Great little place. They made some custom changes to their prefix menu to accommodate some dietary restrictions I currently have due to a recent surgery. They came up with some creative solutions. If you want small, intimate and romantic, this is your place! A little pricey, but a great indulgence.

Maya Del Sol has absolutely become our most favorite restaurant. The food is interesting, delicious and always piping hot. The servers understand the need to be GF and know the menu well in that regard and I’m grateful that in addition to knowing the GF details alert the kitchen on my behalf. I love that there are different price points from $30 entrees to many options in the $20’s. All of the wait staff and bussers are friendly and attentive. They always check back in after the food has been served!
