La Maya

A little gem of a Mexican restaurant can be found at 650 Main Street in Hellertown. From the authentic decor (you'll want to face the wall to view the many fascinating photos and prints), to the excellent choices of meticulously prepared and beautifully served meals, this restaurant truly sparkles! We shared the Nachos which are vegan and gluten free, another aspect I love since I have celiac disease. The authentic Maya Margarita was perfect with a delicate rim of salt, definitely an excellent accompaniment to the nachos. We were too full to try the enchiladas, dishes to share, salads or many main courses, but we will return very soon to taste them. However, do not pass up the flan no matter how full you are! Delicate coconut shavings topped this smooth, creamy dessert. Hellertown is turning into a gourmet dining destination, especially with the addition of La Maya!

Four weeks into opening and they are killing it. The La Maya staff is amazing, the ambiance was so on point. I love places that you can have a fantastic meal and still speak with your dinner guests or those around you without yelling over the crowd or the music. This is the place to go if you want to experience delicious Mexican food that will have you really tasting all the delicious ingredients. The food is all prepped the day of, meaning it’s fresh and flavorful. Traditional guacamole, corn ‘ribs’ and chicken tortilla soup were really great options to eat a litter lighter. The drinks were SO good, non-alcoholic or not they really embody the vibes across a lot of drinks. From traditional margs to house specials served up in terra cotta type glasses this place slaps. Not too much vegan here but definitely can do gluten free and vegetarian. Plan a nice evening out (opens at 4), make reservations or grab a seat at the gorgeous bar (with awesome supportive cushy stools). Either way you’re going to love it.
