What people say
Mexican restaurants are known for their bold and flavorful dishes that are rooted in tradition but also incorporate contemporary tastes. Maya NYC, located in the Upper East Side neighborhood of New York City, is a perfect example of this. Chef Richard Sandoval has carefully crafted a menu that blends the earthy yet complex flavors of his native Mexico with worldly ingredients and creative cooking techniques to create modern Mexican cuisine.
Maya's hospitality is warm and Latin, making it the perfect place to linger over drinks and rediscover Mexican classics like fresh guacamole, tacos with fresh-made tortillas, and authentic fillings. The Chef's signature dishes are also not to be missed.
One unique aspect of Maya is Tequileria Maya's Tequila Bar, which is inspired by neighborhood tequilerias in Mexico where lively conversation is shared over bottles and small plates. Guests can sip on their collection of spirits slowly as the locals would or enjoy them in hand-muddled cocktails.
Overall, Maya NYC offers a dining experience that combines traditional Mexican flavors with contemporary twists in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're looking for dinner, happy hour, or bottomless brunch on the weekends, Maya is sure to impress.
