" What a delightful experience! The front-of-house staff was welcoming and efficient. We enjoyed a selection of appetizers, and the tuna tataki was extraordinary. The cocktails were inventive and refreshing; I loved the lavender margarita! The waiter made the evening feel special with his impeccable service. I can’t wait to come back and make it a regular stop in my Charleston adventures! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent time at Maya. The food didn't blow me away, but the drinks were great. I had the avocado tostada as an appetizer, and it was refreshing but average. The staff was accommodating, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I expected a little more spice and depth in the flavors, but it was a nice meal overall. I might give it another shot for their tacos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maya is an incredible dining experience! The food was unforgettable—the flavors just popped! I ordered the red snapper tacos, and they were expertly crafted with tons of fresh veggies. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming. Our server was attentive, ensuring we were happy throughout the meal. This has become my new go-to in Charleston, and I can’t wait to introduce my friends to this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my time at Maya, especially during their happy hour! The food was very good and I particularly loved the queso dip and the ceviche. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, which made for a lovely dining experience. The seating area had a charming vibe that made us stay longer. Perfect for date night or catching up with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you're in downtown Charleston! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how much I loved my experience at Maya. The atmosphere was fun, and our server was knowledgeable about all the menu items! Their elote is the best I've ever tasted, and the tacos were full of flavor. I even noticed that they have vegan options, which is a plus for my friends! The prices were reasonable for such quality food. I will definitely be back soon! " (*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*)
