A quick out of town food stop, but the carnitas are super authentic. Tasty too. Next time I'm around, I'll stop in again to review further.

Excellent food and customer service!!! When you come here, you are NOT rushed, your food selection does NOT arrive 3 minutes after you place your order. You CAN stay awhile and enjoy the food, the atmosphere and your friends.

I stop into La Casa Maya quite often because of its great menu and tap beer. They always have good chips and salsa and everything I've ever had on the menu is outstanding. I dine alone occasionally, and I sit at the bar and get great service. I recommend La Casa Maya.
