I think it's pretty good! The line was short but people were ordering a lot of items so I'm definitely curious. They have a lot of options, a combo of Chipotle and Dos Toros but no farro. My first order: brown rice, peppers and onions, pinto beans, spicy chicken, corn, pickled onions, tortilla chips, white cheese, lime, cilantro with hot spicy mama sauce. Pretty spicy (7/10) and overall more flavorful than Chipotle (per a Chipotle fan). Can't wait to try the tacos!
Stopped in here on a whim today, and I am so glad I did! Tried the birria steak tacos, which they kindly gave me fresh hot sauce for free of charge. It comes with a small side of the broth/stew, also, which was nice—even though the meat itself was really perfectly savory and tender, it just elevated it beyond 🤌🏼 I also got a slice of the tres leches cake—oh, man. Incredible. I will definitely make this place a very regular part of my rotation.
Maya Mexican Grill is a great new addition to the Upper East Side. They serve fresh, authentic Mexican food with generous portions. The space is warm and inviting, and the staff is very friendly. A solid spot for anyone craving real Mexican cuisine.
From the Apr 20, 2026 health inspection. Lower-priority items are listed after the serious ones.
Cooked food wasn't cooled down fast enough to be safe.
Clean utensils were stored where they could get dirty again.
Hot food was held below 140°F, cool enough for bacteria to grow.
