Maya Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Passaic

The taco craving hit us one Sunday so we decided to pick some up on our way home from running errands, at around 1:30. There is street parking so if you wait around long enough, you’ll be able to get a spot. We had the birria tacos, al pastor, and lengua. We originally wanted to try the oreja and campechanos but they didn’t have it that day. These are probably the best quesabirria tacos I’ve had in the area. I’m normally not a huge fan because it usually ends up being soggy, and I don’t really like braised meat, as it tends to be dry. That wasn’t the case here. The tacos were still crispy 20 minutes later, and the meat wasn’t dry. It was stuffed to the max with beef and cheese. The broth was also very good and not watery like most other places tend to be. The al pastor tacos and lengua tacos were also very good. They’re a bit smaller than similar taco spots in the neighborhood but it’s quality over quantity here. If they added fresh pineapple to the pastor, it would have brought the taco over the top. I also enjoyed their homemade (sauces). They have a kick to it but be careful with the dark chipotle looking one. One drop of that, and you’ll be good.

Will definitely be back for some more tacos. Hopefully next time, they’ll have the oreja...

This place is underrated, Tacos at 1.25$ mi genteee....We order here frequently as a Mexican I have to say it's become on of my fav casual mexican spots... they have Aguachiles, the Tinga Tostadas are amazing (Chicken slow cooked in Tomato and Chipotle sauce), Tacos Al Pastor (pork) and Bistec (steak), and I ordered a side of nopales(grilled cactus) to complete the order. The place is family run and I love it feels like I'm home. Horchata is good not overly sugary and they have jarritos all the Mexican sodas...if you're looking for something authentic this is the spot dont forget to ask for both salsa...

Me and my friend took a chance in this spot since there was already so many in the area …. And I’ll be coming back every time ! Customer service was top notch and very polite explaining the menu to me and sizes. Very quick timing on the food too and great flavor and taste on the tacos. Food came out fresh and HOT ! Which I absolutely love, many restaurants keep the food on hold or have it sitting but this came freshly off the stove. My friend had a bowl of steak & rice with beans and was absolutely in love as well ! Great food for the price and I...
