Taqueria Tren Maya — Restaurant in Town of Colonie

Heard of this place from our son and thought we would try it out. Was a Friday night and the place was not even packed. Between the tables and booths there was a total of nine. Very friendly staff. We ordered at the counter and then sat down, they do have table service also. All food is made to order and it did not take long to get. Food came out hot and was very good. They do not sell alcohol so you won't have a margarita with you dinner. They do make a fresh mango smoothie that is excellent. For only $3.00. So we ordered the 1st time there a beef Tamale with verde sauce, comes with rice and beans. A beef burrito, and pork tacos. All the food was excellent and came out hot. Upon our second visit we ordered pork tacos, 2 chicken quesidilla's one had tomatoes and onion, the other was a plain one. You get 4 over big pieces. Ordered the beef enchiladas, comes with rice and beans also. And a beef burrito. Also ordered a mango smoothie and a order of fresh cut fruit. Everything was excellent and the portions sides are very big. Would recommend and gone back again. There also was a lot of orders for grubhub...

I decided to bring my mom here on a random trip because it had great reviews. What a mistake. First, the person taking my order didn't understand enough English to even know what I was trying to order. I had to repeat myself multiple times to simply order a burrito with beans, cheese, and rice. That's it. He didn't understand and took it as a vegetable burrito, which was completely wrong. It didn't even have beans or cheese, and my mom said it was so disgusting she couldn't eat it. I ordered tacos which were very lack luster, hardly any flavor, and made my stomach hurt. Not to mention, the place was not clean. The floors were covered in a thick coating of grease, so they were very slippery. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and say this was a one-off situation, but i will not be returning to this...

So tasty! Very authentic experience. The food was great and really reasonably priced. Note: the lovely Mexican family running the establishment don’t understand/speak English well so have your google translate app open and ready. The menu is simple but a little hard to navigate (again refer to google translate app where you can scan the menu and it will give you the english translation) !Ive tried the Al pastor and Pollo tacos and of course Birria quesadilla with chips and (the best * chunky*flavor packed guac I’ve ever had. This is my new go to taco spot!!

note: they do not have a kids menu, but it’s very kid friend for dining in. I brought my mom sister and niece for dinner and they made my niece the cutest quesadilla with a little salad, she loved it! (Pictured with the bite...
