Excellent food at great prices, Maya is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area!! Great service and the margaritas are second to none! read more

My wife and I recently made a list of our favorite restaurants, and under the category "Mexican", was one word: "Maya". Never have we been disappointed by the food, service, or prices. Authentic and addicting, this jalapeño hotspot serves up enchiladas, chimichongas, burritos, and a fantastic "fajitas for two" dish that could easily be named "delicious, sizzling fajitas for 3, or possibly even 4, depending on how hungry you are". Everyone working there is very friendly, and you can tell they take pride in their craft. They even circulate coupons--as if we need any more reason to give them our money. Bottom line: If you've been to Maya, congratulations on having won at life. If not, you owe it to yourself. Go! read more

My girlfriend and I went here the other night. To preface this review, both of us are native Texans that lived in Texas for more than twenty years. We were initially excited to try this restaurant based on the rating, but we were extremely disappointed. The chips and salsa were incredibly bland. Seriously, I would have rather eaten Pace salsa from the store. Then came the main course. The chimichanga that I had was mediocre at best. It looked like they used decent quality meat, but the flavor as a whole just wasn't there. The tacos that my girlfriend had were awful. The restaurant's only saving grace was that they did have good service. All in all, I would have rather gone to Taco Bell. I would have paid a fifth of the price for a better meal, and this is coming from someone who doesn't like Taco Bell. read more

Best chimichanga since I left Texas in 1997. Salsa for the chips is awesome and wife loves her fajita. A little bit of a drive but we will be back. Staff was awesome! read more

Mehh, it was bloody okay but okay is about it. Went with me mates and I have my favorite tex-mex restaurant (EL TREN!) but I am always looking for something more. So here is the thing, I feel that I have seen the exact menu before, it may actually be the same exact images and menu (surprisingly thought the prices were better than el tren) but all in all it was interesting because its a nice restaurant but small entrance (don't they all though) and we are standing there like freshmen trying to check in. I of course stood outside loitering, its my only talent. The chips were chips and the problem was what my friend blithered on about before, during, and, of course, following in that he gets ignored. Usually I call him a wicked fool but he was right, the server did not pay us any attention for a long time. Long enough the three of us ate all the chips. They were not refilled and I suspect they may charge you for a refill. I got the Pollo con arroz (Chicken with rice) and it was decent. My friend ordered extra cheese and got it I think plus a surcharge. It was tasty but it was small. The species were whatever and it was as typical as it gets so I would not drop your friend's funeral to run here, just not worth it. read more

First time ordering from Maya , had delivered. Ordered a hard shell taco for my daughter and it showed up softer than a soft taco shell and falling apart , honesty probably would have better luck from Taco Bell. My husband and I both ordered chicken chimichangas which came with beans and an " avocado salad " which was a pile of shredded lettuce with a tiny spoonful of guacamole and sour cream along with a few tomatoes. It didn't even come with rice which I would expect out of any Mexican restaurant. The salsa wasn't even good :-( didn't like anything about this meal and honestly would have sent it back and left if we ordered there in person. read more

Maya Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Berea, Ohio

What a disappointment! Yes, I understand Cinco de Mayo is a busy day for a Mexican restaurant. I ordered food 2 hours ago and the order is still pending.l. Meanwhile, I've already been charged. I decide to get in my car to come here and there are at least 35-40 people outside, waiting. At 7:15 pm there were people who had ordered at 4:45! Really? Could you not prepare for a busy day like today? Could you at least, let one know an approximate time? Could you acknowledge you cannot handle the volume and refuse orders? I'm disgusted! You're wasting MY time! Poorly managed and handled!!! Kat read more

a speedy gonsales with one taco one ground beef enchilada and a choice or the beans or the rice is a good deal for $4.50. also. i am a monster and I cam coming to MAYA this weekend. BEWARE! read more

I have been here a couple times now. Every time has been a ton of food for a small amount of money. The drinks are cheap and the margaritas are great! The atmosphere is fun and I have had great service. Tonight was so fast that I didn't even have time to finish the story I was telling! I have also been there for private catered events and they did a good job handling us! I would really recommend this place, I only dropped 20 dollars and paid for 2 meals, a side, and drinks. Good deal! read more

The interior is a big step up from nearby Nuevo Acapulco. They serve the type of food you would expect, but the presentation and atmosphere is a tad nicer than other local options. It is close to Baldwin-Wallace College. read more

Came here for an after work drink and meal. Couldn't enjoy enjoy my meal or drink because of the FLIES surrounding my table and the area by the window. The waitress checked on me one time in 20 minutes. When I went to pay the check, after abandoning my food and drink, I told the lady ringing me out the issues and all she did was look at me. Horrible customer service. I won't be back. I miss the Mexican restaurant on front street from years ago. NEVER had an issue at that Mexican restaurant. The burrito was gross and the pork inside horribly bland, absolutely no seasoning. The beans were all mushed and was not good. Quality at Maya is apparently non existent. You have twenty workers milling about but can't get rid of flies?? Oh, OK. #disgusting read more

Maya is a point of pride in my city. People know about this place for miles away. I guess it's because the quality is reflected in their work. They have good drink specials, excellent service, and as good of Mexican food as you can get. I've been here several times and I've never been disappointed once. If you get Carlos consider yourself lucky. read more

This it their shot! One ounce! Half full . Lol. Rip off. Don't go there...seriously one ounce... at 4.20/ shot!!! Lol OMG! It's almost funny to get a thimble of liquor. Maybe we should build a wall if they're here ripping us off like this . Look at the picture I included!!! So funny. I even asked, they said it was in that little cup because they were out of shot glasses.! The waitress went in to explain that the shot glass was the same as what she was serving ... because the glass was so thick on the bottom . There's no denying that the bottom of the plastic shot glass says "1oz". HOLLY SHIT! They're making 200/ bottle ... lol Mexicans read more

Maya Restaurant - Lol... one ounce shots! - Mexican Near Me - Berea, Ohio

See all

My family and I love this place. Is the food good? Yeah, sure. It's great, but it's pretty much what you'd expect at a Mexican restaurant such as this. But there are several other places in the area where we could get the same meal. But the staff is what brings us back again and again. These people are friendly. We're there fairly frequently and the waitresses are chatty and excited to see our children. The staff acts as though their genuinely exited to see us there. And perhaps they are! Just a note, the place does fill up quite a bit at normal peak times and there could be a bit of a wait. And yeah, great margaritas. read more

Probably one of my favorite Mexican restaurants around my area. The staff is always extremely friendly! My mom always tells the girls she is going to take the cook home! I cannot review the meat dishes at this place because I always get the same vegetarian meal every time. We also always get their guacamole and queso dip too, which is so good! Everytime I have been here the food is always hot, same great taste and the servers are always awesome! read more

Located in a strip mall in berea. It was busy on a Saturday evening. Wait time was 15 min but were seated in 5 min. Server served our drinks in no time. Margaritas are worth the money especially if one orders a pitcher. Service was prompt. Ambience was ok nothing great. I ordered the pollo con queso and it was served siZzling hot. Cacun cheese steak with chicken option was good. Vegetarian combo no. 2 was delicious. Overall worth the price. Looked at the happy hr and daily lunch specials and looked very reasonable. Worth another try. read more

Great good and customer service, best Mexican restaurant in Berea, gets crowded on the weekend evenings

Living in Berea for almost three years now, I can honestly say that Maya is my absolute favorite restaurant to go to. I have been there roughly 50-60 times, and have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly, the food is awesome. And make sure to get a Margarita, Strawberry Mango is my favorite! read more

Not the best Mexican restaurant, it's not the worst either. Food was alright, service was good, but overall, meh

ordered meals to go for our family of 4 during the corona quarantine it was so so amazing, margaritas to go are the best thing since sliced bread!! read more

This place offers it all- reasonably priced GREAT food, with fast and friendly service. I especially love the tamales and relaxing with a cold margarita in this fun lively atmosphere. Always look forward to the next visit!!! read more

We went for a late dinner yesterday, food tasted old, my daughter and I ordered super burritos, very bland, over cooked ground beef, cold rice, dry dry dry chicken, which tasted like it was originally made for another dish, much earlier in the day. My son had the California burrito and the meat "steak" was mushy, it was not edible. Iced tea even tasted old! The only good food was the salsa. Definitely not worth the price we paid! Would not go back. read more

Yet again, Maya comes thru. Got my parents turned onto it now. If you live in the Berea, Strongsville, Middleburg Hts area you absolutely have to eat here. read more

Worst experience at a Mexican restaurant ever. Cold underwhelming food, small portions for high prices, no toilet paper in the bathroom, rude waiter, loud rude customers around us with uncontrolled kids. We drove up for the cinco de mayo festival but since the rain was so bad we decided to just go to a restaurant. Big mistake. I can't believe this place has such great reviews. This was awful. I wouldn't let my worst enemy eat here. read more

Came here last night with the girls! Can't believe I've never been to this Mecca of comfort Mexican food. This is your typical Mexican joint, big portions really quick. Seriously, we ordered and within 5 minutes we had our meals! I split the fajitas grande (fajitas for two) and it was way more then enough to split. We even took a ton home. The meat in the fajita was really Good, it came with shrimp, beef, chicken, and chorizo. I liked the variety, would totally get it again. Everyone else liked their meals too! Bottom line: cheapy Mexican and flowing margs, check it out! read more

Very good service (as usual for a Mexican restaurant). Salsa and chips were good---nice tomato-y salsa. So points for that. The bean burrito was AWESOME. Cheese enchilada was okay. Their beans have a more robust flavor than most Mex places, thus why I loved them. Good stuff. read more

Hmmm...prices were way more than fair for the quantity of food served but nothing in my fajita dinner was out of the ordinary. In fact, my chicken was dry and overdone although it still had a nice spicy seasoning coating the thin meat strips. The beans were standard refried with a less than generous sprinkling of cheese on top and the guac was watery. Our server was also less than enthused to be waiting on us and did not perk up until we got up to pay at the front (which no one explained to us so we sat there for quite some time before we figured out no one was coming to get our credit cards from the table). The redeeming factor for Maya's was my margarita was pretty good and priced right. So if you are looking for standard issue mexican food and are not too fussy on preprartion techniques - this place will fit the bill. read more

I have eaten here several times. While it is just pretty typical Mexican fare, it is consistent and the service is usually good. I had lunch here today with a good friend. I got the Fajita Quesadilla lunch. It is a quesadilla, rice, and lettuce and tomatoes. There was a dollop of sour cream on top of the salad portion, equaling maybe a teaspoon. I ask my server to please bring a bit more. What's a quesadilla without sour cream to top it? She brings me a small dish. We kind of laughed because it was way more than I expected. We laughed because it was feast or famine. Wasn't laughing when I got the bill. I was charged $1.25 for it! I think if there was going to be a charge, I should have been told. I complained when we were paying on the way out, and the cashier could have cared less. She agreed that I should have been told, but never offered to credit it or to let me speak to a Mgr. Sorry Maya, you just lost a customer because that just wasn't right. With a quesadilla, you should give enough to complement it and if you are going to charge for something, let the customer know. Bad business!! read more

Good, cheap food. Super-quick and friendly service. I had the El Cancun Fajitas and couldn't finish 1/2 my plate.

Was in town and craving Mexican food. Thanks fellow yelpers - this place was great, service was great - just wish I lived closer. I would be a regular. Make sure and treat yourself to a Margarita - they were super delicious! read more

This place was just okay. The chips and salsa were fresh and delicious. I had the steak and shrimp fajitas, but they were kind of bland, nothing to write home about. read more

Carlos and his team are top notch. This was a pleasant surprise to find some good Mexi food in Cleveland.

Every time we walk into Maya we are greeted with a high five & smile from Carlos. I love that the servers already know what we want and how we want our food prepared. Best Salsa this side of the Mississippi! read more

This is getting to be a once a week place. Comfort food. Fast & Friendly service.

Seriously delicious. I LOVE maya! I can never get enough! If I had to eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be maya. Their rice is to die for! So so good. Don't walk, RUN there. Amazing! read more

Thought the food was above average. Nothing special for a Mexican spot. Service could be better but they were not awful

This place is my favorite local Mexican joint and I'm lucky enough to live close by. They are fast, the food and drinks are delicious and more than reasonably priced. The service is top notch and the place is usually packed but they are very efficient and I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. They also have online ordering for take out. read more

This is a great tex-mex place. The food is good and the margaritas are tasty. The only thing missing from there menu is a happy hour.

Really good food and fast service. Dinner for two with desert and a beer only 27. Will be back next time I am in town.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! fast, friendly service, and the food is great! The chile relleno is the only one in the area that i smade this way- with ground beef, PERFECT! (that I have found!) I highly recommend this place! been going there for years, only gets better! Buen Provecho! read more
