Amaya has a beautiful atmosphere, and the staff provide excellent service. However, while the food looks very appealing and well presented, the taste was honestly disappointing. It was just okay not great. I’ve eaten a lot of Mexican food, so I expected the flavors to match the price. The $40 burrito was extremely underwhelming in terms of taste, and the octopus was just okay. As for dessert, it looked nice, but there was nothing special about it beyond the presentation.

Nice place for family gatherings, the staffs are nice, the foods and the vibe are great. The non-alcoholic drinks taste so good. El Niño tastes more sour than La Niña, my daughter likes La Niña, I prefer El Niño. The octopus is so tender with unique flavor mixing with the potato. The size of the taco salad is for two, really huge one. We love shrimp tacos and taco de pollo. You may reserve a seat if you don’t want to wait for a long time during the peak hours. Recommend it!

Great place …. Great addition to the Cosmopolitan and the variety they offer…..can’t go wrong….the damn chip and salsa so addicting as well as the service…. On point great teamwork they recognize the needs of the table and handle it swiftly…..no long waits for the food….comes out in good waves staging the hunger attack beautifully…. I definitely will be come back more to try more of the menu and might even dare to take some to go back to room for later…. It’s THAT good …. Well done and well run!!!

YALL!!! Talk about a delicious meal!!! Service was beyond wonderful! Our waitress, Stephanie, was one in a million and just truly over the top! She was helpful and just a fun waitress. But we also had wonderful bus boys and other helpers, Jesse, Kevin, Gino, and Josh. I would highly recommend the guacamole, fish tacos, and scallops. Everything was delicious but damn, those fish tacos were amazing! The dessert was also delicious. The vibe was also fun! I can’t wait to go back! I would highly recommend! I would also recommend reservations.

October 2025: My husband and I are at Amaya Modern Mexican restaurant for dinner. I loved the design inside the restaurant along with the beautiful decor. The service was great, our waitress was friendly and fast. Our food was phenomenal! The guacamole and chips were delicious and not too cilantro and onion heavy. We thought maybe they roasted the onions instead of putting in raw ones. The guacamole had great flavor. My husband loved the burrito and he liked the fact that the red and green sauce were separated on the burrito, so he could try both. I loved my carne asada tacos with the side of rice and beans, the meat was tender. I did ask for a side of spicy salsa, which I enjoyed. We loved our experience so much that we came back the next day to have cocktails at the bar. The spicy margaritas were good!
