Reviews For Taco Maya

Great tacos, guacamole and variety of salsas. Just visited again and better then I remembered. Everything was excellent. I tried two different varieties of tacos both were excellent. The steak one was very flavorful and very good. I like the salsa bar cuz you could get all different types of sauces at different levels of feet. The hots also was very good. I recommend going there when you're in the area and try a couple different things. They give you unlimited chips while you're eating your meal which is a nice bonus. Another visit and it did not disappoint. The Korean beef taco is excellent and the rib eye with chimichurri was outstanding. You must try this place.

Parshad and Vedank are always great. Also Miguel. Shrimp tacos always on point. Like the Chignon tacos too...a little spicy which is what I like. It is a good vibe place. Happy atmosphere...good for everyone.

Great food. Super friendly staff. Even though it’s a walk up, counter style restaurant, they still give you a basket of chips along with delicious warm salsa. We had a mix of all different tacos and they were all delicious. Only thing I will say is that the rice was little bit bland. Salsa bar was awesome too. I think they are one of few places that have this. Avocados Mild is one of my favorite. If you are looking for a Mexican joint in the area and do not really care much about super traditional Mexican food but care more about delicious taste, this is the place for you.

Great food, and if you like salsas, they have a good amount to choose from. Food is a good, great atmosphere. But I've only been here in the morning when there aren't too many people.

We will stop here everytime we drive by because my daughter is obsessed with the fried ice cream. Next time we go we will try to remember take pictures of everything before we eat. We recommend the shrimp enchiladas, steak tacos, horchata & of course fried ice cream. And the salsa bar!

Fusion Mexican restaurant with some Indian items such as samosa taco and chicken tick. We took 2, 3 taco plates which come with your choice of tacos rice and beans. This seems like the best deal given that each taco is 4-5. There is an assortment of condiments all free. They also give tortilla and chips. The best part is hat it is self service so you don’t have to tip but they do add a 3% fee which you can asked to waive off. See photo. Service is quick and lots of seating. It was not crowded when we went for lunch o. Saturday.

One of the better taco places in the area, also one of the priciest. Guacamole was fresh. Elotes were flavorful and creamy. They ran out of pastor at the time of our visit but the shrimp and steak were great.
