Taco Maya began with the desire to provide a unique dining experience by combining authentic Mexican food, as well as fusion items inspired from various cultures. To us, that meant quality food and people. Our goal was simple, to open a restaurant serving delicious food made from scratch with the freshest ingredients. Taco Maya offers a cozy, warm and family-oriented ambiance.
We value the importance of a family night-out or a business meeting. We are passionate about our dishes, each one made from heart and designed with pride from head Chef Patricio Elizondo. The unique taste is paired with a welcoming atmosphere and superb customer service that you will remember.

We ended up here literally by accident, a car accident We were quickly distracted from this drama by the friendly service, free seasoned chips, and salsa that was so good I wanted to drink it. Their empanada are filled with meat and gooey melted cheese. Cant go wrong with their tacos priced at just a few bucks and totally worth it. I washed it all down with a watermelon margarita. To top it all off our waiter gave us free fresh hot crispy churros drizzled with caramel and chocolate. Will definitely come back.

The place is cute and offers $12 lunch specials as well as an open salsa bar. Personnel was attentive and helpful. I thought it was good to try, but I’m not itching to go back as my chicken was not very hot. The complimentary chips and salsa was a nice perk!

OMG!!! So good!!! Was close by and needed a quick bite and this place blew me away. It’s counter service but upgraded. You order at the counter and they bring out your food and then check up on you too to make sure all is good. Nice vegetarian options. Very fresh!!! They bring you warm chips and warm fresh salsa that was so tasty. They also have a salsa bar with a variety of yummy salsas. The burritos were grilled to perfection and big enough to be filling but not so big, that you have to unhinge your jaw to eat them. The young man who took my order, and checked up on me was very welcoming, friendly, and seemed to genuinely care about my experience. For a casual spot it is definitely a class act. They have comfortable seating inside, and even have a nice little patio area outside. It was too early in the day to try the cocktails but I’ll definitely return.

Came here after a really depressing night and it really changed my mood. Unfortunately, I did not have the proper appetite to fully appreciate the food, but it did smell delicious and I am sure I will be pleased when I return. The service was amazing and Excalibur. The bathroom’s was clean to preciseness. And the food came out in a decent time that I did not mind. During the wait I just went outside and practice my yo-yo . Can’t wait to return.

These guys are amazing!! The food was very fresh and well-presented. Delicious tacos and taco salads. Loved all of the salsas too! We were surprised with a very generous birthday dessert treat that really made our whole day! It was truly so special and we felt so welcome, satisfied, and happy after our meal!

I was excited to eat here because there is a Taco Maya on state street downtown and the food was amazing. This location is not that great. The chips are not made there, they seem to be from a bag and the tacos are okay. Pretty disappointed, The staff was really nice and the atmosphere is relaxing.

I was skeptical at first but I’ve been here like 5 times now and it’s slapped every time. I feel like tacos are getting crazy expensive nowadays for nothing special and let me tell ya, the Tacos here stand out from your everyday cantina. I would not call it traditional at all, but if you want some reasonable priced unique tacos, this is the spot. They also have like 7 different salsa which are all amazing, and they aren’t stingy about it either. Keep doing what they are doing here and they will do well.

This new location is so clean, and open. Lots of seating, and beautiful light fixtures. Tacos were seasoned well, I had the Chicharrón & shrimp tacos. Elotes was good as well. Please try the Nashville hot tacos, if you’re scared of heat that’s okay. They are mild enough for everyone to enjoy. Thanks Taco Maya! Welcome to Lakeview.
