We met here for my sons birthday because he was in a hurry and didn't have much time between practice and heading to a concert. We ordered immediately and or food was brought out promptly. I am not sure when their happy hour begins and ends but we wanted the birria tacos and they had them on a happy hour special 3 for $13 so we ordered two sets, the cone with dipping sauce and pickled onions on the side. We also ordered 2 wet burritos, one with carne asada and one with pollo and a side of black beans and rice for the table. Apparently, they have options of either Pinto beans, black beans or refried beans which is nice. She brought out churros on the house due to my son celebrating his birthday which I thought was very nice. This is good place to go if you need a hearty meal and don't have time to wait at a formal restaurant.

If you're looking for Mexican food and cocktails, this is the spot. High energy vibes, vibrant interior, outdoor seating, and pleasant service. The horchata was just what we needed, huaraches were not bad, and this pozole had the meatiest hunks of succulent pork I've ever had at a restaurant. The esquite was plentiful and delicious, sweet, salty, tangy, and creamy. So great to finally see a restaurant take the corner of the former El Toro Bravo. The menu is expansive, we will be back to try their other options.

Salt. Do you like your food overly salted? Because this place SALTS their food. It was edible but definitely not for people who have high blood pressure. I left feeling very thirsty, and was thirty throughout the day. I think the food would've been great if they didn't over salt the dishes. I wouldn't go back.

On an unsually mild July Saturday evening with temperature in high 70s, we ventured a little further into downtown to finally check out Maya's since our go-to Mexican place in Davis was crowded with no seating in sight. Maya's fresh-painted pink exterior is visually attractive and will spike the curiosity of any passerby. The interior is modern cantina style, with several tables scatter throughout the room, but most of the seating is outside on the patio. The ordering is at the counter and food brought to the table, with alchol options available. Maya's menu is extensive and though the focus is on seafood items, there is something for everyone. Chips and salsa bar are added bonus. I ordered the wet burrito with red sauce and carne asada. The sauce was thick, almost like an enchilada sauces with a dash of smoky mole. The meat was of good quality and grilled right and the presentation with garnish represantable. I would definetly order it again. The rest of the party went with tacos, the omni-present quesabirria and carnitas being the meat choices. The consensus was that it was all pretty good, though it won't make us change from our go-to as the number 1 option for Mexican in Davis. However, if it's busy over there we know where to go next...

The food was amazing! So glad I tried it. Have no idea how long it's been there- maybe I noticed now that it's PINK! Walk up and order and too many great choices. I love flautas so tried that and a Michelada! So good! And the rest of my family got the 2 crispy tacos-1 Birria and one shredded chicken, salsa and chips were also awesome and must try the white salsa! So exciting something different and awesome. Everyone loved their meal- can't wait to go again! We had a very pleasant outdoor table- not too hot or anything. Decor, vibe and staff were all festive and thoughtful. Great service! Food coming out timing was good too!

Came here on a Tuesday for dinner and sat outside. The food was good! We got the chicken mole plate and a regular burrito with carne asada. The chicken mole was tasty and a good amount of food. The regular burrito was also good, I only wish some of the ingredients had been better distributed. It came cut in half and I thought they forgot the beans because there were no beans in the first half I ate. But overall the flavor was really good! They also have chips and salsas which were tasty too. I would return or recommend to a friend.

The food is really good and it is actually authentic Mexican food. We got the street tacos, carnitas plate, and quesabirria tacos. We did wait about 10-20 minutes for the food but it wasn't bad. They offer free water and a sauce bar you can freely grab sauces and chips. It wasn't packed and they were blasting classic and modern Spanish songs.

When you walk in you will probably get overwhelmed with how big the menu is. I love that they have many menu items to choose from. The cashier was very friendly. I ordered chicken enchiladas and I loved it. Thought the presentation was beautiful. I really loved the beans. I can't remember if I liked the rice or not so if I don't remember then it was probably okay BUT I really loved their beans. I did not eat the side salad or whatever it was. Washed it down with a pina jarrito. I need to come back another day to try out some other menu items. So far so good. I ate outside with my boyfriend. Will definitely come back.

I've been wanting to try this plate for a while now so here I am. I came in and I ordered the Carne Asada Plate and it was delicious. The food came out pretty fast and I really like their sauce station. The food also came out pretty fast. The restaurant is also nicely decorated. I'm glad that I have a good go to Mexican spot in Davis now. Try it out if you like. :)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the decor of this place. The interior set up feels a little cramped but maybe we can call it "cozy". I love that they have sidewalk seating options and we sat at the bar at the windows. We ordered some tacos and chicharrones. The meat was good and tasty. And the chicharrones were VERY GOOD. I was left with some questions though... why lemons and not limes? Why no jalapenos on the side for my taco? Why sooooooo much guacamole for the amount of chicharrones? I felt like for what we ordered it was a bit pricey for the size of the tacos and the price could be managed better for the chicharrones if there wasn't so much avocado used. Salsa bar - can we label these - I try my best to not take more than I need but when I don't know how spicy something is or what some is it's likely to be wasted. I must say - the chips were GREAT!!! I would still come back and try more on the menu. I hope they will have some good specials or deals here especially since this is so close to the university- students are on a budget. (But really aren't we all?) I'm game for a round 2 Maya's. Even to just enjoy the chips and salsa bar and the art work. I also want to find a reason to bring friends for a bucket of beers. Until we meet again.

Maya is a very solid choice for Mexican food in Davis. The menu offers a huge range of your favorite Mexican foods - and that includes soups too! The restaurant is relatively small with it looking bigger on the outside than it is on the inside. It was a little confining to sit inside, but there are a couple tables for larger groups who visit the restaurant. Thankfully there is plenty of outdoor seating, including a fun little outdoor spot that faces the sidewalk so you can people watch to your heart's content. In terms of food, I found Maya to be mostly hits with a few things that didn't resonate. On the good side, I found that the flavors are right up in front. All the dishes were very flavorful and of top quality. The chili relleno I had there was aamzing. Paired with rice and beans it was a joy to eat. Another awesomething thing at Maya is that they offer up complimentary chips and salsa. The chips are hearty and there are many flavors of salsa to select from. My only gripe regarding some of the food is that a few of the items were a bit too much on the smokey side for me. The elote that I had was very strong in that department. I also would have liked the flautas to be lighter than the way they make them. The outside of the flautas were similar to that of the house chips they had. In terms of service I found Maya to be great. There were friendly staff all around and even though it is a counter-order restaurant, servers were around checking up on me and my needs, which was appreciated!

The youngest member of the family was craving churros and we learned that Maya's had some (granted, they warned us ahead of time that those weren't made in house). We decided to check out the place for lunch and were quite happy with our the meal. Street tacos with cabeza were great. Fried potato tacos also delicious. Kids' burrito delicious as well. Sopes were okay. Service was courteous (even if the sopes took a while to arrive). Bathroom decor as well as the decor throughout and outside of the building are fun. All in all we were quite pleased with our outing and sent our complements to the chefs. We will be back.

A beautiful place with tasty drinks and delicious food! Service is friendly and fast. I placed the order and took a few pictures and boom food is here, fresh and hot~ I got a Passion fruit margarita and taco plate. The passion fruit margarita is so good! It's deliciously tart and sweet but not too sweet! It's veryyyy strong, they did not skimp on the good stuff, strong but still taste very good. For my two taco combo plate, I got grilled chicken. The chicken is tender and soft and well seasoned. The tortilla is soft and everything just works so well together. I didn't have room for dessert this time but will come back to try that! The place is in the heart of downtown, so parking might be a little tricky. But honestly it's not bad parking just a little further, cuz the food is really worth it!
