Tacos Maya serves authentic Mexican street-style tacos made with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and a touch of tradition — bringing the vibrant taste of Mexico to every bite.
TACOS MAYA is described as a fresh, authentic, and affordable spot for Mexican fare in Montreal, with the birria beef and cochinita pork tacos singled out for flavor, along with pastor, ribeye, and chicken options; the churros and horchata are often noted as excellent, and the salsas are considered essential. The food is said to be generous, well seasoned, and prepared with care, with many diners calling it the best tacos they've had in the city. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and fast, with a welcoming atmosphere, while the space is noted as small but clean and nicely decorated, and a few comments mention temperature control and occasional inconsistency in texture. Value tends to be viewed as good for the quality, with halal and vegetarian options available, and overall the reviews point to TACOS MAYA as a popular, vibrant spot that reliably delivers flavorful, fresh dishes reminiscent of Mexico.
We had a hankering for some tacos & randomly picked Tacos Maya from a number of taco restaurants in the area based on the good reviews. We were certainly happy with the food as it was vibrant & delicious! We had the chips & guacamole, beef birria & cochinata pork tacos which were all fantastic. Highly recommended!
Un petit coin du Mexique à quelques pas du métro Mont Royal...
L établissement est petit, propre & bien décoré selon la thématique mexicaine. Le personnel est très sympathique & la nourriture est abordable (à portée de bourse pour un lunch sur le pouce!)
J y ai mangé les meilleurs tacos birria de toute mon existence. Viande tendre, garnitures généreuses, bouillon savoureux. Un mélange parfait d épices, de faicheur & de fromage fondu. Je recommande de les commander all dressed.
Avec un peu d imagination: Il manquait juste d avoir les pieds dans le sable, un cocktail à la main & de se laisser bercer par le bruit des vagues pour se retrouver dans une tienda en bord de plage quelque part au Mexique!
J y retournerai assurément & ce dans les plus brefs delais ( j en suis accro!!)
Muchas gracias y a la proxima vez!

Probamos el Burrito de Rib Eye y unos tacos de Birria. Todo estuvo muy rico y bien servido. Precio justo por la comida. Excelente servicio de los chicos
The birria & al pastor tacos were phenomenal, best I've had in Montreal. The dulce de leche churros are also a must order. They came warm & were truly great. Would highly recommend this spot.

I was craving birria tacos last night & I came across this place on instagram reels. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, the flavor was immaculate & just bursts into your mouth from the first bite. The churros were a treat as well! It was really well packaged & reasonably priced. I totally recommend if you're looking for some good, juicy birria tacos or any Mexican dish.
WOW ! All I can say is wow ! Karan was an absolute pleasure & helpful with recommendations. My friend got the steak tacos & I got the beef birria tacos & I devoured them. So flavourful, such a perfect portion & the ambiance & vibe are super comfortable too. Come here for tacos.
This place has the bones of a fantastic taqueria. The highlight was the ribeye tacos, charred & toasted perfectly. The salsas are nice & the guy who seems to be running the place is a lovely person.
It's pretty new so I'm hoping my complaints are just because they are getting into their groove but:
- it's my second visit & it's just a bit inconsistent even on the same day. Sometimes it's toasted sometimes soggy this goes for the char on the ribeye as well
- the birria also suffers from this - needs to be crispier
- the pastor was mediocre - nothing like what you get in New York or Mexico City from
a proper trumpo
- the ventilation is terrible so be ready to walk out smelling like you can be eaten
- otherwise it was solid, I'm hoping to come back & try their burritos as well as letting them figure out their systems cause it was pretty disjointed but understandable since they have only been open for a few weeks
Listen to me. The food there is magical. I had 2 birria tacis, 2 rib-eye tacos, 2 grilled chicken tacos. & I thought I was done ? I wasn't. I added one birria burrito & 3 nutella churros. Everything was beyond exceptional. Did I mention the food was magical ? It is unreal, I did not know mouths could have orgasms until tonight. Go there & thank me later.
The food was so good & the staff was very friendly. I had the beef birria tacos & nutella churros. The music was a good vibe & overall great experience!!
I ate the Birria beef tacos & it was wonderful. Staff was super friendly & the desserts were amazing. Great place to eat well & spend quality time with friends
