Review of Maya

This is the first time I have visited Charleston. It is rare that an entire restaurant's menu is safe for me with no risk of cross contamination. It is even rarer when both food and service are so extraordinarily good.

My friend and I enjoyed our experience so much we had dinner here three times. There was not a single thing we tried that we didn't love. Over the course of our visits, I sampled the watermelon, ginger-pineapple and chile-mango margaritas. All delicious, and the flavors of the latter two were rich and complex.

The chips were served hot and fresh every time and the guacamole (chunky) had just the right amount of lime. My favorite dish was the Tuna Tostada - the tuna was fresh and the spice level just right, every bite a burst of flavor. Tacos (we tried brisket) and enchiladas (we had chicken mole and calabaza - butternut squash) were so tasty, with corn tortillas that were the perfect texture.

Surprise! Desserts were gluten free too, and I had churros for the first time in more than 10 years. Yum! The sorbet and ice cream are made locally. The Tres Chocolates cake? Piping hot and oh so good.

The service was stellar every time we visited - prompt, efficient, warm. On our 3rd visit, they had our table set with a few sweet surprises. I'll definitely return on future visits to Charleston.
