It was another iLearners Board of Trustees meeting and Atty. Ethelbert suggested that we try the hip Maya Taqueria & Tequila Lounge.

We started our dinner with Quezo Fundido (Price: 245php). Fresh Masa Chips with Melted Mexican cheeses & Jalapenos dip. I love Quezo Fundido when eaten in moderation.

We also had Carnitas(Meat) Quesadilla Gringa (Price: 175php)with salsa fresca . I love how the Salsa tasted so fresh.

Carnitas Taco (Price: 265php) is a 6 hour roasted organic pork shoulder. Organic Pork? hehe. I love their Camarones Al Coco( Price: 295php). 5 Crisp Coco Tiger Prawns served with sweet and sour mango sauce. Crisp on the outside but very juicy and tender on the inside.

I ordered Iced Tea for my Drink and it came with a liquid agave sweetener. It's a lighter version of our Pinoy iced tea which is full of sugar. Just refreshing!

Churros Con Chocolate (Price: 145php) tasted fresh. The Hot Churros sprinkled with cinnamon Sugar dipped in hot choco syrup was good. Kara, Greg and Chai said that Hola Espana's Churros are better. Must try Hola Espana!

Puddin de Bananas(Price: 115PHP) tasted like cerelac! hahaha. It had a strong taste of green bananas which I didn't enjoy!

The service at Maya is commendable! Very warm, attentive and friendly staff! The high ceiling, the romantic lighting, the Mayan furnitures and decorations are just great that adds up to a good Mayan Experience! And with how fresh the food tastes, they must've used fresh and quality ingredients that justifies the price. Will be back to taste those tequila! Raaaaawr!
