casa maya

i love everything here. would eat here everyday if i could. yummy.

my husband and i were there for lunch and we had the guacamole appetizer and the fish tacos and shrimp tacos. awesome food, great service. will be back many times

closed on tuesdays. i always come here for lunch when ever i am in st augustine. nice place.

great place, better food!. such a great restaurant. a must if you love authentic mexican. great family run place. love it!

they're closed on tuesdays. so don't read all the tasty reviews, get all pumped, then have to settle for pizza. :) we're going back today for take two!

i'll start with this... i ate there 4 times in 3 days. enough said?! i'm a native floridian and see my share of bad food in touristy towns... i just happened upon this little restaurant as it was near my hotel. i travel quite a bit and eat out just as much. i love flavor (why else eat?), appreciate good service, eat organic, often eat vegetarian meals and want someone to want to prepare my food with care. at casa maya - i was able to have all of this and more! everything from the oj, to the tomatillo sauce, salsa, spices, corn tortillas, hot habenero sauce and seafood was fresh, fresh, fresh! i've heard the owners came from mexico to start this business... thus authentic mexican flavor (not your typical $.99 taco joint, thank god!). mad props to energetic jennifer and david - my friendly servers who greeted me, the solo traveler, with a smile everytime i walked through the door. you can tell these folks are family. i work in the jacksonville area on occassion and would make special effort to return to casa maya for good food and friends, along with a sunset over the old city of st augustine (best view walkiing over bridge of lions or at porpoise point - vilano bch)! parking lot across the street and only two blocks from water.

amazing food, awful service!. i have been to casa maya multiple times and have never had any complaints. food is always fantastic and service has always been good up until this last time that myself and 5 others went for lunch. first, we waited what seemed like hours for them to take our drink order. then after we waited for another long period of time, it took more time for them to take our food orders and it was not even busy. then, my friend ordered a pork sandwich that came with avocado's which is fine, except for the fact that he is allergic to avocado's and the description of what he ordered did not say that avocado's were in there, so my friend politely asked our server if he could get a sandwich minus the avocado due to his allergic reaction and our server was completely indifferent about it and coped an attitude. throughout our visit at the casa maya today, our server seemed completely agitated and not very helpful. then, at the end when it came time to pay, our server never asked if we wanted the whole check together or separate, so he brought 6 people 1 huge bill, that needed to be separated, then he became aggravated about splitting the bill and stated he could not remember who had what and shrugged his shoulders at the group. the service was so bad, that we are debating going back even though the food really is good!. its ashame about the bad service and that it was our friend's first time there, and i recommended this place..

not your ordinary mexican food. the steak tacos were great'

love it. one of the top-5 restaurants in st. augustine. the food is unique and the soups are delicious!!!!

hot sauce!. i just got a cuban and a beer and the cuban was good...but the most memorable thing was the hot sauce! its homemade and awesome so i bought a bottle. i would like to go back when i have more time, as the service was slow. i hear good things about the queso though...

my oh maya!. absolutely fell in love with this place! so far in the last month, i've visited twice.. yep, that good!
on my first visit i was driving back from jacksonville and decided to spend the afternoon in historic st.augustine. on a whim we walked into casa maya, a small place, with a lot of character. we ended up finding a tiny table by the entrance and although the room was tight it was well worth it! i had the queso fundido w. spinach & mushroom & the veggie wrap served w/ a side of chips! very fresh and flavorful, highly affordable!
a few weeks later i was raving on and on about it & took a drive with a friend, we arrived a tad too late for the lunch and was told they reopened at 5:30pm for dinner, why the hell not, right? (mind you, i hadn't had a single bite to eat!)
when 5:30 finally rolled around, i ran.. not walked to the restaurant, i got to admit, the service was not up to par as it was last time. we waited sometime to get a menu, our order was taken, but not promptly delivered. sadly my wrap wasn't there so i ordered the mayan soup & the veggie empanada for appetizers. the soup was the first to come out, as the restaurant slowly got packed.. about 20mins later our server walked by and apologized for the wait and explained the veggie empanadas were made from scratch and took longer to prepare, a little warning would've been nice! i felt bad, because i had raved about the place, and our service was so slow.. the soup was amazing! the empanadas.. eh.. hardly any veggies in it as much as cheese and the dough was not your traditional spanish dough but more of a flaky/dessert dough.
my friend had the fish for her entree and as for me, i had the veggie burrito. her fish was a tad salty, but all and all very flavorful & mine veggie was so tasty there was hardly a memory of that thing on my plate! i will definately be back, although i won't arrive starving as i did!

amazing flavor. very small restaurant with amazing food. we ordered the queso fundido with chicken. the seasoning was just amazing. very rich. fish tacos were just as good. i would steal the salsa recipe if i could. our new favorite restaurant in st. augustine.

casa maya. the service was great, even though it was one guy during a semi-busy lunch hour. food was absolutely awesome. blue-corn chips and salsa are a must as far as appetizers go, and the mahi tacos and cuban sandwich are good choices. ask for the habanero sauce if you want a little extra kick. i plan on returning to this restaurant pretty much every time i come back to st. augustine, which will be often. only con i can think of is that it is a little cramped so not really good for big groups, but that's part of its charm.

good food. but, not many tables and slow turnover.
