    I started patronizing Maya 15-20 years ago as it served high Mexican cuisine; not your run-of-the-mill NYC Mexican fare. Today, the experience was akin to patronizing an Irish Bar in a 3 rate college town. Extremely loud music, average Mexican food and full of screaming 20 somethings. If that is your crowd, that's your restaurant. But if you're looking for high Mexican cuisine, top quality food, and a place where you can talk to your party rather than scream at each other, in my opinion, Maya is no longer the place. I'm sad to say. Like many NYC restaurants, it's succumbed to generic averageness to stay afloat.

Our goal at Maya has always been to provide authentic Mexican cuisine combined with a vibrant and lively atmosphere.

    The food was great but portions were small for the price. Atmosphere was pleasant but could use an update. Decor was outdated and that is an important element in the dining out experience. Service was excellent.
