    2 Taco Plate*
    John O.

    What a find! Being from Southern California, I have had a lot of great Mexican food and I am leery of trying it in places far from Mexico. This place is a fusion of mostly Mexican food with some creative international spins on things like chicken tikka, Korean beef and Nashville hot chicken tacos. From the chips and various salsas to the mains and sides, this place delivers on flavor! It's a fairly small space that fills up with people. You can order at the counter or through the kiosk and they deliver the food to your table.

    Unique fusion of Indian and Mexican flavors. Tried the tikka chicken and spicy potato tacos which were a little dry but the loaded waffle fries were amazing.

    Taco Maya was the perfect little spot to grab some really good tacos and reprieve from the outside heat on a recent visit to Chicago. Like most places in the city there isn't much parking but they do have a surface lot that offered several spots. The inside is cute and simply decorated and the team member that greeted us was patient as we asked questions and made our selections. We decided on the pork carnitas tacos, Al pastor tacos, queso blanco dip, a modelo, and a spicy jalapeño margarita. Let me first start off my saying I am now team Spicy Marg!!! Omg so good! The carnitas were perfectly flavorful without being dry and the pastor meat was properly marinated with the right touch of sweet, each perfectly accompanied with lime juice. There was no need for sauce although they have many to choose from. We also had their cheese dip and chips and salsa. The chips are seasoned and quite tasty and the salsa is served warm which was different, not bad just different. All and all, I'd visit Taco Maya again for a quick bite that is flavorful and doesn't weigh you down!

    I've been to their South Loop location and was happy to see they now have a Lincoln Park location! I highly encourage to dine in because they have an awesome sauce bar! Love me all the sauces! It's free and you help yourself. Perfect for someone who likes mild and someone who likes the painful spicy! The place is probably the cleanest and nice decorated fast food taco place you'll ever find. I order the 3 taco dinner with rice. The steak was a bit dry otherwise it was tasty with the Mexican and American toppings plus their sauces. The rice needed more flavor! Almost tasted like plain white rice. I'll come back because of that sauce bar and the convenient of getting here.

    the tacos were great, awesome variety. 
 rice and beans? forgettable tho

    Have done delivery a couple times now. Chips and Salsa were good, like the salsa with a good mix of spicy and smoky Rice & Beans were not good, I never end up eating them even though they come with the three taco order Tacos - Chingon is amazing, so good, awesome - Nolito - good fish taco, nice slice of avo in there too - Steak - good but not great, kinda standard Will definitely order again!

    The corn tortillas were so soft and delicious! The plate was presented beautifully and everything tasted fresh. I did not like the ground beef it was greasy but the carnitas was juicy. All the sauces were flavorful and I love how they give you complimentary warm salsa, warm chips. They also offer free refills on all the fountain and horchata/hibiscus tea. The prices at Taco Maya are affordable, my total was $20.42 with tip included. Great Customer Service as well, and clean restaurant.

    We've got a new favorite taco spot in in town! My husband placed an order online for pick up, and on the car ride over they actually gave us a call to ask for clarification on the order. This was such a nice touch, and showed they really care about giving customers the best experience possible. Our order was packaged nicely and everything was still fresh by the time we got home. I ordered two chicken tinga tacos and a quesadilla. On the quesadilla, I added grilled veggies and fresh jalapenos. Everything was so fresh!! I love the ability to customize your order (corn vs flour tortillas, taco toppings, etc). For my husband who's a cilantro hater....this is really great. The chicken tinga tacos were nicely marinated, juicy, and fresh! We've already ordered for pick up again since our first visit. We are obsessed!! If you're in the neighborhood, definitely give Taco Maya a try. The tacos are so fresh and there is something for everyone!

    Taco maya was not very crowded, leaving low expectations. Their food and service far surpassed this low bar. We ordered the taco dinner with el pastor tacos and an extra chicken taco. The el pastor tacos were very well seasoned and juicy. The chicken was a bit drier but still very good. They have a sauce bar with several sauces to select from which you can use to enhance the flavors. The place was clean and decorated- very cute. We let the staff borrow a lighter for a birthday cake candle and in return they gave us a 15 dollar gift card which was over generous. Would like to return to try some of the margaritas!

    I've been a long time fan of the suburban location, so I am thrilled that Taco Maya now so close to me. Samosa taco- perf Paneer taco- perf Shrimp tempura taco- perf They are the best Indian fusion restaurant I've been to. The best paneer. The best torta. It's a total package. We gotta have a yelp elite event here!!

    I'm done with Big Star, totally over El Palmar, and won't be giving Taco Bell another look. Taco Maya has totally stolen my heart. I first had their tacos cold after my wife brought them home to me. I was ravenously hungry and the tacos were unbelievably good- but I had assumed it was my starved brain tricking me, so a week later we gave it another shot- this time fresh. I am very pleased to say it was even better the second time around. Each time I had the grilled chicken tacos American style and the ground beef tacos American style. Couldn't be happier. It's my new favorite- without a doubt. Also the employees are nice as heck and I just can't believe this place isn't on everybody's radar (yet)! The only downside is they aren't close to my home- and the Ashland location is a little tricky to get in to. No matter- it's worth the effort.

    Thank you Yelpers for putting this gem on my radar! Went on a Tuesday for lunch and got the buy two tacos get one free deal. My paneer taco, samosa taco and the signature taco came out to only $11. What a great lunch steal! The samosa taco is outstanding! In one bite you get the crunchy samosa shell and a delightfully acidic, semi sweet creamy sauce wrapped in a soft corn tortilla. I could eat 10 of these. Next fave was the signature taco which is any meat lovers dream! It was overflowing with steak and sprinkled with bacon and pineapple bits with a creamy sauce. Least fave was the paneer taco but only because it was mostly blocks of cheese and I wish it came with more veggies. I will be back for more weekly specials and can't wait to try the espresso horchata which was sold out.

    We absolutely loved trying this place. It felt incredibly exclusive, almost like a hidden gem…read moretucked away from everything else. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the service was exceptional, attentive, welcoming, and seamless. The drinks were amazing, and every dish we had was truly exquisite. Calling it Michelin-star quality almost feels like an understatement. Everything was crafted with such care and precision. To top it all off, we even got to see the chef, who took a moment to say hello.. it made the experience feel even more special and personal. We'll definitely be back.

    Stopped in on a Friday night and so happy we did! This place is hidden in the back through Frontera…read moregrill, down some stairs, but what a great find. We were lucky to come for happy hour and enjoyed every food option on the menu short list (yum croquettes, chicken and the chefs special taco!) as well as a strawberry margarita and Mezcal old fashioned. Flavors were fantastic and the margarita was not too sweet. Finished off with pulpo (what a fun, tender yet crunchy take!), bone marrow (so decadent and relatively large portion with crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside bread), and ceviche (I think it had sesame oil? What a delight). Not a surprise, since I've always loved chef Rick Bayless, and chef Jackie is great as well. Came with two kiddos and they were very accommodating with kids menu and coloring options.
