Have you heard? Maya, the Mexican eatery downtown at 479B King St., has a new chef with a refreshed menu. Chef Jullian Abarca joins the team after running the Charleston-based pop-up restaurant Matzo Y Masa, which specialized in Jewish-Mexican cuisine.

Just in time for summer, Chef Jullian’s new menu features bright dishes such as:

  • Watermelon Salad | with Chamoy, Goat Cheese, Fresh Mint, Tajin, and Pepitas
  • Rotating Ceviche | with Lime juice, Pickled Sweet Peppers, Fresh Herbs, Escabeche, and Chips
  • Local Catch | with Plancha Grilled Whole Filets, Roasted Poblano Chili Rajas, and Creamed Corn

Maya is open every day at 5 p.m. Make your reservations.
