Fiesta Maya

Its awesome.
I am not a mexican. And i never ate mexican food. I went with my friend and i try it first time. I swear i really like it. And i wish i will go daily .

The Health Dept insurrection score is 85‰!! Beware!

Years ago I rated this place fairly well. Back then I enjoyed it a lot better. Today I was so disappointed and frustrated. Ordered the Fajitas Diablas and then had to wait 15 minutes before I received the tortillas. I tried to eat without tortillas but the meat was so salty I really needed the tortillas. By the time they arrived everything was cold. Only got 2 tortillas too which isn’t enough. I would expect 3 like most other restaurants. Bad service, good has gone downhill.

Great food and fast… Definitely not like chain Mexican food
A buck for sour cream is my only complaint

We visited this place a couple of times and it was nothing to write home about. On our last trip there our waiter had suggested that we try their signature margarita witch allegedly contained 6 shots of liquor. Both of us being very light drinkers could barley taste any liquor in it what so ever, for a drink that cost 17 $. We decided to ask our waiter to consult with the bartender about the issue. The bartender came to our table and copped and attitude with us saying «I know what’s in it, I made it!» Very arrogantly.
Of course they offered no compensation or explanation for the virgin drink. These people seem to be very untrustworthy so that was our last trip. Try Azteca, it’s less than 2 miles away and never disappoints. Just my two cents.

This was my first time in fiesta maya thought of trying Mexican food. It was very quite on Sunday 7:30pm when I went and only a couple of tables are filled. It’s a clean restaurant. The chips was not good as I expected (may be because I recently came from Texas). Reading the reviews I thought of trying hot sauce but I didn’t like it much. The server was punctual and our food was served in time. My Fajita was served hot and enough for me to take home and eat the next day. :). The taste of food was ok and that’s why 3 star but we enjoyed the nice and calm place.

My go to mexican spot for lunch. Location, location, location. This is your typical tex-​mex, it has that franchise menu you see all over the place.
The place is clean, the staff are friendly, and they have a loyalty program. I always come on tuesdays, I am one of those people who has my spot.

The food tasted microwaved. The salsa tasted like it was poured from a jar. Nothing really authentic tasting there. Service was good though

Fast, friendly service & plenty of delicious entrees! My husband and I stop in once or twice a week for their fabulous margaritas! Two thumbs up!

I wanted to give five stars but I couldn’t. Lack of consistency and stingy up-​charges are in the way.
The weekday lunch specials are always the same five items in the same sequence. Tuesday is enchiladas verdes. I ordered the special. I substitute rice for all beans on the side.
They charge too much for extras. Carry out costs and addition .30, that is 5% hike on the special. I wanted extra verde sauce on the enchiladas but they wanted another $ 1. That is over 16% price increase. Most other places will give you some extra cheese, sour cream, or sauce for free so long as it already comes with the entrée in some quantity.
I eat here every week and the quality differs greatly. Two weeks ago the chicken enchiladas had huge chunks of unseasoned chicken, this week is was orange with seasoning but very stringy.
I wish it was a bit more consistent and that they didn’t charge you for all the extras (carry out being one of those extras). They have coupons but you have to buy two drinks so in the end it is basically a coupon for free drinks. You will never save a dime on your entrees.

Killer food. Fast service. Fajitas are fantastic and house margaritas reasonably priced, delicious, and plenty of tequila.
I live right across the street and most certainly will keep coming back!

If you like authentic Mexican cuisine and not so much the Americanized type then Fiesta Maya is for you. This is arguably one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Charlotte Area. IMHO

Food is fine, margaritas are fine. No compaints here.

Best Mexican in this area! Wife and I got the el combo portion size was huge very nice quality though. The salsa especially the hot salsa is delicious. If you’re in the mood for Mexican then go check it out you’ll not be disappointed.

First time here for dinner tonight. Nice little place off Harris Blvd. The shame is that i have lived 2 blocks away for 5 years and just now tried it. It was really good. Wish I had tried it sooner.
I had the Maya combo. It was giant. The waiter should have warned me. Not complaining really. As i said it was really good. But it was so huge i was almost embarrassed to have it sitting in front of me all by myself. I took a big box of leftovers home. A great value in the end.

If I must say so myself, the margaritas are good, the fajitas were above average and the chips and salsa were decent.
Now I love Mexican places I can walk too and have a few margaritas and then walk home, but two medium house margaritas and chicken fajitas later my bill was 40 bucks. I would be better off get a cab and meeting friends closer to uncc or north lake where food is the same if not better and way better prices. Will try again in a few weeks, but I would advise going in with the knowledge it’s not your typical neighborhood mexican priced place.

Worst food I’ve EVER encountered in a restaurant in my entire life! The chips were stale and smelled like old oil! I immediately had a stomach ache and had to run to a drugstore for tums! We brought it to the attention of the waiter– they brought out more chips but same problem– they were frying the chips in very old oil! They reeked! All entrees were stale and not fresh. Plates were sooo unappetizing looking– not even plated nicely or with any garnish. My daughter and I had stomach aches for 3 days after. I would NEVER eat here again!

Outstanding! Great food, great service, great prices, and great atmosphere. We have been coming here since before the grand opening!

The cheese dip the chorizo is a must

They had me at the $ 4.99 margaritas!!! Do you really need me to write more???
Ok…Ok…I will… these margaritas were awesome! Not watered down, or full of sour mix but actually had a good amount of the good stuff… just like I like them!!! And for that price how can you say no???
The chips were hot and the salsa had a little bit of kick, chucks of tomatoes and seasoning and it tasted really fresh. Not the best salsa I’ve ever had at a Mexican joint… but it was pretty good… they bring it out in a small container and everyone gets their own bowl to enjoy!
I decided to try the Shrimp Fajitas and they came out sizzling!!! Can you say YUM!!! The seasoning on the shrimp was delicious… I could have taken more sour cream and guacamole, but the rice and beans were great!
With these reasonable prices, good food and strong drinks… its not doubt I’ll be back!
