casa maya

if it opens!. i'm a local and i have many many times tried eating here and never know when it is open or closed! but the other day i finally got in and the food is pretty good. service is not thatgreatthough and the place is too small.

great spot for lunch withgreatoutdoor seating. carnita tacos were outstanding.
the highlight for me was the top shelf margarita- no sour mix.... just fresh lime, oj and agave served in a mason jar. perfect

a must try in st augustine!. i've eaten at casa maya several times now and each time it gets better and better! it's not your traditional mexican with chimichanga's, burritos, and taco's, but an authentic change of pace from the yucatan region of mexico with some very tasty dishes. to say what's good would take too long since everything is good, but i can tell you the mayan soup and the carne asada (skirt steak) are great! just when i thought their dinner was fabulolus i went there for breakfast and it was even better! if you are in the old town of st. augustine and want to have agreatdining experience, try casa maya...you can't go wrong!

expensive for things you could make at home.... we went here excited to try the food based on thegreatratings this restaurant has online, but we're extremely disappointed. they were out of things on the menu, and the service seemed very untrained. we received a wrong order, too. $13 for 3 very small tacos with no sides, and an $8 drink that tasted like water and tequila. it was a very disappointing lunch for a trip we were excited to take.

service was great! greatatmosphere but fajitas were surprisingly bland. fish entree was good. rather pricey for what we got. menu wasgreatand had a lot of choices.

food was expensive and so were the drinks. neither were very good. the bartender spent most of his time ignoring us, which is probably for the better, because he was rude when he actually had to talk to people.
in short, there are too manygreatplaces to eat and drink in st. augustine to waist your time here. you should go somewhere else.

need service training. this is agreatrestaurant with delicious food and drink menu. we have repeatedly had bad service the last 3 times we've dined there. i hope management fixes their floor staff's neglectful and inattentive service issues. it's imperative for the success of your reputation because word is spreading that you have poor customer service and its a deterrent to dining at this restaurant.

1st time great... 2nd time not!. i had been to casa maya before and had a wonderful experience, andgreatfood.
year later, they must be under different management. we were seated right away shockingly on a very busy night in town. it was clear once we sat down 2 separate tables were not happy with the service. we were sat outside where there are heaters... but we soon found out they had no propane for any of them. an hour wait later with only drinks from the bar (brought by the bus boy, not our waiter) and no water, we realized the heater across the patio was on heating no one. we asked to move to that table, had 5 minutes of heat... that heater went out. clearly the place was very short staffed and the management is not what it needs to be. when your staff members talk poorly about the management to the customers... it's a bad situation. food was good but i probably won't be going back unless things shape up.

had dinner with my friends and everything was amazing!! the food was delicious,greatservice and the margaritas. everything is fresh and withgreatflavor. i recommend this place if you are looking for delicious and authentic mexican food.

amazing food andgreatatmosphere. very friendly staff, the food is excellent, we ordered the chicken quesadilla, mushroom and maya soup and steak taco and it was all very yummy a+. just a warning the hot sauce is hhooott!!!

absolutely fabulous!! we eat here each time we come to st. augustine. it gets better each time. we loved the mayan soup, aztec pork, xaman-ha mahi, cafe con leche, tres leche and pecan pie. the service isgreatand the staff is so personable. we highly recommend restaurant as part of your st. auggie experience.

what a pleasant surprise! my wife and i were floored with the quality of the food at casa maya. we couldn't get a seat at out favorite french restaurant in town and started up the street. we had passed by this restaurant before figuring it to be another 'bad' mexican restaurant. but two couples out front waiting for a seat convinced us to give it a try. wow! what agreattip. i had the hangar steak with kind of a green chili sauce. grilled to perfection which is actually hard to do because of the thinness of a hangar steak. my wife had a chicken dish she raved about it. salads were fresh and vibrant. the guacamole was as good as my new mexican grandmother's. i was pleasingly shocked! there are only several restaurants we go to in saint augustine and this is now on our 'must' list. service was a bit slow, i admit, but the owner made his rounds and attended to our request immediately. it is a college town after all and i've noticed a low retention rate at many restaurants in saint augustine... it goes with the territory i suppose.

quaint relaxing atmosphere, friendly service, unique menu, fabulous fresh food. i am a vegetarian and had many manygreatoptions to choose from (that wasn't just salad).
