Three trips there in the past week and will be back for more. Hefty burrito with a large choice off adds. Barbacoa was good, but I'm definitely a carne azada guy. Their barbacoa is not cheek meat, though, in case you are a South Texan looking for that authentic Tex-Mex fave. Manager said he was from Veracruz which has a different barbacoa tradition (makes sense - on a trip to Baja they looked at me like I was gonzo asking for cheek meat.) Nice to have a choice between black beans and pintos, though would prefer frijoles. Tamales are firm, not fluffy so I'm thinking they're using real manteca. Larger than the ones we make during our annual Christmas tamalada, so it could be a meal in itself. Place is definitely busy during the lunch period when we've been. Looks like this should make it where Charlies and Butcher Burger did not. As for the earlier whiner re: glossy menus, wow, you are beyond help. read more

Very delicious place to go to if you're wanting burritos and tacos! Similar to chipotle but WAY better! I always judge based on queso too (since I'm from Texas) and for up north theirs was delicious! I would definitely recommend! read more

It's no Cafe Rio, but it is better than all the other casual Mexican food places. I like the variety of meat and all the different choices they have. read more

This is an authentic chipotle. Lol they have fish here! I always get the bowl. I work about 2 min from here. Lots of working professionals at lunch and highschool kids. This area had grown so much. 4 years ago there was nothing here. I recommended this place for a quick take out as it does get full during lunch time. read more

Fantastico! Just visited for the first time. Friendly counter service with several tables to sit. Everything was soooo fresh and delicious. I had a taco salad which I picked all my toppings for. At least 6 choices of meats and tons of options. My husband ordered 3 different tacos. All amazing. Their guacamole was phenomenal. So fresh. We will be back! read more

Counter order. The entire staff is very very helpful and friendly. Very similar to qdoba & chipotle.

Ignore the bad reviews. Every restaurant has its growing pains. I, unlike the other rookies on the block, waited a few months after opening for TM to iron out the kinks. My experience was pleasant. Service was good. Meat, side and sauce selections were plentiful. Place seemed clean. Ambience was as expected. Price was fair. I had the burrito and thought it was comparable to chipotle. If you're looking for fine dining and non glossy menus (seriously?) then avoid this place. If you looking for some good Mexican cheap eats, give this place a shot. read more

Love the quality and taste of the food. Taco Maya is way better tasting than Chipotle and is E. Coli-free.

My son told me about this place and I'm glad he did. I love mexican food. The place is clean, the food was fresh and made to order with huge portions. the staff was very friendly. I go on at least once a week. The best mexican food in the tri-state area hands down. read more

Each time the service was quick . The restaurant is laid out nicely with plenty of booths and tables.

By far the best Mexican food in the area. Go with the carnitas taco. AWESOME. Always fast to so need to worry about taking too long for lunch. read more

Stopped in last night for first time and was very impressed. Reasonable prices. The burrito was excellent. Better than chipotle. Very fresh ingredients. Very authentic and the staff was very welcoming. Really hope this place does well there because it seems other places have struggled at that location, and Dtown/exton/Chester springs could really use a quick Mexican place with good food. read more

Love, love, love the tacos! Taco Maya has very high quality, authentic ingredients and menu, it's my new favorite place for a quick bite!

Awesome.Think Chipotle but more authentic choices, not corporate or hipsterish, and much cheaper!! Super Friendly service, Mexican decor, and fast!! Cannot wait to come back all the time!! read more

I am sooo proud to be the first yelp review of Taco Maya. 2 years later and every time is as good as the first time. Taco Maya put the taco bell next door out of business!!! How cool was it the owner responded to my yelp review? Best red salsa ive ever had and best cheese sauce ever!! read more

Best burritos around. The menu might be a little more expensive than you'd like but the items are very tasty.

UPDATE: I went through and read some of he other reviews so I wanted to give my input. They're an authentic (fast food) Mexican restaurant, and they're amazing at what they do. This is my absolute favorite place to get lunch. (I go here on my break a couple times a week.) The price is totally worth it because of the food quality, the customer service, and the environment. Don't take my word for it though, check it out yourself. read more

Pork tamal. Mayan pork soft taco. Every visit. We eat here regularly. Always good, always clean and enough seating for bigger families :)

Did take out from here last night & can't wait to go back! Husband got a burrito & I got chix quesadillas. Both were delicious! Also loved the homemade chips. The staff is super friendly. Not sure why the bad reviews...one 'yelper' who gave a poor review spoke to the paper menu?!? Come on. read more

Seems like this place gets a lot of good reviews. I must be coming here on the wrong days. The tacos and burritos are very good, chips are so-so. It's kind of pricey too. I payed $15 for 3 tacos, chips and guacamole. Also, it was muy frio in there. read more

Taco Maya is good. After living in SoCal (San Diego) for 5 years I know what a good mexican burrito looks and tastes like and Taco Maya's are a bit on the small side for the high price. Food quality is great though, I'm just used to bigger portion sizes for what I'm paying for. Step it up, guys. read more

Excellent quality food! Better than Chipoltle & Qdoba. All fresh ingredients - The soft & hard shell tortillas are made in-house and are delicious. The prices are decent and they have the option to buy single tacos. Skip chick-fil-a next door and check this place place out. read more

Had to try since I had heard such wonderful things. Was not disappointed! My daughter had a meatless burrito, and I had the cheese quesadillas. Yum, yum, yum!! Similar to Chipotle but so much better! Very fresh, delicious salsa bar, friendly staff, and the owner is so friendly. Feel so good supporting a local business!! We will be back.....often!!! read more

Wow for a local taco place outstanding. Like chipotle for burritos but with more choices. Plus real Mexican stuff like tamales. Service friendly and quick taste really good with different levels of spice. Finally clean and spotless. read more

The food is really good and the prices are fantastic! I'm there several times a month.

This place blows away chipotle. I have been going here off and on since it opened and the quality has been consistently amazing. It gets packed out for lunch but the line is always moving. The number of things you can get on your burrito is amazing. I think I have tried every add on and I haven't found a single one that I didn't enjoy. Taco Maya has the best Barbacoa I have ever had and I would recommend everyone try it. read more

Awesome quick authentic mexican. These guys know how to make a great burrito and it's very quick. Perfect substitute for Chipotle. Way more authentic mexican food here. read more

A 5-star experience from start to finish! The staff was very friendly; my burrito was very fresh and spicy (but there are lots of mild options); and the restaurant was very clean and inviting. I can't wait to try something else next time! read more

Big fan of this place. Go about once a week. People are very friendly and service is quick. Food is excellent. Never had a bad meal. Monster burritos! read more

I love this place. I work at a hotel just around the corner and we frequently order take out for lunch. I haven't been disappointed by anything I've ordered (quesadillas, burritos, taco salads, etc.) and the service is wonderful. I usually come in with a post-it note with 3-4 different orders on it, and I never have to say a word--the owner/manager takes my order sheet and makes sure everything is made efficiently and accurately. Keep it up! :) read more

First time going today and not only were the staff super helpful and lovely, the food was amazing - and very reasonably priced! The meats are so full of flavor and there are lots of toppings to choose from. Will definitely be back again to try more from the menu. read more

The reviews are spot on. The place is very clean, the staff is attentive. Of course, the food is the important part. I had a barbacoa taco and it was very good. However, the chicken quesadilla was off the charts. Most tender, flavorful quesadilla ever. The other thing that was really noticeable, was how fresh everything tasted. Highly recommended! read more

CHEESE and lots of it! My friends and I go here for excellent quesadillas. Lots of options and reasonable prices.

Quick, friendly and good menu selection. I've only ever had take out but there is always plenty of casual seating inside. Similar to chipotle but not as many fresh veggie options. read more

Pretty good. Everything tastes pretty fresh. Their salsa is pretty good, overall look of the restaurant is a little lack luster. Very fast, they had my meal ready in five minutes. Beans and rice are good, beans are a little under-cooked. The soft tacos I had were good. The barbacoa was fantastic, the chicken was kinda bland though. If you want something quick and good for lunch or dinner this place is good. Just don't expect it to be the best thing ever. read more

My oh Maya!! Chester County is holding a gem in Lionville. It's fresh, homemade and superb. The Mayan pork was heaven. Anything below five stars is ludicrous. Green Tomatillo...my goodness. Will be back real soon sports fans. read more

We LOVE Taco Maya! Always friendly fast service. We have eaten there many times and always had delicious fresh food. The burritos are very generous in size and you get salsa and chips with it. Their salsas are all amazing. Love that they have kid sized burritos too! read more

I am surprised by the negative reviews. I really enjoyed it, it was very good. I ordered two soft tacos, one with chicken and the other with carne asada. They were delicious and met my expectations. They were flavored well, not over cooked which can happen with carne asada. The rice and beans that came with it were okay, but I didn't go there for the rice and beans so I wasn't worried about that, they were good enough. I will definitely go back and take my family- I like the choices of meats and fishf and the freshness of everything. It was hard to hear with background noise, but they guy taking my order was patient, moved closer and spoke louder. I look forward to trying other things and think anybody that goes to taco bell over this is crazy! I hope they last since that space hasn't done well for the other restaurants. this one has a different niche though. read more

What a great little gem! I'd seen this place lurking about (it's a little hidden), but the other night we finally stopped in. We've already been back once since, and frankly writing this review today makes me want to go back tonight. Great food, quick and pleasant staff. Quality is WAY better than anything else you can get "fast" and frankly we prefer to a few of the more popular sit down places around. Give it a try. Three of us ate, with drinks, for $24 read more

Since moving to the area a couple of years ago from Atlanta, we have been in search of quality Mexican food! Taco Maya foots that bill without ever disappointing! Like others said the guacamole is amazing!! It doesn't stop there.... the meat choices, Chicken Tortilla soup and salsa's are top notch! Whenever we ask our kids where they want to eat out at...it is always Taco Maya! Keep up the great work, you will always get our business when needing to satisfy our Mexican food fix! read more
