" An upscale experience with some great flavors! Their guacamole is smooth and fresh, paired perfectly with the chips. I was impressed with the attention to detail from the staff, who were always on hand to help. I ordered the conchita pibil - a perfect blend of spices! It was quite delightful. The location is great if you’re looking to unwind after a long day. I’ve already made plans to return with friends next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" Maya is a lovely restaurant, but I found the menu a bit limited. I tried their shrimp tacos and while they were tasty, they didn’t quite impress me compared to other Mexican places I have visited. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was laid-back, making it a pleasant place to chat over food. I'd give it another shot to try different items, but my first visit left me just a little underwhelmed. It's worth a visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Maya really stood out to me with its fusion menu and high-end take on Mexican food. We celebrated a special occasion there and were thrilled with how the flavors danced on our palates! The birria tacos were my personal favorite; they exceeded my expectations. Additionally, our server was attentive and professional. The place was a little noisy, but it added to the lively vibe. All in all, a great night! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are in Charleston, you have to visit Maya! The ambiance was incredible; a mix of cozy and chic. When we arrived, the staff was welcoming, and they made us feel special. I ordered the mole short ribs, which were tender and flavorful; they just melted in my mouth. We also tried the esquites and they were delicious. To top off the night, we shared a chocolate flan that was delightful. Every moment spent there was perfect and I cannot wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience for our anniversary dinner! Our table was beautifully decorated, and we were treated like royalty. I can't recommend the pork tacos enough - they were phenomenal! The service from our waiter was exceptional; he went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. The only downside was slightly high prices, but honestly, the quality of the food and experience justified it. Highly recommend for anyone celebrating a special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Maya was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and had a lovely table near the window. The margaritas were top-notch, unique blends that I haven't tasted anywhere else. I ordered the birria tacos, and wow, they were bursting with flavor! Each bite was tender and seasoned perfectly. Our server was very attentive and offered excellent recommendations. This place has quickly become my favorite spot in Charleston, and I'll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm not too sure about all the hype. The ambiance was nice, but I expected more from the food. The chilaquiles were a bit bland compared to others I’ve had and didn't feel authentic at all. The service, however, was attentive and made up for the underwhelming dish. If you’re not too picky about flavor and just want a nice atmosphere, this could still be a good choice. Try the margaritas; they were fantastic! On the fence about returning. " (*Curated Review*)
