First of of like to point it what I saw from another review, that when we asked about seating they told us about a 45 minute wait, so we went on the app and joined the walk up wait list which said it would 35 minutes and then went towards the quick service area and we figured if we got hungry, we would just get something there. 5 minutes later we get a text that our table was ready and had to start walking back to the restaurant and then were taken to our table and the restaurant was half empty so they had plenty of seats and there was no need for the theatrics of the wait, they just do it to seem like it’s somewhere people want to go and eat so you make a reservation in the future.
The atmosphere is nice and very will decorated and they had someone playing live music on a guitar. Our server was also very polite and she even remembered to bring my drink without over where most places forget that. She even noticed I needed a refill before I asked and they even have the better quality recyclable draws rather than the paper ones Disney had everywhere that you end up eating with your drink. My wife even liked trying the flight of margarita she ordered (although she only really finished one of them)
Unfortunately that’s where the good stuff to mention about the restaurant stop. I always tend to watch if they will bring you water when you sit down as that is generally a sign of a good restaurant. Here they did not. The food was meh, nothing I’d recommend to anyone. Nothing bad, just not worth it, especially since they are quite pricey. From the appetizers all the way to the dessert, nothing worth ordering again.
I think the quick service had better quality food and is a cheaper option. I’d probably do that unless you really want the sit down experience. Not a place to go back to.

I tried Maya Grill for the first time because I heard it was a great spot for gluten free people. It did not disappoint! Almost the entire menu can be made gluten free if you just communicate with your server. Pricy, but we expected that. Two meals and an appetizer was about $84 after my annual pass discount and gratuity. Great atmosphere with live Disney instrumental guitar music.
The chips with queso dip and chipotle salsa was terrific. I had the chicken enchiladas that included corn tortillas and were yummy. My boyfriend had a steak quesadilla that he said was delicious and could easily be made gluten free if you ask for a corn tortilla.
Take a stroll around the lake before and/or after your meal.

I had the pleasure of eating from the Maya Grill on a recent visit to Disney Coronado Beach Resort.
I decided to eat from the appetizer menu. My choices were the mexican street corn and the chicken flautas.
The street corn was good however the chicken flautas were absolutely amazing. The chicken was so tender and seasoned to perfection.
My order was to go so I did not have the opportunity to enjoy the facilities but I would definitely recommend based on my food experience l.

The food was great. The service was slow and a bit disjointed. There was a solo guitarist who was excellent.

Maya Grill has such a cozy feel with beautiful yet bold decor. Ambiance level is really high. The food was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. It was just a nice bonus to have live music as well. I would come back to Maya Grill located in the Coronado Springs resort. Up for some Mexican cuisine? Stop on in.

Wonderful live music and fantastic food. I highly recommend the meals for two (Maya Grill Parrillada) – more than enough to satisfy the hungry appetite. You can be sure that we’ll be coming back.

Forgive me Father, for I have found better Esquites.
Listen, I need to start with a confession: the enchiladas here are better than my mom’s, and the esquites beat my abuelita’s. Que Dios me perdone y que no me jalen de las patas! The esquites have that real-deal chile, and I’m picky, I usually choose my own chiles and even then they aren’t always this bomb. To wash it down, the margarita flight absolutely hit. I don’t consider myself a light drinker, but those did the trick! 10/10 table service and the chef seriously deserves a forehead kiss for this meal. I’ll be back!

The food was excellent although expensive. The waitress was very good at her job and made the experience amazing. We loved the live music! He was amazing as well. Very talented.

Maya Grill is an interesting spot in several ways. The cuisine is Mexican to be sure, but probably nothing much resembling your favorite neighborhood Mexican joint. There are some Tex-Mex aspects with the fajitas and enchiladas for example, but the flavors are more varied and on the whole more Mex-Mex I would say. The guard at the entrance shack (Maya is at Disney’s Coronado Springs resort) recommended the enchiladas and did so like a person who had enjoyed that entree many times. We went a different direction with our ordering but I mentioned that because if the enchiladas sound good to you I’d bet they are a really good choice. We started with the Beef Birria Machete. Really unusual…and delicious. Kind of a cross between a birria taco and a tamale. We then split the steak fajitas. Asked for the steak medium rare and it was nicely prepared and good quality. Beans and rice were both tasty. We enjoyed margaritas as well, and the live music (guitar player with a backing track) was an eclectic mix of Disney show tunes, Jimmy Buffett and who knows what honestly. Ambience overall is a strong suit here as the interior design and vibe, along with much of the staff, could definitely have you believing you’re actually in Mexico! Pleasant and efficient service. For dessert we had the choco-flan to go. Very good. This was our first visit but I’m sure we’ll be back for more before too long. Maybe those enchiladas!

This was a roller coaster.
Delicious food, great service, and wonderful ambiance.
It was near perfect until it went bad.
The food was delicious, however, it gave us both a stomach bug.
The service was great, until we waited nearly 20 mins to order desert and then again to receive it.
The ambiance was nice, until the place filled up and then went really hot and stuffy. We took turns to step out to the cool air during our meal.
We will not be back.
