Mahedj runs a fine quality Mexican "quick-food" eatery - and it's always surprisingly tasty each time I come.

This place is gross. If you're looking for Mexican food in the area--as I was--don't trust the Yelp reviews. Taco Bell or starving is a better option. The restaurant was completely empty on a Saturday night. Should've been my first clue. When I ordered, I chose to dine in (planned to sit on the patio) and was given a basket of weird looking chips, along with a heated cup of red sauce that tasted like it was meant for a pizza. It was gross. I ordered the steak enchiladas with red mole sauce. As I was paying for my order, I saw the young man working in the back begin preparing it. He grabbed 3 tortillas and then searched through plastic containers of premade content (Taco Bell in a slightly different format). The outside tables were infested with ants. When I got my food, I picked though it, but nothing was appetizing. Don't trust any positive Yelp reviews for this place. And don't go here! read more

Taco Maya - Grilled Steak Enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

Everything depends on who takes your order and who prepares your food. There is ZERO consistency from day to day. When you have a good order taker and a decent cook, it might work out. But other times it is a complete waste of time and money. Twice now they could have cared less about delivering a fresh quality meal. Buh-bye. read more

Take a look at the photo I posted, these tacos are embarrassing! Where's the meat and toppings? I see way too much tortilla here. Last time I'm going to spend $12 on this shit! read more

We enjoyed Taco Maya before our square dance in Medinah. Great food! Good central location. Fabulous enchiladas! Will go there again.

What an awesome establishment! Taco Maya has locations all over; I've been to the Bloomingdale and Rosemont locations and I loved both. First of all the staff here is amazing. Beyond welcoming, hospitable, and hard working. They're so polite and quick! The food is on a whole other level. The chicken tinga tacos, samosa tacos, churros, and loaded fries were phenomenal. I'm still thinking about the fries. One thing I love about this place is it's not just Mexican but also a mix of Indian and American food. Truly the perfect spot for vegetarians, too! The salsa bar is an amazing feature, as well. You already know I'll be back! read more

Taco Maya combines flavorful Mexican food as well as fusion food items from other cultures. Loved the salsa bar offering a variety of red and green salsas. I loved the jalapeno creme..rich and creamy with just the right amount of heat. We shared their Fries A La Mexicana which was their take of nachos except they used waffle fries. Topped with queso,ico de Gallo,jalapenos,guac and sour creme. They offer over 27 different types of tacos! We tried their Chicken Tinga and Veggie Fiesta tacos. Both were fantastic. Served with rice and refried beans. Of course for dessert you have to try their homemade churros topped with caramel and chocolate sauce...yummy. They offer a variety of Margaritas mixed with their own FINO tequila. The House Margarita is delicious and refreshing. I will definitely go back as I have 25 more tacos to try! read more

Here's what I do when dinner time dilemma hits - I go to Yelp and see what's around. And that's exactly how I found Taco Maya. One word - Delicious!! We were going to order 3 separate American style ground beef tacos on corn tortillas, but the friendly cashier at the counter suggested we order the 3 taco plate for just $6 more you also get rice and beans. Great idea! We also placed an order of churros for dessert. The food all tasted so fresh!! Great flavor and textures. The taco plate was great as was the dessert. The Churros were crunchy when you took a bite and it came with a caramel and a chocolate sauce for dipping. They were both good and if I had to pick a favorite, this chocoholic surprisingly chose the caramel! I would definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

It was an extremely humid day. Why not come inside for some tacos? This was my first visit to a Taco Maya. The front of the restaurant is average size, and then they have a back room to hold private events. The bathrooms are single stall, so you may have to wait for them to be available. Here's what I had: Chips and salsa Tacos (chicken and vegetarian), refried beans, and rice Mexican fries (waffle) Churros Guava margarita They had multiple types of salsa. My favorite was the Verde. Overall, my favorite dish was the churros. I was in the back event room, and it did get pretty humid. The tables were close, and it felt we were on top of each other sometimes. The restaurant staff are nice. The head chef puts a lot of passion into his recipes. read more

Went to Taco Maya for the first time last night and the food and vibe was amazing. The chicken tinga taco is so delicious! It's so hard to get tinga right and this place def met my tinga expectations lol For food/drinks: 10/10 -fries a la mexicana: LOVED that they use waffle fries instead of the normal chips for this! Similar to loaded nachos but with fries - super delicious 9/10 - tinga taco: spices were so delicious, really loved it 8/10 - vegetarian fiesta taco: I've never had a vegetarian taco before and surprisingly I didn't "miss" the meat 10/10 - Barbie margarita: was not overly sweet and tasted very fresh! You can taste a difference in their tequila (which one of the owners supplies from her tequila business) and it def elevated the drink IMO 9/10 - churros with caramel and chocolate sauce: not overly sweet and tasted very very fresh! Really loved this dessert The owners and staff and very close and like family and you can definitely see that in how they interact together and make the place so welcoming. Shout out to Patricio for the amazing family recipes and bringing his culture in the kitchen. Food is made with love and you can feel it! So happy I tried out this place and I hope to be back soon to try more of the 27 different tacos they offer. read more

I have never heard of Taco Maya but had the opportunity to try their food tonight and man am I shook at how yummy their food is. It is in a little strip mall with tons of parking outside which is always a plus. You could never have known at how big the place actually is by looking at the outside. They have a party room in the back that can accomodate quite a bit of people where you can have baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays and even office events. I tried the watermelon margarita with tajin and it was pretty darn good and you can certainly taste the tequila. THEIR own brand of tequila which was quite smooth! Definitely a must try. I wish I ordered a straight shot of their own tequila to REALLY taste the alcohol. Always next time. Waffle fries with queso and guac was pretty delicious for an appetizer. Vegetarian taco in flour tortilla was BOMB! Chicken taco in corn tortilla was just ok. A bit dry on both the chicken and the corn tortilla but maybe it's just me since my mind already made up that the vegetarian taco was way better already. Churros....ahhhhh.....I am biased but who doesn't love a warm, fresh, crunchy, sugar coated, with whipped cream drizzled in caramel and chocolate churros. Rice was pretty yummy too but I am Chinese so I LOVE RICE! The menu is just unbelievable! 27 different varieties of tacos. TWENTY SEVEN!!! Anything and everything you can think of. Imma have to come back multiple times just to try them all! read more

Even the chips were seasoned. Quick service too. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner. Place was not too packed. Service was also nice and the quality of the food was great. They were having a deal of buy 2 get the 3rd taco free, so I got two grilled chicken tacos and 1 shrimp tempura taco. As well as a side of rice. Everything was cooked to order. The shrimp tempura was really good it's my go to now. Excited to come back to this location read more

The street tacos were okay. The meat was flavorful but a bit salty. The tortilla was soft and warm. Service was quick and efficient.

Not your normal taco joint. This is very different, and you may notice when you walk in. I got a chance to meet the owner(s) of Taco Maya and realized the cultural diversity of this establishment. It's tacos so you expect Mexico/Mexican to be the culture, but it has Indian influence as well. You may notice that by seeing the 27 different tacos on the menu and realizing that some aren't really Mexican tacos. They have samosa and empanada tacos as well.... giving it that fusion flavor. There's a variety of salsa to try....so it's not just 1 salsa with your chips. The food is very good and with such a large selection I'll have to go back for more. One of the owners also is a co-owner of Fina Tequila. I would consider this to be a sipping tequila. They do have margaritas which are good and made with real juice, and they use Fina Tequila. I mention this because sipping tequila doesn't have that strong alcohol taste that makes you shake your head. When you get your margarita you may wonder if there's any tequila at all, but most likely if you don't taste it that's because of the better quality tequila. Lastly, they do have a party room in the back that you can book for parties or events. You would never realize an extra room was back there. read more

Food looks and tastes AMAZING! Service for a quick sit down spot was beyond what i expected. Having grown up in Southern California, I'm pretty particular about where I get Mexican food and by far, this place is affordable and flavor is delicious! You wont regret coming here for good food, great service, friendly smiles, food delivered to you whether to go or at your table. Video doesn't do this place justice. You have to just come by and try it! read more

We always get our food hot and fresh from Taco Maya. They have the absolute best steak meat around. They're fast for dining out and dining in. The inside is clean and inviting. We love this location read more

I love the variety this place provides to vegetarians. I ordered the paneer burrito and an assortment of tacos. I got the Chili Cauliflower, Falafel, and paneer tacos and I highly recommend all of them. I think the new Chili Cauliflower flavor was one of the highlights of this meal and I plan to go again soon! Check this place out for a great Mexican food experience! read more

I haven't really eaten at this restaurant but I was told it was really good.

It's ice cream covered in Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. read more

Taco Maya - Fried Ice Cream - Mexican Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

Overall (A) This place is really good. Try it. The fusion selections are the best Service (B+) So I was there for an Elite event and I think they were trying there best but were having a tough time keeping up. For both the elite event and for the patrons up front it was taking upwards of 20 minutes between plates of food at the same table. So someone would be done eating before another even got their food...at the same table. Made for awkwardness at the event and some slightly unhappy patrons up front. With some training for situations like these things will be fine. But Everyone is super friendly and nice. They just needed a few more helping hands to make the food. All the staff is extremely friendly and nice. I'm sure if it wasn't an Elite event night then they would have been able to provide "A" or "A+" service. Value (A) It's a good deal. I wish I lived closer so I could take advantage of the $9.99 lunch special - three tacos, rice and beans. Since it was an event my meal was free. But we have been there other times and it's a good value. Did end up buying the awesome Fried Ice Cream which is probably meant to be shared by 3-4 individuals for $7 - great value Quality (A) It's really good. Get the Fries Mexicana when you go for appetizers - it's a unique dish and a crowd favorite. Safe bet for sharing. I am a meat eater and usually only pick meat items on the menu - but the veggie items are really good here - especially the veggie fest taco. Order it - even if you are a meat person. The chicken tinga taco was also really good. The fried ice cream is a must have. Order it! You won't regret it. It's really really really good. Pro Tip - try items that are not what you can get at mainstream or authentic Mexican places. The real unlock for Taco Mayo is the ability to create fusion tastes - those are the best tacos. read more

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend my first Yelp Elite event at Taco Maya. Great food and great conversation with other Yelpers. Fascinating conversation with so many people. The event was held in their back room which had about 50 of us. It's a great space for a special event. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They created a very festive environment. I'll cut to the chase. The food is awesome. Their tacos have got to be the best I've ever had. And I have had a lot of tacos! We were served the chicken tinga taco which had some great flavor and a little kick of spiciness. Their veggie fiesta taco blew my mind. So fresh and great textures! On either side of the main course, we had chips and a variety of salsas which were great. We also were served at our table a serving of Fries A La Mexicana, waffle fries loaded with wonderful toppings. On the other side of the meal, the dessert was a caramel-filled churro with chocolate sauce and honey. Killer! Not to be outdone, their fresh margaritas were superb. Made with fresh juices and their premium home brand of tequila, they were light and refreshing. After the event, I brought home 3 other tacos for my wife that she raved over. Their shrimp taco, samosa taco, and signature taco were eaten with a voracity that I've not seen before. Did I mention their salsa bar? They have a great variety to please any pallet. Go check out their extensive menu and get over there sooner than later. read more

Every time I go to Tacomaya I usually go to the Schaumburg location but this one is a little closer to where I was today so I ended up trying this one. Still the same grade everything. Great tacos, great vibes and fast service. I crave these dorado tacos so much it's sickening because I don't live close to the locations but trust I will drive to them. Everything seems fresh always and good quality meats. One thing that bothered me but doesn't really matter when I was going to leave, I wanted to order a steak burrito bowl to go but they ran out of rice after I had already ordered it to go when I was done eating. At that point I really didn't need it. I just wanted to eat it later lol! But overall amazing experience. MUST TRY read more

This is my go-to taco place in Chicago. There used to be a time when I was ordering daily. Love both takeaway and dine-in. The advantage of dine-in is complimentary tortilla chips and salsa, and more options for sauces. As a vegetarian, there's a decent amount of dishes on the menu. I have tried almost every vegetarian option on the menu. Among appetizers, tacos, and Burritos, I loved the tacos. Their Nashville hot cauliflower and Samosa tacos are the best and a must-try. Paneer, Potato and Chilli Relnos tacos are decent but not excellent. The burrito wrap is scrumptious and love their churros. Very delicious. Been to the Downtown location and Downers Grove. Both the locations are well maintained. Overall, it's a must-try taco place when you're in Chicago read more

Great service even gave free drinks and amazing food i definitely recommend here. It is great food also.

Food was okay. Service was adequate. Spanish rice was way too spicy for my taste. Margaritas weren't real strong. Couldn't hardly taste the tequila. read more

It was my first time here today, and I am blown away. I was apart of a private event in the Maya Room, so I had the privilege of hearing from the team here. I love their commitment towards those who are vegetarian, with separate fryers and grills dedicated to those dishes to prevent cross contamination. I also love their margaritas -- they use fresh fruit juice, and they have their own branded tequila. You know it's good quality when it goes down smoothly. The spicy pineapple margarita was perfect for me, gave me a bit of a kick to it but not too spicy. The food was so good I ended up ordering a few things to go to share the experience with my partner. They tried the veggie chorizo burrito, a chicken tinga taco and a veggie fiesta taco and loved the meal. I'm looking forward to coming back and checking out their other locations as well. This location has plenty of free parking on premise, plenty of chairs and tables to have your food freshly made to order, and their menu truly has something for everyone with over 27 varieties of tacos to choose from. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for Mexican cuisine, and you'll have to come here to see for yourself. They have specials on Taco Tuesdays as well as a lunch special. read more

I can't wait to return and try more flavors! read more

Delicious veggie burrito with delightfully spicy habanero salsa! It was the perfect size and the flavors were on point!!

My second favorite taco place! One of the big reasons I really like this place is because it's authentic Mexican food and the chicken is zabiha halal! The employees are super nice too! They have a variety of things on the menu but I feel like the 2 taco plate is so filling! After you order you get salsa and seasoned chips! The sauce bar is self serve! I highly recommend the avocado sauce and habenero sauce! They make the tacos pretty quickly too! The space is pretty big and they have more chairs in the back which I recently found out about! This is my def go to taco place! read more

Really well put together event and my first Yelp Elite event, so for it to be tacos it seemed like a God send due to my connection to the Mexican culture. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the flavors of the tacos I could tell were very thought out. I'm looking forward to attending on my own when I can try tacos that are normally in my wheel house of preference as veggie and chicken are never my go to. The event space was gorgeous and I hope to book an event soon. Thank you Taco Maya!! read more

Online ordering lacks a few items only available over the phone or in person. Tamales are one of those items. We recently tried a few of their tacos and tamales. The chicken tikka taco has about 4 small pieces of chicken in one taco and maybe 6 in another. They were basically empty. The paneer tacos lacked favor. Service is great as the staff is very friendly but the cost of their food doesn't warrant the quality of quantity. read more

Exceptional service great food! The meal was packaged with care and everything was fresh and good

Taco-bout delicious! I was recently here for dinner with a friend on Taco Thursday. That's a thing, by the way. We really enjoyed our experience at this upscale, yet laid back Mexican restaurant. You start at the counter to order your food, receive a number for your table and the food magically appears shortly after you sit down. What could be better? I am OBSESSED with enchiladas (almost as much as tacos), so I figured for my first visit this would be a good test. Taco Maya passed with flying colors; their enchiladas are really awesome!! I couldn't decide on roja or verde sauce, so I got both! Say whaa?! Yep. Totally an option. The rice and beans were super delicious too! You get a choice to black beans (nothing special) or the traditional refried beans (yum!). We also split a side of elotes which was really good, but I prefer charred corn. I was stuffed like an enchilada after my meal otherwise I would have tried their fried ice cream because it looks absolutely delicious! I think that's a two person dessert too. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

First time here! This spot's been on my radar for a while, especially since I used to work down the street. Came with a friend Friday night, she got the steak torta and Elotes, I got the 3 tacos plate with Dorado (fish) Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and added a barbacoa taco as well. We also got Margaritas, she did a frozen peach, and I got the house regular. Took a long while to get our food and even longer to get our drinks, it was a Friday night and they were pretty busy around 8 when we arrived. The Elotes were great, the complimentary chips and salsa were great too. My tacos were barely warm, and not very flavorful to be honest, disappointing because they look great in pics. The rice was bland and so were the black beans (should've gotten the refried) After we finished we ordered another round of Margaritas when the girl who took our order came by some hour or so later to check on us after the dinner rush cleared out. We never got our drinks as she went on break and never our order in. Got up and re ordered. The regular house margarita I got wasn't good so I got a frozen peach like my friend did. Much better. A little light on the alcohol though... Also got the tres leches cake, that was VERY good. Definitely recommend. The horchata I got also wasn't anything noteworthy, sadly. Overall this place is a nice fast casual Taqueria that's in a busy neighborhood and sees a lot of traffic, better than some Mexican joints but as much as it pains me to say, I'd rather have just gone to chipotle's for 90% of the flavors I got and half the price. 2.5/5 read more

First time coming here tonight and the food did not disappoint! I got a carnitas, chorizo, and al pastor taco and basically cleaned my entire plate. My favorite was the chorizo taco, but all were delicious. Price was average to what I expect for 3 tacos, rice, and beans. Next time, I would probably just do 3 tacos since I felt super full after. I liked how they had multiple choices of salsas/sauces and sampled a few. They gave some warmed up tortilla chips so I was able to test them out before using some on my tacos. I ended up being basic and using salsa verde on them, but the ones I tried were all great (jalapeño, salsa verde, and avocado). The staff was super friendly and helpful. I felt very welcomed to dine in there. 5/5 - I recommend coming here and will be coming back to this, or their other locations, to try their other menu items! read more
