2nd incomplete order in a row when ordered from Door Dash. The Restaurant refuses to take responsibilitynfor their error. Twice in a row indicates a problem. I will not order from them again. read more

Mayas is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Poplar Bluff. It's a hot mess of weird decor, friendly staff, large happy crowds and cheap margaritas, complete with some super tasty food options, priced very reasonably. Their cheese dip is a trap though! read more

Online says they're open until 10 pm Sunday evening. Arrived at 20 minutes before 9pm. We were told they closed at 9 and were no longer serving customers. We told them online it says they're open until 10. Response - "Yeah." Wouldn't it be smart for someone to change that instead of frustrating people! read more

My rice was way over cooked. My waitress was very rude and didn't serve properly. My napkins was thrown at me.

Shits ass. There was a hair in my food and a big leaf in my girlfriend's food and it was not edible. The food was nasty too.

This is hands down some of the most authentic Mexican in a 200 mile radius Attention to food detail shows!!! Probably the best Mexican rice north of the Red River read more

Maya's Mexican Restaurant - Carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Poplar Bluff, Missouri

My favorite Mexican Restaurant! Staff is always nice & attentive. I rate all others against Maya's. Drinks are superb also!

Don't go here anymore. This place is done. bad service. I was embarrassed for them after seeing what they served me.

Went here for the first time with my partner and his grandmother. The food was actually very good. Then half way through our meal a cockroach crawled across our table. Needless to say we lost our appetite. Still we didn't make a big deal about it, we went up to the counter to pay. We let the little girl they have working up front what happened and she couldn't have cared less. We didn't ask to have free food or anything. We would have just liked to see some concern for the roach problem. That's why I'm writing this. If the employees think it's no big deal then I can only imagine how much worse it is in the kitchen. read more

Maya's Mexican Restaurant - Live Cockroach on our table - Mexican Near Me - Poplar Bluff, Missouri

Normally I don't do this kind of stuff but I was super disappointed and I've never had an experience like this. I wanted Mexican food like normally. We get there and the table we are sat at isn't even clean. Super gross and had a napkin in the floor with food on it. We decided to move to the table behind us and that table wasn't much clean either. Then we go to order a drink and there was a bug floating in it. The manager gave us another drink which is fine. Then my husband who wanted a burrito and instructed exactly how he wanted it. The manager comes to the table and makes sure that's how he wanted it. After bringing the burrito out all the vegetables are on the outside instead of the inside. After this I was highly upset and so was my husband. I know I will never go back to this restaurant only because 1/3 things wasn't handled right. read more

SOOOOOooo GOOOOOooooDD The service is AMAZING. The food is so good. If you go I would definitely recommend the Enchiladas. Everyone is so friendly. I have been going since I was little and most of the waiters and waitresses either are friends with me or at least know me. I definitely recommend it. read more

Stopped in to have dinner yesterday evening the hostess sat us in a corner we ordered our food and everything was fine until the ceiling started leaking on top of a speaker over our table and splattering all over us. We tried not to cause a scene and just simply switched tables and let our waitress know. She called the manager over to alert her of the issue and fix the check since our food had been contaminated. Maria the "manager" (keep in mind she never introduced herself I had to ask the waitress what her name was) came to our table and we told her how the ceiling was leaking all over us and our food and instead of apologizing she stated the seat we moved to is also going to leak water. If you're aware of the issue why are you sitting people there especially when it rains? Why not discuss it with the owners and avoid seating that area until there's a permanent fix? She never introduced herself never apologized never corrected a bill in fact she told our waitress she wasn't adjusting the check whatsoever. She continuously walked by us laughing we paid the check and went somewhere else for dinner. Shes lucky I even paid for food that we didn't get to eat. Do not eat at this establishment when it rains. The manager is a joke she acts like a petty child and has no business managing anything. read more

Disgusting unseasoned chicken and cold refried beans. I got really sick after. I won't return and neither will any of the others in my party. One member found hair in their foods. And the avocado slices were moldy. The waitstaff made the situation worse to be honest she was the worst server I've ever had read more

Our family enjoys going here. The service is friendly and you can reach a PokeStop while enjoying your food. We often go here during one of our many Pokemon Go family outings. I have also been here with a VERY large group from the college. They did a great job getting our food and keeping everything taken care of. read more

The food that we ate was okay but we saw bugs. There were roaches in there and we stopped eating and left. We were so grossed out and the lady working just wanted to know if we just wanted to move tables. She didn't even kill the roach. Definitely not eating here again. read more

An okay place for happy hour in the neighborhood but wouldn't go out of my way to come here. It is a plus that the HH runs until 9, hard to beat that. Unfortunately, the drink prices and the food is pretty mediocre and the place has no vibe. $8 happy hour margarita was super sweet and I felt like I got instant diabetes after a couple of sips. The squash blossom quesadilla is really an empanada and cold in the middle at that. The bland, saccharine sauce it came with did it no favors. I think my BF's Corona was $6, not exactly a deal. Guacamole was okay but not on special and a steep $15 for the small-ish portion. We asked for medium spicy and they added no spice. The bartender was super nice and gave us a complimentary shot of house tequila as we were leaving. read more

Stopped by here while visiting family in the area. The fajitas were great. The guacamole and salsa hit the spot and were exceptional. Service was good and the staff was friendly. Will come again when we visit again. read more

Maya's Mexican Restaurant - Food was ok - Mexican Near Me - Poplar Bluff, Missouri

Great experience at Maya's. food was delicious and service was excellent. no problem eating here as a vegan.

We went to Maya's Friday night 3/22/19, it was not busy. The food was the worst I have had eating out in a long time. If I had know it was going to be so bad we could have eaten at Taco Bell and had a lot better service and food. 2 adults and one kid. Each eating different things. All were described a flavorless. Even the cheese dip was bland and cold when delivered. Will not be recommending to anyone!! Will not be returning!! read more

Went to Maya's with my girlfriend and our daughters. Great menu, fresh ingredients, excellent service!! Also the atmosphere was colorful and clean. The portions were plentiful and the recipes superb. read more

Maya's Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Poplar Bluff, Missouri

See all

This place has the decor of a classic Mexican-American restaurant, but sadly, the food was bad. The chile relleno was passable, except for the sauce, which looked liked ketchup and tasted like tomato paste. The tamale and enchilada were ... just wrong. The serving size was generous, which would normally be good, if the food was also good. The soft drink flavor was off, as if it needed a filtering system for the water. The service was prompt and friendly and my drink was kept full. The bill was presented right as the meal was finished. read more

Some places just seem timeless, even though subtle changes have occurred, they just feel like a stationary anchor in our hectic lives. Mayas Mexican Restaurant embodies that feeling for me. I can remember a time before Mayas when Clear 94 occupied the rundown building on the hill. Even then Mayas seemed to have been predestined for that residence. I've celebrated countless birthdays and anniversaries, attended numerous meetings, had dates and deserts all at their tables. I'm not saying all this to invoke loss at some failure on their part, but to congratulate them on establishing themselves as a staple within the community. With our busy schedule it's actually been a while since we took the time to dine at their tables, but tonight we decided to slow down and enjoy the evening with our family. I was suprised and pleased at some of their latest changes. The first of which is their tortilla chip upgrade, these lighter, crisper chip really make the difference. Secondly, they have started to go back to their roots and make sure all of their food is seasoned and cooked to perfection. We ordered the Molcajette which was absolutely amazing, to the point that I was using the tortillas to dip the gravy out of the bottom. That along with the Nacho Mayas and their queso dip made for a wonderfully full evening. Unfortunately I didn't leave room for desert as I have cravings for their fried cheesecake. Not everything was perfect but it was another evening that I was able to spend with family and that smooths out the rough spots. If you get a minute, stop in, slow down and spend some time making a few memories. read more

This is the worst Mexican place in town. It is the closest to where I work so a few times I have braved it. Years and years ago our whole softball team got food poisoning here. But that was years and I mean years ago so you let go and try again. I always call in my order and give them a time usually 1 hour away from the time I call that I want to pick it up. I usually order Chile rellano and rice and beans it is a different price every time I order it and guess what? It is never ready when I get their despite me calling and hour+ ahead of time. Their chips are stale and the salsa is watery I usually give those back and say I don't need them. Now the real show stopper the chile rellano tastes like the freezer you can literally taste how freezer burnt they are. I give up on them. Enter at your own risk. read more

Traveled all the way from Brownsville, Texas to get some good Mexican food. Good service, large portions, fair prices

This place has no idea what good Mexican food is. I've lived in Houston, TX for over a decade and can tell you that this place wouldn't cut it. The chefs idea of Fajita's is an embarrassment. Frankly, he shouldn't be allowed in a kitchen. Horrible food. I won't be going back. As bad as this may sound, I can get better food at Taco Bell. That's how truly awful it was. read more

I have eaten at Maya's on many occasions and have always been satisfied with the food no matter what I try. My faves are Maya's Chicken Salad and Fajita's Nachos. Everything on the menu tastes good. Their service is great and you will see lots of smiling faces. I can't really comment on how close it is to authentic Mexican because I have never been to Mexico, but the quality and taste is great. read more

A Mexican restaurant that doesn't have Jarritos (Mexican soda) is bad in my book. It simply doesn't do it for me. The food was okay & not foodgasmic. The fajitas were a bit bland. Where's the freaking kick? I would like to have some kick to it (a tiny tiny bit). That goes the same for the guacamole. No kick to it at all! The salsa was a bit spicy for me & was fresh. That's the only good thing I can say. Service was fast. Maybe I am ignorant on the subject of the traditional Mexican homes, but this place made it feel like a traditional Mexican home to me. The bright colors really gave this place some light & a happy feel to it. But, please if a restaurant wants a homey feel to it, it needs to serve Jarritos! Seriously! read more

Very good place for Mexican. Killer Carne Asada tacos. Cheese dip was good too! Ask for Kristen as your waitress. She rocks and did a great job! read more

Love it! We eat here a few times eat month and this is the first place we recommend to those coming in from out of town. The food is always delicious and service is excellent! I agree with the other reviewer that said to try the guacamole, it's so good! The only thing I don't like about the place is it being packed on the weekends, it gets a bit noisy. read more

I have never been disappointed with the quality of good food at Maya's. Not only did I think the food was great but the service was awesome. Very friendly and prompt service. read more

IF you like bland ground beef loosely wrapped in a corn tortilla, with tomato sauce dumped over it, served lukewarm with no cheese on top, then you will LOVE the enchiladas at Mayas. Served with barely pink, nearly flavorless "Mexican" rice and beans that might be better f they were from the Rosarita can by the waiter who obviously has better things to do then check on your table after he serves this mess- You are going to want to speak to the manager on the way out the door. When you do talk to the manager, instead of apologizing or trying to make something better, he will give you the incredulous look, shake his head, roll his eyes and repeat that he does not understand. "We've been selling enchiladas all day" he'll say. It's amateur night all around the clock at Mayas, and I'm aghast and astonished at all of these other people who are giving good reviews. read more

I wanted to like this place. I really did. My cousin kept telling us how good it was, and I was excited to go there. I'm from Southern California, and I've been to Mexico, so I have a good handle on what good Mexican food is. Unfortunately this is not good Mexican food. It wasn't disgusting, but it wasn't really what I would call good either. It was honestly a very strange interpretation of Mexican cuisine. The beans and rice were fine, but the meat in the enchilada I got was pretty strange. It was like a beef paste substance. It was super fine ground beef (I hope) that was unlike anything I've ever had. The sauce is just one step up from canned tomato sauce. This may work for people in Poplar Bluff, they may have different tastes and enjoy this type of food, and I mean no insult in saying that. If that's the case, then Maya's keep doing what you are doing. However this wouldn't work anywhere where quality Mexican food exists. I highly doubt the staff even enjoys this food. I was just left scratching my head, and if I had to sum it up in one word, "strange" would be it. Sorry Maya's, nothing personal. read more

Pleasant greeting at door which is a plus. Service SUCKED just like the food. Food had no flavor and are server not once came back to see how the food was, but made his rounds to the other patrons to check on them. Check was never brought so we had to walk up and speak to manager to get bill. They took 1/2 the bill off which was nice, but most of the food was left on plates. The server came back with manager with a what did I do or what happened. Long story short NO BUENO and will not go back read more

One of our favorite places to eat. Always a pleasure dining there. Great people and great food.
