Birria tacos Net +10

“I recently ordered the Birria Tacos from Maiz Taco via Talabat, and I must say the experience was absolutely outstanding. The taste was truly next level – rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The meat was tender and juicy, wrapped in fresh tortillas with a delightful blend of spices that made the dish memorable. It is a bit on the pricey side, but the taste and quality more than justify the cost. From presentation to flavor, everything was on point, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. This is easily one of the best taco experiences I’ve had, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying and delicious meal.”

Sweet potato & black bean quesadillas Net +1

“The Sweet Potato & Black Bean quesadillas were another highlight. Perfectly cooked, they were warm, gooey, and comforting, with the black beans giving a hearty richness and the sweet potato bringing just the right amount of sweetness. I found them more balanced and satisfying than the tacos. The only drawback was the garlic-heavy dip served on the side. While garlic enthusiasts may love it, for me the sharpness was a bit overwhelming and distracted from the delicate balance of the quesadillas.”

Tater tots Net +1

“Brilliant food, tried the fish tacos, tater tots and churro ice cream sandwich. Eacj dish was made with high quality ingredients.”
La tierra tacos Net 0

Mixed feedback

“The La Tierra tacos were the first dish I tried, and they stood out immediately for their creative flavor profile. The combination of roasted cauliflower with cashews created a beautiful depth – earthy, nutty, and slightly smoky, which made each bite feel unique. They were light yet filling, which I appreciated. The only thing I felt was missing was a touch of added moisture – maybe a drizzle of salsa or a creamy sauce – as the tacos leaned slightly on the dry side. A little extra balance in texture would elevate them from “great” to “exceptional.””

Hongo con matcha burrito Net +1

“I had the Hongo Con Matcha Burrito and it did not disappoint! I definitely love it. Burritos are always filling for me. So when I ate it at around 2pm, it's enough for me to last the entire day. Didn't even need to eat dinner.”

Chicken quesadilla Net −1

“The chicken quesadilla was just awful. The chicken was incredibly tough and definitely not fresh. A pity as the overall flavor was good but reckon they’re trying to save by using cheap low grade chicken.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Try birria. Start with the Birria Tacos and consommé pairing; it is the clearest recurring recommendation in the reviews.

Go off-peak. For faster service, try a quieter daytime visit; one reviewer specifically reported fast service then.

The Bottom Line

Maiz Tacos is a casual Mexican restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with tacos, burritos, quesadillas and burgers on the menu. The strongest reason to visit is the Birria Tacos, especially with their consommé; reviewers also return for the Maiz Guacamole, fish-filled La Gringa taco and churros desserts. The food generally gets credit for fresh tortillas, balanced fillings and proper seasoning rather than an overly heavy, cheese-dominated style.

The La Gringa fresh cod taco is described as light and flaky, while the La Tierra tacos and Sweet Potato & Black Bean quesadillas give vegetarian and vegan diners more considered choices than many taco spots. Portions are not always generous for a very hungry adult, however. Service is usually warm and helpful, with staff offering recommendations and checking in attentively.

The setting is relaxed, cosy and casual, with indoor and outdoor seating, though the restaurant is small and can be difficult to find in its dark corner. Paid parking in Y cluster is one practical option. For the smoothest visit, go during a quieter daytime period rather than relying on delivery at rush hour: one customer waited an hour for a Deliveroo rider and could not reach the restaurant.

Gluten-free diners should ask questions, since meat taco marinades contain soy sauce.
