We ordered the Elotes off the cob ($11.99) and the Molcajete ($30) which is grilled fajita steak, chicken, chorizo, shrimp, onions, nopal cactus and cheese. We also ordered one Margarita ($16). We first experienced a Molcajete in a restaurant in Mazatlan, Mexico and fell in love with it and all of its ingredients including the cactus. This Molcajete at Cocina Maya was soooo tasty. Served in an actual Molcajete which is made from lava rock and it holds the heat very very well. We shared this between the two of us and still had a decent amount to bring home with us. The Elotes was very tasty and the corn was nice and firm and it was perfect. Service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is light in colors and there is a lot of light that shines through the windows. This restaurant is a good distance from our home, and well worth the drive to it. We most definitely recommend this tasty restaurant.

I first tried Cocina Maya at the Science Center Yelp event, and honestly, the food and cocktails we…read morehad there were SO good that I knew I had to make it to the actual restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant experience was pretty disappointing compared to that first impression. The space itself feels a little sterile, although the service staff was friendly and nice. We ordered the al pastor and chicken tacos, and I also tried the tamales and my friend's fish tacos. Unfortunately, everything felt a bit dry and under-seasoned. The masa on the tamales in particular was very dry. The drinks were just okay as well, they tasted pretty weak compared to the cocktails we had at the Yelp event. It's a shame because I really enjoyed what I tried at the event and went in expecting a lot more. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but based on the difference between the two experiences, I left pretty disappointed.

They have a HUGE menu with many classic dishes and also offer table side guacamole. Their alcoholic beverage options are plentiful, but my recommendation is the Pima colada served in a pineapple, which comes either blended or on the rocks. I also enjoy that they offer a freshly made salsa bar as well as chips and salsa for the table. My only caution is that since this location is relatively close to UCG, it can get very crowded on the weekends, especially holiday weekends.

Service was great - food was fast! My husband and I each got specialty margaritas - we ordered "small" and were glad! They were pretty big. The mediums must be huge. Drinks were delicious and had a ton of fruit inside. My husband loved the mole chicken and the bean dip that comes with the chips was yummy. I, however, should have stuck with the beans. As a vegetarian, I decided to give some love to the soy taco option. It had some good reviews from 4-5 years back and I try to support creative veggie food when I can. I make tacos with a soy food product and they're delicious, so I was hopeful. I should have refrained. First of all, they looked pretty gross. Little pink lumps, not at all what I was expecting. I added cheese and ordered them in soft corn tortillas (they come in lettuce). It was so bland and had an unpleasant texture. But it also had this fake smell to it. I added salsa, thinking it would help. It did not. The pinto beans that came with it were also pretty bland. I barely ate one of the tacos. It's been a long time since I couldn't eat the food I ordered. They should stick to beans and rice. I also got a cheese enchilada from the à la carte menu. That was good! All in all, I might go back if I wanted a fruit salad in my margarita, but I will absolutely not order the soy tacos again!

The chips are a little on the thicker side and the salsa was fantastic with a nice spice to it. Many of the items on the menu do not come with rice and beans, that is an extra. Unless you're ordering the combination plate or a specific meal rice and beans are not included as they typically are at a Mexican restaurant. The combination plate was OK is it could've used a little bit more flavor. The ground beef was not something I would go back for as it was very soupy and flavorless. Overall, this is solid choice for Mexican type food with a little room for improvement.

We were greeted right upon entry and there was plenty of seating around. They have a diverse menu with plenty of options for people who both enjoy spicy food and non-spicy food. They also have a full bar if you would like a drink. The overall ambience is very cantina like. They have wooden chairs wooden tables and a bar at the center. They do have some very colorful decor around as well. Staff was friendly throughout. I opted for the burrito and it was ginormous and I definitely couldn't finish all of it. Definitely well worth the price point for the amount of food that you're given. Everybody was very happy with their meals and drinks and I'll definitely be returning to this location. Overall: A+ Easy to see why this is a local favorite. Definitely will be back for more off of the menu!

It is always busy after work because the place is that good. On our recent visit we ordered a beef dip to have with the chips and salsa. They also have a tasty guacamole on the menu. For drinks we've gotten the pitcher of margaritas our last two visits and it really is the perfect amount for 2 or 3 people. Each person gets at least 2 glasses full which is a great value for the price. Things we like: Pastor Tacos, Nortenos Tacos, Tacos Gringos, queso dip, and the rice and beans with the main dish. Service is always wonderful, the staff is attentive and helpful if you want recommendations. If the dining room looks full, try sitting at the bar and you'll be right at home.

Unfortunately, as much as I love the food there and the ambience, especially on Cinco de Mayo, I was starving! I remembered around the corner there was a restaurant that had been recommended in the past, but I never got the chance to check out. Being that I was in the area, I figured let's give this spot a try. Lo and behold, El Pueblo was only six minutes down the road! There was a 20 minute wait, but I was greeted kindly by the staff, and when I walked in you could tell this place was super authentic. The decor was super vibrant and music was bumping. They do not have alcohol, but they have coronas and a margarita type glass premixed for purchase. That held us over for the time being. The chips and salsa were phenomenal. The salsa had some type of sweet pepper flavor to it and you could tell it was homemade. My friend got three tacos with rice and beans and I got the flautas you were able to choose your own meat, which was really cool no extra charge. Sometimes back up plans can end up being the best finds. Definitely will be back!!!!
