Really rude and nasty cashier, don’t know why any establishment would hire someone like that. Mediocre food with flies everywhere, stay away

The tacos are so-so but the chips and nachos are worth seeking out -- slightly chewy (but in a good way!) and they hold up well for takeout.

What drew me to this place was they marketing themselves as California style Mexican food, I pictured the amazing Mexican food I used to get at Taqueria Pancho Villa in the Mission in SF.
I tried their Special Burrito and I was not impressed at all, a lot of rice and occasionally you might bump into a small piece of chicken, I thought they are trying to save money in the wrong places.
Also the Salsa bar, that’s all the charm of the Cali Mexican style, it was not impressive, water down sauces, none of them were actually spicy!
The backyard is nice but on Vanderbilt everyone likes to sit on the sidewalk, why not have outdoor seating like everyone else!
The service was good.

We were there for lunchtime. I’m sharing our experience to help the staff be better.
The chicken tacos were stringy and hard to chew. Had to get up and get cutlery to eat my rice & beans which were delicious. We sat in the backyard. There were droppings from the trees above, spider webs above on the grid that’s there to stop tree debris which didn’t do a good job. Puddle of water in the corner booth.
This place can be so much more if only the staffing was more professional. Thank goodness I carry Lysol wipes the table wasn’t cleaned from previous guests.. DO BETTER!!!

Food was absolutely dreadful! Somehow dry and soggy at the same time. Sloppy tacos with mountains of old shredded lettuce piled on top. What a disappointing waste of money.

Ordered from the Maya app to ensure that the restaurants' own drivers are paid and skip paying food apps. Unfortunately, we received the worst quesadilla of my life. A dry griddled flour tortilla with peppers and onions (which cost extra) and ZERO CHEESE! Unable to contact restaurant on app. Chose not to waste my time on phone.

Don’t waste your time going there the food is okay and the service sizes for there meat is little to none the an arm and a leg for a burrito and don’t get your order right

Low Key Taco and Queseria with excellent ambiance. Would definitely try again!!

I don’t know what’s going on with this place. Their food is usually good but they’ve been having noticeable issues. I ordered a bowl tonight and there was a huge piece of avocado shell in my food. This is just plain sloppy. I’ve had uncooked rice and other hard stuff in my food before. I think I’m done with Maya.

It’s fine

I love maya taqueria but this one is poorly managed and the man running it is rude and clueless. We ordered takeout and never received the meal.. after waiting 45 min with our small child wanting to get home for sleep, we gave up with no explanation or apology. I’m not sure why they think they can treat people like this in an area with so many other options.
