A Mexican eatery named Maya is moving into the 479 King St. space previously occupied by Macintosh, the Indigo Road Hospitality Group announced Monday. Look for the restaurant to open for dinner and weekend brunch later this summer, the group said in a press release.
Maya will be Indigo Road’s seventh full-service restaurant in Charleston, joining Indaco, O-Ku, Oak Steakhouse, Bar Mash, Kingstide and forthcoming Brasserie la Banque, which is set to open in the coming weeks. New Jersey native Brett Riley joins Maya as executive chef after working most recently at Casa Pública in the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.
The restaurant will be “inspired by Mexico’s vibrant and diverse cuisine” and “celebrates the region’s uniquely bold flavors and traditional techniques through an authentic, ingredient driven menu with coastal influences,” according to the release. Maya will also have an “in-house masa program,” meaning fresh chips and tortillas will be prevalent on the menu.
