last saturday, march 31, burnz and i had dinner at Maya, a mexican restaurant, located at Crossroads, Banilad, Cebu City. from its main entrance, you'll know that its a posh resto as you'll be greeted with beautiful art pieces hanged on the wall. from the name itself, Maya, the mesoamerican civilization who are widely known for their influence in the arts and architecture. this resto really depicts the rich culture of the mayan civilization. its really sosyal, as in! :) ... to my dear readers, read on as I'll be honest and candid with my reviews. my reviews are of my personal opinion of how i see, feel and think of the place and food is. i'll describe them to the best of my ability. chos! hahaha :)

Maya signage - really depicts the Mayan art na! :)

looks like totems to me. so unique! :)
as you enter, you'll be greeted with dim lights... the ambiance is really luxurious and elegant... its the type of place where you really need to be prim and proper... their bar seems to offer a pricey range of drinks, from beer to cocktails. lol :)
Picture
even the bar counter top has a hidden dim lighting - take notice! sosyal! ;)
fronting the bar, i was greeted with a long dining table. and the pink container for their lighting really really caught my attention! hahahaha... so feminine, luv the contrast!

long dining table with pink lights! :)

these holy images are located near the loo! lol bakit dito nilagay? :(
at the bar, we were greeted by their friendly staffs... we instructed them that we'll be dining at the 2nd floor. burnz went to the loo (call of nature). i was just shocked to see Holy Images displayed beside the loo. i was really bothered as to why, of all places, beside the loo! my gosh, naloka ako! these are the pics of the Sto. Niño, God the father, Mother Mary , Baby Jesus and so on. look at the pics above... im sorry but i must take offense of the location... it should not be beside the loo, please lang! i suggest that they remove the images since it doesn't relate naman to their mayan theme. maookray kayo ng pari when they see this! lol :)...when we're about to go up, we were greeted with different painted skulls at the stairs, kaloka! mayan execution ang theme! hahaha :)
Picture
painted skulls! sa ganda ng lugar bakit may mga bungo?! lol :)
when we're at the 2nd floor, we were greeted with another bar, neatly arranged tables and comfy couches! so nice and spacious, plus the dim lights! :)
Picture
tables good for two people. :)
Picture
another long table but their 2nd floor is really spacious, as in! but no pink lights! sayang! hahaha :)
burnz and i looked for a table where we could sit on a couch and be comfy and feel good! so, we took the corner table.

after we've settled at our place, we took our orders... its a good thing, they have free tacos for starters! yum! im sure, everyone will agree that the best things in life are those that are free! hahaha :)
Picture
our free taco chips with spicy sauce! yum! :)
we also ordered vegetarian salad, ensalada de jicama (mexican version of veggie salad). hay naku, this is  really my favorite, kakaloka! ginamitan ng coriander vinegrette, ang sarap, sobra! hahaha :) try nyo talaga toh! :)

ensalada de jicama (mexican version of veggie salad) - a must try! :)
after the salad, our main courses were served at the same time... ang saya coz the timing is really superb coz by the time you're done devouring the starters, the main course would be served agad... so, walang tigil ang kain, dire-diretso talaga! hahaha :)
Picture
enchiladas de queso y pollo
for this enchiladas de queso y pollo - the taste is "just" ok... i find it kinda strong for my taste coz of the many spices involved... hahaha... i wont recommend this though. at least im honest na it doesn't suit my taste talaga... hahaha :)
Picture
quezadilla camarones
quezadilla camarones is what burnz had. this didn't have too much spice. i like burnz's dish even better than mine! plus, i love salsa too! hahaha :)

here are the pics of their main menu. i really took the time to take pics of these so that you'll have a rough estimate of how much you are to spend if you go to this resto. click on the pics to show a bigger and readable pic! :)

and one last thing, they also deliver! im just not sure if they have a minimum purchase. try to ask them na lang. so, call na! :)

i must say, the staffs here are inglisero, fluent mag-english, bongga! they have really good customer service skills! :)

tight hugs,
