Maya’s Taqueria - Authentic Mexican Food

"This was the best Mexican food I’ve had in Westchester, hands down. It was delicious, fresh, and cooked to perfection. It seems to be more of a takeout spot, as there are only three sit down tables, but we ate inside and were greeted with wonderful hospitality. Maya Riviera nearby is much more of a sit down restaurant, but the quality of the food is very mediocre and does not even come close to Maya’s Taqueria!"

"Wonderful taqueria with large portion sizes and thoughtful staff. I've eaten TexMex all my life, and this is some top tier food. Even the beans were tasty (which many Mexican restaurants don't put much effort into). The aftertaste was comfortable, which is something I value a lot with restaurant food. Also, even though we dined in, they gave us containers that seal reliably for takeout and speedy, near-perfect service. When my parents visit the area, I really want to take them here. The only tricky factor is that the taqueria is not very big. With 3-4 tables for guests, I suppose most of the frequent guests do takeout. We went around ~2 PM and there was basically no room for more in-person guests. I would say it's good to visit if you don't mind roaming around Pleasantville if there's no space. I don't have a particular item I recommend. It was nice to have a salad, but in the words of Eunie from Xenoblade Chronicles 3, should have sought something a little meatier. There's a nice pairing of flavors, especially fresh ingredients, and with their cooking being better than my own, it was a bang for the buck. Since portion sizes are large, you really don't need an appetizer to be full. Flavors are very savory and sweet. There is a tinge of dryness, but the profile of flavors outweighs that. Appreciated the complimentary nachos and mint. Edit: Visited again! Still delicious, but realized that the beans and rice are essential for squashing any potential oiliness in the aftertaste. Staff were kind & professional even though we intruded on holiday (Cinco de Mayo!)."

"This is a small, casual, takeout spot with a few tables (inside and out, if you’d like to stay and eat), but MOST IMPORTANTLY, their tacos are EXCELLENT! I had the vegetarian ones and was surprised at how flavorful they were. Also, the host/server Jeffrey was great! He was very attentive and gave us advice on which tacos to pick. WE WILL BE BACK!"

"Cozy and clean, staff are friendly, food is amazing! Glad we found this place! The best nacho fries that we've ever had!"
