Maya Cafe

Tried Casa Maya for the first time while on a search for tacos. We were so pleasantly surprised. Got a warm welcome from server, and the place feels cozy and cheerful. The tacos didn't disappoint. They were fresh and tasty. I also ordered an enchilada to try one for taste. It was delicious! A dark red sauce full of flavor covered the enchilada, and the meat filling was seasoned very well. We also had ordered cups of shrimp soup and we were brought the larger bowls served with rice, and avocado. I am also a fan of their salsa and thin chips. The salsa was thick and full of flavor with just a bit of spice. The chips were hot and fresh. We found our new go to Mexican restaurant!

The food is fine. The service was attentive and nice. The best reason to eat here is the chips, the salsa, and the cheese dip. The rest of the food was fine but not particularly memorable. ADDED: The cook on the shrimp in the Ranchero Jalisco was way above expectations and that dish as a whole was better than any of the dishes from our first visit.

Let me ask.... Is there anything about this place that's not outstanding? This was my Fourth visit over lunch. Each wonderful. I have difficulty with overpriced food(and I love it)... except for the Maya. The seasoning was perfect, my shrimp was the best in town and the servers were patient(we had an unannounced party of 12) and our food was delivered to our table quickly and hot when it arrived. My advice is for you to go to the Cafe Maya and go soon!

We got dinner here last Saturday night before a show next door at the Focal Point. It is an authentic Mexican joint, down to the chefs, servers and bartenders. The menu is extensive and you can have your choice of delicious Mexican treats. The salsa and chips are among the best I have had at a Mexican restaurant in St. Louis. The service was good and the food was excellent. I had the Seafood Ranchero and my wife had the Shrimp Taco Salad. Highly recommend!

Great portion sizes, great atmosphere, always amazing service! The food is incredible and the red sangria is a must try if you're in the mood! Meant to review Casa Maya when it first opened and I finally got to try it, but completely spaced because I kept going back! Cannot express how much of a wonderful addition this is to Maplewood!
