" I've been coming to El Maya for years and it never disappoints. Their pork carnitas is always on point, and I love the homemade tortillas. The atmosphere is lively but can get a little crowded on weekends. Service can vary; last time we had to wait a bit for drinks, but it didn't ruin my experience! Highly recommended. " (*Curated Review*)

" Average experience! The guacamole couldn't satiate my craving, and the ambiance seemed lacking. I hope they work on improving the flavors in the dish. I did like the friendly staff, but overall, I left feeling unsatisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" The margaritas were a hit, and we tried the fajitas which were sizzling and delicious. The staff is very accommodating, and the ambiance is casual yet welcoming. I especially loved how they serve fresh chips and salsa right upon seating! I'll be bringing my friends here again! " (*Curated Review*)
