    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.

    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

    Street tacos

    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!

    Mini nacho with carnitas

    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.

    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.

    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)

    Chilaquiles
    Angelica R.

    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.

    More than just a taqueria! Features full menu of authentic delicious Mexican dishes. Notably more popular in the daytime than evening/nighttime (not sure why though) Food: Chilaquiles - 5/5 - red sauce, not spicy but still delicious; their style is to mix scrambled egg into it Huevos rancheros - 4/5 - good but definitely have had better Breakfast burrito - 4.5/5 - large and hearty portion size Pozole - 5/5 - super delicious; very tasty broth with complete ingredients; highly recommended Mole - 5/5 - nice slices of whole chicken and perfect mole sauce; definitely a must have for fans of mole Quesabirria tacos - 5/5 - delicious especially with the consume Pork chile verde - 5/5 - another delicious option tender pork and green salsa Plato de 2 huaraches - 5/5 - excellent, authentic and flavorfully delicious Ambience: Pretty simple design with indoor and outdoor seating Service: Order at the front register

    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.

    I came here with a girlfriend for happy hour. We split nachos and had two tacos each with a margarita. Food was amazing and service was great. It gets busy for happy hour and now I know why. The ambiance was cool. The music was perfect I danced the entire time while there. Well come back soon

    Jo D.

    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.

    Cocido soup....Pic explains it all

    Well here it is again, was craving for Cocido/Caldo de Res, this spot is the only 1 in Sacto that I like. They didn't disappoint The broth is flavorful with just the right amount of veggies & soft-tender beef We also tried the Albondigas Soup as well...Bomb

    Quesabirria Ala Carta
    Jae H.

    This place is BOMB!!! Don't have the greatest pictures because I was too busy eating! I got the quesabirria tacos and a Paloma during their happy hour and it was amazing! The service was super speedy and the ladies were super kind and accommodating for my large party! (Shoutout to the girl with the awesome eyeshadow) The inside is a chill family friendly vibe, perfect for gatherings and pickups!

    Did you ask the staff?

    Do they do taco Tuesday's and how much?

    I don't think they do taco Tuesdays. They DO have weekday happy hour specials in the afternoons, from 3 to 6 pm, I think. Their street tacos are really delicious! And so is their salsa bar! The service is great too.

    Do they have vegetarian tacos/food?

    Yes they do

    Do they do party platters?

    I'm sure they would. They're a local place with great customer service so if in the unlikely chance they've never done it, I'm sure they'd be happy to make you one.

Let's just say it make sense why the lot is full. The service was beyond reproach. Our server was attentive and detail oriented and never felt us feeling ignored. I couldn't see the bottom of the complimentary chips and salsa and the food came out hot and delicious. The three meat molcajete with traditional salsa verde (a family recipe according to the menu), pinto beans, radish, freshly roasted jalapeño, green onions, and sautéed cactus. Topped with Monterey Jack, Cotija, and Panela cheese was the star of the show. You assemble everything in a nice flour tortilla and you are in for a delectable and savory treat. The portion sizes are generous and the price point given the amount of food is also very attractive. We shared the molcajete and had plenty leftover for lunch the next day. I always wondered why the parking lot was so full but I longer have to wonder and I'll be contributing to the busy traffic in the parking lot because I'll be back for another round of molcajete.

We totally forgot with everything we have going on that day that it was dine downtown. The menu looked good, but I was already set on getting pozole so we didn't order off the dine downtown menu. Plus, we've also been here plenty of times and love it already. We were really bummed to find out that you get charged for chips and salsa and they don't come out automatically without asking and it also the charge is dependent on how many people are in your party. Also, when the chips came out, there was only one salsa, which hasn't usually been the case. We're not sure if this was just some modifications because of dine downtown happening, but it was a bummer. We ordered the taquitos for an appetizer and those were OK..nothing special. I ordered the pozole verde with chicken, which is my favorite! And my best friend ordered the Carnitas plate. My posole was really good. It came with the side of the status and all the toppings. However, the Carnitas lacked flavor and were a bit dry. Neither of us would probably order that again. We also ordered a couple of blended mockaritas, one strawberry and one mango and both were tasty, but the strawberry would definitely needed another blend as there were a big chunks of ice. I think that because of the craziness with dine downtown..service and food quality we're a bit lacking, but I will always come back to Mayahuel for the pozole verde !

I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food!
