    Al pastor torta
    Tricia D.

    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!

    Grilled chicken tacos
    Danielle D.

    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!

    Chips and salsa, complimentary
    Cassady H.

    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.

    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!

    Mexican fries- so good!
    Nazia C.

    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!

    Chicken taco and chile relleno
    Mala G.

    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.

    Specialty taco menu

    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!

    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.

    Do they have gluten free options? I have celiac and would need them to be super careful and knowledgeable about their ingredients. Anyone have any experience?

    Yes, you can order tacos on corn tortillas, guacamole, elotes, etc. but I don't know if they prepare the food in a dedicated gluten free area.

    Can anyone explain the Taco Madre/Taco Maya schism?

Many of the tables have been replaced by kiosks and an area for online orders. There are no longer lines to order, and it seemed most of the orders were online orders for pick up. Years ago it was hard to find a table to eat, but there were plenty of empty tables. We ordered via the kiosk, which was easy. I appreciate the food is always consistent. I ordered the chopped salad and my husband got a hot dog and fries. The chopped salad with some customization is one of my favorite salads. It comes with a piece of bread. The bread potion size varies, but this time it was quite generous. The salad has iceberg and romaine lettuce that is always crisp and fresh. the dressing is a sweet. Italian vinaigrette. The fries are also some of my favorite. They are crinkle cut french fries , crispy on the outside but soft inside. This is probably one of the best Portillo's around.
