It's a must-visit destination for taco aficionados seeking exceptional quality and flavor.

What an awesome establishment! Taco Maya has locations all over; I've been to the Bloomingdale and Rosemont locations and I loved both.

First of all the staff here is amazing. Beyond welcoming, hospitable, and hard working. They're so polite and quick!

The food is on a whole other level. The chicken tinga tacos, samosa tacos, churros, and loaded fries were phenomenal. I'm still thinking about the fries. One thing I love about this place is it's not just Mexican but also a mix of Indian and American food. Truly the perfect spot for vegetarians, too! The salsa bar is an amazing feature, as well.

You already know I'll be back!

Taco Maya combines flavorful Mexican food as well as fusion food items from other cultures.

Loved the salsa bar offering a variety of red and green salsas. I loved the jalapeno creme..rich and creamy with just the right amount of heat.

We shared their Fries A La Mexicana which was their take of nachos except they used waffle fries. Topped with queso,ico de Gallo,jalapenos,guac and sour creme.

They offer over 27 different types of tacos! We tried their Chicken Tinga and Veggie Fiesta tacos. Both were fantastic. Served with rice and refried beans.

Of course for dessert you have to try their homemade churros topped with caramel and chocolate sauce...yummy.

They offer a variety of Margaritas mixed with their own FINO tequila. The House Margarita is delicious and refreshing.

I will definitely go back as I have 25 more tacos to try!

Not your normal taco joint.

This is very different, and you may notice when you walk in. I got a chance to meet the owner(s) of Taco Maya and realized the cultural diversity of this establishment.

It's tacos so you expect Mexico/Mexican to be the culture, but it has Indian influence as well. You may notice that by seeing the 27 different tacos on the menu and realizing that some aren't really Mexican tacos. They have samosa and empanada tacos as well.... giving it that fusion flavor.

There's a variety of salsa to try....so it's not just 1 salsa with your chips. The food is very good and with such a large selection I'll have to go back for more.

One of the owners also is a co-owner of Fina Tequila. I would consider this to be a sipping tequila. They do have margaritas which are good and made with real juice, and they use Fina Tequila. I mention this because sipping tequila doesn't have that strong alcohol taste that makes you shake your head. When you get your margarita you may wonder if there's any tequila at all, but most likely if you don't taste it that's because of the better quality tequila.

Lastly, they do have a party room in the back that you can book for parties or events. You would never realize an extra room was back there.

Here's what I do when dinner time dilemma hits - I go to Yelp and see what's around. And that's exactly how I found Taco Maya. One word - Delicious!!

We were going to order 3 separate American style ground beef tacos on corn tortillas, but the friendly cashier at the counter suggested we order the 3 taco plate for just $6 more you also get rice and beans. Great idea! We also placed an order of churros for dessert.

The food all tasted so fresh!! Great flavor and textures. The taco plate was great as was the dessert. The Churros were crunchy when you took a bite and it came with a caramel and a chocolate sauce for dipping. They were both good and if I had to pick a favorite, this chocoholic surprisingly chose the caramel!

I would definitely come back next time I'm in town.

Overall (A)
This place is really good. Try it. The fusion selections are the best

Service (B+)
So I was there for an Elite event and I think they were trying there best but were having a tough time keeping up. For both the elite event and for the patrons up front it was taking upwards of 20 minutes between plates of food at the same table. So someone would be done eating before another even got their food...at the same table. Made for awkwardness at the event and some slightly unhappy patrons up front. With some training for situations like these things will be fine.

But Everyone is super friendly and nice. They just needed a few more helping hands to make the food. All the staff is extremely friendly and nice. I'm sure if it wasn't an Elite event night then they would have been able to provide "A" or "A+" service.

Value (A)
It's a good deal. I wish I lived closer so I could take advantage of the $9.99 lunch special - three tacos, rice and beans. Since it was an event my meal was free. But we have been there other times and it's a good value. Did end up buying the awesome Fried Ice Cream which is probably meant to be shared by 3-4 individuals for $7 - great value

Quality (A)
It's really good. Get the Fries Mexicana when you go for appetizers - it's a unique dish and a crowd favorite. Safe bet for sharing. I am a meat eater and usually only pick meat items on the menu - but the veggie items are really good here - especially the veggie fest taco. Order it - even if you are a meat person. The chicken tinga taco was also really good. The fried ice cream is a must have. Order it! You won't regret it. It's really really really good.






Pro Tip - try items that are not what you can get at mainstream or authentic Mexican places. The real unlock for Taco Mayo is the ability to create fusion tastes - those are the best tacos.

It was an extremely humid day. Why not come inside for some tacos? This was my first visit to a Taco Maya. The front of the restaurant is average size, and then they have a back room to hold private events. The bathrooms are single stall, so you may have to wait for them to be available.

Here's what I had:

Chips and salsa
Tacos (chicken and vegetarian), refried beans, and rice
Mexican fries (waffle)
Churros
Guava margarita

They had multiple types of salsa. My favorite was the Verde. Overall, my favorite dish was the churros.

I was in the back event room, and it did get pretty humid. The tables were close, and it felt we were on top of each other sometimes.

The restaurant staff are nice. The head chef puts a lot of passion into his recipes.

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend my first Yelp Elite event at Taco Maya. Great food and great conversation with other Yelpers. Fascinating conversation with so many people.

The event was held in their back room which had about 50 of us. It's a great space for a special event. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They created a very festive environment.

I'll cut to the chase. The food is awesome. Their tacos have got to be the best I've ever had. And I have had a lot of tacos! We were served the chicken tinga taco which had some great flavor and a little kick of spiciness. Their veggie fiesta taco blew my mind. So fresh and great textures! On either side of the main course, we had chips and a variety of salsas which were great. We also were served at our table a serving of Fries A La Mexicana, waffle fries loaded with wonderful toppings. On the other side of the meal, the dessert was a caramel-filled churro with chocolate sauce and honey. Killer!

Not to be outdone, their fresh margaritas were superb. Made with fresh juices and their premium home brand of tequila, they were light and refreshing.

After the event, I brought home 3 other tacos for my wife that she raved over. Their shrimp taco, samosa taco, and signature taco were eaten with a voracity that I've not seen before. Did I mention their salsa bar? They have a great variety to please any pallet.

Go check out their extensive menu and get over there sooner than later.

Went to Taco Maya for the first time last night and the food and vibe was amazing. The chicken tinga taco is so delicious! It's so hard to get tinga right and this place def met my tinga expectations lol

For food/drinks:

10/10 -fries a la mexicana: LOVED that they use waffle fries instead of the normal chips for this! Similar to loaded nachos but with fries - super delicious

9/10 - tinga taco: spices were so delicious, really loved it

8/10 - vegetarian fiesta taco: I've never had a vegetarian taco before and surprisingly I didn't "miss" the meat

10/10 - Barbie margarita: was not overly sweet and tasted very fresh! You can taste a difference in their tequila (which one of the owners supplies from her tequila business) and it def elevated the drink IMO

9/10 - churros with caramel and chocolate sauce: not overly sweet and tasted very very fresh! Really loved this dessert

The owners and staff and very close and like family and you can definitely see that in how they interact together and make the place so welcoming. Shout out to Patricio for the amazing family recipes and bringing his culture in the kitchen. Food is made with love and you can feel it!

So happy I tried out this place and I hope to be back soon to try more of the 27 different tacos they offer.

I have never heard of Taco Maya but had the opportunity to try their food tonight and man am I shook at how yummy their food is. It is in a little strip mall with tons of parking outside which is always a plus. You could never have known at how big the place actually is by looking at the outside. They have a party room in the back that can accomodate quite a bit of people where you can have baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays and even office events.

I tried the watermelon margarita with tajin and it was pretty darn good and you can certainly taste the tequila. THEIR own brand of tequila which was quite smooth! Definitely a must try. I wish I ordered a straight shot of their own tequila to REALLY taste the alcohol. Always next time.

Waffle fries with queso and guac was pretty delicious for an appetizer. Vegetarian taco in flour tortilla was BOMB! Chicken taco in corn tortilla was just ok. A bit dry on both the chicken and the corn tortilla but maybe it's just me since my mind already made up that the vegetarian taco was way better already. Churros....ahhhhh.....I am biased but who doesn't love a warm, fresh, crunchy, sugar coated, with whipped cream drizzled in caramel and chocolate churros. Rice was pretty yummy too but I am Chinese so I LOVE RICE!

The menu is just unbelievable! 27 different varieties of tacos. TWENTY SEVEN!!! Anything and everything you can think of. Imma have to come back multiple times just to try them all!
