Cocina Maya Mexican Grill & Mezcaleria

The Write-Up

The full story

Cocina Maya is a cozy, festive Lake Mary room where the Mexican kitchen goes well past taco-shop basics, with a little tableside flair as part of the show. The Queso Fundido Molcajeteado arrives bubbling, the Holy Guacamole lives up to its name, and quesabirria tacos and sizzling fajitas keep the table busy. Mezcal cocktails bring the smoke, and the margaritas are the pours guests keep coming back for.
