One of the classic Mexican spots in Birmingham. They have the scrumptious thin, white cheese dip. I had the steak fajitas and thought the price was fantastic. Normally an order of fajitas is over $20, but it was closer to $16/17 here. I had a prickly pear margarita that was pretty dang good. I will say, service seemed to take a while. A couple of my friends barely got their drinks before our food arrived. This place was hoppin' on a Friday night, though. Definitely family friendly. read more

Maya is a regular part of my lunch rotation. Always great experience and I have liked every dish I have tried. Pretty typical Americanized Mexican restaurant but it is worth a visit if you are in the area and need to get your Mexican fix for Taco Tuesday. read more

Soup is an excellent choice. The rest of the food was lacking on one delivery order and pretty good the other time. Maybe the one delivery that wasn't great was just a bad day. read more

The food here is always on point. Unfortunately, today our server wasn't so great. We sat for twenty minutes after we finished eating, while he stood at the bar with the other gentleman working there. When he did come, he only laid the ticket down. He didn't ask if we needed anything. I had to ask for a take out container. I also ordered the steak fajita nachos and got chicken. It's a very family friendly restaurant. There were a few families there with their smaller children. read more

We were staying at a nearby hotel as a halfway point on our vacation to Florida and came here for dinner on a whim. With 2 small kids we value somewhere quick and easy. When I tell you we have NEVER been somewhere so QUICK we were amazed! Our food came out in maybe 3 minutes, and it was 10/10 delicious. All of the staff were extremely friendly, and the prices were cheaper than our Mexican restaurants at home. We would DEFINITELY come back here. read more

I personally wouldn't return. The drinks come in large glasses, but they tasted extra sugary/no liquor. The food was salty. I thought it was odd that my partner and I ordered a quesadilla and a burrito but neither came wrapped as a burrito or quesadilla but instead a large taco. The customer service was sub par, bare minimum... all things considered, we did come on a Friday evening. read more

Maya Mexican Restaurant is my favorite restaurant ever in Birmingham! Me and my friends go there all the time. The staff is so sweet and awesome. They always recognize us and treat us so well! The food is always so delicious. I get the grilled chicken tacos with lettuce and cheese. The chicken is cooked perfectly and I love the simplicity of the tacos. I also get hot sauce on the side and sometimes rice and beans. Me and my friends get a queso for the table to enjoy with our chips. And sometimes we get the margarita special for the week which are always so good! The prices are very affordable and the ambience is very comforting. I highly recommending eat at Maya! read more

I want to start by saying we were a larger party but we came in during a slower time (2-4). Service was slow we would ask for things and then the server would be off giving drinks to other tables. I ordered a jumbo margarita peach flavored and it was clearly lime flavored you can tell by even looking at the color, which is fine but when the ticket came and I still had margarita left I asked about the price difference between the peach and house and the waitress needed to grab the manager and the manager told me they make the margaritas from scratch with frozen peaches and he watched them make it for me and that mine is peach lol long story short, he wasn't willing to change the price. A person in party paid cash and was shorted change and when she asked for the receipt they couldn't find it at first? Food was decent though! read more

Maya has lots of wallet friendly lunch specials to enjoy, one of my favorites being the chicken chimichanga. This time I decided to try something different and went for a steak burrito, which came with rice and beans. The steak was cooked well and the veggies inside had a nice crunch. The spinach dip was super cheesy so I'd avoid ordering that and queso dip at the same time. I love a margarita and this one didn't disappoint, it had a nice strawberry flavor. Service was quick and friendly, making this an easy lunch away of the office. read more

We went out as a group to celebrate the end of the semester and this was a great place to do it! All of our margaritas were delicious (and not overly expensive)! We enjoyed all of our dishes and had no complaints about food. The space can be loud with lots of people, but you can still talk without yelling at each other. The service was good, but it was annoying that one person had to wait an extra 5-10 minutes for their food to come out so it made it awkward for the rest of us to either eat or wait. Plus the server forgot the tortillas for 3 of our meals and we had nearly finished the food by the time he brought them. If the service had been better then it would have been 5 stars. Still worth checking out if you are looking for mainstream Mexican food and some good drinks! read more

This place was hoppin' on our Sunday through the area, with teens to seniors, which is always a great sign...and it held to the reviews and hopes. The food was quick, hot, and dang delicious. Add to it that lunch specials worked on the weekend too, and it was an added bonus that it was borderline inexpensive. My ribeye tacos with rice and beans were uner $10 and my companion had a chicken/rice/cheese plate for the same. The ambience was simple and cute with flags and Christmas lights hanging fro the ceiling and the room was just a vibe of chatting and happy. The service was a little slow on the upswing, but they were slammed and made up for it once the server could get to us - zero complaints given here. Having had some struggles with decent mexican in Birmingham, I will gladly go back on our next tri through! Oh, definitely 2 points for a clean bathroom too! read more

We love this place! The staff is polite, the service is fast, and the food is great. The best margaritas in town.

Good food, good price. We stopped on our way home from vacation. Our service was very quick.

The only reason I returned to Maya is because my friend wanted to go here again. I had remembered it being horrible but couldn't remember why as it had been 2 years ago when I ate here for the first time. Never ever again. Cheese dip. Guac no flavor- taco salad with beef - nit much flavor but the beef had a strange taste. Salsa tasted like canned tomato sauce. Nothing was good! Nothing! Will not ever ever go again! read more

Stopped in for lunch while driving through Birmingham. Located near 65S, the restaurant is in a strip mall with a decent amount of parking out front. We walked into a busy time during service, with nearly every table full, creating a high energy level. Colorful Mexican flags hung from the ceiling, along with plenty of Christmas lights. Lunch was plentiful & served quickly despite the level of busy. Everything tasted as expected & our server was great! read more

The meal I ordered didn't come out as described on the menu. More like a simplified version of it. The tacos were supposed to have corn tortillas and be served with lettuce, cheese, and pico. The food was tasty, but not what I had expected. The margarita was fine as well. This is a cheap, quick place to grab some average Mexican. I don't expect much else from this location. read more

A great place for (not extremely authentic) mexican food! The prices are extremely reasonable, the food is good, but not mind blowing. What WAS mind blowing, however, was this margarita the size of my head. My partner and I split a medium and were thoroughly impressed with the size and quality of the drink. 10/10 would recommend their margs for the price, size, and booziness! read more

Food makes me throw up every time that's 3 times in a row now. Service is good but I just can't eat the food. The ambiance is good but will not be coming back again. read more

We came in as a party of 4. We arrived at 5:45pm, and we didn't get greeted until 6:03. We had to witness two tables get greeted before us. When the server finally came, there was no apology for the wait. He made it seem like us wanting water and specialty drinks was an inconvenience to him. We got our drinks before our water and we had to ask 3 times for that. When our food came, it was decent. I would say the Strawberry Margaritas was good, but the service was very distasteful. read more

Great place!!! Typical Mexican ambiance, Christmas lights on ceiling, flags, decor. It is on shopping strip (next to ACE so plenty of parking). Maya's was packed with kids, families, college kids and elders. Food was delicious! I had steak fajitas and had to take half of my plate home it was such a large portion! and really authentic tasting!! Both the frozen and on the rocks house margaritas were perfect! My daughter had the burrito and we joked that it was the size of a small infant! She said it tasted delicious with the rice, vegetables, meat packed inside. Our server, Tori, greeted us as soon as we sat down with chips and salsa and was prompt in getting our order and serving our food even though they were really busy! So glad yelp suggested this place with great reviews! Our family also highly recommends Maya's!! Can't wait to go again!! read more

After an amazing massage I decided to stop here, since I was in the area. I was last here like 2 years ago for a YELP event and I enjoyed everything. I ordered the same thing ... El Jaguar burrito with chicken. I didn't love the chicken as much as I loved the steak from my prev visit. My meal was fresh and the rice and beans were yummy! Staff is always friendly here. I had a peach frozen margarita to wash my food down. I got a brain freeze or two. I'm ok now though! Maya Mexican is a solid Mexican restaurant. Check'em out! read more

All I've to say is that you know you're at the right place when the Mexican restaurant uses Corona bottles as salt and black pepper dispensers. Our new go-to place for Mexican! (Wish I would have gotten photos of the food but other Yelp reviews seem to do a relatively good job of that) read more

The food was delicious and the service was great. My grandsons loved the tacos and the cheeseburger. The wait was not long and everyone seemed to be having fun, the place was very lively. I'm not sure if the decorations were just for Cinco de Mayo, but the place was colorful and festive. The adult beverages did not disappoint. We will be back. read more

Good priced Mexican food. The food is good. Customer service is quick, the atmosphere is as expected. However the booth seats sink deeply. I wasn't expecting that. read more

Got the steak fajitas to-go. All in all a decent meal, but I think dining in would have caused me to like it more. Good ingredients and cooked well, just nothing really stood out. There's something about munching on endless chips and salsa in a Mexican restaurant while waiting for the beef and peppers to come out sizzling on an iron skillet. . . Unfortunately, the quarantine didn't allow for that to happen. But it did allow for me to check this place out through a to-go order. I'd come back to experience what I should have experienced. read more

Maya Mexican Restaurant - Steak fajitas - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

First time back since our 2018 Yelp Holiday Party. This evening was one of those beef and cheese type evenings. Decided to stop by and enjoy a nice drink and meal. They had coconut as the featured flavor for their Happy Hour margarita. I enjoyed it frozen and I definitely could taste the coconut. My server helped me decide on my entree of a beef chimichanga with a side of rice and beans. They did not skimp on the beef. The food arrived at the right temperature and I didn't have to wait long after ordering. I could have easily made this into two meals but didn't know how well it would reheat. Nice seasoning to the beef and I topped it off with the salsa that came with the chips. My taste for beef and cheese was satisfied. read more

In the Birmingham, Alabama area on business and I stumbled across here and after a quick check on Yelp and its positive reviews, I decided here was for dinner. As I pulled in the parking lot, I found it moderately busy. I was quickly seated and they placed before me a decent salsa and chips. Scanning the menu, I saw a few options, but when the server, Marco, recommended the poblano burrito, I went with it and added a chicken enchilada (hey, go big or go home). So, the food was brought out pretty quickly. Tearing into the chicken enchilada, for a moment, I wish I went with Marco's recommendation of the enchilada. But let us not diminish the quality of the poblano burrito. This was excellent. So both together added up to an extraordinary meal. I want to finalize this review with an accolade to Marco. I believe he chose his recommendations due to what he liked and not the price point. His recommendations were not the higher cost items, but items that after trying, I would return here. Good servers are hard to find. What I found here was a great server. read more
