Large, open restaurant. Cheap and plentiful and really good (I had the shrimp tacos). It gets crowded as the evening wears on, but I had an early dinner and there were only 3 customers. As I walked by the next day, the manager waved at me and called me by name. Next time, I think this will be my home... More

We had dinner at Teresa's several nights ago and were very impressed with our Tikinxic meal This is a dish that we often look for, as it is one of our favorites, but we are nearly always disappointed. Not at El Ultimo Maya! To begin with, the filet was quite large. Then it was covered with spices and vegetables, wrapped... More

We went to this restaurant the first night and so much better in the pueblo than the playa. The food was fantastic, recommended specials not on the menu, delicious and I love the setting.

Ate there twice this time. Loved the food both times and the price can't be beat. The lady who runs the place is so sweet and her customer service is fantastic. She will make anything you want. I will definitely go back. I made plans to be there on rib night but couldn't make it. I am still regretting not... More

Worth the trip across the bridge. Pre booked chili relenos for our group of 10 people. The food was excellent.

Price, value, quality even atmosphere on the other side of 307 from tourist Akumal. Teresa is very interested in us tourists enjoying a Mexican meal as Mexicans would. Very glad we got there so close to the comfort of our condo yet so clearly part of pueblo akumal.

If you are looking for freshly-made, reasonably-priced, flavorful food, El Ultimo Maya is the place. It is a quick drive or walk across the bridge (over the highway) on the north side of the main road through "old Akumal." Teresa, one of the owners, and her sister (the chef) make some of the best food I have had in the... More

We were looking for an 'authentic' mexican restaurant in Akumal and found this. The food is delicious and great value. You pay more for similar mexican food that is less tasty in many other restaurants in the area. The restaurant is clean and safe. The owner is friendly, welcoming and speaks a bit of english. As a foodie family (with... More
