Elotes
Gia G.

This place is super unassuming from the outside, but the food is so good it'll have you ready to dance. We ordered a ton, including the Tuesday taco plate with fries. I got the chicken tinga, steak, and samosa taco. The steak was good but nothing crazy, the chicken tinga was *so* flavorful, and the samosa taco (which was recommended to me) ended up being my favorite. Whatever sauce they put on it was amazing. The fries were surprisingly good too. really well seasoned with a slight kick. We also shared elotes and guac, and both were solid. Honestly, this spot is a strong 4.5/5 and definitely worth checking out. The servers were really nice. Someone had trouble ordering in their food and they helped us out.

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!

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.

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!

We wandered into this location after walking around looking for our next meal, and it turned out to…read morebe an absolute hit. One of the first things that caught my eye--and something I really appreciate--is that they openly list on the wall exactly where today's lobster, shrimp, and crab were sourced from. It's an extra touch. We decided to split a lobster roll meal, which came out perfectly bundled with a drink and a bag of chips. The roll itself was incredible; the bread was beautifully soft and fresh, serving as the perfect vessel for the seafood. I loved that they didn't skimp on the meat, packing the roll with big, satisfying chunks of delicious lobster. While we stuck to the classic meal this time, I noticed they have some really interesting and creative items on the menu that I'm eager to try next, like a lobster roll trio featuring different dressings. To top off a great meal, everyone working behind the counter was incredibly inviting and friendly from the moment we walked in. It's a welcoming, high-quality spot in the middle of the city, perfect for a quick casual bite.

Had their lobster roll with a side of lobster bisque. The bisque could have used a bit more lobster…read moremeat, but it was tasty still. The roll, Was amazing. I actually drizzled some of the bisque onto the roll and it was amazing. Service was professional and fast.

This locale is quick for anyone already in the Loop or near Wacker & Madison…read more I have tried a few times and so far no issues. The food has been fresh and made correctly. This visit was my first time trying a salad from Noodles. I had the med salad with added chicken. Overall, it was tasty. With the combined ingredients I didn't need the dressing. My usual go to's for Noodles is the buttered noodles or mac. I have also tried the chicken parm and the newly added tortellini.

First time trying this fast food sit down place next to the La Quinta Inn. As soon as I walked in I…read morewas looking at the menu. And the staff by the name of Julia looked at me with a smile and said you look like you want a Spicy Korean Beef Noodle?! I don't know if she was being funny or serious with the suggestion. I am Asian and this supposedly was a Italian place. I was taken by surprise by her comment. I begrudgingly went with something else a Rose Rigatoni with chicken parm. My colleagues didn't like how she recommended a specific dish out of all the menu to a specific race that was in front of her. Nonetheless we ordered. The food is what it is. The ambiance is cold like a high school cafeteria. The area where the used plates are returned , are there for the patrons to see. The trash bin is full to the brim and patrons cannot throw the leftovers in the trash. That area can be closed off or put towards the back in a closed area and not for patrons to see. Highly a sanitary concern.
