Maya Taco Truck — Restaurant in New York

Although it's listed as "Taco Truck" on Google Maps, this food truck is actually called Tacos Maya. It's our favorite taco truck in Queens, so we have no problem with this place being listed as THE taco truck in the area. The unmarked neon green truck is parked on the south side of Jamaica Ave. between 143th and 144th St. The marker on Google Maps is accurate. There are quite a few meats to choose from, but our favorites are Maya chili carnitas, chorizo, oreja, and campechano. The chili carnitas is crispy, the chorizo is homemade, and the campechano is a fun mix of different meats. The oreja (pig's ear) is very unique and delicious. Given that Chinese eat pig's ear as a cold appetizer dish, we really enjoy the warm grilled version wrapped in corn tortillas. We have tried many taco trucks in Queens (especially in Corona), but we like the flavor at Tacos Maya best. As a given for food truck, everything is freshly made after ordering, and price is very reasonable, but cash only. There are currently no listed hours on Google Maps, but they supposedly open every day at 7:00PM and close at 3:00AM for "normal" days and 5:00AM...

The food was hot, fresh, and delicious! I would have given this place 5 stars but the wait time was a little too long. Next time I will call in my order which seems to be what all the locals do. The guy taking orders was a little soft spoken and English seems to be a slight barrier but we got the job done! The chef fixes food in order and cleans the grill between each one. I’m not sure what time they come park on Jamaica ave but they stay open late! Google maps led me to the exact location....

Here's what you need to know. The food is good. I tried the quesedilla. It tasted fresh and was hot. It was a sizeable portion. I pay close attention to how clean food trucks are, and I have to say, both the truck and the way the food was handled seemed pretty sanitary. I'd eat here again. Call ahead at least 15 minutes before to avoid a wait. You can inquire about menu prices when you call. Life is short....
