Quite disappointing

Spent $5 on a taco here expecting a pretty small/measly street taco and was pleasantly surprised with an absolutely loaded chicken taco. Food was pretty high quality and very tasty, pretty unbeatable for the price too - can't really remember the last time I was able to get a beer and a meal for under $15 in this area

Maya has great customer service. Young lady at the checkout is very nice. Location is spotless inside. I find the food incredibly bland and because it’s tasteless this is not worth the prices bring charged. When I think Mexican food from Mexico, it’s fresh, flavorful. Flavorful pico, flavorful rice but the pico literally tastes like nothing. It’s def maya bc the taco truck makes flavorful pico and food. I have visited 3 times before writing this. I want them to be successful but at this time would pick something else for the cost.

Ordered a taco salad to go. Overdressed, relatively tasteless chicken and the tiniest serving of guacamole I think I’ve ever received from a restaurant. Over $20.
The ingredients were fresh I guess, but I only ate here because it’s open late.
I’ll try the steak next time I’m inevitably up late.

This was a nice little place, not fancy. It's not really a dine in place. The tall guy that runs the place is very nice and checked on us. MAYA IMHO is a take-out , order place. The food is delicious and fresh and you must buy the margaritas maybe two. lol ? So stop by and get some food, or even better , order in and don't forget the margaritas.

Here’s the thing about Maya Taqueria: they will deliver on time, every time. They will be quality, they will give you exactly what you want when you want it; and that is very important. I am never disappointed by Maya‘s delivery service, and most of the time I am astonished by the reliability and quality of their service. The extra chips they include? Phenomenal. The freshness of their ingredients is great. I’m a big fan of Maya Taqueria. They will continue to receive my business from here until eternity!

Would suggest not ordering from their app as to hold them accountable. Cold, dry, and 40 minutes later than they said. No apology. Driver did not read the directions. Would not order from this location again.
The tacos were so juicy and fresh! The tortilla chips are homemade and they have a cute little salsa station. The vibe is definitely California taco but the meat reminds me of the tacos i recently had while at Resort Mayab near Chichén Itzá. Juicy meat, that has been slow cooking for hours!

Food was bland, soggy, overpriced and slow. Please don't malign my home state by calling in California style.First, lots of sticker shock: every add-on is obscenely upcharged. Like $2 for a daub of sour cream.Second, I waited like a dingus for twenty minutes in an empty restaurant before they realized my order didn't go through.Third, Burrito came out soggy and 95% rice, beans and lettuce. (It cost $19.50. Oof.)One upside is free salsa, which is watery, and comes in containers that are too small to fit a chip into.My rating: Double frownie face:((
Service was terrible. Definitely not a California burrito. Took 30 min to make a burrito. Horrible customer service. I don’t suggest supporting them!

Came in around 3:30 pm on a Saturday not packed or busy at all and not sure why very good place spotless and clean good amount of space to sit I ordered a strawberry frozen margarita $14 and a steak taco with onions and cilantro $5.50 very good amount of meat they also had a salsa bar where there were 9 different salsas with different heat levels very hood! I paid a total of $24.74 this included the top I left. Would come back to try something else. Good place but I’ve had Mexican food from Mexico and when I ask for onions and cilantro I want onions and cilantro separately places not mixed however still good the steak was good but since it was not make fresh right then and there it was okay I would have liked a little more seasoning but the hot sauces make it better not world class but defiantly good . The margarita was a strawberry frozen it definitely has enough alcohol but it didn’t taste like strawberry tasted more like a classic but not bad at all

Tried this place out for the first time the other day because I work nearby. Dined indoors although I think take out is more popular. I ordered their enchilada with shredded chicken with green sauce, white rice with cilantro, and a side of refried beans. My partner ordered their burrito with steak. I also ordered their horchata.
The enchilada was super delicious and I highly recommend trying it. The refried beans were a bit strange since I'm accustomed to them being brown, but the ones served at Maya's were red? They weren't my favorite and were the only thing I left uneaten on my plate. Overall, my enchilada was demolished within 10 minutes. My partners burrito was really good also, their steak made it taste way better. He had gotten the chicken last time and he wasn't very impressed.
Their horchata is nice and not watery, but they add that ingredient that makes the drink super starchy tasting, thus leaving a dry film in my mouth and more thirsty. Not my favorite.
We also ordered tres leches cakes to go and those were nicely portioned, however, incredibly sweet. We couldn't keep eating it at all. The moistness of the cake was also inconsistent. Some parts of the cake were nicely moist with the condensed milk, and other parts were dry and crumbly. I wouldn't buy it again mostly due to the sickly sweetness of the dessert. I expected it to be more light and fluffy but instead it's just too sugary at the end of the day.
This place isn't bad, their meals are mostly delicious, and their staff is nice. The interior was bright and clean, with a few tables in the back. There is also a self serve sauce bar, which is fine, but some customers aren't exactly hygienic so I wish that was kept behind the counter instead of self-serviced.
This restaurant is also insanely pricey. I know that given the area and the demographic, Park Slope tax makes all the restaurants in the area more expensive than usual, but this place was $40+ for 2 people!! And mind you, that is including a 10% discount as hospital employees. I think in total we spent over $50 with the cakes to go.
I won't be frequenting this eatery but it does satisfy cravings for Mexican food in a pinch. I don't know if i can justify eating here though with their current prices. You would have to have a bigger budget for your weekly takeout if you're going to dine or take out from Maya's.
Overall, it's a decent place with pretty good food. Not great, but decent. For their prices, it's not worth the money unless you've got the budget for it. I would rather walk to 5th avenue to Homemade Taqueria for more affordable Mexican food with just as tasty offerings. For fellow hospital employees: they are open late which is convenient for those of us who work evening shift.
