My birria was not crispy and the consommé was too salty. The kids meal was great, he liked the fries and picked at the taco.

Visiting Chicago for the weekend I wanted to try something new and Taco Mayo was close to the hotel and easy accessible late at night . I wanted something good but not too heavy , so I got a kid's chicken burrito meal and including a drink ( I got horchata) and it was all delicious and fresh . Will definitely come here again. read more

This location is the worst. 2 stars because the signature taco flavor always slaps, but we've given them 3 chances and they just don't match south loop location. For starters: 1. They upcharge everything- in store and especially on food delivery apps. We're talking a whole $3 difference for their queso online vs in store 2. The times we have ordered from food delivery they've messed up every order. 3. They skimp on toppings- online and in store. I counted 5 cubes of steak on my signature taco (see pic). South loop location would never. read more

was looking for a lunch place and discovers this neighborhood gem! walking in the ambiance was nice and the service was great. I was greeted immediately and went to place my order to go.

I am so glad I got myself to give this a go!! Best tacos I've had in a while. We arrived and appreciated the plentiful seating both inside and out. This can easily accommodate patrons even during a rush. The menu was updated to add a few fusion style tacos and I was very excited to try the samosa tacos. I also got the Nashville Hot Cauliflower Taco and added a basket of fries! I couldn't even stop to breathe! The tacos were very flavorful and the taco held up to the last bite. The tortilla chips were warm and delicious and the toasted salsa was insanely delicious. I almost did it all over again after I finished! It seems they introduce new tacos every once in a while and I would definitely stop by if I'm the area to try some faves and see what's new. read more

Taco Maya is a delicious fast casual/order at the counter kind of restaurant. We stopped by after walking around the area and was wonderfully surprised at how delicious our food was! The staff here were so nice and checked in on us to make sure everything was good! I had the grilled steak tacos and an order of the elotes. Both steak tacos were delicious (and surprisingly decently portioned). Will definitely come back if we are ever in the area again! read more

Paneer tacos oh my god what an amazing idea. Very flavorful and tastes great. Open late so this was a blessing to find close to my hotel after many flights delays and flight diversions. I also got the Nashville hot cauliflower taco which was also really good - I didn't see this on the menu but the man at the counter was listing off the veggie taco options for me when I asked. I love that there are many vegetarian options which is hard to find in my experience. Also the vibe inside was fun. Could be a dance party with all the Latin music. read more

I ordered delivery on Uber Eats. Overall, it was really good. The meat wasn't too dry on the tacos. I liked the Fiesta Cup Refried Beans. It's a clever way to be eco-friendly and not use a mini plastic cup. However, I do have one complaint. The queso and chips are about $12. The salsa and chips are about $5. They come with the same amount of chips. For $12, I expected it to be fantastic queso. It's worth maybe $4. It's very liquidy and pretty bland. And I like bland... so if I think it's bland, then that's very bland. For the churros, I wish they didn't have the filling on the inside. I also wish there was more sugar/cinnamon on them. It was very light and unevenly applied. read more

Late night (10pm) food stop. Food was good, tostada and queso dip. Not enough staff at the time.

I was introduced to this restuarant by attending a yelp event and oh boy when i tell you I am glad I was invited and attended. The Food was delicious and well prepared. The Ambiance was perfect with a musician on site and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I had a margarita flight and it was so inspiring, they all were delicious. I have been back twice for lunch and plan to keep coming. love love love this place read more

Taco Maya is local gem for street tacos with a little international flair. I just learned that they are expanding to their 10th location. But I've only been to the Ohio St locale for dining in. For me it's all about options, flour taco shells and a good a** horchata. Taco Maya has all three. I have my staple the grilled steak but each visit I have attempted to test my palate. On my most recent visit a special event for Yelpers I sampled the pork belly. Hmm hmm good. The flavor and texture were just perfect. A little sweet with a lot of savory after bites. Everything is cooked fresh to order but the wait is never too long. The staff are always so friendly. I've had the pleasure to dine in 2x and pick up take out a few more. Did I say I love their Horchata? No really the first time I dined in I thought they may say "ma'am there are no unlimited refills. " It was that good. Parking is street meter if lucky to grab a spot but if on foot it is a short distance from public transportation on Clark or State streets at Ohio. Dine in or pickup I find the quality and presentation remains great quality so check out this local biz. read more

it's eh. they give free chips and salsa and there is a salsa bar where you can get your own salsa but the tacos were just okay. the flavor wasn't too good and they forgot some toppings on my taco. service was fast though read more

I stopped at this spot on an early Sunday morning after a night out at the bars. It was perfect! Ordered two chicken tinga and two steak tacos. They were good, hit the spot! I also got a drink and with tip paid about $30 for the whole meal. I think I liked these tacos a bit better than Zombie tacos just around the corner if you're looking for a comparison. Both are worthy but this spot has a little bit better flavor. read more

I kept seeing the place passing by taking the dog out on walks and so I had to try the food. I placed the order online easily enough but somehow managed to order flour tortillas instead or corn. They were still delicious and had great flavor. I got the Signature Taco, Dorado, and Chingon. Service was quick and friendly. I appreciate the creativity and would like to come back and try more items. read more

Fantastic place! Food was delicious. Not too salty. Great salsa bar to choose salsa from. Service was friendly. We did dine in and was immediately offered a basket of chips and salsa. Got the 3 tacos plate (chose the shrimp, paneer, grilled steak tacos) and all 3 were good (steak was a bit dry). The guac was good. Only feedback I'd give the restaurant is for better napkins as the thin single ply little napkins didn't quite suffice Rid and Amees were friendly and great! Definitely coming back to try other items! read more

Taco maya is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in Chicago! The food is immaculate, good prices, great portions, and absolutely delicious! In my last visit, I got the paneer enchiladas and they were SO GOOD, but the portions are definitely big so I had some leftovers! The paneer taco was insanely good too if you want something smaller! In the beginning, they give you a complimentary basket of chips and offer an assortment of salsas you can take to eat the chips with which is one of my favorite parts about taco maya! Will keep coming back indefinitely! read more

Great casual spot for tacos! Plus you get free chips and salsa (they also have a salsa bar) that are good! I really like their veggie tacos - I've tried the veggie and falafel (special) tacos on corn tortillas and loved both of them. I've also tried the fish and chicken tacos but prefer the veggie ones. Their drinks are great and service is good. Definitely recommend! read more

Delicious food, creative takes on tacos and they do Indian food well! I liked the samosa taco and chicken tikka taco. Salsas are good and trying them all is best in person! Would recommend getting at least 3 tacos read more

I've been to the Logan square location and this one is better, in my opinion. Not only is this one a lot more spacious, but it also has a sauce bar. You order at the counter and then someone brings your food to your table. You get complimentary salsa and chips, but the salsa comes hot which I'm not a fan of. I got lengua (tongue) tacos and my boyfriend the ground beef torta. The lengua had a different texture than others I've tried before, but they were still good. read more

Found this place for some late night tacos, and let me tell you such a vibe! Perfect spot when most places are closed and you're hungry. I will say that although they aren't authentic Mexican tacos they were still fire! My favorite thing about the place is they had their own free little salsa bar and you can try all of their salsas! Not bad right ? The avocado salsa was the winner for my taste buds. I chose 3 tacos shrimp, dorado, and steak. The shrimp tacos were my favorite out of all 3. Obviously I always have room left for something sweet so we tried the churros! All that was missing was the ice cream and I would have felt like I was at heaven lol check this cute little spot out read more

After a long day at work I was starving, and this place was still open with pretty good review so I took the bait. So glad I did, great ambience they even had Pibb which is so hard to find these days! On the expensive side for the 2 meals I got fajitas and a quesadilla it was 40$ but as soon as I but into the queasdilla I was not disappointed it was one of the best I'd had. Not only that but they plated everything in a way that was very pretty! It was a great place to eat and relax read more

Stopped in for a late dinner on a Tuesday night. I was pleasantly pleased to see that they celebrated "Taco Tuesday" by giving a free taco with the purchase of two tacos. I definitely participated in that deal! The tacos were fresh and delicious. Also, I was pleased to find some white cheese dip here - it proved difficult until that point. It was not all I had hoped, but it was ok. read more

Taco Maya is a casual spot with interesting and unique tacos. They have a handful of vegan and vegetarian options. I got the samosa taco for $4. They served our tacos with complimentary chips and salsa and also had a sauce station with avocado salsa, salsa verde, etc. Open til 2am Thursday-Saturday so my friend and I were able to get tacos after a night out in River North! Overall, perfect late night food, or a quick cheap meal anytime of the day. read more

Give this place some more time to work out their kinks and attitude, but until then just know what you're getting into. Living in River North I've come to expect overpriced food, but being a "fast casual" restaurant I was a bit shocked at what this cost given the size and quality. The amount of chips in the chips and guac order was enough for a toddler. I was actually a bit surprised but I guess I'm used to Supersize Me portions. My burrito came incorrect, no big deal, but when we went to get it corrected the staff seemed offended. It was the same lady that took our order so maybe she took it personally, but I shouldn't be made to feel badly if my order came out wrong. Food is actually tasty overall although in Chicago you have to offer us more than good food to become a win. read more
