    Complimentary chips & salsa. Chips were over seasoned but salsa was warm and tasty.
    Bertha C.

    This taco spot has the cutest decor which makes you feel like you're somewhere nicer and warmer than Illinois. I like that they serve you complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was warm and tasty however the chips were overly seasoned with what looked like seasoned salt. I ordered the two taco plate and a drink and so did my Mom. Their grilled chicken taco was good just a little dry but having their self serve salsa bar helped! Their carnitas were decent even though there weren't cooked well done as requested. Their rice was just ok and the amount of beans they served was very little compared to the rice. I tried quite a few of their salsas. Their mild avocado one was very runny and tasted like water. My favorite was the salsa verde. My Mom liked the jalapeño one the best. Overall, the meal we had was kind of pricy at over $40. I might go back but only if I make it during their lunch special hours of 11-3 so that the price I pay feels like it matches more of the quality I receive.

    The space is warm, welcoming, and very clean, with plenty of room to dine comfortably. There's a steady flow of customers both for dine-in and carryout, which is always a good sign. I tried the cauliflower tacos and the chorizo--both were flavorful and delicious. The salsa is fresh and served warm, and I really appreciated the salsa/taco sauce bar. Every sauce was tasty without being overly spicy, and the bar itself is well maintained--never messy. Overall, a fantastic spot for great tacos in a pleasant environment.

    I decided to get the signature torta and fried ice cream on this past visit. The signature torta is a good size especially when you get it with the meal. The bread was soft but not soggy. Generous amount of meat inside. The fried ice cream was not too sweet, you eat the ice cream with that bread underneath. The fried ice cream itself has a nice texture. It doesn't melt right away like regular ice cream.

    Cauliflower Taco amd elote! Amazing chefs kiss !!

    Best Al Pastor tacos in the Chicago Area. Have tried them at multiple locations and they're consistently delicious regardless of which location i visit.

    Steak Tacos and steak burritos were excellent. Fast service. Open late. Eclectic Korean tacos were surprisingly tasty.

    Chicken Tamales $4 tasty but dry with thick corn meal, used salsa bar to remedy

    3rd visit each time service is less delightful; tasty chai tea is only $1 but it is also maybe 6-8 oz; salsa bar is nice feature so you can turn the heat up to suit your palate

    Great food! Great prices and clean establishment! We stopped by around 8 pm on a Thursday and it was empty, which should not be the case! The food is amazing quality! And the free chips and salsa is a great touch. Dare I say their burrito bowl is better than chipotle! Highly recommend!!

    Delicious food, great service! I ordered three tacos (chicken, steak and Nashville hot chicken) and all of them were great.

    This is the 3rd Taco Maya location I've been to and I'm here for it! The food tastes the same at every location and it DOES NOT disappoint. I had my usual shrimp and signature taco, while my daughter enjoyed her steak. Literally everything tasted the same which is great quality control on the owners part. I would definitely not call this an authentic joint, but it's not a chipotle either. Their tacos are different and in a great way. I can't seem to venture out to the other tacos, though I've had friends who've had the pork belly and several other and they are equally as good. You get what you pay for. They are not small tacos and their produce tastes really fresh. And as same with the other taco mayas, it is clean and have really great service. Whenever I've walked into one, I'm always greeted nicely by the workers and even noticed that the workers make a concerted effort to say goodbye to people leaving. My only complaint is that their menu is so large that it's hard to see in their screen, wish they had some paper menus. Otherwise would definitely recommend and will keep coming back.

    Warm Salsa and Chips
    David M.

    1st time here. Got the lunch special 3 tacos for 9.99. Comes with chips and warm tomato based salsa of you dine in. The salsa was ok. The chips were tasty, they have some type of seasoning on them that's interesting. The special comes with rice and beans and they were standard. As for the tacos they were nicely prepared. Overall it was ok. Will try different tacos and update.

    Messy tacos. This is supposed to be 3 steak tacos. $17 for just these three to be thrown in a box like dog food
    Alixx C.

    This is what $17 gets you. 3 "filet mignon" tacos which when I asked for steak, I knew they'd be hire priced but did you see how they slapped these tiny tacos in a bag? Been wanting to try this place. The tacos had ok flavor but $17 for three tacos with nothing else ?? Seriously and the presentation ? Never again. Look at how that one taco is completely upside down with the few pieces of meat all in the box. Yup. Great looks like dog food they way they were thrown in there

    Tacos birria
    Mick N.

    Best service ever!! Food was delicious as well. I was being a picky customer due to diet restrictions and they were nice enough to fix my dish to my liking and would not accept my pay. I am definitely coming back and the ambiance was very cozy.

I ordered a three taco meal, elote, and a large horchata. Go to pay and the guy presses the button real quick on the pay screen. I didn't think much of the total going from $27 to almost $29 until I got the receipt and saw that was a tip that I did not authorize I didn't know until after I got my receipt that button that he pressed added a tip on there without me even approving that and I never pay a tip when I order at the counter because they're simply doing their job OK so beyond that which is kind of BS I asked for a cup of water also and like anotheranother review, I got a cup of water with no lid on it and noice, I did drink it all Went back up to refill the water and he said you already got a cup of water you can't get another one. I'm thinking is this guy serious. I just spent $29 here and they can't give me some tapwater. OK there's a water fountain over by the washrooms and that's where I got the water from I did order a drink, but I also like to have water with my meal Cheap And the food tastes considerably different from the last time that I was here, barely eatable and the forced unauthorized tip and the comment about the water I will not return

I like that it has a combination of Mexican food and there are also some American type dishes (hamburgers, club sandwiches). Huge bonus - they serve Micheladas, Chilaquiles and Café de Olla.

    Came here for the first time after noticing this spot on Archer, and we came in with breakfast on…read moreour minds. It was around 11am on a random Sunday and about half full, which made for a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Right away, the service stood out. Our waitress was super attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. For drinks, I ordered a regular coffee and my significant other got the "Vitamin C" smoothie. The coffee comes in a surprisingly large mug and is refillable, which is a nice bonus. Because of that, I skipped the café de olla, but honestly I'd recommend trying it if you're not planning on refills. The smoothie was great--smooth, refreshing, and only mildly sweet. For food, we ordered the green chilaquiles, chicken enchiladas with red sauce, and the churro pancakes. The food did take about 30-45 minutes to come out, but everything arrived fresh. The chilaquiles were served with black beans, cilantro lime rice, and two eggs, topped with onions, sour cream, and cheese. The beans had a slight grilled flavor but were a bit mild overall. The rice, on the other hand, was light, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned with cilantro--definitely a highlight. The chilaquiles themselves were flavorful with just a slight kick from the salsa; I just wish they had a bit more onion for extra texture. The chicken enchiladas were excellent. Honestly the standout savory dish. Everything about them was well-balanced and cooked perfectly. Now the real star, the churro pancakes. These were amazing. You get a stack of four pancakes topped with a pecan sauce and served with two churros on the side. The pancakes are definitely on the sweeter side, but in the best way possible. The churros themselves were fantastic, honestly better than Xurro Factory in my opinion. Overall, this place really impressed me. The vibe is immaculate, blending Hispanic culture with a modern twist, and the food and service back it up. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and would be a great spot to take family, friends, and even a date.
