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.
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
Very nice restaurant with very tasty 🌮 even better taste than 3 Amigos I had beef chicken thanks tacomaya the customer service was great also 5$ special in porc taco

Absolutely delicious from start to finish! The tacos biria were fresh, flavorful, & perfectly made - a great spot in Montréal.
Special mention to Nate, who was amazing with my two boys: kind, patient, & genuinely attentive. A wonderful experience overall. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend
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 tacos are on point! Great portions, everything taste fresh & there's a unique blend of chilies in the consume. The Masa was delicioso, & the guac can be eaten alone 🤤

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
Truly one of the best tacos I've had! We tried the 5$ tacos each deal & I found it sooo worth it. I will say that the 5$ can add up to a lot especially when you're not just paying for yourself ;) The atmosphere is amazing there was music playing playing! & the food... oh the food as AMAZING!!!! Me & my family were lowk fighting over the last taco lol 😆
Highlyyyy recommend!! Extremely inviting owner & great costumer service, was very accommodating after a small misunderstanding. Food was amazingggg, the best birria tacos, tender meat. New renovated, im honestly impressed. Definitely my to go place now when walking in Mont-Royal.
