"Maya Mexican Restaurant in Wilmington is a charming spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. We were greeted right away in Spanish, which my wife speaks fluently (I’m still learning), and we were seated promptly. The chips and salsa were fantastic, with just the right amount of heat in the salsa. My wife and I both ordered tortas: I had the carnitas torta, and she chose the carne asada torta. The carnitas were prepared differently from what I'm used to on the East Coast—fried and slightly drier—but still very delicious. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. 5/5!"

"Food: 1/5 Soggy, too much sauce, a hint of soured rice, dry fish, and unappetizing presentation. All for the grand total of $30. See for yourself in the photos... Not worthy of the asking price, as I 'm sure you 'd agree, too. Service: 2/5 While my rating my seem unfair for the servers whom had worked that day. It still reflects overall quality of service I 'd received. Visited this establishement on Sunday 6/16/2024. I 'd arrived at the restaurant around 6:30pm, placed my order in by 6:40pm. Food didn 't come out until 7:29pm exactly. Between this time, my server had checked on me twice. Once to bring me my salad. Second time when I had ordered a beer around 7:05pm... just to kill some time. Between that and the arrival of food, no one came by to check on me. Even when my beer glass/can was empty. Because of the terrible delays in bringing what I 'd ordered, I feel they were trying to avoid eye contact... or any interaction for that matter. Also, my server didn 't understand what ginger was. I don 't blame the server, however, I do blame the owner/head waitress whom seems to the owner/operator of the restaurant for not training the server with the basics. Almost forgot to mention, when I ordered aforementioned beer, I had asked for a Sapporo. When I asked for a second one, the same server had brought me a Sapporo Black instead... and ensuring me that it 's the same one I 'd ordered previously. What? Atmosphere: 2/5 Some people may say, Hey, the restaurant was probably really busy. Thus, why they had brought out your late. Well, you see. I had taken a picture of the dining area. See for yourself and tell me how FULL the restaurant is. Mind you, most of these people still sitting were on their way out. By the time I got done with my plate of food, there were only 2 tables plus the same people on the sushi bar. The decor is old. Unorganized. And the space is restrictive. My chair was a bit too low compared to the table. But I guess that is all subjective. They do offer a Happy Hour for drinks, but it 's only good until 6:30pm. Overall, while I wasn 't execting a great experience, but I 'd sure hoped it would be good enough for me to visit regularly as it is the only sushi place near where I live temporarily. But after spending $50+ for a dinner, I 'm more than disappointed to say that I would not be back at this establishment again. PS. Don 't be surprised to see they ask for minimum 20% on tips when you pay with credit card."

"Food here was surprisingly very good. The fried plantain chips were crunchy and similar to a thick kettle chip crispy. The salad was mostly iceberg lettuce but the sauce and accompanying ingredients made a refreshing dish. The salmon, a fish very easily overcooked, was delightfully tender without being raw. The side of asparagus could be charred a little less. Mashed potatoes have a hidden spiciness to them! The beer soaked brown sugar drunken ribeye steak was pretty good overall, however they didn't ask how we wanted it cooked. When asked, they said they cook a tender pink medium steak but did not take a request to make it medium rare. Strangely while most of the steak was a tender medium consistency, a smaller side portion was closer to a better medium rare to rare consistency. The cheesecake was pretty good overall. The warm chocolate cake was a bit dry on the sides but delicately smooth like pudding. The desserts had a contrasting tart sauce that overpowered the cheesecake just a little bit."

"Everything was okay place is small and cramped. Latte just tasted like a regular coffee I could buy at a corner deli but cost way more. The guy that made the latte was nice. I ordered The Works bagel but it wasn’t a bagel but a sandwich ? No bathroom and when I asked several times, the people that worked there just said “outside” but I walked outside after waiting for my food and there was nothing. There was also no room to sit so I walked home instead to eat. I don’t know, I did not feel that the experience, and the latte and food I ordered was all worth $21 "

"love the atmosphere, our waitress was brilliant and the food was delicious. my nabeby and I have steak and vulture. He has haash-browns and I've been in the house. he asked for his steak rare it was medium rare. I asked about medium rare and it was a bit closer to well done. but still quite delicious! it was really packed, but our waitress had a lot of time for us. They had a colored book and a chronic for our three-year-old son, with whom we waited for our food. the bathroom was quite clean, but there was no change for our 7 month old."

"I always thought this was a tiny Mexican restaurant and felt like an idiot to discover it's American-style cuisine with a bar and outdoor patio. The food and service are excellent and quite literally the coolest place is the bar area. This local staple has been here 28 years and owned by the same person. The only thing they don't have is breakfast. Jeanette is the treasure here, although all the employees seemed cool, despite many being younger. They have wine and spirits, but my focus was the six taps of local craft brew from Discretion, Coronado, Corralito's and North Coast Pacific. Corralito's is far up in the hills behind Aptos and I never get up there, but fortunately they get kegs every week. The Richter Red Ale is excellent. It's nice you can sit in the bar and have lunch easily and without a reservation or huge rush. The pastrami sandwich was excellent and I'd expect everything here to be good from the other patrons food I saw. They have a happy hour from 3-5PM where drinks are $2 off, but really the only negative is everything is pricey and it can be occasionally difficult to park if it's busy. I think $9 for beer is quixotic but they have excellent food and service, plus it's a relaxing ambience that also can be cordoned off for groups. The closest thing to Mexican food they have is the Taco Salad btw...in case you wondered. I expected to get an enchilada plate or taquitos and had no idea how wrong I'd been for years driving by. This is also a good place to eat if your going to visit Discretion Brewing in the same parking lot. If that's not good enough, you can buy weed, furniture and mattresses next door as well as a Safeway, Best Buy and Home Depot across the street. So, the location is convenient for doing errands after or meeting folks, being right off PCH. They have parking spots in the front for takeaway orders, with the rest of us using the carpark behind the restaurant. In case you wondered, this was a restaurant 28 years ago before Cafe Cruz, but before that, it was originally a private residence, hence the intensive repurposing you observe today. There's one other small house which survives today in the carpark and the defunct breakfast/lunch place behind Cafe Cruz is slated to open as something similar as Cafe Opal was, with breakfast and lunch only. If Cafe Cruz had breakfast, I don't think any restaurants would ever survive behind them. Cafe Cruz reminds me a little of a favorite family-owned chain in Los Angeles called Hof's Huts (now defunct) but had a very similar model, with a bakery and all-day breakfast being the difference. Anyway, if you can, sit in the bar if Jeanette's working. She knows all the restaurants history and is cool."

"I have been here many times but this time this got balls head with glasses was very rude. My fries looks old and I ordered chicken dinner. I asked if they can just charge me for the chicken and not the fries because I don’t like how they look. He replied who should pay for them, I’m not changing the price. You just trying to get something free. So a lady came over and asked what happened I told her she said well he’s probably just frustrated because they been getting complaints a few times today or people not picking up their food. I would sell those all day there’s nothing wrong with them. Maybe to you buti don’t like them full order still on the plate. I said well he shouldn’t be arguing with his customers she replied unfortunately we argue with them a lot. I said that’s not ok. You judged talking want something free. If that’s the case I would have complained snot the whole plate not just fries. People don’t want to pay for the food. Are You kidding me I’m paying for the chicken just don’t want the fries. But, with that being said you don’t talk to people like that. So You gone talk to me bad cause your day messed up. No not acceptable at all!!"

"We started with a round of drinks. I opted for a classic margarita with salt, while my husband had a beer. For appetizers, we ordered quite a few dishes. The chicken flautas were delicious, and the jalapeño poppers stuffed with chicken and cheese were a highlight as well. The wings were decent, but let’s be honest—who goes to a Tex-Mex restaurant for wings, right?! We then moved on to the ceviche, which was incredibly fresh. We requested extra limes and serrano peppers because we love it spicy. Next, we had the steak quesadilla filled with peppers and onions. It was hearty, packed with flavorful, tender steak, and just the right amount of cheese to hold it all together. My son even had leftovers from this dish! I couldn't resist trying the watermelon mojito, and I must say it was the best mojito I've tasted in a long time. It’s a must-try! For my main course, I ordered the salmon, which came with a creamy cilantro and lime rice. I’m not sure if that’s the exact description on the menu, but you could definitely taste the cilantro and lime, and I loved it! We enjoyed a few more drinks, and as time passed, more families arrived. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with the food and service. We’ll definitely be back soon, especially since I heard they’re starting Latin Night on the first Saturday of August, which has me very excited!"

"Staff very helpful and friendly on the phone when I was placing my order, equally as pleasant when I walked in! Service was expedient: order was being bagged as I approached the counter. Great place to patronize for either dine-in or carryout, in my opinion! I will be back to dine-in!"

"The cashier at this restaurant was quite rude to customers. I placed my receipt on the counter and politely asked her if my order had been called, but she gave me an extremely disdainful look and shrugged her shoulders in response. I was simply seeking an update, and there were only two other customers waiting. I don't understand why she couldn't take a moment to check. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you're prepared for poor treatment akin to that of Jabba the Hutt."

"The patio is heated, cozy and has a nice atmosphere- very laid back. The server was friendly. The bathrooms were disgusting (no changing table for a baby, toilets dirty, sink counter moldy). Also, it's in the basement- so narrow and creepy. The dining room area looked nice. The food was really heavy and just okay. The spinach dip was very green looking. I think it's because they use canned spinach. The crostini bread is definitely not enough pieces, and if you ask for more, they'll charge you $2!! The bread and dip was very salty. The burger was too heavy and sloppy. The Mac n cheese for kids was good. It doesn't come with any sides."

"Ordered the grouper dinner, food came out not even luke warm. Mentioned it to the server and she apologized and took it back to the kitchen to heat it up 3 min later our waitress came to check on us I told her what happened and she went back to check on it. She came back a minute later with a plate asked me to try that it was also not hot and it was the wrong food she brought out blackened fish instead which I'm assuming was someone else's. She then apologized and came back a minute later with my plate of fish which at this point was dry and still not very hot. I ate a few bites and couldn't eat it. She came back and asked how it was and I told her it wasn't great and I'd like my bill. I wouldn't normally post a review but I don't feel this was handled properly. I've been to other Caddys and have had wonderful service and food but this one missed the mark big time! We won't be back to this one."
