Food was really good, but there was only two people working so service was a little slow.
The most incredible morita sauce. Try it on a chimichanga, you will not be disappointed. Friendly staff and comfortable seating. Fast service. For Mexican food, this is one of my top picks - period.
Maya's restaurant is a great neighborhood restaurant in Mundelein. First, what I found unique about this place is the variety of orders on the menu. Second, thier tacos are delicious!
It's very hard for my wife and I to enjoy true Mexican food while the kids are forced to choose from a limited menu of cheese quesidillas or chicken nuggets. This place has a full menu similar to I-Hop or Denny's. While we're having our tacos, my one daughter is having a hamburger, while my other is having eggs, bacon and pancakes with her chocolate milk. Everyone is happy!
Not only are their tacos yummy, but they also offer more selections like arrachera, which is different from carne asada, and barbacoa. One of my favorites is the lengua. I usually order the three taco dinner and order one of each. Another unique thing is the salsa/sauces that they will bring to your table with the taco order. Not only will you get the traditional green salsa, but a variety of other flavors and blends. I suggest you try them all.
Atmosphere is neighborhood friendly and parking is small, but street parking is readily available. Next door is also La Luz bakery which sells an awesome rice pudding.
Great food! Bad service! Over charged! When you ask for chilaquiles with steak you ask waiter he says steak extra and menu says $11.99! We were charged basically another meal!!!! Then kid at registered acted like oh well! Seriously we should have been told how much not extra...extra is a couple bucks.
We waited a very very very long time to receive service and the food was OK for the price. The restaurant was understaffed so it was of no one's fault. However, we were taken care of when it came time to pay the bill, so the experience was overall OK.

We ordered waters 3 times and it took about 45 minutes to receive them, sadly. We (2 of us) were splitting a taco dinner. We weren't too hungry, so we decided to go for 3 tacos and rice/beans. The meat in my tacos was a little overdone and crunchy, unlike others I have had. But they were extremely large, filling, and tasty. The chips and salsa (also very late) were tasty. Chips were amazing and the salsa (2) was pretty good, but different.
I give a 4 stars for the whole experience, rating a few days later... But at the time we did not expect it to take an hour and 15 minutes for 3 tacos, especially after a 6 hour drive.
