Abby Anderson Jones

The set up is a lot like Qudoba,you order and base product and as you move down the line , you add variations . They also have a salsa bar , guys, with like 8 different kinds of salsa !!!

Sam Molter

My favorite burrito spot in Minneapolis. You can get classic or American style . My fave is the cochinita pibil burrito .They have a salsa bar with a ton of varieties.

Kristen A

A larger menu and table service are offered in the bar area...that is where you can find this delicious enchilada dish.

City Pages

Maya is rumored to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities area! Their barbacoa is among the best in town , and their menu is huge! Check them out next time you're in Northeast! Read more

In the front you order fast food or takeout , and the back has a sit down and the bar . You can walk back to the bar and order if you sit up front. I'd do that. Great tortillas for the tacos .

Shawn

Just down the street from two other stellar Mexican eateries on Central. If want a burrito go here. Solid, solid burrito is all I can say. Did I mention it was good?

Brad

The Maya Burrito was a thing of beauty. Never had a chile relleno as the main burrito filling. There are plenty of great Mexican restaurants nearby, but this just became the go to.

Heavy Table

Of all the meats on the menu, the cochinito pibil is especially good, and is slow-cooked for three to four hours with Serrano and guajillo peppers , avocado leaves, and cinnamon . Read more

Get the Maya burrito (that's the one with a chile relleno inside) and add a protein. The carne asada is highly recommended.

Get the rajas poblanas tamale . As good as anything I had in Honduras! Supplement with a barbacoa taco : tortillas are made fresh all day.

Mark McCahon

Had the Mexican plate. Pretty good value . Food was taste. Atmosphere was nice. Very nice experience!

Paul Wichser

Tacos Al Pastor has a spicy sweet pineapple shot I'll be dreaming of for weeks. Careful of the Styrofoam: they'll use only foil if you ask nicely.

Michaela Burns

Come here instead of chipotle! Support a local business and enjoy a more authentic , more delicious burrito

Christopher Schout

Take out in front, seating in back. Very different food and service but both delicious!

Jerod Petersen

Jalapeño margarita is the best! Also get the tamales you won’t be disappointed!!

Nathan Stohlmann

The huaraches are quite good. Look for the brunch buffet on Sunday for a change from the usual.

Michael Merhar

The Sunday Brunch Buffet is Amazing! 9AM-3PM $12. Try everything and then have a pile of bacon .

Liz R.

I can't get the poblano and cheese tamales out of my head! They reheat well the next day too!

Daniel Moraes

Looking for something delicious that will fill you up? Torta Cubana! Also everything in the menu rocks!

Mark Sherman

Unhelpful tip: it's all great. I've never had a bad meal hear.

Nick

Maya Plate. Try a taco and a tamale . You can add your own salsa and toppings at the salsa bar .

Lane Pelovsky

Incredible tacos with delicious flavor!

Glenn Lindgren

Nicely decorated hole in the wall , but nobody comes here for the decor. Good basic Mexican food :tacos , tamales , and a killer quesadilla .

Micah Spieler

Al Pastor tacos . Or a hot dog torta sandwhich . Or a burrito bowl with a deep fried shell.

Diversity InfoResources

Tortillas made on-the-spot, amazingly helpful service , oodles of salsas ... all good!

William Hanson

Chile rellendo burrito & the salsa bar !

Tacos are great but the tamales are AMAZING.

Try the Maya Burrito : it's a chile relleno ... in a burrito !
