We love Maya Mezcal and this was our third visit. The drinks are creative and always stellar. The food is so delicious, too, consistent quality and very friendly staff. Maya Mezcal is now one of our go-tos when we're looking for a night out.

This restaurant should not be listed on Open Table. Using Open Table I assume some level of quality. Quality was certainly missing. We were seated by the manager who took our drink orders. When twenty minutes later they had not yet been served, I signaled to the manager who was on the phone. It turned out that he had not placed the order. That was just the beginning of a horrible evening. The drinks were the worst I have ever had and the food left much to be desired, as well. The check was inordinately high. I would never go there again and you shouldn’t either.

Extremely poor experience - was directed to small table with child-sized stools, and told all other tables (many of which were empty) were reserved. Ended up sitting at bar. Service proceeded to be sporadic/bad. No plan on ever returning.

The portion sizes could have been larger for appetizers, as sharing was difficult. Not cheap ($15) for a small dish of guacamole and chips. The quest was very difficult to eat, as it hardened when it cooled. I’d recommend more for the cocktail options than the food.
