Maya Mexican Grill Orinda Reviews
We stopped in for a quick bite before watching a film at the Orinda Theatre. Cute little place with a decent amount of seating and hand crafted chairs from Mexico. We ordered the Burrito Maya with chicken, smothered in their delicious mole sauce. Also had a couple of crispy chicken tacos. Complimentary ships were provided and a little mini bar of salsas and pickled vegetables. Love the green sauce, could smother this on everything! Will definelty come back.
A lot of good food for the money! The Quesadilla Especial with steak and shrimp is very good. I got mine without bell peppers because my stomach has been sensitive. The guacamole is fresh and not spicy, which I like.
The food was delicious! You have to come to this extraordinary restaurant! The vibes are also so cool!!

This place is the best Mexican food I have ever eaten and very authentic. My go to place in Orinda. I love how the staff is attentive and down to earth. A line out the door at lunch shows you how good they are
I've only had the Ranchero Chicken burrito, and it is perfection. The chicken is so tender and flavorful, it feels like it melts in your mouth. I eat one every week.

Great food and great service! Highly recommend the chili verde and anything with their mole sauce! They have some quasi-fusion items for those who want to ease into real mexican food, but plenty of authentic choices too!
Best Mexican food around! My only regret is that I didn’t find this place sooner because it’s a local staple. Thanks Maya for the best burritos ever.
# g r a t e f u l I absolutely love this place. The best Mexican food in Orinda. THANK GOD. I always get the carne asada super burrito. Their homemade salsa is awesome. 10/10.
super nice place and the lady at the desk was sweet. their super burrito is probably one of the greatest things to ever grace my mouth
Ordered chicken mole and enchiladas with mole. The mole sauce is AMAZING. The portion sizes are sensible. I got dinner for the wife and grandparents, and everyone was very impressed
Best authentic Mexican food around. Dine in space is very basic. Food is delicious. Staff very friendly. I recommend to call ahead to order the food if you want to take out. Takes 10-15 min to prepare from time to order.
I must have goofed looking the place up and hit a 1 star. I moved to 5 as I have friends that eat there often and love it. Apparently the crispy tacos are amazing. I'll update my rating if I find something different. Apologies if my erroneous rating caused confusion.
I love ordering here for lunch. The burritos are always good and the red salsas spicey level is great. The only problem I can see is when they get busy on the phone or harsh people from the area.

Only taqueria in town worth going to. My favorite is the pork chile verde burrito - I get it a couple times a month. Very authentic, sustaining, delicious. It's a tiny spot, very crowded, line out the door. Not the spot for a date - get your burritos to go and head out to Inspiration Point. Fair prices for Orinda. Drop a tip in the jar for the awesome cashier.
I've been here twice and both times I had good food and friendly service (the huevos rancheros was great). I love that I can get something to-go or sit and have a beer. And it's great that there's another Mexican Food option in Orinda.
Hit and miss. I love the pork chili verde and they have good mole. But their chips are some very salty and look mass produced. When they have fresh chips it is quite delicious. The pickle and salsa bar is not well stocked at times. Friendly staff though, perhaps the only reason I'm giving it a four star instead of three

Host / order-taker super rude. Clear that she feels she's doing me a HUGE favor by taking my order. Further, can't believe they want $1.25 for a tiny container of pico de gallo to go with my order! Plus, give tiny portion of chips to eat with lunch and charge a $1 for a refill!! No ice for drinks. One time is more than enough.
Was pretty quick to order nice people. The food not that great. The food tasted not authentic. If I wanted a bland burrito I could of made it my self. The salsa though was fantastic. The guy that was running the register was handling money and putting chips into bags. I think that is gross. The chips tasted like the ones you get at the gas station you put nacho cheese on.

Slow even when not busy!! Condiment salsa bar messy, limes looked old and dried out, jalapeños and carrots are always gone. When asked if they had anymore they always say sorry we do not.
