taqueria maya

some of the best mexican food i've ever had, some of the worst service i've ever had. enough said.

wow.. why this place isn't swamped is beyond me. best guacamole i have ever had out--the equal of any excellent homemade guacamole. fresh corn tortillas. tasty pollo con mole, fajitas, carne asada... all super fresh. not much on atmosphere but they were perfectly nice otherwise. this is going to be a regular place for us.

authentic mexican. this place is definitely authentic, almost stereotypically so. i believe a chinese carryout used to be here, and the empty menu boards are still up on the wall. it looks like they are somewhat in the process of remodeling, or perhaps they are done but the place doesn't quite look complete.
i'll have to agree with londomallari's assessment of the social aspect of this place. it is exceptionally awkward in here, as the only patrons besides my girlfriend and i were people speaking in spanish rather boisterously. the check cashing window in the back is sort of a strange thing to have in a restaurant.
the food was alright. it tasted fresh and looked good. it definitely wasn't the standard, formulaic tex-mex that is served in most mexican restaurants around here. the tacos were decent. the guacamole was made on the spot and was indeed pretty good.
it's really cheap food, so i can't complain there. i doubt i'll go back due to the food not being outstanding and the feel of it being a little awkward. it was okay, but i wouldn't recommend it.

love the carnitas. it's quick, affordable, and tasty!
i love the more traditional flavors of their tacos de carnitas! they have other daily specials that are on my list to try including taco de lengua and sopa de tripa.

best mexican food in the city. i used to live in southern california and was able to cross the border for real mexican food. this seriously rivals it. delicious, inexpensive and casual. the waitresses are very nice and give great service. the food comes our hot and just how you want it. seriously my favorite place to eat for authentic mexican food.

ate there again today. had the torta cubana and some of my wife's chicken quesadilla. acapulco, cazadores, el picante and all the rest.....you got nothin on this place.

holy crapballs this place is good! first, they have the best guacamole i have had in my entire life. then i had the tongue taco and the tripe taco. i thought i had died and gone to mexican heaven. this isn't a cookie cutter mexican restaurant. this is authentic mexican food. i will be back again and again. sweet jesus i think i'm in love!

damn tasty. you know that any restaurant that you can pay your gas bill at is going to be good!

very good. the food was wonderful - very authentic mexican. they had by far the best house-made guacamole in cinci area

pozole heaven !!!. to those less fortunate that have never tried pozole... (only the most amazing of soupy concoction with loads of fresh veggies, spices and meats (quite a bit of fat too) my condolences. all others, must come to taqueria maya. it is just right for colder weather too. for the record, i am not mexican or an expert. however maya is the only restaurant that makes pozole every day. it is delish.

hit the spot. on the lookout for a place to eat on sunday and after reading a review about taqueria maya, i suggested it to my boyfriend. so glad we decided to make the stop. everything was so fresh and so good. i ordered a burrito and when it came out, i almost fell over it was so big. my boyfriend ordered their fajitas and declared that they were the best he had ever had. the guacamole looked like they had just whipped it up when we ordered it, it was that fresh. it was slightly chunky and you could see the ingredients. it was a bit spicy for me but still quite tasty. like someone else said, the traffic on fields ertel is worth the hassle. just thinking about it, i am craving it again.

taqueria maya is an authentic mexican restaurant at 9996 kings auto mall dr., tucked away in a mostly deserted strip mall next to a lenscrafters. the place is owned, at least partially, by the same folks who brought us taqueri

fantastic food!! most authentic mexican fare in the city.

i am really getting tired of your average mexican cuisine in cincinnati. so much of it is just an americanized idea of what mexican is- americanized into bland, yet humongous portions that anyone from, say, california or texas looks at with disgust and co

great!. they also deliver for the locals!!

this is what authentic is about!. this place is great. occasionally i get a craving for some real mexican and this is my remedy! i love their tortas. not a fan of the traffic on fields ertel but it is worth the hassle. make sure that if they do not give them to you, ask for their homemade sauces and try each one.
