Fiesta Maya - Charlotte

My friend always praises this restaurant, so I decided to join her for dinner here this past Saturday evening. I ordered the super vegetarian quesadilla with a side of rice. It's a basic choice, but it was still quite good. However, the service wasn't friendly at all, and we never received any drink refills or were asked how our meals were after the food was served at different times.

I wish I could give this restaurant zero stars! It’s absolutely disgusting and unsanitary. The kitchen is very dirty, although customers can’t see it. Food is left out uncovered, there are flies everywhere, and it smells like sewage. I’ve heard similar concerns from the delivery team that services this place! I’m sharing this as a warning for your health.

I had a great experience at this restaurant before, so my boyfriend and I decided to stop by the other night to place a to-go order. The wait was minimal, which was nice. However, once we got home and started eating, we were let down. Everything was incredibly dry and overcooked, almost as if it had been prepared earlier in the day and just reheated. We ordered fajitas that included chicken, steak, shrimp, and chorizo. The shrimp was so overcooked that we struggled to remove the tails. Additionally, my beans and rice were cold. Given the price of each plate, it was quite disappointing. The staff was very friendly, but unfortunately, I felt like I wasted $40 that night.

Be sure to try the skinny margarita—it never disappoints! The food is outstanding, and the service is good as well.

Fiesta Maya is a hidden gem that I’m now calling my go-to spot for Mexican food! The prices are quite reasonable, and the food is consistently fantastic. Plus, the customer service is excellent!
