Strawberry-Basil house-infused margarita is the best in the city, especially when it's only $6 during happy hour
Ben LugavereSeptember 27, 2012Excellent braised short rib tacos...super beefy. Goes well with Pepino, the cucumber jalapeño margarita!
everything on the menu is incredibly tasty, love the flavors here. room a little too loud but the food makes it totally worth it - the frozen mango margaritas are killin
Mary Lou GradisekDecember 12, 2013Food just as good as when we were here several years ago. Pulled pork carnitas were quite tasty!
MeCritic.comNovember 26, 2011Been there several times, very good Mexican food. Maya has great ambiance for a romantic dinner. http://www.mecritic.com/places/place/4533/Maya
Bacon guacamole! Also, excellent tapas & tacos. The margaritas are top notch.
35$ for all you can eat and drink. Be careful about this one but the food is awesome!!!
Darian Symoné HarvinJune 22, 2013the best part is that the $35 brunch all you can eat entrees are quality!
Paige CNovember 13, 2016HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! They spilled food and sauce all over my Dad's clothes and the night was a disaster. They didn't help clean up or offer a solution (napkins, club soda, etc). Staff was awful!
Def get the beef short rib, best thing on the menu. The pepino is a solid drink as well.
Rebecca BakerMay 19, 2013Best brunch in NYC. Bottomless mimosas/margaritas and tapas for $35. Good times.
Raquel BeteshJuly 24, 2012If you're looking to spice things up, get the pepino cocktail... Made with home infused jalapeño tequila.

StonehengeNYCNovember 17, 2011Yum. Famed chef Richard Sandoval's first restaurant! It's on the ground floor of our luxury rental building, Stonehenge 65. Read more
Michelle C.March 12, 2012$6 margaritas, $4 Mexican beers; $3 bar food like torta sliders and Mexico City-style tacos
The drinks are better than the food, and I would generally stay away from the food altogether; It's just bland and forgettable.
Michael BenedettoDecember 31, 2012Could be a romantic place but could be a messy place. All depends on who you bring. With flights of tequila, anything can happen.

BeccaFebruary 4, 2012Try their new Tequilla Pavaneo .. it's awesome! Especially in a pineapple marg, yum :)
Kristen MarieAugust 12, 2018It was overpriced and mediocre at best. We got fish tacos which were soggy for $17, a mini quesadilla for $16 and some enchiladas for $25 which didn’t even come with a side dish. Disappointing overall
HeidiFebruary 15, 2013Do not get the chocoflan....I wish I got the chocolate peanut butter bar thing!
Jim RossMarch 30, 2011For a quick/light dinner, splitting some of the $3 appetisers is a good shout. Some real tasty stuff
