    Ground beef burrito

    Good portion. Good product. Good price. Open later. Highly recomend. Only here for a few days but this is on par with what we have in the west coast.

    Stopped by Taco Maya for the first time, and wow--what a great find. The tacos were packed with flavor, and the chicken tikka was the standout of the meal. Even the to‑go boxes looked great. I enjoyed the Mexican‑style tacos way more than the American ones. Shoutout to Riddhi for adding chips and salsa to my order. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Chicago.

    Nachos Supreme w/ ground beef

    Came across Taco Maya on DoorDash and was craving Mexican food! Taco Maya has a high rating and nachos were starred as one of the most ordered menu items so let's try it! Ordered the supreme nachos, ground beef, no guacamole...the meat was a tad salty but other than that it's a very big serving (def can share). Also ordered one birria taco which was excellent w/ the consume. I like that you can choose corn or flour tortillas (always choose corn for birria). Would definitely try again!

    Very very good tacos in my opinion, and they came out quick. I really liked the shrimp and chingon tacos. El pastor was okay, not my top choice as it's less juicy. Our server was nice.

    I placed an order at 9:01pm via their mobile app. My sister found this location as it was near our hotel. On their website, they have you get $7 off your first order via the app. When placing the order via the app, the discount did not apply. I called the restaurant and I was told they would manually check that it's my first order and provide a refund. I got the kids chicken quesadilla and fries for my son. I got the 3 taco plate American and Mexican style without lettuce and tomato. One taco was chicken, one was steak, and one was chorizo. I got rice and beans on the side. The order was ready at 9:09pm. I like how they placed the refried beans in a little fried tortilla cup so that it wouldn't be messy and mixed with the other food. More Mexican restaurants should do this! My favorite taco was the steak one. The other two were okay. My son enjoyed his food and the fries were seasoned, which was nice. I stole a few, haha. They have lunch and daily specials throughout the week. I didn't get a change to return as i was on vacation, but I would in the future.

    A friend was visiting Chicago and on a whim we decided tacos were what we wanted for lunch. With zero expectations, we arrived at Taco Maya, and right away, we were pleased with the environment and the cleanliness of the place. It was busy, for lunch hour, because it was a weekday, and yet the service was super quick. Here's a breakdown of everything: The chips and salsa: chips were super crispy, and had a hint of salinity, which is the mark I always look for in a good chip. The salsa was great as well, flavorful without being too spicy, you kept wanting to go back for more. The Birria tacos were a hit with my friend, and she loved the horchata. My shrimp tacos were pretty good too, but nothing to write home about. The chicken taco I got was fantastic, and again, it hit the right spice level without overwhelming the protein. My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas and devoured each bite. The rice was warm and delicious, but the beans were PHENOMENAL, and the little chip cup they come in made all the different because it added the perfect texture to scoop the beans with, or break and eat with. The STAR of my day, and the show, was the Espresso Horchata - I will go back to this place for the espresso horchata alone! Definitely recommend!

    This is a nice casual restaurant to come grab a quick bite. They have an extensive menu and have a lot of different fusion food which I loved. They also give the option of just getting a few small things instead of having to order big platters of food. We had come here as we wanted something light for dinner and this place fit the bill. It didn't look very busy but we realized quickly that they had a lot of to go/take out orders. When we sat down they gave us free chips and salsa and the salsa was very flavorful. My favorite part of the restaurant was that they had a salsa bar! SO many delicious salsas to pick from and mix and match. I loved it! I got the tostada and it was the perfect combination of flavorful and light. My friend got the tacos and she said they were also good. They also seems to have an extensive bar and their margaritas looked amazing! I'd easily come back here. Service was quick and fast.

    We were not about to wait 1 1/2 hours to be seated at a landmark pizza place; so, we were in the area and Yelp reviewers did not disappoint! This little place is a true gem! Brought chips upon arrival and salsa but their salsa bar really rocked!!! Got the Dorado and they were delicious! Nice atmosphere as they had good lighting and friendly staff. A must if you're in the area.

    Taco Maya is getting a rare five-star review. The tacos were excellent and the chips and salsa far exceeded expectations. Service was fast and friendly, but the ordering process was a bit more confusing than necessary. Those dining in order on a smartphone app, but ordering at the counter would be faster and easier. I do like that you pay on the smartphone app, but I'm not impressed with having to tip before I receive my food or service. In a sense this could be considered tipping extortion, because if you don't tip, what are they going to do to your food?

    Wanted something tasty for dessert and came upon this place from IG…read more I ordered the cream soufflé and the matcha float. Both came out in pretty quick time even though it was a busy Saturday evening. Loved the cream soufflé! It was something different that I wanted to try and it wasn't too sweet which was amazing. The soufflé was so fluffy and hot and fresh. The cream inside was sooo good! Everything was well balanced together and the float was also great. Only downside is that it's a really small place. So inside felt very cramped and crowded.

    Kari's Rating 8.5/10…read more TLDR: -Any combination you want is possible -Single bathroom for patrons with Dyson dryer -appreciative of the different drink combinations They had considering I thought it was only Matcha milk tea Came as the first people on a Saturday, although we took 25 minutes to decide what we wanted, the cashier was really good at giving recommendations and she said we were able to do almost any combination mixing match of flavors. We ended up getting the Matcha smoothie with red beans on the bottom, as well as a matcha float with Ube soft serve. My friend got the Matcha smoothie and said the Matcha was a tad bitter, but also a little too much he said that the Matcha and the ice wasn't really well mixed. Therefore it tasted a bit icy, but he agrees the overall flavor was all right, but he probably wouldn't get that if we came back. On the other hand, my Ube and Matcha float was absolutely delicious. I knew I wanted the Ube soft serve over the Matcha soft serve because I'm very picky with my Matcha, but I also didn't want to get Matcha tea as well as the Matcha soft serve as I figured that would be a little bit too much. I would literally come back just for the Uber officer, it was perfectly sweet, but not overly sweet and the texture was extremely creamy and soft, perfect for a hot day. I'll definitely be coming back just to get that and I also appreciate the server, giving us her favorite combinations and suggestions. It was extremely crowded by the time we left the place literally opened at 11:30, so you know the restaurant has a good reputation already in the community! We will definitely come back!

    I recently tried UFOUU, the Chicago-based bakery known for their Japanese-style cheesecakes, and…read moreoverall it was a really a hit for me. I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.

We got here when it just was opening. The place was clean and the staff was really nice. We got the sweet roasted milk and it was very good and unique flavor.

One thing I personally did not like was that they require customers to pay first before the food comes out. For a sit-down restaurant, I prefer to eat first and pay after, especially when service is expected. The service was not very proactive during our visit. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out to me. For the price, I felt it was a little pricey compared to Taipei Cafe, and the overall experience did not feel worth it. Overall, the food was just alright, the service could be improved, and the pay-first system was not something I liked. I don't think I would come back.

The taiwanese style popcorn chicken and pork cutlet were super juicy and tender with nicely crisp breading. The sausage had a pleasant sweetness to it and was served with garlic chips, which added a nice touch. Finally, the broth of the Sichuan noodles was packing with flavor: sweet, tangy, spicy, umami - truly hit all the spots without being too numbing to your mouth, if thats one of your concerns Would definitely return to try the other menu items, especially their hot sizzling plates and their dessert/drink offerings
