Happy Valentines Day! 💕 For dinner, I went to Maya Mexican Grill on Grace St. 😋🌮🍚 It is super close to The National and Carpenter Theater so it would make the perfect dinner before/after watching a performance.
I started with some salsa and azul guacamole which had grapes, green apple, and blue cheese and was a surprisingly tasty combination! 🍇🍏🧀 For entree, I ordered the chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce which came with a side of rice and beans. It was a good portion and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. 😍 The food would have been a lot better if it came out warmer though. I don’t know about you, but I like my food piping hot and if there isn’t steam, it isn’t hot enough. 🥵 It was a busy night, so it also took a while (>30min) for the server to bring out the checks. 😐
The atmosphere of the restaurant was stunning: high ceilings, gorgeous artwork, dim lighting, and massive windows. Overall, the food was good quality, but I think the experience could have been better if the service had matched the same level as the food and intimate ambience. 🤷♀️
💲: 10 for azul guacamole, 14 for chicken enchiladas
🏆: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
