Bottomless everything is now 42$ a person but still worth the deal. The food literally didn't stop coming we had to ask them to stop! Amazing service and top notch margaritas, bloody marys and mimosas

The Maya Margarita is balanced artisanal tequila with tamarind, hint of chili. Fresh ceviche. Came here on the advice of a friend who said it was the best happy hour and bottomless brunch.

Bottomless brunch - went for a 30th birthday. Very crowded so be sure to book for exact # of guests, three extra ppl showed up and we had no room. French toast was amazing.

Great happy hour until 7pm, including $6 specialty margaritas and $6 glasses of wine. Extremely nice management and good ambiance is a winning combination

This is hands down the best brunch place ever. Pan Dulce is why I keep going to this place, the corn on the cob is magical, and the drinks are very well made. Margs are bottomless. Challenge accepted
Chad HornerApril 19, 2016
the default brunch option is an all-you-can-eat, bottomless brunch, which provides you with access to the entire food menu plus eight different cocktails.

Service is excellent! Food is very tasty and light. A little priced high but love the setting and that the they play Spanish music and servers speak Spanish as well . Great for a date/ drinks

Mexican food done right. Super tasty takes on the classics. Decent happy hour too, but only in the front bar area. Staff is super friendly.

Festive with spacious seating arrangements in the dining room and lounge areas. Great food and superb margaritas with excellent mezcal.

Pampano’s sister restaurant just up the street on First Avenue, Maya is one of the best modern Mexican restaurants on the East Side. Try any of the ceviches followed by the chili citrus mahi mahi.

My dream come true - an all you can eat and drink brunch. The tapas are amazing and be sure to try the different types of mimosas.
John DuarteJanuary 30, 2022
Unlimited brunch was spectacular! They don’t skimp on anything and the time constraint wasn’t a restriction at all. Plates were constantly brought to the table. Definite win!
Chris SteeleMarch 5, 2016
The drink menu beats the food options here, with the standout being sotol (distilled spirit made like mezcal and tequila, but from a different plant).

Bottomless brunch is worth it - small dishes for everyone to share, and they are good about refilling. Excellent for a large group.
