Palacio Maya - Toledo

The guacamole at this restaurant is top-notch. The margaritas are pretty good as well. The service is usually fast and pleasant. The prices are reasonable. However, the food can be hit or miss. On my most recent visit, I ordered the California fish tacos expecting a certain level of quality. Unfortunately, what I received was simply shells and fish, with the expectation to add the crema salad myself. The tacos smelled and tasted unpleasant, to the point where my partner even spit out a bite. Take a look at the picture and judge for yourself - they were not appetizing or appealing.

I would not recommend the food at this restaurant. However, the service was good and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Personally, I do not plan on dining here again.

I came for the margaritas and that's exactly what I got. After a long week, I needed a pitcher of strawberry margarita and it did not disappoint. Mariah provided excellent service and the food was good. Happy Hour ends at 8, so my partner and I had a great time enjoying the cocktails.

My friend put it best... It 's a step up from Taco Bell. Maybe that sounds harsh, so let me continue. Honestly, the complimentary chips and salsa were delicious... Chips were thin and the salsa was a perfect blend between medium spicy and mild. The margaritas weren 't anything to complain about, but also nothing amazing to brag about. The small size is more of a medium size. While we had ordered Patron, it 's questionable whether that 's what we received. It was okay, but not great, despite the large size. Service was fine, though our server seemed anxious to get us served and vacate the table. Nevertheless, not inattentive, except needed reminding for extra salsa. With a more relaxed server, it would have felt more comfortable to linger a bit longer and we would have tipped accordingly given recognition that the table was occupied for longer than usual. The food... I will speak to my Burrito Texas Tornado with grilled chicken. It was mostly filled with rice and the grilled chicken was very scarce- and not in grilled pieces that I had anticipated but rather in a few squiggly pieces here and there. There was a cheese sauce on top that was along the order of a processed cheese mixture- definitely not authentic real cheese. The guacamole side was pretty good- although not the tableside guac, it was good and seemed fresh, well seasoned. Overall, there was nothing horrible, but nothing that would make my friend or me want to run back. My friend had planned to order a meal for her son there, but decided that Taco Bell would suffice- especially since the server seemed like she wanted to be rid of us. She missed out on the extra order and a better tip.

Palacia Maya has really good street tacos! We prefer the asada or the chicken. The taquitos are one of our go-to. My daughter said this is the best chicken quesadilla she has ever had, and she doesn't even care for meat. The tamales are so big, hearty, and tasty! Such a delicious comfort food! The churros are a perfect ending to a wonderful meal! We always wash it down with a refreshing jumbo margarita. The margarita mix is on point, no need to add a fruity flavoring! This is an overlooked place to dine, due to all the big name chain restaurants located around here. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
