The paneer fajitas and Mexican pizza were delicious. It's a cute restaurant spot that's very close to the airport that makes it easy for travelers to grab a quick bite. The service was great! read more

Solid Mexican place with delicious food and decent service. I thought the salsa bar was kind of cool and the place itself has the most beautiful murals. You can order at the front or on an app at the table. They don't have servers/waiters. They also have a drink bar and free refills which was great. Plenty of free parking. Food was yummy and very filing. Great portions and good price point. I love the to-go bags too! Minus one star- wish there were paper towels in the bathrooms. read more

Owner was obnoxious. First she rushed us out of the restaurant. Second, when walking out she said " I'm going to need your glass even though I was nowhere near the door. Not the way you treat customers. read more

Can I just say that I love this place for a quick dine in or pick up meal? So many options (tortas, burritos, salads, enchiladas, tacos, and more) and fresh every time! Lately I've been getting a shrimp taco or a taco salad, and it's hit the spot. When you dine in, you receive a complimentary basket of chips and salsa. My kids either go with a quesadilla or chicken tenders meal or a carnitas or steak torta. Can I just also say that I love all the protein options: chorizo, steak, chicken, fish, shrimp, Korean beef, etc? Bonus: margaritas and beer served here too! read more

Ordered takeout tonight from Taco Maya and I really enjoyed it. It was packaged up very nicely with the grilled chicken tacos in one box and the rice & refried beans in another. I ordered the taco dinner with avocado salsa and salsa verde. The ingredients were fresh and I liked the way they put the refried beans into a small container made of a tortilla chip. Will definitely order from here again! read more

I love Taco Maya! These are my favorite tacos hands down. They've got some of the most unique and delicious combinations and they execute them perfectly every time. The complementary chips are some of the best you can get and with the salsa bar you could fill up on those alone. This time I had the Cajun shrimp, chingon, and the Korean beef. They were all fantastic! I always get a shrimp option when I come, they do shrimp tacos much better than other local spots. Always fresh and juicy, I'm never disappointed. The price point... was always reasonable. However, they now have some tacos over 5 bucks which is just too much. I get it, everything is more expensive but I just struggle with a single taco costing that much, even if it's fancy. The more traditional tacos are still very reasonably priced and will satisfy your cravings without the pain to your wallet. read more

SCRUMPTIOUS vegetarian tacos and such nice people. my favorite place to go when i get paid

Wow. Lunch there was so good. Very unique fusion options. Birria taco was delicious. The churros with two sauces (chocolate and caramel) were fun, as well. The salsa bar is an added bonus. I will be coming back. read more

I love this place. I love that their Horchata is refillable. I love their shrimp tacos and cant get enough of it. Shrimp is grilled instead of fried which i like. I also heard good things about their Dorado which is their fish tacos. Service was great. Lots of parking available Its also a simple fast food place to hang out with friends and chat the night away. And pkus they are open late. Will keep coming back! Happy Eating! read more

Another family favorite. This time I remembered to take at least some pics. After you order they will give you complimentary chips & salsa for the table. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the complimentary salsa bar, featuring 5-6 salsa options ranging in heat levels, along with limes, and pickled jalapeños and vegetables. My daughter particularly enjoys the Masala fries with ketchup for that sweet and spicy taste. I have enjoyed every taco I've tried so far, but this time I tried the chicken Tikka and Nashville hot tacos. I especially enjoyed the Mexican fried this time. No dessert this time but it's still one of the best spots for fried ice cream! read more

Stopped by before a concert at Allstate for a quick bite to eat.Was so happy we found this gem of a restaurant. Food was fast and amazing! Service was friendly as was everyone we can in contact with during our dine. Definitely a place to head to before an event at Allstate or whenever in the area. Add a few more minutes to your plans and you will not be disappointed. Cute little area outside satisfied our Al fresco dining heart before the Midwest cold settled in! Inside was incredible as well read more

I have reviewed this place before but it was definitely better this time! We stopped by here for a quick dinner. I opted for 3 tacos and all of them were spot on. They took awhile to come out and the place wasn't that busy but the taste made up for it. I love the salsa bar they have on the side. Definitely gotta try a few of the other tacos! read more

First time here and I literally live across the street. I recently dined at Taco Maya in Niles, Illinois, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The customer service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious. I tried the chicken tacos and chile relleno, and both dishes were bursting with flavor. The chicken was tender and seasoned perfectly, while the chile relleno was rich and satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. Whether you're a fan of traditional Mexican cuisine or just looking for a great place to eat, Taco Maya is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back! Uttam was amazing and very friendly Thank you. read more

So it's been 6 years since I've been coming to Taco Madre/Maya and I'm never disappointed anytime I come. Not only do they have great food options on the regular menu but they rotate their specials in case you want to be adventurous. From the filet mignon taco to the mahi mahi taco, there's always a surprise waiting for you. They also have an amazing assortment of other dishes outside tacos like burritos, tortas, etc. They also serve alcohol, mostly beer, so you can be refreshed after you down those tacos. The service is great. The workers are all part owners so they have a vested interest in the company doing well. The vibe is pretty standard but at times they spice it up especially for Mexican holidays. Lastly, if you notice a variety of Indian inspired dishes, it's because the founder of Taco Maya is of Indian descent. He discovered the executive chef of a Mexican restaurant and liked his food SO much that he hired him as the head chef for all the Taco Maya restaurants and the rest is history. Try Taco Maya, I promise that you'll want to continue to come back in the future! read more

This was my first time at Taco Maya Niles but not my first time at Taco Maya. I came with a group of 5 for a work lunch. None of the other people I came with had been to Taco Maya before! The menu has a little bit of everything for everyone. Our group got a mix of tacos as well as a burrito bowl and taco salad. Everyone raved about how good their food was and how it was nice to see more fusion type items on the menu one doesn't typically see. Prices can be a bit expensive but everything tastes fresh and comes out hot. Don't miss out on the free salsa bar on top of the complimentary mild salsa and chips. Restaurant was very clean and tidy as we saw the workers continuously sweeping and wiping down surfaces. read more

Not a huge fan of what I got at least. Chicken taco was a bit dry but the al pastor was good. I like mayo so I didn't completely mind but the mayo to corn ratio seemed out of wack- so much mayo and it was so salty. They prepared our food quickly and our order was neatly packed (we got it delivered) and food was still warm. Not sure how it is in the restaurant - would try again in person to see if it's any better. Prices were a bit high for food quality . The rice and beans were not good at all tbh. Might've been bc of delivery but rice was uninspiring, beans were slimy and the tortilla bowl the beans were in was soggy so not ideal for delivery tho it could be good in person. read more

delicious fresh food w an indian fusion option. tikka tacos amazing. nice ppl, good prices. highly recommended

This place is a gem. I went to restaurants and had nothing close to quality of tacos or variety. The avocado salsa is to die for and fresh all the time. The steak is real steak and thick cubes and tasty. The new Birria tacos and the au jus it comes with are so good. I am so lucky to have this place local. Even when I come late and they are cleaning and closing, they dont get upset and serve me quick and friendly. Frequent visitor as I cant keep away. Oh and they have 1 free taco on Tues with your order. read more

Overpriced, bad milanesa, salsa bar. That about sums up my experience. I ordered a milanesa torta, and it was so chewy that one bite pulled the entire meat out of the sandwich, and I still couldn't even chew it by itself. The bonus is that they have a salsa bar that you can help yourself to - but that perk is not worth what we paid for our meal overall. read more

Ok, to preface i live in California and eat tacos on a regular basis - so i was skeptical about coming here. The food was very good, very clean, and very affordable. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

I have never been here before. There are 8 locations. Arlington Heights, Bloomingdale, Lakeview Coming Soon, Logan Square Coming Soon, Niles, River North Chicago, Rosemont, Schaumburg, Southloop Chicago. This Niles Location was pretty good. See my pics. There are 676 Photos. 488 just for food. So it's a lot to sift through. But my review here has 2 photos attached. I ordered the Steak Burrito. I said hold the lettuce and tomatoes. They did just that. It was 20 something including tax for just that and a fountain drink. It is a lot but Chipotle is very expensive. No chips just 2 burritos with guac and 1 fountain drink for me and my nephew this past April 2022 and it was 26 bucks. Even 3 tacos with drink and no chips at Chipotle was close to 15 at Chipotle. So for 20 you get so much more here. They gave free chips and salsa to start with. And with the giant burrito cut in half they gave rice and beans on the side. I have not tried the desert yet but it looks good per the photos here. But none the less lot more here for what it's worth. I will def recommend to all and go back my self. Maybe even for my birthday coming up soon. read more

The first time I had taco maya, the carne asada tacos really stood out to me. They were flavorful, tender, juicy, and just overall really good and worth the price. Since then, I've been craving them and I finally decided to get them again. I ordered them for take out and they definitely didn't taste the same as I remembered them as. They were just decent and pretty carne asada tacos. Maybe they taste better when you dine in, but I think I'd rather get carne asada tacos at a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants where they cost $2-$3/ea instead of $4/ea. Atmosphere-wise, I like it there! The employees are nice, the restaurant seems clean, and you can grab your own hot sauces and salsa too. read more

This visit was made prior to COVID-19. Taco Maya is Located across the street from golf Mill mall on golf road, in the strip mall called shops on golf. Inside, there was plenty of room in their dining area. While you wait for your food, they give you some salsa chips, which both were warm. Taco Maya also features a nice little salsa bar with different levels of hot. I ended up ordering: - Shrimp taco -- delicious grilled shrimp with chipotle mayo, lettuce, pico de gallo and avocado. The taco came with three shrimps (or "shrimp"?) - Chingon taco -- the taco had chopped Steak, Chorizo, jalapeño, onion, cheese & Cilantro. This was probably my favorite - Dorado fish taco -- Mahi Mahi Fish - Chipotle, Mayo Sauce, Lettuce, Pico de Gallo & Avocado BATHROOM REVIEW: Bathroom located in the back. The men's bathroom was a single person bathroom with a urinal, a floating sink, and paper towel dispenser. Sit or squat? Sit! read more

This place never disappoints. Great food and the best tacos. The bowls are delicious too. Love this place!

Got the Al Pastor on flour and a fajita. The Al Pastor was a little greasy but is probably in the top three for best I've ever had. I give that a 5/5. The fajita was fantastic as well and I would say that it's in the top 10 that I've ever had. The queso was average. The chips were great for a Mexican place. HIGHLY recommend. read more

As a snobby Californian spoiled with delicious tacos, I was always disappointed with tacos in IL until I stopped by Taco Maya. The staff are extremely friendly and patient even though I was overwhelmed with the menu options. the tacos are DELICIOUS and the rice is fluffy and flavorful. Their queso is SO CREAMY and the endless chips made me so happy! If you're boycotting Chipotle like I am, I highly recommend you try their queso. The horchata was really tasty too but very sweet. Overall this is a great place to check out and I'll definitely be back! read more

A group of us from the office frequently go here for their taco Tuesday deals. Their tacos are very tasty, generally no complaints on the food and price. We ding them two stars for the service. They used to give you a basket of chips for every two people, and everyone got their own warm salsa cup. Recently that changed and they became much more stingy; it's one basket of chips and only one salsa cup for every three people. When we asked about more chips, the manager was pretty rude about not giving us more. You have to understand--the warm salsa is very good, and not available on the salsa bar. This was a big disappointment, so we don't go there as much anymore. read more

First time ordering from this restaurant (take out) My wife and I had the steak, shrimp, and chicken fajita combo ($27 with tax). Everything tasted great- the refried beans, rice, and pick de gallo which came on the side was excellent. Portion size was adequate as well. My only complaint was the size (not the quantity) of the peppers and the meat. They were way too big to fit on a small flour tortilla. I would recommend cutting the meat in half and increasing the size of the tortilla. I will definitely be going back there for more items. Delicious. The actual restaurant was small but well lit and inviting. read more

On a Sunday we received quick service and the tacos were great. I had the Yucatán taco which was shrimp and chorizo. And the Korean beef taco. Both had great flavor. Food comes with chips and salsa. And their salsa was flavorful without being too spicy. They also have a salsa bar with more options. Prices are good. And they have really extensive menu. read more

Taco Mayo has several locations in the Chicagoland area - one in Bloomingdale, one in the South Loop, and this location in Niles. The menu offers various appetizers and sides (such as queso blanco dip, nachos supreme, freshly-made guacamole, etc.), enchilada entrees, tortas, salads, fajitas, tacos, burritos, and desserts. I had the steak chimichanga, which came topped with a queso blanco dip - honestly, this was pretty tasty! It was deep-fried, and there was definitely a generous amount of queso that was smothering the chimichanga. The filling was jam-packed, too, and everything was seasoned well; I think the queso just added a bit more saltiness. My dad, who is the original chimichanga lover, thought the queso was just too much - he thought it was unnecessary and it was a bit too overwhelming; he preferred his to be more simple! When dining in, you also get a basket of complimentary chips and salsa - the chips are thin, crispy, and well salted; their salsa tasted fresh and had a nice kick. There is also a toppings bar with more types of salsas and peppers. This is more of a fast casual restaurant, and there were many parties dining in as well as some pick-up orders. There's plenty of (tight) parking in the plaza lot. I hope this place keeps up with the quality and the consistency, as I'd love to revisit! +tasty chimichangas +generous amount of queso blanco! +complimentary chips and salsa +toppings bar available +plenty of (tight) parking in plaza lot read more
