Overall, the prices were fair, the ambiance was nice, and the food was delicious. If I come back to DR I will bring friends here, but it’s not a spot worth traveling to for the meal alone – just a good meal for those who happen to be in the area. I washed it all down with a fresh strawberry juice. However, eating the goat meat and switching to the rice and beats between bites definitely worked out. I dipped the goat in the beans just to know what it would be like, but I quickly learned the goat meat is meant to stay in the stew. It was flavorful but I think, in general, I’m not a fan of goat meat. The meat fell off the bone and was ever-so tender. The goat tasted like pot roast stewed in a slow cooker for hours, with veggies and soaked in its own juices. The rice was good but the beans were the star of the show – spiced but sweet and a great compliment to the rice and goat stew, as it offset the bitterness of the goat. Rice and beans seem simple but I believe if you can make a simple side of rice and beans delicious, you’re winning. Even though we understand of staffing shortages & have been extremely patient post-Covid, we will never return to Meso Maya with this service as there are so many other options that have been more accommodating.Right when it arrived I could smell the spices of the stew as well as the rice and beans. Just as we were pulling out cash to drop & leave, single lady guy finally decided to process the bill. We immediately put our credit card down to pay – again, no one around – Strike 6. We asked for our check – 15 minutes later we got it (as the bartender left & the other person was still talking to the single lady & would not acknowledge us) – Strike 5. Potato was listed as one of the supporting ingredients, but it should have been called potato and shrimp flauta – but that doesn’t quite catch the eye to draw people into your restaurant – Strike 4. The food tasted good however, there were no jalapenos in the flauta and it was mostly potato versus shrimp. ![]() Once ordered, it took 20 minutes for the food to arrive – keep in mind there were only two other people at the bar/three tables of two occupied and four workers behind the bar chit chatting – Strike 3. It takes 15 minutes for someone to assist us. We are finally ready to order the special that was received via email – shrimp & jalapeno flautas. Sure hope he scored with the shear amount of time he was putting into working her – Strike 2. Another waiter arrives, but to talk to the single woman enjoying her wine – he was with her for 25 minutes & only left to give a newly arrived table some water. Strike 1 – had we wanted just margarita mix, we could have gone to the grocery. to take our drink order – house margaritas. We waited about 10 minutes before someone returned.
