Over the last 10+ years Meso Maya has consistently been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Dallas. - Atmosphere: The Preston Forest location is in an unassuming strip mall with plenty of parking. They have a small outdoor seating area and indoors is a very open, family-friendly space. They often decorate for different holidays, giving the inside a fun vibe for special occasions. - Service: The service at Meso Maya is efficient and friendly. I often order to-go from this location and the food is usually ready early. It's easy to pick up quickly inside the restaurant or curbside. - Food/Drink: Meso Maya serves some of my favorite salsa of all time. My go-to dish is the carne asada. The sweet corn tamal it comes with makes the dish extra special. Other favorites are the pozole verde, pollo tacos, enchiladas pollo serrano, enchildas brisket, and the charred brussels sprouts. Drink-wise they have a great margarita selection, with the avocado as a special favorite. - Value: Meso Maya provides reasonable portion sizes at good prices. The carne asada with the tamal, rice, and beans always lasts me two meals.

So delicious! We were debating whether to go here vs our local joint, and I'm so glad we drove out an extra few minutes!! The avocado margarita was surprisingly good. The chips were solid and the entrees were both so yummy.

I love Meso Maya! I had an amazing waiter. I'm sad I don't recall his name. But myself and my date were 100% pleased. He gave great recommendations and was prompt and super friendly. Our food was hot, we were full and we liked the ambience. I won't lie, I did prefer the location near what I believe to be Addison as it had a great patio, but I would definitely come back here.

Food and service are always so good! We come here for team lunches every now and then and it's the perfect environment for it. The queso and guacamole are delicious. This location was a little tricky as I'm used to a stand alone building and this one is in a shopping center. Just a heads up if you are looking for a building and get confused!

My favorite place to eat Mexican Food. Best flavors. Best ambiance. Best service. Best of the best.

Great food and great service! I enjoyed the classic and clean Mexican ambiance. The host and hostess were both welcoming and friendly. Their chips and salsa are some of the best in Dallas in my opinion. The salsa has a slight kick and lots of flavor. Service by Alma was exceptional at lunch for the six of us. She never let our tea or water go dry, let us set a nice pace, and was very responsive though out the meal. I tried the pollo serrano enchiladas and they were outstanding! Don't let the serrano in the name fool you, as they are not very spicy at all. The serrano cream sauce over the two chicken enchiladas is just delicious. The chicken in the enchilada was flavorful, tender, and juicy. It was nice chunks of chicken vs. shredded. I would highly recommend these and I look forward to returning.

While it's a little more toned down than its other sister locations, this northern Dallas location of Meso Maya is still as stellar as the rest. It is a running, well-oiled machine of a quality establishment with all the right components (service, ambiance, food, etc.) that make it an easy go-to anytime I'm in the area. There is ample space for groups to stretch out with some outdoor options as well. The bathrooms and the interior are super clean, which is always appreciated. There are occasional waits on the weekend, but I've been fortunate to never have to wait long to be seated. Brunch is an option here, but I've always preferred their dinner given their intimate atmosphere. Food wise, the queso blanco with chorizo is a must. The blend of cheeses with the crumble of the chorizo is dynamite. I also feel their arrachera steak platter is nearly perfect each time, but the carne asada is also excellent. I've enjoyed their mole and feel their chile relleno is also quite good. Tacos and enchiladas are good lunch options, but they should be considered third tier compared to the rest. The cocktails are also potent and are on point presentation wise. Margaritas are fun, especially the serrano and avocado. The latter is a nice surprise, with a little tartness from the pineapple. I would rank it above all of their cocktails and make it a hard recommendation for all. Prices will vary, but they're going to end up on the higher side. Meso Maya has felt corporate for some time now, so folks with expectations for authenticity will need to curb that a bit. Aside from the food, they tend to outdo themselves on the service. The hospitality is real and I have always had a good experience here with a staff that is constantly checking up on folks, brings food out in a timely manner, and does it all with a smile.
