Maya

The recently opened Maya in Charleston, SC, tells the story of Mexico’s regional landscapes through an authentic, ingredient driven menu. As you may know, “Mexican food” is a misnomer to describe the many distinct regional cuisines that encompass the term. Each region utilizes the bounty of its terrain as well as relies on weather and ingredients available to create unique flavor profiles. Maya’s Executive Chef, Brett Riley, is determined to pay homage to each of these regions through a selection of classic and reimagined dishes on Maya’s menu.
