Stopped in for lunch. Ordered bento box with California roll and teriyaki chicken. Was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely go back read more

Because I'm transplanted here from San Diego, Mexican food is always part of my weekly, if not daily, menu plan. For the most part I've been able to make due with nuking something from Trader Joe's frozen food case, but when I want REAL Mexican food and a margarita, Maya's is where I head to. And on the weekend so does everyone else. The place is always packed! When I visit Maya's I feel like I'm back in San Diego, seated at the landmark, Old Town Mexican Cafe. People, this is the real deal. Maya's serves authentic Mexican food. Is it gourmet Mexican food? No, but then I'm not someone who wants a $25 plate of chicken mole, either. Maya's satisfies my craving. They offer pork carnitas which are every bit as good as those served in San Diego. ditto the chips, salsa, guacamole...... and margaritas. If, like me, you prefer shredded beef rather than the 'Americanized' ground beef, Maya's has it, so ask! If you haven't experienced shredded beef, give it a try in whatever you'd normally have ground beef. The taco salads here are wonderful and so tasty, especially when I cover it with their homemade salsa. OMG! I'm in heaven! The chicken is all white meat, and so much of it that I've often joked that it's not even a salad because there's more meat than greens. LOL The salad & chips are enough to have me waddling out of here wishing I had stopped eating when I was full half a salad ago. It just tastes so good I can't stop eating until I feel sick. ha ha ha Fast service, free refills on fountain drinks, never ending chips and salsa. Maya's makes may homesickness for San Diego much easier to deal with. read more

Excellent casual Mexican food. This is our destination of choice when we head over to the west side to visit with family. The food is very good, the service is friendly, and has been mentioned elsewhere, the food comes out pretty quickly. Worth driving 15-20 minutes out of the way if you're looking for good Mexican food on the southwest side of town. read more

Always 5 Stars. Fantastically consistent food and wonderful wait staff. Perfect for all ages.

I've been here twice now, and I felt a little underwhelmed each time. The food isn't bad at all, and the atmosphere is much more authentic than many other Mexican restaurants around the area. Generally, I thought the food was slightly bland and under seasoned. I was also disappointed that my dish didn't come with salsa or a sauce, but they had a good selection of hot sauces at the table. I think that this isn't a bad restaurant at all, just not impressive. read more

Decided to take my wife out on a date and we chose Maya, good food and good service just wasn't super blown away. This is a good place for a date night so try it out! read more

Okay. I just ordered and want to draft this review before my food arrives. My first impression of Maya... Oh, nevermind. My foods here. Yeah, it was that fast. Most Mexican and Chinese restaurants are. I'm not stereotyping if it's totally true, right? But Mayas food came out twice as fast as other Mexican restaurants. It's as if other Mexican restaurants take your order then order it from Maya. I dunno. Everything else was typical for a Mexican restaurant in the Cleveland area. Decent salsa and chips. Etc. Etc. We'll return if we're in the area. read more

Everything we tried here was amazing, and the service was fast and friendly! Highly recommend the queso, veggie tacos, and the beans, which are perfectly seasoned. We had a great experience! read more

Really enjoy this place. When I worked down the street, we went here for lunch every couple weeks. This was my first time having dinner and a margarita. The staff is always friendly and their service is prompt. They have wonderful lunch specials and daily specials. They have a great assortment of flavored margaritas including my favorite, mango. I had chicken chimichangas last night and my friend had the fajita quesadilla. Chips and salsa are brought to the table to start off your meal and they'll bring you more as you get down to the bottom. I've never had a bad meal here. read more

We stopped in to Maya's on a road trip going off of other Yelp reviews. The atmosphere was nice. We were greeted immediately and seated in a large booth. Our server was very friendly and took our order pretty quickly. I had the chicken enchiladas. They were not the best I've ever had nor the worst. Better than fast food Mexican for sure. Husband got the Chile Rojo. He said it was good, but the sauce was a little too "tomatoey" for his taste and he would have liked more spice. Over all it was a decent experience. read more

MAN I love good service! I came to Maya with a group of at least 20 college-aged and 20-30-something young adults who were just coming off the high of a week of camp with small children and who needed to relax and let loose. This group was loud, obnoxious and could've easily ticked off any staff at a restaurant. However, the Maya staff were phenomenal. They were patient, took our orders, got them right, took our drinks, got them right, even divided up separate checks and GOT IT RIGHT. I mean WAY. TO. GO. They were happy we chose to eat with them and it showed. The food was delicious. The chips and salsa were neverending. And all in all it was a great night. Great job, Maya. read more

Easily my favorite Mexican restaurant. There's just no way to beat the quality of taste, price and speed at which the food comes out, and to top it all off the staff is authentic. The decor also reminds me of the type I'd see in Tarandacuao. Maya is definitely a top-notch restaurant experience. read more

Ehhh... Lots of food but everything tasted the same and bland...My Mexican should be spicy and varied in flavour... Not so much here...It wasn't bad, just not great...I'd say just ok... read more

Came here for the 1st time for lunch. It's in a plaza, so there is plenty of parking We were sat right away. The place is clean It's nice cause they have huge booths that could sit a larger group of at least 8 I'd say. Free salsa & chips that r good We also got the cheese and a guacamole. Both very good Lime margarita on the rocks = very good!not a gross tasting mix Server very nice Playing Mexican music Got the chicken fajita quesadilla and my partner in crime got the chimichanga - both very good I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food, but I will definitely be back here!! read more

Amazing, authentic mexican cuisine! The staff is very helpful and friendly. It's very clean and has a small, friendly feel to it. I highly recommend the Pollo Con Crema and the fried ice cream. Will continue to go back! I don't know why I haven't gone here sooner! Absolutely delicious! read more

Maya Restaurant - Pollo con crema with rice, guacamole, lettuce, and tomato. Fantastic! - Mexican Near Me - Berea, Ohio

Hands down best Mexican food around PERIOD. Food is always fresh , hot and delicious! Would not recommend another Mexican place. You can't beat the prices and top food quality. Seriously best Mexican food. And service is fast. And they get to know you personally which is since. Their sour cream is the best in the worlds as is their cheese dip! Give them and try you'lol thank me later. And if you don't have time to sit in, their take out is pretty awesome too! read more

Not often in Berea for much of anything, but made a trip out to finally check out Campus Grille. Turns out they were closed so quickly yelped for a new joint...and Maya it was. The scoop: Service was on point. All were Mexican and it was nice to exercise my native tongue. This is the definition of tex-mex food. Huge portions and a joy to look at. Flavors are there. Sad not to see a mole on the menu or actual queso fresco atop my enchiladas, but how many people outside Mexico/SoCal understand how important queso fresco is to enchiladas!? Margaritas were cheap and sweet. Go jumbo. They got oomph. All in all, the lady was extremely happy which made me happy. That's a win. read more

Great Mexican food, fantastic frozen margaritas. I always sit at the bar so I can't judge they table service, but the bartenders are fast and the food comes right out. The super burrito is awesome! read more

Hands down, there is no other Mexican restaurant in the area that can compare to Maya. The first thing you'll notice as you walk through the door is the atmosphere--neatly placed tables, a giant mural on the far wall, the lighting shielded by red plastic clouds. Yes, I said plastic clouds. The thin plastic shapes underneath the lighting fixtures are a holdover from the establishment's former days as an Italian eatery, and they contribute more to the atmosphere of the place than anything else. Eating under harsh fluorescent light isn't much fun, and the clouds help to diffuse the light and make everything just a little more cozy. The waitstaff is friendly, helpful and polite--always. I've never had a bad experience with the folks at Maya. The food is also served FAST! ... and you should see how these folks carry plates, it's not unusual to see a young man weaving his way through the restaurant with plates stacked all the way up to his shoulder. The food! The food is excellent--it is also the most authentic Mexican I've had outside of Mexico. I am a big fan of their enchiladas, but I also love their fajitas and pollo con crema. If you're a nacho fan, their nachos are excellent as well, made with great big heaps of queso blanco. Maya also has some rockin' margaritas, made with liberal measures of tequila and served in heavy glassware (they also come in several different flavors). They also serve other drinks and imported Mexican beers. There is a bar by the door, which is a great place to sit if you're only interested in drinking--by why do that when you can sit at a table and have nachos, too? You'd except to pay a lot for all this, but the prices are beyond reasonable. Dinner for my husband and I, with an appetizer and drinks, runs about $30. I'd recommend Maya to anyone! read more

You might except to pay a lot for all this, but the prices are beyond reasonable. Overall you can't go wrong, from service to food, atmosphere and price it's a BIG HIT WITH ME!! If you've never been, you should give it a try....you won't be disappointed I promise!! read more

Good local Mexican place. Food is very tasty and it is not like your normal Mexican neighborhood place, this one goes an extra mile!

I'd give them a better rating but they offer no substitutions. As a vegetarian sometimes it is helpful just to make a few substitutions. My waiter wouldn't have it. Then he said maybe, I asked for a cheese quesadilla instead of an enchilada and he said no. Hmmm. Food is okay and lunch prices are cheap. read more

Love Maya! The food is great and the people are awesome. The owner always recognizes me and my husband and makes us feel like family! Love the mom and pop feel to this awesome restaurant! read more

I visited here this evening with my 2 kids. I wish there was a half star rating system here. This place would be the perfect 3.5. Not really a 4. Not really a 3. 3.5 would be just right. We were quickly greeted. Seated promptly. Order was taken right away and food came out less than 5 minutes later. I read this in other reviews so this was exactly what I was looking for. Reasonable (adult meals mostly under $10; kid meals under $5) and quick in and out service. I got exactly what I expected here. Decor is starting to wear here. I don't take away points for that unless its really dirty. I didn't think that about this place. The food itself arrived hot. Free chips and salsa. Salsa was as good as it gets anyplace. Loaded with onion and cilantro. My kinda of salsa. With a touch of heat. I really like that. Portions are on par with other Mexican places in t he area. And the food overall is just average. I'd say 3.5 for the food. Not bad. Not blow me away thinking this was very flavorful and different. Just average. Average taco, chile poblano, and enchilada. All what I expected. So I'm not going to penalize the restaurant for the rating system here. So that's why the 4 stars. If that changes I can revisit this review someday. read more

This restaurant is only a few minutes from where I grew up and i've been wanting to try it out for a long while. My parents and I finally went here to celebrate my sisters birthday last week and the food was delicious. We got a serving of their queso dip and wow, some of the best I've had! We shared a half pitcher of their strawberry daiquiri and they did not skimp on the booze. It was both strong and tasty. The service was both friendly and speedy. When my mother orders it can be quite an ordeal but the waitress was polite and accommodating as she asked question after question about numerous menu items. There are a number of restaurants in this small college town but Maya is a can't miss. read more

We have been fans of this place for a long time, inside dining is always pleasant and the staff are friendly and attentive. During the pandemic, ordering online has been ok. The food does not seem to be put together as well and this has been consistent now the past few times we have ordered, kind of slopped in the packages. Not a huge fan of the take out but it is a good place to gather. read more

Great place. Clean, comfortable, good service, fresh chips, ok salsa (not hot enough for me), good vegetarian selection, good price. We came at Saturday about 4, it quickly got very crowded with families. Will return! read more

My family and I frequent Maya. The food is always good. The service is always quick and the staff very attentive. They are patient with my daughter who can be a bit rambunctious at times. And they always suggest what to try if we're interested in something other than our "usual" read more

Maya is my favorite place to get Mexican food! Cheap and great food- how can you go wrong? The meals are cheap so it works perfect for people (eh, college students) who are tight on cash! You really get your money's worth here! It's a fast paced environment! Seated fast, order fast, and food to you....fast! it's a great time! read more

This is a cute place (particularly like the stained glass front windows), with cheap prices. Service was excellent. Food isn't great, but it's not bad either. You'll find better tex-mex elsewhere in the country, but for Ohio it's pretty par for the course food-wise. read more

Ambiance is pleasant, service is super quick even when packed, and the food is great. We still talk about our dinner there as we had to roll out we were so pleasantly stuffed! Definitely get the fried ice cream it is slamming! read more

Make sure you get the Cozumel Soup. Even if you aren't a soup person...get the soup. It's so good, it warms the soul, hits all the right taste buds and is just down right delicious in its simplicity. During the most recent visit we also really enjoyed the queso, tamales, stuffed peppers, and the quesadilla. I can't wait to come back! read more

After discussing Mexican all week at work I just needed it. lol This place is delicious! The complementary chips and salsa was so yummy. I got the super burrito and I was not disappointed! The service was fast and friendly. They were playing live music which was very relaxing and my toddler just loved it. read more

I love Maya. I always get a jumbo margarita or split a pitcher and shredded chicken nachos. I could drink the queso, I always get extra. The margaritas are pretty strong, but smooth. If your looking for a deal they have margarita specials on Tuesdays. I've tried some of the combination dinners, tacos, and other items and never been disappointed. Usually the nachos fill me up though, as it's a large portion. I really like the fajitas too! That portion is HUGE. Even with two of us sharing it we had half left. The staff is always friendly and easy to chat with. They get pretty busy, but I've never had to wait long for a table or I've been able to just grab a seat at the bar. read more

Fantastic food! Also very accommodating for picky eaters who make many substitutions like myself :) would highly recommend to anyone.

Crazy Good !! The have real "taco stand" tacos. If you know what I mean, order the "Mexican Tacos" -- not the standard tacos. You'll be blown away. Oh, ask for a lime wedge because it doesn't come with lime -- it's no extra charge. Tamales are magnifico. All the Mex standards are great, too. Fast, clean, fun. Waiters have small language barriers, but that adds to the charm. Can't stop thinking about the Mexican Tacos. read more

We were visiting from out of town and this was our first visit to Maya. The food was delicious and the margaritas packed a punch! The service was really good too. I would definitely come back next time we visit Ohio. read more

Best mexican food and fish tacos around. Still have eat in. Still serving chips and salsa as snacks while waiting. Employees are awesome.

i don't think the food is bad at all and you actually get somewhat large servings of food per order but the reason why I can't give this place 5 stars is because they removed my food from my table and sat another party when i went to the bathroom to go #2 an that really grinded my gears and I haven't been back there since then read more

Great food! Good atmosphere! Service is seriously lacking. We had empty waters and salsa almost the entire meal. We then waited a good 20 minutes for our check. The waiter was unapologetic and then proceeded to take the next tables order after I explained we were trying to leave asap. Again everything but the service was top notch. read more
