    Best brunch value, bottomless food and drinks for around $60 before tips, and trust me you’re going to want to tip. Our server Fernanda was awesome, we had everything, we drank everything, the whole staff was amazing. Rebecca who wasn’t our server also made a point to make it special for my girlfriend and I. Good luck getting anything done after. It’s nap inducing.

    I started patronizing Maya 15-20 years ago as it served high Mexican cuisine; not your run-of-the-mill NYC Mexican fare. Today, the experience was akin to patronizing an Irish Bar in a 3 rate college town. Extremely loud music, average Mexican food and full of screaming 20 somethings. If that is your crowd, that's your restaurant. But if you're looking for high Mexican cuisine, top quality food, and a place where you can talk to your party rather than scream at each other, in my opinion, Maya is no longer the place. I'm sad to say. Like many NYC restaurants, it's succumbed to generic averageness to stay afloat.
