My sister and I had dinner at Maya’s and the atmosphere was cozy, lively, the kind of spot you want to enjoy with friends. The food, though, was a bit hit or miss for us. The guac needed more salt and the chips were just okay. I wouldn’t order the seafood paella again, but the chicken enchiladas were delicious and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall still a nice evening, just not everything landed for us.

Visited for the second time, and once again, the food did not disappoint! Each dish was packed with flavor, the menu offers so many options, and the charming décor adds to the experience. Plus, the place has so much history. It’s a must-visit!

Come inside this place with an open mind. Thai-Latin Fusion. The highlights of our meal were the date/blue cheese guacamole and the “A Caballo” the tuna Tartar was also fantastic and tres leches cake was a nice finish to a wonderful meal. We will definitely be back.

Upscale Latin cuisine that doesn’t disappoint! Familiar dishes with a nice range of offerings. Several vegetarian indicated on the menu. I ordered the vegetarian quesadilla and sweet plantains. Both were as good as I would expect. The specialty margarita was fantastic. My dining mate got the seafood coconut soup that looked like a curry soup. I’m looking forward to returning to try the paella and the flaming dessert.
The overall vibe was great and the service is top notch. There was a little mix up with my order but it was fixed quickly and were very nice.

This is not your standard Latin restaurant!!! SO TASTY!!! They offer 4 kinds of fresh made guacamole. Delicious salad concoctions. A very crispy soft shell crab appetizer. Empanadas that are not from a freezer and one of the most amazing coconut soups I’ve ever put in my mouth… inexpensive, and freshly made. Chef owned.

Absolutely delicious food— highly recommend the sesame softshell crab and the Cuban skirt steak. Got the passionfruit ginger frozen margarita and now I fear I will crave one often this summer. Sweetest staff, great food, great drinks. A true gem of Magazine Street.

This place is so good! The menu has so many appetizing options! If you love Latin food, this is the spot. First and foremost, it’s a small eatery with friendly customer service.
The food is made hot and fresh to order, so be patient. The food is bursting with flavor. The appetizer was my favorite!! I ordered the seafood tostones. Now my dinner dish was the shrimp curry, which was good but the shrimp were a little over cooked.
Their drink options (non alcoholic) were limited as they were out of things.
Overall, I would 100% eat at Mayas again. Great owner and employees! Definitely worth a try if you are in the New Orleans Area!

Friendly service and amazing food. Waitress had to stop us from ordering too much because we had not imagined the portions were so huge. She was right. The food (calamari & soft-shell crab & paella) was so delicious that we managed to eat everything anyway. A must do in New Orleans!

Mayas didn’t disappointment, let’s begin there. The venue is stunning & the atmosphere was calm. The complementary chips & dip was really good. Appetizer: Seafood Tostones DELICIOUS! Wow. 10/10. Highly recommend. Frozen peach margarita was tasty. Entree; steak churrasco with fried egg & yuca fries. Steak was flavorful, but could’ve been more tender ( even as medium) My friend ordered the eggplant curry, delicious. I will definitely be returning. & lastly, service was lovely as well!

If I could make this 6 stars, I would. Let me start with the Mojitos. Some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The prices are very reasonable and the sugar cane stick made it authentic. The food was outstanding. Went for breakfast and got what you see pictured. I just don’t feel like writing it all out but they will know what you want. This is a must visit spot on Magazine.

Mojitos are still good with the stick of sugar cane. The curry has great flavor. And the service was outstanding.
