We tried taco dinner(asada, lomo & al pastor) and chimichanga. Salsa and chips served and they make fresh guacamole to your liking. Loved it!!! Our horchata and Jamaica were super large cups and tasted delicious and fresh. 100% recommend this little place.“

“One of the last few places I've found that makes it feel worth it to spend money eating out. Absolutely some of the best food I've eaten (try the chicken tinga quesadilla!), reasonable and affordable prices, great service and warm atmosphere. I love the open kitchen layout, it makes me feel at-home and reminds me of cooking with my mom 🤍. You won't regret coming here.“

“Cesar was the very best! He accommodated our request in advance regarding an avocado allergy and even made suggestions of other items that would be over great value and taste. He’s an amazing waiter and look forward to revisiting and being in his section!“

“Fresh and good flavor. Not a big menu but burrito was outstanding.“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“Good tacos ! The steak tacos are really good here .“

“Small mom and pop taco spot with great food. Place is cash only i repeat cash only so dont forget your money. We had the Ribeye tacos very delicious and tender meat was well done, they also put grilled onions and peppers which adds more flavor to the 🌮. Be aware the peppers 🌶 are a bit spicy so eating them with their salsa might be too much spice for some people. I would do either or but you feeling adventurous try it with both. Pastor tacos were very flavorful comes with onion and cilantro. Asada tacos were rich in flavor well seasoned and not dry. These are hardy tacos 🌮 average person will get full with 2-3 tacos. Tortillas are oiled nicely and cooked well they hold their shape while eating after lime and salsa have been added doesn't get soggy or break apart. Over all great spot 9/10 👌 will eat here again. It is a small place so if it gets busy seating might be an issue they have 3 tables outside and a bit of counter seating inside.“

“I honesty love going to this place, the margaritas and food are delicious. The manager as well as the servers are really nice and they make sure you are well taken care of. The place itself is very pretty and clean. No complaints, I've gone here multiple times and will continue to go due to their delicious food and great service!!!!“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

“This is our first time here although it’s a chain restaurant the food was very very good. I would not call it truly authentic Mexican food but for a chain restaurant here in the US great atmosphere great food and ask for Carlos when you’re in.“

“Best I have had in a long time! Fantastic“

“Ambiance was fun, yet warm and authentic. Service was friendly and the food exceeded our expectations. We’ve been looking for an alternative to our regular Mexican restaurant. We will return.“

“Love this place! Incredible birria! Try the birria quesadilla and elote!“

“It’s always stressful trying out new places to eat & this was me this morning. I had the craving for tamales, I ordered the green chicken Oaxaca tamales, the normal green chicken tamale & a strawberry tamale. They were SO GOOD, I was honestly shocked. This is my new favorite tamale spot.“

“Don’t skip on this place! This restaurant is very very good and underrated. Service and food is amazing. Lady that was serving us explained it was her and her family’s business and they are extremely kind and accommodating. It is easily one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend. Enchiladas estilo Jalisco and flautas are my favorite. We can’t get enough! We hope they stick around for many many years to come.“

“Last week I was on my way to take my son for a haircut and decided to stop and eat here. It was my first time. Service was great and food delicious. I was not having a good day but tried my best to not show it. As I'm eating I saw a man come in. Eat by himself and then left. My surprise when I went to go pay. This man had paid for my food. Who ever it was Thank you so much if this is ever read. That was a beautiful gesture and completely made my day. I got my son his haircut and took him for some ice cream afterwards. I will definitely pay it forward“

“This is one of my favorite vegan Mexican restaurants. Chef Patricia is so sweet. I almost always get the Carne Asada burrito but I’ve loved everything I have tried. The nachos & tacso are so good too. The peanut butter cookies are probably the best I’ve ever had. I love the chocolate mini Bundt cake.“

“Fresh hot delicious homemade Mexican food.“

“First i do not like spicey food, I do like mexican food on the bland side. My husband likes his food spicy. We both would order again. I was very happy with food portion and flavor. I usually dont like salsa because I can't handle the spices, but here it was served warm and I ate it all! I would love to know what was in the salsa!“

“I be out there around to stop in try it out not far from the area“

“Chicken Torta with habanero sauce. Thank me later! Delicious food and great staff.“

“Absolutely incredible. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. The tacos are some of the best I’ve had, the food was flavorful and authentic, and the churros were AMAZING fresh out of the fryer. The portions were generous, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. Definitely one of those hidden gems that deserves way more attention. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I love it 😍 El México a Chicago“

“This place was good. I came here for lunch and ordered the 2.50$ chicken tinga lunch special taco. It was very flavorful and a good serving of the meat, also ordered the horchata since you need to order it with a drink. The service was great, people were very friendly and attentive.“

“Maya Tacos isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a whole vibe. You can eat, shop, walk around, come back and eat again (no judgment), grab a Starbucks, and catch a movie afterwards. My stomach has never been happier. Indian Spanish fusion done right, welcoming vibe, top notch salsa bar, and service that actually cares. Honestly? I go for the tacos, stay for the plaza energy, and leave with zero regrets. One of a kind.“

“Everything very delicious try the quesabirrias!“

“Excellent tacos and burritos here, with proteins including steak, chicken, beef, al pastor, lengua, tripa, carnitas, and cabeza. Also the vegetarian burrito is quite good. 5 stars!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh—seriously, even the water tasted super refreshing, which is a rarity!

I decided to try the marlin ceviche, and it was a game-changer. The marlin was perfectly marinated, bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. For my main dish, I ordered the huevos rancheros, and it did not disappoint! The eggs were cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich and savory sauce that tied everything together. Both dishes were so good that I found myself savoring every bite.

I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a great meal, I highly recommend visiting restaurant! You won’t regret it!“

“Delicious steak tacos and mild sauce 10/10!!“

“Great people who work here/run the restaurant and phenomenal food! My bf and I eat here at least once, if not twice a week lol“

“Small hole in the wall, family run type of place, in the best way!
Be prepared to wait outside, as there are only 7 tables and depending on weather it can get warm inside but the food is worth it!
They serve the BEST chilaquiles we've ever had!
We got sopecitos, chilaquiles with verde sauce and steak, the flavor combo and textures were perfect, the tortilla chips were still crunchy but covered in sauce and cheese, so good!
The cafe de olla is a must have! It's delicious and sweet but not overly so.
For the sensory sensitive weirdos, the long line outside and smaller interior was intimidating at first, but we only had to wait about 30 mins and once seated the service was fast and food was amazing, you forget about being so close to others.
Atmosphere 4 stars, only because the length and material of the table cloths were uncomfortable and trapped the heat under the table but the food and service are 10/10!“

“Birria tacos every plate with food on it it's authentic verry good tasting high quality“

“El Arroyito offers friendly service and delicious authentic Mexican food. We enjoyed the tacos and Chimichanga meals, both were filling and reminded me of meals I've had in Juarez.“
