Meso Maya, an authentic Mexican restaurant known for a two-week wait when it first opened, was developed by chef Nico Sanchez. He wanted to create a Mexican restaurant unlike any other Dallas had seen with fresh food, craft cocktails and a cool ambience for guests. The avocado margarita is a great balance of rich, sugary and tangy flavors.
