Maciel's Tortas and Tacos

I happened to be staying in the area for a few days and happened across Maciels the first day. In three days I've eaten here four times. But today my mind was blown...! I have never heard of Caldo Tlalpeno soup before, but it looked good when I saw others eating it and so I thought I'd give it a try. And, wow! So amazing. It's like a Mexican Pho with avocado, some white queso, rice, chicken, tortillas and some other amazing things!!!Truly, I've had lots of the things on the menu and they were all great. :)

Downtown Memphis lil tucked away taco place - delicious.Fried tacos - combo 1 steak, 1 chicken, 1 spicy chicken with lettuce, tomato and sour cream. The spicy chicken could use two fried shells, it's a wet spicy sauce so the shell fell apart but overall good. Fish tacos were delicious also.You could dine in, it's small.

Delicioso!!! todo fresco! Vegetales ricos, camarones y carne asada bien sabrosas. Se recomienda. Me encanta el local de downtown.

Did not have anything it said they had on line! Keep up with your inventory! People drive to location just to find out the product is no longer in stock!

First time experiencing this restaurant, and highly likely my last.Food: $10.25 for a fun bite sized salad. Pollo Salad dressing is the one thing that was decent and had flavor BUT that's about it. Service: mediocre Ambiance: casual

Fundio queso was really good. It's very rare to find good queso now at a Mexican restaurant because half the time it's watery Well they didn't water down the cheese at all!The burrito was great it was almost like a breakfast burrito with eggs in it. Wasn't bad. I just wish it had more seasoning in it It wasn't really the best burrito I've had before but it was still pretty ok An the fried tacos I'm not a fan ofNot enough meat or anything in it really. I was eating more taco than what's suppose to be inside the taco. But other than that it was pretty decent and the service was pretty slow upstairs. No one really came to our table except to bring the food I had to get up to get my own bag and to go box and sauces.

Move over BBQ, Memphis has Mexican food!We came here on a weekday during lunch while visiting Memphis. After eating bbq for a few days we needed something different.We walked in to find a line to the end of the door. Once we got to the front we ordered chicken nachos, asada burrito, chicken taco, shrimp taco and pastor taco. Luckily we were able to find a table but if it's crowded I believe that they also have seating upstairs. The chicken nachos were bursting with flavor, and might be my favorite item on the menu. They're layered with beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, carrots, cheese, cilantro, jalapeños and sour cream. The chicken was seasoned and grilled well and shredded to perfection. The chips were crunchy and didn't get soggy and held up to the task of piling up the toppings for the perfect bite.The asada burrito was nice and beefy (both in flavor and size). The egg inside was a nice surprise and shaped in a nice plant that accompanied the shape of the burrito instead of just scrambling it and throwing it inside.The pastor taco was really good. You could taste the spices and the tiny bits of fruit that they add in gives it a nice refreshing bite.The shrimp taco was also very good if you want seafood but if I would choose the other meats over the shrimp if I had to.Now let's talk about the sauce. They have both red and green sauce and while both are good - the green sauce is where it's at and has a kick that not may green sauces have.Coming from Southern California where arguably the best Mexican food is, this place can easily compete. Everything we ordered I could easily see myself ordering again and again.

This is the best food I have had in my 3 or 4 trips to Memphis! On a cold December day, the Caldo Tlalpeño is just spectacular -- loaded with tender chicken, along with some rice, avocado, tortilla strips, and sweet hot peppers. It was just perfect. I added a birria taco, topped that with a little avocado salsa and some red salsa and it was also great. The service was great, friendly and efficient. I was not thinking "great Mexican food" on my trip to Memphis, but I will definitely be back at this place. Maybe tomorrow!

Hands down, the best restaurant in Memphis. The food is always amazing and fresh. The staff is always friendly, it's always a short wait for your food and they give healthy portions. I especially love the Birria tacos.

One of the best Mexican spots in memphis hands down. Street tacos are great, tortas are great, service is fast and friendly. The chips have a good thickness to them. But to me the best thing on the menu is the Tacos De Lechula! A good healthy and tasty option for only $11.
