The 2nd and 3rd visits were as satisfying as the 1st. We tried Taqueria Los Mayas several months ago. We ordered different dishes but both had mole which was memorable. Months later, I remembered how delicious the mole was and ordered it in the burrito bowl.
The dish was aesthetically pleasing and colorful: against the dark mole were crumbles of queso surrounded by purple pickled onions, red rice, greens, black beans, and sprinkles of sesame seeds.
On the 3rd visit, I tried the breakfast burrito. The eggs were perfectly scrambled and the potatoes were comforting. My hubby ordered the tortilla soup – fitting for a cold day – and the fish tacos, which he enjoyed very much. The fish was fresh and sauteed with a slight crisp.
Almost every dish came with tortilla chips. There’s a salsa bar with 3 salsas, one green (mild), one orange with mango (mild and our favorite), and one hot.
Will be back soon to have something with mole.

This was our second time visiting Taquería Los Mayas, and we had a great experience. Lupita, who was working the cashier, greeted us with a big smile and made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. She was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain a few dishes we had never tried before, which really helped us know what to expect. She even let us sample the aguas frescas so we could choose our favorite—such a thoughtful touch.
We visited on a Tuesday, which happened to be Taco Tuesday, and we ordered four carne asada tacos, a burrito, and a panucho. Everything was absolutely delicious. We also ordered a michelada, and we highly recommend it—the mix was super tasty and well balanced.
We also appreciated how clean and well-maintained the restaurant was. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, thanks in large part to Lupita’s excellent customer service. We will definitely be coming back!

First time here, definitely not my last! Enjoyed a delicious super breakfest burrito with chips. Salsa bar provides variety and convenience. Reasonably priced, the burrito itself was $15! To top it off the staff is super friendly and respectful!

I admit I went looking for something not on the menu, and when I saw the place I chickened out at asking. It was busy… normally a good sign, except when you’re trying to bend the rules. My Google search suggested I could get chili relleno burritos there. They weren’t on the menu. The chili relleno plate looked good, and reasonably priced, so I ordered that. The relleno was perfect. Sauce, consistency of the egg coating, charring of the chili: all perfect. But the beans that came with the order were creamed, which I dislike immensely. The rice was seasoned nicely, but was pretty unremarkable otherwise. Finally, the ambiance was sports bar, with tall, narrow tables and barstools.
So if that’s what you’re looking for: all sports bar with excellent Mexican food (except the creamed beans… I just can’t) you might give Taqueria Los Mayas 5 stars. I would certainly eat there again, BUT I’ll ask if they’ll make me a chili relleno burritos first

Very good San Francisco, Mexican food, efficient friendly service, clean lots of space for eating inside, and reasonably priced, with a salsa bar.
Pro tip: this might be obvious to most, but just so you know do not place your order on the kiosk by the cash register and expect to pay for the order with cash. It only takes credit card, and you’ll need to start your order from scratch with the cashier if you want to pay with cash.

Over priced and poor quality. Small portions. Ordered a carne asada panucho. The meat is poor quality. Was more like ground beef and had no flavor. The pozole is tiny and $16. $6 for a salsa size cup of guacamole. See photos.

They have good burritos and a large selection of salsas. I have been here multiple times and their quality is pretty good. Large vegetarian selection, soy chorizo, tofu, and beans sub.

It was so salty it was almost painful but I still finished most of it. I was gonna give it 4 stars but then I remebered how salty it was. I’m not familiar with the different styles of Mexican foods but I really liked how many different toppings were on the nachos. I never had nachos with carrots in them. If they used like 3 times less of the salt then I would give them 5 stars. The chochinitas was kinda dry but not the worst.

Fabulous fresh dishes, reasonably priced and served with a smile. We got the Wednesday special (two panuchos for $10) and the Ensalada yucateca with pollo verdi. They were both large and delicious, and I especially enjoyed the fresh corn and mandarins in the salad. After we finished, I asked about one of the dishes I hadn’t tried (pollo motuleno), and the lovely Lupita gave me a small complimentary taste and told me all about how it is made from achiote. I’ll be returning again soon!

This is a nice spot for Mexican amid all of the enticing Asian options in the neighborhood. Helpful staff, very good burritos. I also recommend the guacamole.
