Yummy tacos! The service was a bit slow but you could see the workers making everything from scratch so I don't mind. I tried the rib-eye tacos & they were really juicy & flavourful, but I found the meat to be a bit too fatty
Lorsque j'y suis allé, j'ai essayé le rib-eye & le birria & c'était très bon. Personnellement, le rib-eye était correct, mais pas surprenant alors que le birria était juste wow. J'aimerais souligner le fait que les tacos au boeuf & poulet sont halal!! Ce qui est une bonne chose selon moi, surtout pour ceux qui veulent manger des tacos plus traditionnel à Montréal. Pour ce qui est du service, le personnel est accueillant & sympathique. Nous avons été servi rapidement aussi. L'ambiance est correcte, un peu de musique, pas beaucoup de monde au moment où j'y étais. Le fait d'être juste en face de la station Mont-Royal est un plus pour moi, car c'est facile d'accès.
Pour finir je tiens à dire que l'option tacos est satisfaisante,mais ne m'a pas remplis. Je dirais que c'est une bonne collation si on passe par là, mais pas un repas pour tenir la journée ou la soirée (à moins de prendre des extras évidemment). Pour 3 tacos de chaque (6 au total), ça nous a coûté environ 35$, ce que j'ai trouvé un peu cher pour la quantité offerte.
Tout de même, bonne expérience que je recommande à tout le monde & pour ma part, j'y retournerai certainement bientôt.

The food was fantastic. The meat was tender & full of flavor, but the real standout was the crusty tacos. They had this perfect crispy texture & super satisfying without being greasy. The cheese added richness without overpowering anything.
I tried the grilled chicken, al pastor, & cochinita. All three were excellent, but the cochinita easily stole the show. Each taco had a delicious, authentic?tasting sauce that tied everything together. They felt unique, memorable, & genuinely well crafted. Will go back & get ribeye

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.
We visited Tacos Maya & had a great experience. The staff were warm & genuinely smiley. We had the birria beef tacos & the rib eye burritos. They were delicious. Definitely coming back!
Loved the tacos here, the rib eye & birria tacos were definitely my favorites! The chicken was surprisingly really good too. I noticed that they have both hallal & non-hallal options too. I'm curious to try their burrito next time
