I have been going to Maciel's since they first opened downtown. Midtown location is more convenient now. Not much I have not tried. All is very fresh and well prepared. Tacos, soup, salads, quesadillas, huaraches, with tamales on Friday and Saturday and more. Manuel and the staff at both locations could not be more attentive and accommodating. They will prepare your food however you wish. Lived in San Antonio for 8 years. Maciel's reminds me of some of my favorite places there. If you have not been to Maciel's, do yourself a favor and check it out. Also do a great job with delivery/takeout orders. read more

The service was good and the food was great. The line was a little long . But it was fun talking to others about what to order.

Finally found a Birria taco with flavor. They've done something different because the last time I had it, it wasn't the best but now it's really good. Didn't need consume. The queso is always good as well as the pollo tacos. Standard service. The porch is really nice when the weather is good read more

I keep giving them another shot! We live really close to Maciel's and we want to like them. But their food just isn't good. It often tastes like freezer burn or it's not fresh. But it's so close, we keep trying. Over 2 years, we're disappointed every time. read more

This was the perfect for a quick lunch. Light and fresh. We stopped here in our way to a basketball tournament and were in and out in 20 minutes. read more

Settled into a renovated house, this is a fresh and authentic home style Latin (Mexican mostly) powerhouse. Steak Huarache (Spanish for flip flop btw because that's how big it is), fried avocado and chicken mole tacos, and the shrimp torta were our first order. Add some Victoria beer and you could be in a border town in Mexico. Absolutely fresh ingredients, friendly faces and clean atmosphere. We are coming back for more! If I had to critique anything, I'd say they could use a storage spot to put their cases of beer, brooms and patio heaters. But honestly, that adds to the Mexico cafe vibe for me. read more

I recently had the pleasure of using this service, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. From start to finish, the process was seamless, efficient, and exceeded my expectations. One of the standout features was the incredibly fast response time. I received a reply almost immediately after submitting my request, and the entire process was handled with professionalism and care. The level of service provided was exceptional. Every detail was addressed promptly, and it was clear that the team was knowledgeable and experienced. They made sure all my questions were answered and that I felt confident moving forward. It's rare to find such a high level of customer support these days, and this experience reminded me how much of a difference it can make. What truly makes this service shine is its value for money. In an age where costs are constantly rising, it's refreshing to find a service that delivers top-notch results without breaking the bank. The pricing was more than reasonable considering the quality and speed of the service provided. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and efficient assistance. It saved me time, reduced my stress, and delivered exactly what I needed. I will definitely be using this service again in the future, and I'll be telling my friends and colleagues about it as well. Great job to the entire team--you've earned a loyal customer! read more

Love this quaint renovated house near the Cooper Young neighborhood. It is very clean and a cozy place to dine. You order your food near the back of the house and servers will bring your food to your table. I ordered a shrimp taco and an order of elotes. The taco was quite yummy. The elotes was okay but needed a little bit more cheese. The chips and salsa were primo. So yummy! There is parking on the street. The menu is electronically posted which is a nice touch to see clearly. My friends ordered a huge burrito. Looked really fresh and large. The service was good. Our server was nice and courteous. I will be back to try other menu items. read more

Small and intimate walk-in restaurant. Family owned. Friendly service. Food is prepared pretty quickly. Good variety of dishes and decent pricing and value for the money. Homemade sauces and salsa variety. The chips were homemade, but the ones we received were a stale. The pork taco was the best of the mix I tried. read more

Great house turned restaurant hidden in plain sight treat! Tried a variety. Spicy chicken taco, tilapia al Diablo, carnitas taco, mole taco, chicken quesadilla, rice, beans, chips & salsa, horchata drinks. Carnitas has good flavor but little dry. Everything else was on point. Will definitely return. Free refill drinks. That was a nice extra that really impressed us. Excellent customer service. Chill environment read more

You're not gonna find fresher and tastier tacos and other Mexican dishes anywhere else in Memphis! I love this place. It's small, quick, inexpensive, and the food is amazing! It ticks all the boxes. If you have not tried this place, you should. When I have out of town company, there are certain places I take them for barbecue, but this is where I take them from Mexican. Friends from Texas to Philadelphia have said that it's about the best they've ever had. read more

I was underwhelmed at a recent lunch at Maciel's. Service was speedy, but the chicken huarache and garlic shrimp taco I had were absolutely forgettable. The hot sauces helped but they could only do so much. The chicken was dry and very very bland. They seemed eager to turn our table. It was packed on a Monday at lunch--maybe I just picked the wrong things on the menu? read more

Friendly staff, ordering was easy, food was delicious. I had the fried carnitas tacos plate. 3 crunchy fried taco shells filled with carnitas and it comes with rice and beans. Got the guacamole. It's chunky and yummy. The salsa and crème sauces on the tables were very good. I'll definitely go back! read more

Everything from food to service was fantastic. Got the guacamole, and street chicken fajita taco then soup to take home. All I can say is Lawd Have Mercy. Will be back read more

We had tacos, tamales, quesadillas, elote corn, fajita tacos, chips & salsa, queso cheese dip, rice and refried beans and everything was DELICIOUS! Friendly and courteous staff all took care of us very well. The place was spic and span with a cozy beach side bar vibe with a spacious patio. Will definitely be going back!! read more

This is one of my favorite places to go when I'm feeling a casual date night. I love their vibe, it's chill and laid back with some cute decorations around and a patio to sit outside. Their tacos and burritos are great, they give you chips and salsa at the table (get the queso dip too!) and their horchata is amazing. The workers there are always kind, and the owner is stupendously friendly. I love coming here, it's always on my date night rotation! read more

Just went to the one on germantown road in Bartlett today after my mom talked very highly about their tacos after working near the original location for a few years. I got a torta but I'd recommend the lettuce tacos my mom had. They had two meats and apples wrapped in lettuce and they were bomb. Also the dankest hibiscus tea and a good horchata that are refillable service was top notch - legit nicest workers I've experienced in a while- but they got hella busy for lunch so id recommend going odd hours if you wanna avoid the crowd. read more

This was a really cute spot that I could not wait to try out. It's in the Cooper Young area and I have heard a lot about it. I had this deep craving and couldn't wait to try it. I had three tacos (it was the lunch special, but I am sure you can get them anytime of the day). I had a shrimp, chicken, and beef taco. I must say I was underwhelmed by the taste but maybe I didn't order right. Everything was super bland and I couldn't fully enjoy neither one. I can tell that they are authentic to Mexican style tacos, but something about them just wasn't hitting for me. I do want to try them again, just to see because I know everyone has an off day. If you have recommendations on what to order share them with me for my next visit. read more

Great food and friendly staff! Super quick and affordable too. We order from here all the time.

The tacos are huge for the price. Very pretty, they don't skimp on the veggies. They don't taste as good as they look, but still decent tacos. Their meats could benefit from some marinating. If you want phenomenal tacos, go down the road to tacos n'ganas. read more

Maciel's is easily my favorite stop for Mexican in memphis. The decor is so cute and colorful and there is a nice outside patio if you want to enjoy a sunny day. Parking is offered in the back but is limited, however there is usually plenty of street parking. Your meal comes with complimentary chips and salsa. I have yet to try something I didn't like there, but my go to has become the chicken nachos. It is a large portion and loaded with lots of goodies. Make sure to try the salsas available on the tables to add some kick. I also love getting a Horchata and the one here is delicious. The staff Is always great and I've never had to wait long even on a busy day. Great place to bring friends especially on a warm day. read more

I am hesitant to write this review since I ordered this meal through Grubhub rather than in person - I suspect my experience would have been better in person. I ordered a shrimp burrito for lunch thinking it would travel well, but unfortunately it was not packaged separately from the refried beans and rice. By the time my order made it to me, the beans had partially transferred over to the burrito, soaking the tortilla and its contents. To make matters worse, the eating utensils I asked for were not sent with the order, so I wasn't able to eat a good portion of the meal. Finally - and this is minor compared to the rest - the soda I ordered was room temperature. I won't be ordering from here through Grubhub again, though I'd be willing to give it another try in person. read more

The food was wonderful, the salsa was some of my favorite I've ever had. The chips were great, and the service was very fast and friendly. It's in a good location and the outside as well as inside are well kept. read more

Welcoming attentive service even for a quick bite place like this - definitely stands out in the area. Tostadas are my weakness and the shrimp did not disappoint, topped with fresh avocado as well. Street tacos were good, I think I didn't order the right ones - chicken and steak, kind of dry but still fresh and good. Service is super friendly, even got a to-go water without asking. Definitely recommend read more

Visited Maciel's for the first time, and at this location! It's been a place I've been wanting to try since I've been in Memphis just never had the chance, until the midtown location opened. The inside is super cute, and the outdoor seating is a great option as well. The staff was super attentive and so kind. 10/10. Ordered the shrimp taco, chicken tinga, guacamole and chips, and elote. Everything was wonderful. Only complaint was the corn was bland, but that won't stop me from visiting again. This location is super convenient for those in Midtown. Can't wait to return again soon and try some more items! read more

Completely fed up with being shafted out of parts of my order like 90% of the time. The food is almost always good and consistent. The only thing more consistent is their ability to forget, ignore, short-change, or otherwise blow off whole items and/or the simplest special requests. Witness the last straw - this photo of my $2.50 order of salsa, a 2/3rds empty cup of the red watery dregs at the bottom of the salsa pan near the end of the shift. It takes a LOT for me to write negative reviews, especially of local places. But it's EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. with this place. Hard to imagine it's not some deliberate plot to save money. If so, please, just charge me more! read more

We went in the middle of the afternoon and yet the food and service were top notch! Super friendly people work here and they take pride in this little place and in the food they prepare. We had fried tacos (not your normal hard shelled tacos, but WAY better) with spicy chicken, spicy pork, potato, fried fish (my fave), and regular chicken and also a chicken Huarache, plus the queso fundido con chorizo. It was all delicious and served quickly! read more

There are better street tacos, down the street. The food is "average", but I'm not gonna knock them too hard. It was just something to eat. Not much flavor in the tacos I had. I'll give them another try and order something else, in hopes of getting something that speaks to my tastebuds. ;) read more

Checked this spot out and it was okay. Small, simple spot in the cooper young area.I had fried chicken tacos, which are basically hard shell tacos, dinner guest had steak tacos, It's pretty much like other reviewers said food is bland and that says a lot because I don't like spicy or heavy seasoned food. They could add a little more flavor to improve. read more
