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!

Specialty taco menu
Rod D.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

It's actually not complicated..... The schism is the result of problems between the Partners/Investors.… 

Does anyone know why they changed their name from Taco Madre to Taco Maya? Thanks all for the…

The Niles location is still under the same ownership....and still serving the same great food. Rumor…

I'll definitely be stopping by in person soon to try even more from the menu. Highly recommend if you're craving an amazing dessert!

I originally wrote a review over a year ago, but since then I've had two more really excellent…read moreexperiences at Ganache buying things for group events, so I wanted to provide an update. The first was for a St. Patrick's Day party, where I had ordered a tray with 2 pounds of cookies. When I arrived, I noticed that the tray didn't have St. Patrick's Day cookies, just regular cookies. The owner was the one waiting on me, and when I mentioned this to him he apologized immediately, said there must've been a miscommunication, and asked me if I could wait five or 10 minutes and they'd make a brand new tray for me. It probably would've been okay if I took the original tray, but I knew our group really wanted St. Patrick's Day themed desserts for this party of about 40 people. So I said sure I could wait, and the tray they put together was absolutely beautiful. Besides the cookies, it also included some little plastic St. Patrick's Day themed rings and other decorations. Fast forward to last week, when I was tasked with bringing the dessert for a monthly board meeting. I called and again spoke with the owner, and explained what I needed. I thought it would be fun to bring some holiday-themed items, and I had seen a picture of their Yule logs on their website, so I inquired about those. We chatted about it, he asked me the type of cake and filling, I also ordered a 1 pound box of cookies and a gluten-free cupcake for one of our members, and I picked them up before the meeting two days later. Everything was absolutely perfect. Their Yule logs are beautiful - mine looked exactly like the picture on their website - and again there were little rings and other decorations on it. One of the other board members was so impressed with it that she immediately said she was ordering her own for the holidays and took several pictures of it, and everyone asked me what bakery I used. Oh, and the cookies and cupcake were great, too! I have a feeling they'll be getting some more business from our group from this for sure, as they should!
