It's a tequila bar with a Mexican inspired menu to die for. I am really enjoying tasting menus at the moment and Maya has just that.
The chicken ribs for example are absolutely divine. Whenever I think of ribs I think American style pork ribs. Or even beef ribs. I would never have thought of these dainty, extremely meaty and tasty chicken ribs. Whats more, they were not greasy, marinated and served in a finger licking tasty sauce that I would continue licking from until the plate was clean.
Another share plate on the menu is the grilled corn on the cob. This isn't usually a dish I would expect to find on the menu either, and I must admit it does require some level of skill to be able to eat it properly.
Simple but delicious idea, but as I said it does require a certain amount of skill to eat. See below for exhibit A - how two pieces of corn have been eaten.
I would have loved to have eaten a lot more especially the Fundido Con Chorizo but with our pre-dinner drinks and snacks earlier on, I could only order a few small dishes. But the Fundido Con Chorizo does come highly recommended. Pan fried chorizo, with cactus, spinach and mushroom, topped with melted cheese - what is there not to love? My mouth is watering thinking about it and I am quite upset that I didn't get to try a lot more this trip.
It is the best excuse however to head back over to Melbourne soon, very soon, as it won't be long until I start craving the food and margaritas again at Maya.
Yours truly,
