Maya's Restaurant has a huge variety of very tasty Mexican options, including a hefty mariscos (seafood) section. They also offer a number of combination plates (large and small) and the usual a la carte items. For the less-adventurous, they offer hamburgers, although I have no idea if they're any good. I prefer the chicken mole. Friends and family like to order the enchiladas, flautas, tacos, and vegetarian options. While you won't wait long for your meal, you will still eat more chips than are good for you because their tortilla chips are irrestistible. The waiters are great about refilling the baskets right away and bringing you more warm bean dip and homemade salsa when you're running low. There's a bar attached to the restaurant, so you can listen to the music that filters in and sip Mexican beers and margaritas while you wait. Despite the fact that the place appears to be half nightclub/bar, there are always many families with small children in the restaurant. They offer kids crayons and a kids' menu to color and order from. They have booths as well as an area to host slightly larger parties, although that area is a few steps up, on a raised section of the restaurant, if that's a concern for older or disabled family members. The decor is very vivid, all bright colors and multidimensional. We have a lot of fun entertaining ourselves with the wall art and painted (also, sometimes, carved) tables. This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in town even though it's a bit of a hike to get there.

This is the best place to go for quality good Mexican food. Very tastefull and reasonably priced. Beats any Mexican chain restaurant out there.

I recently ate at Maya's again after about 8 years of living out of the area. The food was as great as I remembered from my childhood. I love Mexican food and Maya's is the best in the city as far as I am concerned. It is also one of the few places offering a great vegetarian tamale (spinach). Located outside of the city, but definitely worth the drive.
