Taco Maya - Chicago

In town for the weekend, and I get handed a gift card for this place. Within walking distance of where I was staying on State Street, I sauntered down for takeout. Bright, open trendy Mexican fusion, with standards and several chef specials. We just stuck to the basics, burritos and tacos. It being a Saturday night, it was busy, but not packed. Our food took 30min, and I'm not sure why. The carnitas chimichangas was stuffed with shredded pork, but it was slightly dry like it had been premade, not fresh. The beef tacos were cooked freshly, which was supposedly why our order took so long, but should not have caused a huge delay. I would think this place would be able to push a lot of food out for lunches, but they seemed overwhelmed tonight. The food is good enough to warrant a return, but don't expect this to be a quick stop.

Food is pretty good, had a variety of tacos. They all came staggered about 5 min apart. Missing three of the 5 salsas on salsa bar. Would recommendFood: 4/5
