Item Description

Use this $50 Gift Card for an amazing meal at either of our two Dallas locations!

Think of our menu as our homage to Mexican and Mayan food, techniques, and methods: a culinary adventure into the FRESH, BOLD & EARTHY flavors of authentic interior Mexico. From the herbs and spices we use for homemade adobos and salsas, to our hand-ground tortillas, to the entrees and sauces we create from scratch, every dish is prepared with a reverence to the states of Mexico -- glorious places like Yucatan, Vera Cruz, and Chiapas.

The chocolate used in our mole sauce is made from specialty cocoa beans we grind in house. The garlic in the camaron al mojo de ajo is peeled from whole cloves. The skillet-baked blueberries in the pastel de mora are always fresh picked. The tomatoes in our salsa are cooked on a wood-burning grill.

Yes, Chef Nico Sanchez is a stickler for precision and detail, and Meso Maya offers a menu unparalleled in the city. From the heart-shaped leaves of the hoja santa, which we use to wrap tamales, to the particular paring of cochinita pibil (pork) and achiote (spice), the fare here is unrelentingly faithful to the dishes you¿ll find throughout the regions of Central and Southern Mexico. And authenticity is the main ingredient in everything we serve.

Meso Maya is part of Firebird Restaurant Group, the company behind two other restaurants you know and love -- El Fenix and La Ventana. Since 2008, Firebird has opened 10 new locations, satisfying the appetites of diners across the area, and more restaurants are planned for the near future. How does Meso Maya and the entire Firebird family keep diners craving items on the menu? Mike Karns, our CEO, puts it like this: "We see an increasing trend for menu options that are fresh, seasonal, and homemade. We are continually evolving our menu items to stay current or ahead of these trends. We like standing apart from the masses and creating something different from the sea of sameness that exists in many markets."
