Meso Maya - Tanglewood

“This place is amazing. The food here is southern Mexican food. If you want Tex Mex don’t come here because this is authentic Mexican food. This is the best Mexican food we’ve had since moving to Texas. If you don’t think this tastes like authentic Mexican food then you don’t know what Mexican food really tastes like.”

“Quick Summary If you're looking for incredible, authentic Tex-Mex, in a cozy, romantic environment, look no further thanMeso Maya Comida y Copas. Vibe & Atmosphere Quiet and a bit classy. Decorative lights fill the room and compliment the chips and salsa. Food * Chips & Salsa - We loved the crispy corn chips, cut in a bite -size shape. The salsa was fairly mild, with a hint of mesquite flavor. * Combo Guac / Queso - Very fresh veggies were used in the guac. Lots of onions were present. The cheese had a great spice and was very flavorful. Service We were promptly greeted and seated. Our waitress immediately took our drink order and brought the chips & salsa. Another server delivered the main course Price & Value The quality and generous serving sizes made the price and value fit perfectly. Final Verdict No doubt about it, Meso Maya is the only place to go for quality Tex-Mex.”

“Absolutely fantastic Yucatan cuisine. Sopa de Lima & Cochinita Pibil were fantastic, as well as great drinks. We just got back from Mérida Mexico and it was very nice to have regionally authentic comida. We will certainly visit again and highly recommend!!”

“Authentic Mexican with good food and drinks. Mezcal margarita was great, the ribeye chicarrón appetizer was well worth it, and the tacos were loaded. Well worth a stop for some good food.”

“I found this restaurant by accident online and thought it looked really good. A few weeks later my husband and I were able to go and had the best experience. Our server had been a regular diner here and then started working there. She was very friendly, answered questions, talked up how all the juices were made in-house etc. Wonderful service! She even inquired about allergies and when I said I had a beef allergy, she commented that she had a pork allergy! I'm always embarrassed to bring up my weird allergy but she made me feel halfway normal, lol. We had a couple delicious cocktails each- I really enjoyed the avocado and the cucumber margaritas!- and the queso/guac combo (phenomenal), entrees and then ended with chocolate cake and café olla. Super great experience and I knew I was going to come back for brunch with a girlfriend. Today my friend and I dined here and the experience was night and day. If this had been my first time here I would not come back. I arrived first and was seated. When the server came around I let her know my friend was just a couple minutes away but I would start with a margarita. Friend arrived and a few minutes later our server dropped off some waters but I still hadn't gotten my cocktail. This was a precursor of how the meal would go. I did eventually get my drink and my friend ordered hers at that time. The whole meal was a series of delays in taking orders and delivering things. We had to flag down someone else for refills on salsa, another server came by and apologized for the delay in food and she dropped it off herself a few minutes later. My friend still had not received her drink and we had to ask another passing server to please find our server. The one that dropped our food off came and got the drink details. I'm going to assume our actual server was new because her timing was terrible. She was friendly in a soft-spoken way but never acknowledged any of the issues throughout the meal. Mind you, my friend and I stayed polite and courteous to everyone we encountered and did not make fuss or say anything about the way the service was going, but I probably should have said something to management just to let them know our server was not ready to be out of training. The only drink I had this time was very good and the food was fine- it was just the service that was lacking. I felt terrible for suggesting this restaurant to my friend as it was not a good experience. She'll never be back. I told my husband about our experience and he was shocked, as our meal had been amazing! We will probably try one more time before we will know which of the 2 experiences is going to reflect this restaurant.”
