La Maya

“Was craving a cold margarita and nachos, and La Maya delivered. The drinks were perfectly spicy, I’ll be thinking about the nachos (v) for days, and I have the enfrijolada enchiladas (v)….and will likely be dreaming about them for days. I can’t believe I haven’t been to this gem before- we were seated immediately, food came out perfectly timed, our waiter was friendly and gave great recommendations. My only complaint? I didn’t have room for dessert. VERY much recommend for vegetarians.”

“All was superb. Food. Service. Decor. Guac was freshly and beautifully presented. Plantains were done to perfection with sprinkled special cheese on top. The cocktails were yummy and innovative. Will take the rest of family & friends here to take in the vibe.”

“Last night I was in the Lehigh Valley and decided to dine at La Maya restaurant in Hellertown, PA. I was intrigued by reviews citing its tasty modern Mexican cuisine and excellent cocktails. La Maya did not disappoint! The ambience is dimly lit, and perfect for a romantic dinner. On the cocktails side, I tried "Señor Sal" - a dirty martini / Vesper riff featuring their proprietary gin and vodka, dry vermouth, pickled jalapeño, olive brine, and lemon infused olive oil. It was a visually attractive, delicious, and sturdy cocktail. Just what the doctor ordered! Later I tried the house margarita. It was balanced and refreshing. There are options to add flavorings to the house margarita spec for +$2 (e.g., Matcha Coconut, Spicy, Guava Mint, Caramelized Pineapple). My dinner companion tried the caramelized pineapple and loved it. On the culinary side, the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. For an entree, I selected the Carne Nortena - a tequila-marinated ribeye with sauteed scallions and shisito peppers. The steak was cooked perfectly to temperature (medium-rare) and amazingly juicy. The roasted sweet potato wedges (Camote) were also outstanding. Don't forget dessert - the coconut flan was to die for! Service - I believe our server's name was Alex, was on-point. He was knowledgeable about both the food and beverages, and did not rush us. Thank you La Maya for a great evening! I will definitely return.”

“My favorite is the Macha coconut margarita! That is my go to. Its a mexican place. The food is freshly made. The service is always a plus. The atmosphere is vibrant with colors and decor. It is a nice place to sit back and enjoy good food with good company. I love the corn and the sweet plantains. You need to eat here. Their are margarita pitchers on Mondays for a discount. The tres leche is to die for!”

“Stopped in for a late lunch at this cool little place on Main St (rt 412) in Hellertown. Highest kudos on decor! They serve PA made only alcohol. My friend enjoyed the PA whiskey! The food was creative and tasty enough that I'm looking forward to eating there again. I gave this place 4 stars only because the highly curated menu does not allow for substitutions nor allergies to ingredients. For me, garlic cannot be in anything. All the meats and sauces have garlic. I was able to get a very fresh tomato and cucumber salad without the dressing. The service was prompt and professional. Very cool little spot with some outdoor tables. Parking is street only.”
