Overall, TACOS MAYA is described as vibrant and authentic with a wide range of tasty tacos such as birria, rib eye, al pastor and cochinita, plus standout sides like guacamole and churros; many diners praise fresh ingredients, generous portions, approachable prices and a flavorful, well balanced menu, with halal options and vegetarian friendly choices noted; the horchata and dulce de leche churros are frequent must tries, and the atmosphere is often described as welcoming, lively and family friendly with friendly staff and fast service; a few reviews mention hiccups like occasional order mix ups, language quirks and a chilly dining area and a self service setup, but the overall sentiment remains highly positive and repetitive recommendations emphasize TACOS MAYA as one of the best taco spots in the city and a place to return to.
Very overpriced for the portions & the quality. Poor service. Tables were dirty & when we notified them, they only pointed at the cleaning products!
You have much better options for the same price!

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

The girl at the cash was horrible. Messed up my order 3 times. Doesn't speak Spanish (not that i do lol but it's a Mexican resto & people came in & ordered in Spanish & she couldn't serve them). The chef was Indian. Empanadas came out dark dark brown & crumbed before you could eat. Totally burnt. She said'she microwaved them too long' ordered 3 at $5 each, threw them out at the resto. Tacos were good. Guacamole good. Total bill was $120 3 ppl. Tipped 15% but if I knew wouldn't have tipped her at all messed up the order. Problem is tip is on ordering at beginning who knew she knew nothing about restaurants. When I complained just had an excuse. I went because it had good reviews. Anyways was disappointed. If someone wants to get it touch with me from the resto I can explain in detail.
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!

Personnel très irrespecteux. J'ai attendu une demi heure pour recevoir ma commande, ils me donnent la mauvaise chose, & en plus ils s'obstinent avec moi quand je leur dis qu'ils ont fait une erreur. Je n'ai jamais vu d'employés aussi impolis; énorme manque de respect. C'est la première fois de ma vie que j'ai dû exiger un remboursement. Vous n'êtes pas près de me revoir.
My fiancee & i were staying in Montreal & decided to stop at TacosMaya. We both got cochinita porc tacos (3 each). Wow! Very good. Be prepared for a filling meal. Some places 3 tacos don't fill fill you up. I am currently stuffed writing this. Shout out to our cook/server Nate (he is amazing & so nice). A honourable mention also is the non-alcoholic sangria drink. Its very very good just a bit pricy. Worth it though!
