Reviews Summary

Maya Restaurant is praised for its authentic Yucatecan cuisine and outstanding margaritas, complemented by attentive and friendly service. While some find the food consistently delicious and the prices reasonable, a few diners have experienced less flavorful dishes and found certain items disappointing. The restaurant is a popular local spot with a casual and comfortable atmosphere.

"This place is the epitome of a diamond in the rough. Sonoma, while a tourist town, still holds onto its small town vibe. Its mom and pop shops line the streets, the atmosphere is one of community and everyone knows everyone. Here sits a restaurant, that is so unpretentious on the outside, but delivers on the taste, service, and comfort,

We ventured here for a family members birthday who not only grew up in Sonoma, but is an ex employee. I can say, nothing was a disappointment.

The chips and salsa comes with both a red and green salsa. Both are delicious, but the green is just outstanding. So much so, we got containers of it to go. The pepitas are scrumptious with just enough spice to make you enjoy,

For the entrees, I had the “el steak”, which is hanger steak on a bed of veggies and a sauce. First off, they cooked the steak perfectly. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, clearly fresh and a perfect melding with the sauce. Second, I never thought how potatoes could accompany a Mexican style dish, but wow, I was impressed.

Others had the mole chicken enchiladas, which I tasted and were great. Their beans and rice… wow! The spaghetti, which just doesn’t sound right at all Mexican themed place, was delightful. And lastly the shrimp enchiladas I’m told were great (I don’t like seafood).

The service was absolutely impeccable and the atmosphere was on point. When visiting Sonoma, don’t miss out on this gem and enjoy an amazing meal!

Oh and one last thing, the margaritas… oh yes please! They are amazing!!"

Craig Beck

"We stumbled upon the place as we visited Sonoma valley. The atmosphere is good and the staff is very nice. The best part of our meals were the margaritas. They were strong and flavorful.
We got the chips and guac which were nice along with the two salsa. The pork burrito was definitely big and tasted pretty good. The chicken enchilada whole great did make my partner feel a bit unwell after.
But over all a great place to stumble upon."

"Review for Maya Restaurant

From the moment the tortilla chips and salsa hit my taste buds, I knew what kind of experience was coming. The chips were bland, and the two salsas, red and green, were equally flavorless. Hoping to switch things up, I tried the guacamole, but it was disappointing as well. I ordered the “Giant Burrito,” which the menu claims is too big to just be called a burrito. Let me tell you, there was nothing giant about it except its giant disappointment in flavor.

After a six-hour drive with nothing to eat all day, this place was a letdown. I’m only giving two stars instead of one because, despite the blandness, the food was at least edible (maybe because I was starving), and the staff was friendly."
