This restaurant recently moved to this location. The atmosphere is WAY better, the service is still great, and I still love the food (Hawaiian quesadilla is my favorite).

This has been a favorite Mexican restaurant for several years. Now that they have moved off of south Duff Ave, the dining area is much bigger. La Casa Maya has always provided great service and a huge menu of Mexican food favorites. I would highly recommend La Casa Maya
