Definitely worth the trip from anywhere in the greater Chicagoland area! Great drink and food menus and very well trained staff. If the weather is good, reserve a table on the patio.

We dined with friends on a Saturday evening. We elected to dine on their delightful patio despite the cool evening. Blankets were provided. The blackened mahi tacos were delicious, as we're the chicken ones. The restaurant was hosting a party and patio guests were asked to use a hallway reserved for staff to avoid passing through the party.

Maya is a good dining spot at any time during the year, but really shines in the summer when you can eat on the massive rear patio. The patio is a great spot -- tree-shaded in areas, isolated from the rest of the neighborhood, put plenty of activity among patrons and servers. Except for the ceviche (which is absolutely outstanding),... More

Love this place. Latin Spanish Mexican flavor. Upscale neighborhood restaurant. Good wines. Nice bar. Perfectly cooked salmon w/dill. Nice complementary birthday brulee. We love the neighborhood and the walk around oak park.

Latin fare with a flair, everything we ate at Maya was unique and tasty. The nachos were topped with a type of soft, pot roast-type beef. You must add a side of their wonderful guacamole. My wife loved her late Sunday morning french toast. You will want to call ahead for reservations but do not miss when you visit Oak... More

Maya Del Sol has a very different menu, using foods found not only in Mexico but in the Mayan area of South America. The food is unique and always delicious. Great drinks and a good selection of wines. I have been here numerous times, and plan to go back many more. I was featured on "Check Please" on WTTW, Channel... More

Maya Del Sol is definitely above the ordinary. Although it seems to be thought of as Mexican, the cuisine is more Caribbean, largely due to the influence of a Jamaican chef. The staff is wonderfully well trained and attentive, with a thourough knowledge of the dishes and the appropriate beverage accompaniment. Parking can be a bit dicey, but valet service... More

The menu here changes seasonally, and is always good. I especially enjoy the outdoor patio during warm weather. The drinks are very good as well...not watered down, overly sweet, or too strong. Servers are attentive but not imposing. I really enjoy dinners here.

Blue Cheese Fillet was amazing. Never thought I'd order a fillet at a Mexican restaurant, glad I took the risk. Wine list was adequate and decently priced. Beautiful outside dinning area. Service was knowledgeable but our server was on his own clock.

Maya Del Sol is, by far, my favorite restaurant in Oak Park! The food is fantastic, the cocktails and carefully selected wine list are great, the staff is friendly & efficient, the atmosphere is wonderful and the patio is spectacular!
