Nico Sanchez presides over the kitchen at this appealing North Dallas interior Mexican spot with a pleasant patio and terrific salsa. Standout dishes include the rich chicken soup called sopa de lima; ceviche; cochinita pibíl; and chuleta de puerco. For lunch, there’s a terrific torta filled with braised pork and tacos made with fresh corn tortillas made from corn ground in-house. Full bar.

Sitting on the covered patio at MesoMaya at lunch the other day, I almost, almost felt I was lounging under a palapa in Baja California. The feeling was so right — light, breezy, relaxed. I looked out beyond the wide-open giant awning windows, expecting to see the Pacific Ocean off in the distance; instead, my eyes feasted on a North Dallas office building, a water tower, a sea of Ford F-150s in the parking lot. Nevertheless, how lovely on a lazy Saturday to treat oneself to a good Mexican lunch.
MesoMaya’s dining room is as appealing as the patio, with high ceilings, a bar in the center, lots of reclaimed wood. There’s a nice view into the kitchen as you enter, and the smart-looking procession of ceviches in their cheerful parfait glasses makes it easy to decide what to start with one night at dinner.

We went with someone on their 3rd trip who loved it. My wife and I both thought it was really bad except for one of the small plates and the salsa was OK. I like salt on the rim of a margarita but my whole drink was salty and bad (Silver one too). The enchiladas were very bad and my wife's different flavor ones were too. I didn't try desert....just wanted out of there. In my entire life here, this is only the second awful mexican place I have experienced. Please don't go there.

The total package

My husband and I drove a long way to try MesoMaya on the advice of my parents and it went beyond our expectations. It says "comida y copas" and although we didn't try the drinks, it has a lengthy list of cocktails and could easily become the go-to spot for the It crowd. It was jammed on Saturday night. The setting is sleek and beautiful, almost tropical, with cool, smooth Latin music playing. The menu seemingly has something for everyone. My shrimp cocktail was a large enough to share but I didn't want to give up my shrimp bathed in a tangy sauce with chunks of avocado. My sea bass was truly divine, an inch thick with a nice char yet moist and perfectly seasoned, on a bed of almost buttery rice, marinated mushrooms and zucchini. Next time I will try some of those brisket tacos. Dessert was crepes with cajeta and chunks of sweet plantain. Perfect. Our waitress even spoke Spanish, a real plus for my native-speaker husband and helpful for Dallasites navigating the menu.
