My girl and I decided to come here for Sunday happy hour margaritas and food, and it turned out to be a great choice. Right when you walk in, there's a sign on the floor advertising the happy hour menu, and once you get to the register, they also have the happy hour prices and choices displayed there too. The girl at the register was really nice and helpful. This restaurant is seat yourself, which wasn't a problem at all. We ordered margaritas, a Paloma, some steak and shredded chicken tacos, and mini nachos with shredded chicken. While waiting for our food, we got chips and salsa. They also had white creamy spicy salsa that tasted really good!!.sadly, I can't remember the name of it. Now about the mini nachos... they called them "mini," but that was definitely an understatement. The portion was actually pretty large for a mini order. They added a lot of nacho cheese, which made some of the chips soggy which wasn't that big of a deal. The street tacos were really good. The shredded chicken tacos in particular were very well seasoned. They were so good I ended up ordering more. Overall, we had a great experience at this taqueria, and it's now our my go-to spot when we want some quick Mexican food. read more

My disclaimer always is that I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food, so always take my reviews with a grain of salt. That being said, this was one of the better Mexican meals I've had in quite awhile. I ordered the lunch special two item plate. Not bad for value: After taxes, $17 with a drink included, plus chips and salsa (which are self serve). I got a pastor taco, and a birria. The taco itself had a good level of spice, and the birria was quite tasty. Again, usually Mexican food is generic tasting to me, but I was genuinely enjoying this meal. The refried beans surprised me....as opposed to being mush like almost ALL Mexican restaurants, this actually had the texture of REAL BEANS throughout, thus providing a pleasing texture. The service was great. I forgot to ask for no onion on my birria, and they happily offered to make me a new one. The gentleman who took my order and brought me a fresh birria had great customer service. He himself would make me like to return. Nothing too groundbreaking, per se, when it comes to Mexican food, but good flavors and great customer service means a rarity for me when it comes to Mexican....not only is this a place I recommend....but I would actually RETURN.

We decided to give this place another try after a few years and had a much better experience. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, a full bar, TVs, and a nice atmosphere perfect for watching football on a Sunday. The food was great. I had the mojarra frita with rice and beans, and we also ordered the molcajete, which was more than enough for two. The fresh tortillas made at the front were delicious. Service was friendly and our food came out fairly quickly. Overall, we're glad we gave it another chance and would return, especially to try drinks at the bar. read more

Food service and vibe were all there! Even better the price was top tier. We came during the late night happy hour and were in for a treat. We ordered so much food and the value for cost was insane. We will definitely be back to try more happy hour offerings and non special food. read more

After getting a tip from a coworker who highly recommended this place, I checked them out for lunch on this beautiful afternoon. Located in midtown you will find Maya's Kitchen along the NW corner of Broadway and 27 Ave. The restaurant offers free parking with plenty of spots available. Inside the restaurant is nicely decorated with plenty of seating. Order from the station and option of chips and salsa. I wasn't a big fan of their salsas and my guess is that you have to aquire a taste for it. My Diablo Shrimps arrived quickly and they were very tasty and did I mention hot! Verdict 4.5 for reasonable priced food, friendly service and atmosphere. I'll be back. Buen Provecho. read more

Taqueria Maya serves up real‑deal Mexican street‑food that hits hard on flavor and value. The tacos, burritos, and enchiladas come loaded with tender, well‑seasoned meats (birria, asada, chicken) and fresh toppings -- generous portions that feel much more substantial than typical fast‑food burritos. Sides like good rice and beans, and treats like tres leches or churros, round out the meal nicely. The vibe is laid‑back and community‑oriented: colorful walls, relaxed seating -- sometimes with outdoor tables -- and friendly staff who make you feel welcome even when it's busy. Prices stay reasonable, so you get a full, satisfying meal without breaking the bank read more

Taqueria Maya - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Had a great lunch today at Taqueria Maya. My group sat at the north end of the restaurant where the AC blasts on high keeping that area cool and comfortable on a warm day. Ordering was easy. The young man at the register was helpful and offered recommendations and answered every question about the menu that my group asked. We were given a number placer to put at our table and they will bring it out to you. The updated chip and salsa station guarantees warm crispy chips and chilled fresh salsa. This is kept very clean. You can wash your hands or use the restroom, which is to the left of the register. We chose several salsas; spicy queso was mild. Red sauce was medium and green salsa was hot. I like them all. We ordered a super burrito, Gordita's and street tacos. Every thing was so good! Marinated shredded chicken, which was moist and tasty. The carnitas had that classic slow cooked tender flavor and the asada was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Very filing, generous portions with authentic flavors. You can tell all the tortillas and gordita's were freshly made in house as well as the marinated meats, rice, beans and everything else. Taqueria Maya always provides an exceptional experience and I can't wait to visit again soon. Yum! read more

The chips and salsa were great, the inside and outside were clean, the service was bubbly, and they have a parking lot. The food was very eh to mid, so I don't know if I would return for the food, but maybe for chips & dip with a margarita. read more

Taqueria Maya has a bright and welcoming interior with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I came on a Sunday night and they have happy hour specials on the food and drinks. I had the mini nachos with Carnitas, which were a very generous size and more than I could eat for one meal. They were delicious, piled high with salsa, cheese, guacamole, beans, and sour cream. The complementary chips and salsas from the salsa bar were tasty and had a good spice level. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There was a TV showing a soccer game as well as upbeat music for a fun atmosphere. They have a private parking lot with plenty of spaces. read more

I love their Enchiladas. I got a combination of red and mole enchiladas. Their red sauce is similar to my moms. No tomato. All red Chiles. The micheladas were great. The games were playing on the TVs. We ate outside. It was a nice day. And the food came out super fast. Plus it's awesome to see la señora making fresh tortillas by hand. read more

This place is everything I expect from a good Mexican restaurant: strong margs, good food, and a casual ambiance. The portion sizes are large and the food is legit! They have a variety of margaritas and beer, and a great happy hour with $1.50 tacos! And a great salsa bar. The food is authentic-great caldos and cócteles, licuados, menudo, pozole, etc. my fave: camarones al mojo de ajo (garlic shrimp plate) read more

We've been going to Taqueria Maya recently for lunch and dinner. It's about as good or better than most Mexican places in the area. They've got a big menu and they do a good job with the food. The drinks are ample. The seating is OK, but not all the tables are comfortable. It can be pretty loud inside. you order and pay at the counter and they bring out the food. Good service, decent salsa bar but good drinks (ie salsa not as good as Los Jarritos but drinks are better). Big margaritas! read more

Idk why it took me 6 yrs to actually stop by and eat at Taqueria Maya but man did I miss out. I've always seen plenty of cars in the parking lot and finally decided to try it out today. Did. NOT. Disappoint. The menu is extensive and has classic Mexican dishes like tacos/enchiladas plus some that are harder to find like sopes and huaraches. We ordered the chilaquiles with both red and green salsa + eggs over medium and an enchilada rojas for plate plus a coffee. Ordering was super quick and easy- appreciate the cashier's patience while I made up my mind! The food was so good and you can tell everything is made from scratch. Reminded me of my mom's cooking. The portion sizes were also HUGE. You can easily share one plate. Vibe of the place was super low key and I loved the outdoor sitting area. Already have my eyes on the breakfast burrito for next time. read more

Chilaquiles were good, but oh my gosh! They were waaay too salty. I felt that way the last time I ate chilaquiles here, but I thought it might be different a second time. It wasn't. I got the red sauce both times though so maybe it's different with the green. Service was fabulous. No complaints there. Friendly and efficient. Overall, a nice little spot off Broadway to order anything (probably) but the chilaquiles. read more

Enjoyed a relaxing dinner at Maya's. We both enjoyed a combo plate consisting of an asada taco and chicken enchilada. The latter was okay and the former was fantastic. The homemade flour taco shell was done perfecting and the asada was wonderful. Overall, a large portion of food. Staff was courteous and prompt. Facility is clean although it had a strong smell of bleach, which doesn't exactly go well with Mexican food. read more

Great Mexican food with great portion sizes! My favorites was the Chile Verde Pork, the pozole and the quesabirria but you can't go wrong with any of their options. They have so much to choose from! I've gone a few times since I've found this place and will definitely be going back. Plates are generally under $20 but the portion size is big. I also saw them making their own tortillas and I love when places have a salsa bar. The restaurant is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating so I've never had to wait. read more

Little disappointed in the cost for two burritos and two margaritas coming to $63 The margaritas were $13 each and small. At a higher end restaurant I'd expect that price, but not at a taqueria. Either way, you live and learn. The burritos were good. The chicken super burrito was nice. Grilled on the outside, good flavor. Vegetarian burrito was okay, not great. The outside was not grilled and nothing really special about the flavor or ingredients. The chips and salsa bar were good. Verde salsa and sour cream saved my vegetarian burrito from mediocrity. read more

Unfortunately i was so grossed out by this place I got up and ran to their bathroom and barfed. Never has any place been so bad i did that. Chicken meat was trash - disgusting inside the enchiladas Steak torta was just as nasty as well. The salsa was fermented and old. Chips were thick and cold - nasty. The prices are HIGH. But food quality low. Never will i ever eat here again - i'm grossed out writing this review cuz i have to think about the food again. read more

I recently tried this taqueria out on a whim. I had the cheese enchiladas plate with red sauce, salad, rice and beans. I also had their chips and various salsas. ALL of it was really good!

i placed a to go order over the phone. i asked for a pizzadilla with no meat but they said since i wasn't getting meat they could only give me a quesadilla which i really didn't understand. i also ordered a side of beans, rice, 2 tacos de papa & 2 sopes. i told the woman taking my order that i wanted carne asada for my one of my sopes & she asked me "for both?" & i replied, "no only one. for the other one i don't want any meat." when i got home there was only one sope in my bag, with meat. i called to let them know & she said she only charged me for one because she didn't know that i wanted a second one... i also purchased a small cup of habanero salsa & i was disappointed at how non spicy it was. the beans & rice were good, i liked the crunchiness of the tacos but everything else was disappointing & i feel like i kinda wasted my money. read more

The bestie brought me here for Mexican food and Maya's didn't disappoint! I wasn't too hungry and opted for the carne asada nachos! The chips were nice and crispy and the toppings were quite ample. I only wished for the nacho cheese to be authentic, as it felt like canned cheese sauce. Wait time for nachos was roughly 10 min for a Saturday evening which was not bad! Servers were kind and attentive. My bestie told me that the salsa bar used to be a free for all (grab and scoop whatever you want), but I assume due to the aftermath of COVID, they wanted to keep the bar as clean as possible by avoiding too many hands grabbing the salsa. Nonetheless, workers are quick to provide additional salsa options if needed! There was a crema, rojo salsa, and salsa verde options. read more

First time here, it was packed. You walk up order, get a number and find somewhere to sit. No extra cost for chips but you do have to ask for salsa for your chips they monitor that. I had the sour cream jalapenos with my chips it was good. I had a berry margarita which was very good and my husband had a michelada which he said was very good too! We also really liked the food and will be back. I had a shrimp taco, carne asada taco while husband had a carne bowl. The ambiance had nice music playing and everyone seemed happy working there.

I absolutely recommend! read more

Taqueria Maya - a bottle and a shot glass - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

To start, this spot has some cool decor inside. Lots of paintings and colors on the walls. Plenty of seating and space, including some outside. There was at least one tv that I saw and the screens for the menu needed to be reminded to stay on since they would shut off kind of frequently, which I thought was kind of funny. The atmosphere feels homey but decently clean, music, and good service. For the food, I really enjoyed the enchiladas and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the sides as well, from what I typically have at home, the sides are usually, never anything to write home about, so I enjoyed the fact that the sides here felt like a step-up in quality. The enchiladas were flavorful, good balance of spice and peppery-ness from the a very classic style enchilada sauce, and tender from the chicken. Sharing the tacos, I also enjoyed the birria and adobo. The meat was also tender and flavorful. Lastly, the price. It is a bit higher than other options, of a similar style, but I don't think it's necessarily asking for too much. The quality is good but not mind blowing and that's kind of exactly what I want. Better than Taco Bell for sure, but not Michelin star worthy. For the price, I was happy, and I would come here again. Being next to a fairly busy road, makes that part easy. read more

Taqueria Maya - Menu Front side - January 2025 - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

I haven't been to Taqueria Maya in a while. I recently met up with a friend on a Monday night. For a weekday night, this place was very busy for dinner. There were large groups meeting up and couples or families enjoying dinner. I arrived early so I was looking for an appetizer to munch on before my friend arrived, but they don't have an appetizer menu. I decided on the 4 flautas and a Mango Cart beer. When I looked at my receipt, I realized that the 4 flautas was only $1 cheaper than the flautas combo. I wondered why the cashier kept asking if I was sure I just wanted the flautas. There was no price on their menu for just the flautas. As soon as I realized this, I changed my order to a combo. The cashier was very kind and understanding. The restaurant stayed pretty busy for the duration of the dinner rush. It was hard to have a conversation with my friend over the music playing and the noise of the crowd. I had to keep asking my friend to repeat herself. When my friend arrived, we ordered shrimp tacos to go along with the taquitos I previously ordered. The food isn't as good as I remembered it. I think they had to make hard choices with quality of ingredients to keep their menu prices fair. The shrimp in the tacos were teeny. I was also bummed they didn't seem to serve the white sangria I loved so much. But they did have good beers on tap. When the place is busy, parking is a premium. They have a small lot and it's like tetris to get in and out of it. It's along a busy stretch of Broadway so street parking isn't ideal either. All in all, my experience was ok. It was a bit of a disappointment since I hyped this place up so much with my friend. One more note, I wish they had either paper menus or maybe a QR code to view the menu. My eyesight is not very good and their menu was really hard to read. The letters were white on a colored background, which made it even more challenging to decipher. I felt bad asking the lady to describe items because I could barely read the menu, but she was a good sport about it. The one thing that hasn't changed is the great staff. For a small crew, they got the line going quickly and food out in a timely manner. read more
