Unfortunately no communication from restaurant tried to call them Several times was looking forward to it as liked the menu and what was on offer . Unfortunately the driver was handed my drink order but there was no food at all with it and was called had way through the driver getting to me read more

Ventured in here today after seeing their lunchtime deal. Small burrito/fajita/quesadilla, tortilla chips and drink for under a fiver? Sold! They also do 'Vegan Tuesdays', so need to investigate what that's all about. Heard their pulled tofu burritos are awesome. This place is very vegan-friendly. I had guacamole, some sort of ridiculously spicy salsa, veggie chilli, jalapenos and rice in my burrito. For a small burrito it was very filling, especially with the lovely tortilla chips. The guac was delicious and balanced out the spices a little. The water took the edge off the spice, but not much. Like a proper kick though, so was delighted with this. You can choose between mild, medium, hot and extra hot. The place itself is quite small. The table I sat at still had the last customer's leftovers there, but it was busy when I arrived so can forgive them for that. You can buy bottles of hot sauce here and they do Swipii points. Yay! Can't wait to go back! Will check out the city centre shop next time. read more

Taco Mazama - Small vegan burrito with tortilla chips and water for £4.50. Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

In need of a small meal on Byres Road, I thought this was the perfect spot to go. I opted for a burrito bowl with chicken and all the usual burrito toppings. We sat down to eat and I was pretty disappointed with what was served up - overcooked chicken, hardened rice, gluggy beans and a bit of a shambles of toppings. Perhaps I've been spoilt by other Mexican takeaway/fast food spots, perhaps it was because it was nearing the end of the day or perhaps it was because I was grumpy and hungry. But either way, Taco Mazama didn't live up to my expectations and I left feeling decidedly "meh". Note: they take Swipii card. read more

I have to admit that they probably do not serve the best burritos in the world, but it definitely serves a purpose. Earlier in the week I had mentioned to my lab partner and partner in crime that I was craving a burrito, and the following morning he came in and said we should have one for lunch, so I was sold. Thankfully, Taco Mazama is only a short walk from the lab and so the perfect way of getting some air and some food. He went for the large burrito lunch deal (drink, tortilla chips and large burrito for £5.99) whereas I got the small version for £4.50. I'm sure they've increased the prices, but that's a different story. I like that the food is freshly prepared in a Subway-esque manner. As mentioned, they aren't be best burritos, and you always have to be slightly lucky. Unfortunately, it was only warm in areas and there is not an even spread of rice and chicken either - the rice will be on one side of the burrito, the chicken on the other. Although this is a big shame, I still eat them. I admit the small burrito is small, but has got to be enough to fill me up. In the words of my partner in crime, it's fast food, but we will be coming back, as this place is in a really convenient location on Byres Road and serves its purpose. What I appreciate a lot is that they sell Tango drinks (I know, it's the little things in life), and I have to admit I absolutely love their Blood Orange flavour. The interior reminds me starkly of some diner or chippy that has a seating area, there's nothing special about it, and for the most part it's pretty clean usually. The staff changes rather frequently, as I have never seen the same staff in there for a second time, but saying that, they are always friendly and very efficient at what they do. I also really rather appreciate the music they play, which is not distracting but is there. Three stars, although "Yay! I'm a fan." read more

I am sick of this place claiming they serve good food. Ordered the largest item on the menu, not bigger than a biro pen! The portions are poor and the food is average at best. £26 for a burrito and an enchilada!!! If I was to rate this Mexican against the rest in Glasgow, it is the worst! read more

Ideal for a quick lunch elevated above the standard sandwich and crisps options. For £4.50 you can get a burrito or fajita with tortilla chips or fruit and a drink. The fillings are generous and you can more or less make it as spicy or as mild as you like. Or you can upgrade for a larger portion (although I can't imagine being hungry after a small one). I pretty much always take away but sitting in is an option and is perfectly comfortable. It's possible that there's better burritos to be found in Glasgow, but for the speed, price and convenience these are remarkably good. There's a very good reason they always have a queue out of the door at lunch time. read more

Having recently returned to Glasgow after living overseas for two years, I was delighted to discover Taco Mazama taking pride of place in heart of Byres Road. In my opinion, the area has been crying out for an eatery like this for ages - somewhere you can grab a quick, tasty bite at an astonishingly reasonable price. When the hunger pangs struck a few days ago, I popped in and ordered half a mushroom and aubergine chili burrito. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was very tasty. Even though it was technically just half a burrito, it filled me up nicely. At £2.99 it was probably the best bargain in the West End. Mexican fast food has been pretty much a staple of the American diet for years now but us Glaswegians have been slow to catch on, with most of the Mexican restaurants in the city being more formal sit down dining type places. My one criticism of Taco Mazama is that it could do with a bigger seating area than the tiny breakfast bar provided; eating burritos on the go can be messy. However, this one gripe aside, I think it's a great wee addition to Byres Road. read more

Been waiting to try this place for a good while. As a fan of Mexican grub I'd been told this was the go to place for a quick, easy and most importantly tasty fix. Myself and a few friends went on a week night at about 7 o'clock. The place was queued out the door so I figured we were onto a winner. I opted for the pulled pork option - originally I'd chosen the pork and chorizo filling but they'd ran out. Understandable given the queue size so I let it go. From getting inside the door there were maybe, 6 people in front of myself. It took me just over 20 minutes to complete my order. Not exactly a 'quick' option as I'd been led to believe. The staff took about 5 minutes to bring out the pork filling for my burrito. Not even the slightest of apologies for my wait. I then got talked through my choice of fillings by the most miserable looking member of staff. Hats of to the guy who rolled the burrito and left out my filling (the one I'd waited on for a good 5 minutes). The process itself was stressful and lengthy but I figured the burrito would be worth it. Taste wise it was good, but the hash-bash way it was constructed meant that I had mouthfuls of cold filling to contend with and all the good stuff was at the bottom. My burrito also ended up giving up halfway through and I was left with a heap of filling on my bowl instead of in the burrito. Perhaps a rolling lesson is in order... Price wise it was relatively cheap and good for a quick lunch time fix maybe but you certainly don't get your money's worth as far as service and presentation is concerned. Wouldn't be eating here again in a hurry. read more

This place opened up several months ago and I've only just got around to sampling it's wares - partly due to the price with £5+ for a burrito/taco/fajita - although it can't be denied that you do get a lot of food for that money! With the introduction of a 1/2 sized portion to the menu, I moseyed in here the other day to check it out. Apart from the different genres, there were also 5/6 different meat/marinade options, salsas varying from medium to extra hot and other salad-like toppings. I had a 1/2 fajita with the chicken and hot salsa (didnt notice the extra hot until afterwards!) and salad, hold the sour cream (ew). Granted it did feel a little like being in subway in terms of the assembly process but the end result was very tasty, nicely spicy and a good portion-size for lunch! read more

Taco Mazama hasn't ever been the best Burrito in town but that doesn't mean it isn't damn good. I discovered the Mega Burrito, much to my stomach's delight, and took mine with the shredded beef and veggie chili. It was sensational. But I would say that the hottest salsa didn't have an incredible kick to it, more a good warmth. We ordered ours for delivery during the World Cup Final last night and as expected there was a wait. We were quoted an hour and they turned up a little later than that but I cant speak to whether or not that is the norm. read more

My experiences of Taco Mazama are mixed to say the least, sometimes the food is delicious, sometimes it's deeply disappointing. But as it's the only place in the West End to get a burrito so I keep going back whenever I need my fix. The menu is reasonably priced, I usually order the lunchtime meal deal which includes a small burrito, tortilla chips and a can of juice or water for £3.95 which I think is a great deal. Generally the ingredients used are fresh and tasty and result in great food but more than a few times I've found the meat to be overcooked and tough which has rendered my food pretty much inedible. There's always something of the luck of the draw when it comes to service too. Staff are always pleasant and polite but are sometimes incredibly slow, which can become frustrating at busy times. So do I recommend Taco Mazama? I'm not really sure. Unless you're type of person who enjoys spinning the wheel of chance when it comes to the quality of food you'll receive..... read more

Nothing comes between me and a good burrito. I'm from California and I love me a mean big burrito chock full of fresh salsa goodness and this place delivers. You can tell that the owner has traveled to California as the tastes and ingredients are what you would expect in many eateries there. One of the worker bee's tried to convince me that the guacamole was imported from Mejico which I really doubt and HOPE NOT!!! I think he thought it would make it seem more authentic but in reality making fresh guac isn't that hard and it can be very rewarding. Ever since I have discovered this place there has been no going back anywhere else for a good burrito. Now for nacho's I am not sure but if they could start making some fresh tamale's I would forever be indebted to them. read more

Ok it seems really mean that I'm only giving it 2 stars but I can't say it was 'a-ok' and it was definitely 'meh. I've had better'. Now this is my review for the Byres Rd location as the one on Renfield Street is better in my opinion. I was there 30 mins before closing so this may be why things weren't great but I'm not so sure as I've been to the one on Renfield Street late at night and it was better, anyway here goes.. I ordered the burrito bowl which comprises of some sort of protein, salad and toppings. My issue is that the rice was clumpy and hard and although I wouldn't have wanted more since it wasn't very nice I was surprised by how stingy they were with the portions. I ordered the butternut squash and pepper topping instead of meat and it was barely heated up and again the portion was tiny, that's comes with guacamole as well (and it's not extra with this option) but the guy put the tiniest amount. Now, if it's included I want a good amount - especially since they were nearly closing and would have probably tossed it out. I actually had to ask for more (and I never do that) next was the salsa which was a watered down pico de gallo - ick! The best part were the jalapeños. I was total underwhelmed by the meal and actually wish I would have just went somewhere else for food. For a fiver I want a bit more. I don't see me going back there any time soon. read more

Staying not far from Taco Mazama has meant we have been more than once, and each time we have enjoyed. You can takeaway or sit in, it's not really a restaurant as such but comfortable enough if your wanting a quick bite to eat. The menu's contain all the usually Mexican favorites such as nacho's, fajitas, burritos etc,having tried most on offer our favorite has to be the Burrito with beef and chorizo chilli filled with rice,beans,cheese salad and Mazama hot sauce, nice portion size and spicy without being overpowering. Prices are fair for what you get and if it's quick easy Mexican food that tastes great Taco Mazama is a good choice. read more

During lunch time, there's a deal where you can get a can of soda and a bag of chips along with a burrito. Pretty sweet deal.

Nom, nom, nom! I'm a big fan of Tex-Mex cuisine, and often eat on the move, so this place allows me to do both. I was strolling down to Dumbarton Road to meet a friend for a 'few pints' (famous last words, eh!) and felt an overwhelming urge to eat. I spotted Taco Mazama. Boom! Result! Success! I opted for a chicken burrito with the works. It was delicious. Really fresh flavours and nice textures. The filling was generous, and more importantly, rather tasty! While this isn't the cheapest place - it certainly offers a nice alternative to a sausage roll from Greggs. Since my first visit about 3 months ago, I've been to their city centre branch several times for my lunch. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the food on offer is delicious and fresh. Arriba! read more

One of the most outstanding Burrito's I've had the pleasure of nom'ing on. Even just thinking about is triggering my sensors into wanting another one. After swearing by another burrito establishment that was in the city centre, I was given a head nod to venture over to the West End to try this place out. First impression was that the place was a bit small, didnt have the glitz and glamour of said other burrito place.... I was served by a lovely person who was quite happy to wait for me to figure out what I was actually wanting on my burrito and even more relaxed about the fact I had to go back out and find a cash machine. Either way, enough of this boring stuff, onto the food! So, went with the Burrito with Chicken and the chipotle sauce and a bunch of other things thrown into it. It was de-lish! So good. First bite, Ohmygod, Second bite, YES, Third bite, should really take a drink, and so on and so on. Scoffed the lot, went to the pub, but cheekily went back a few hours later and grabbed another one. At £4.99, it was great value, maybe a bit high for a daily lunchtime meal, but good enough for a weekend treat. I'll be returning for sure, and this time, I'll be going for the top heat! read more

I've always been a fan. But not so much of the order online delivery's (after waiting over an hour twice and a wrong order - but it was delivered by a lovely girl on her bike, which was kinda cool) so I now only visit the wee/large shop because of this. Anyway moving on, today I had bad service as well as a half filled taco and my partner's burrito was making a right soggy mess. My first taco was bloody tasty and I was rather happy with it as it was hitting my hangover in all the right places... I then unwrapped my second one (I had saved my second one till last as I was really looking forward to the filling!) and it had very little lettuce and no salsa. So I took it back up and asked for a little more and he dumped a heap of lettuce and then a large spoonful of salsa on top - I then couldn't find my taco! it would have been fine and I would have been very happy (I'm part rabbit) had he smiled or even looked or spoken to me. I don't now if I will be back but since my hangovers like salsa who knows! read more

Very good food! Staff was super friendly and the food was very fresh. Similar to chipotle but with an authentic UK twist.

OK, as I've said in my review for Pinto's, I'm a huge tex mex fan, raised on it in Texas, blah blah blah. When I lived in the states I was never really a fan of burrito bar restaurants; however, now that I live in Glasgow and there isn't a Mexican restaurant on every corner I've come to appreciate burrito bars. I like Taco Mazama. When I realised it delivered (from the city centre location) I became a bigger fan. Then I moved closer to the west end location, so I'm reviewing this location specifically. I love that the pork is seasoned with cinnamon and usually get that in a burrito, but their chicken nachos are also really good. The burritos are also massive and even a challenge for me to finish them (and trust me, I rarely struggle to finish any Mexican food). On Cinco de Mayo, I discovered they do Horchata milkshakes. For those who don't know, Horchata is a milky drink made from rice and cinnamon. Taco Mazama's isn't a milk shake in the traditional sense (you know, with ice cream), and I suspect it's a powder that is mixed with milk, but it wasn't too bad and if the weather is ever nice enough for it, I may get it again. Anyway, Taco Mazama is a good shout for quick and tasty Mexican food, but I'll admit it's getting a higher rating for being in Glasgow. read more

Eating on the hoof seems to be a regular occurrence for me these days, so when I found myself without much time but an appetite that required more than a boots meal deal thought I would give this place a chance. I had the char-grilled chicken burrito with everything on, including their extra hot salsa. The foil wrapped tortilla was bursting at the seams and though not as hot (spicy) as I had anticipated was just what I needed. Not the cheapest take-away but when size counts, this will push up a couple of extra belt notches. read more

Been a long term fan of taco mazama since they first opened but after being served by the rudest girl I've ever encountered, I won't be returning. Treating your customers like they're a massive inconvenience and slamming stuff down, banging about with the grimmest expression possible only drives loyal custom away. Sure, the burrito was good, but with so much competition for your dollar on Byres road, I simply will go elsewhere in future and will be sure to let everyone else know that TM simply do not care about who they put in the front line to represent them. Absolutely woeful. read more

Wouldn't go in again to any store now as had bad experience in Partick Glasgow store on 24th July 2019. The staff were rude, the guy didn't say much and the girl looked at us like we were tramps quite uncomfortable when your a 42 year old female, an a little girl turns her nose up to you very unprofessional. Meant to be a deal on food...No deal for us as it wasn't even worth it. Wont have my custom again, disappointed. Probably more in staff than what I am bout the mouse portion of food. read more

The West End branch of a city centre staple. First impression: They have moved into a bigger shop next door to their cramped old unit and boy does it make a difference! It's light, airy and pleasant, though still a little bare. Service: There can be a queue out the door at busy times, but even when busy the service is usually with a smile and often a joke, and very quick (except Nachos which take 10 minutes to make properly, warning: eat them fresh, they don't do well when left) Food: The burritos are fantastic, I was a pork fan, but now I love them all. The meat (any of them) have always been flavourful and has had a good texture (occasionally the shredded beef is dried out, but they warn you of that and sometimes the chicken can be more shredded than diced). All 3 salsas are great, I love the extra hot corn and black bean salsa with a little of the medium-hot tomato and chipotle. The only improvement that could be made is the quality of the tortillas. Packaging: Weird to be honest, oval plastic trays? Just weird. Overall it's a 4/5, but really the food is what's most important and that is fantastic and gets it the upgrade to 5/5. read more

Don't expect a restaurant -this is a takeaway. Having said that tasty tacos and burritos, not great, but better than any mexican I had in Scotland read more

+ Large tasty burritos - Just not perfect During my time in Glasgow Taco Mazama has been the king of fast-food places for me to drop in and get a good lunch/dinner/post-pub meal. Dropping by today for the first in that list, I have no reason to doubt this classification of mine. While not the cheapest of places, the four pound lunch deal should be enough to satisfy most for a quick lunch on the go while being fresher than anything else you can get in less than five mins on Byres Road. Personally I do tend to go for the regular burrito as I always want a bit more, the staff has also always been happy to accommodate any adjustments to my order, the standing being more beans and less rice. Today the pork was up to scratch, although I did get a rather solid, dry chunk, but what can you do? And I do appreciate the availability of exotic juices as drinks, as sodas isn't my thing. Is it perfect? No, I've had better mexican food at roughly the same price, but not in Glasgow and not in the same amount of time it takes to get it. If you got six pounds and want a fresh meal in the blink of an eye, this is the place to go. read more

Staff are super friendly - they even allowed our puppy to sit in with us! Food is always fresh and tasty! read more

Not a bad place for a burrito at all. I made the mistake on getting the King size. Unless you want 2 meals in one just get the regular. The steak chorizo is very good and the spicy sauce is truely spicy. It gives it a good kick. read more

Was looking for not-so-expensive veggie lunch along Byres Road, but everything had either ran out or cheese-based :-( so was happy to see the word VEGAN on the front. These guys do a nice meal deal, I actually think I like it more than pinto's! Only problem I was looking for a place to sit in, as it was freezing, but my fault for not checking before I went in. Will defo go again on next visit to the west! PS. small burrito+chips deal was just enough for me, but had a big breakfast or maybe because the vegan option is very filling? read more

I can see what this place is going for - the "Mexican street food" burrito bar idea has been a big success down south in the past few years. Taco Mazama hasn't *quite* got the knack of it yet, but their heart is clearly in the right place and by Glasgow's standards, this is top-notch Mexican food. The variety of fillings is fairly good (a nice Glaswegian touch is the choice of "mild, hot or extra-hot" salsa - nae messing about with medium!) and the chicken filling I had was neither the best nor worst I've had in a burrito. Everything else was pretty much as you would expect, and served in a generous portion. Very good value, too. The burrito loses marks for its execution - a little sloppily constructed and rolled; not the best distribution of the fillings. I'd also have appreciated even a small place to sit and eat, as there's not anywhere particularly close to head to (I headed to the Botanic Gardens and right on cue, the heavens opened...). So, a great option for students and locals. Room for improvement, though. read more

On the plus it's quick and tastes good. The interior is okay, but it's no good value for money. Four pound for a small burrito you can easily eat in four big bites! read more

Lack of quality ingredients and my server had a face like a smacked arse.

I have been popping into Taco Mazama for a couple of years now and I love it! Tasty food, good atmosphere and reasonably priced especially the lunch time deal. It's so nice to see something different takeaway wise in Glasgow. I know we have Pinto too, but it doesn't come close to touching Taco Mazama for my money! And yesterday for the first time I had them deliver their food to my door! Found their site (tacomazama.co.uk), ordered and Boom, delicious Mexican grub for my tea! Keep up the fantastic work! read more

Got the Buritto Bowl. Disappointed. Served in a foil tray, lukewarm, skimpy portions. Guacamole and sour cream 99p extra. £7 still hungry. read more

I would say this is the best place in Glasgow that I have found for delicious Mexican food! It is a very casual, fast food based Mexican restaurant full of wonderful flavours. I would recommend getting the pulled pork burrito, and tell them not to be shy on the guacamole!! Bloody marvellous! read more

as an expat from the american Southwest living in Glasgow, I can tell you that tortillas are not supposed to be toasted, they're just supposed to be warmed. Mazama does it authentic style. Their BBQ pork is so-so compared to having a nice carnitas burrito at your local taqueria.. not to say it's bad, just not exactly what I grew up on. However, ask for spicy salsa in your burrito with it and you've got damn near close to something you'd get in California, and more than satisfies that burrito craving I haven't been able to satisfy for years unless I made them myself. But that's no fun when you're full of beer and it's 2 am, and you absolutely MUST have a burrito. Mazama has finally made that possible in Glasgow!! Their beans are dead perfect, as well. read more

I convince myself that this is 'healthy' and i don't want anyone to tell me otherwise. There are vegetables in it for crying out loud. Real, crunchy, vegetables. I've had a few different options- chicken, fajitas, veg chilli, chorizo, the lunchtime deal (really good value imho), huge ass burritos, half size ones when I'm being a ladeeee (pretending to someone, usually of the opposite sex, that dainty ol' me could NEVER manage a whole one). All wholly passing the taste test for me. I know it's probably not all freshly baked every morning but if you are looking for that then you're going to want to pay a darn-sight more that £2 - £8 my dear. The staff here have always been great when we have gone in, no rolling of eyes as we try to get three-year-olds to pick which food they would most like to throw on the floor, no huffing at the buggies in the corner. This place isn't really for kids though- there are no customer toilets and the tables for the sit in option are mainly long, backless benches which you share with other diners. Really shiny benches that squirming children slide, fall and shoot off as if it were a ride in a water park. plastic cutlery is placed in tempting holders on each bench, just begging to be methodically dropped on the floor to see what noise they make. Or used as weapons. That big fridge unit at the front? Why that has a perfect toddler sized gap behind it. Having experienced all of this I can tell you that there is also no suitable 'time-out' spot. Stop taking children there you say? Stop making delicious food then. Simples. Despite the 'hilarity' that little people can create in this eatery the staff have always been cool and calm about our presence which is practically like sprinkling crack over my food. I'm hooked and I'm going back for more. read more

If you've ever had decent Mexican food, you know this isn't it. Below Par. Disappointing. I got a burrito bowl and it just wasn't anything special. Didn't seem very fresh or filling. Price was alright at 6 quid read more

When I visit California on business I always hit up a place called Chipotle.... if you don't know about it google it. This place basically copied the format and have done it fairly well. It's freshly put together in front of your eyes and all for a fairly decent price. They do a roaring turn after the pubs turn out so if you are looking for the anti-fish and chips then give it a shot. Remind yourself...its Mexican on Byres Rd so don't expect miracles... read more
