you be out of Tequila as a resturant? We got our food at our table and the food didnt look good at all. You could tell the shrimp and vegetables were frozen because of all the water on the plate, didnt taste fresh, the shrimp taste pretty fishy. They didnt offer black beans, the plates came with refried beans and they were watery as well. For the 2 of us plus a kid, 2 plates and a kids meal, was $57, and that was only with 2 beers. None of us finished our meals, we left half our plates with food cause it was gross and DID NOT look appetizing. NOT worth the money. I'm one to really never complain about food or send things back, but this was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time.

Specifically no tomato on my $4.50 salad and all it was was tomato and cucumber.😭 was supposed to come with dressing as well and receive nothing. Had to throw it out I’m allergic to tomato. Also ordered two containers of rice and only one was in the bag

I'll keep it short or @ least try. Took my wife to dinner for her birthday, service was horrible, didn't bring water when asked, didn't set eating utensils out before bringing half of food order, my food was cold when placed on table, when I said something about it the server picked up my plate & took it to the kitchen where they put the entire plate in the microwave, then tried to serve me the same plate of food after they put it in a microwave, I didn't go out for microwave food, took forever to get drinks, took 15min to take our order & only 2 other tables were occupied, server brought 1 glass of water, brought fajitas out w/o tortillas or eating utensils, took another 15mi waiting for the check & I didn't get to eat because they had attitude about me not wanting food that was blasted in a microwave.Worse service I've had in a very long time & I definitely don't recommend them nor will I ever go there again, you'd be better off going to a gas station for food. Empty restaurant & they still can't get it right & there is no reason for food getting cold unless it sat in the window because the kitchen staff doesn't know how to plate more than a single plate @ a time.
