Overview

Taco Mazama on Byres Road is a quick-service, build-your-own Mexican counter in the West End, part of a small Glasgow chain that has since opened a Southside branch (Taco Mazama South). You pick a burrito, bowl, tacos, quesadilla or nachos, then a protein, rice, beans, salsas and extras. It is popular with students and West End lunchers for a fast, filling meal; portions are big (the King burrito is a running joke in reviews). Reviewers mention a student discount and a lunch deal of burrito, soft drink and tortilla chips. Extras such as guacamole, chipotle tofu and brown rice cost more, so a loaded order adds up. Vegan and vegetarian options are a real strength: several vegan bases including chipotle tofu, vegan guacamole and a vegan mac and cheese. In-person reviews are mixed. Some say the room feels worn, and there are occasional complaints about salty or lukewarm food. Delivery ratings are much higher, and it stays open late at weekends for a post-pub bite.

very cozy mexican café. so, i ordered a king size burrito without noticing their board for burrito challenge winners 😂 their portion is MASSIVE. so for one person regular or even small size is okay 👍 and they have separate discounted burrito options for students as well ✨ just opposite to Pret (Byers Road). and I loved their Mexican lemonade so I will highly recommend that with your burrito ✅ overall.. I liked it🌯

Good quality tacos for a place so far from the Mexican boarder. However, Im not going to remember it as one of the best Mexican feeds I’ve ever had, left still a bit hungry, the atmosphere was a little lacking, and the staff, although friendly enough, seemed a little bit sick of their shift.

I've eaten at all three (now two, RIP) taco mazama locations in the city, and they are consistently wonderful. I love that the king size burrito is made with TWO giant tortillas I love the combination of rice, beans, salsa and meat. its hard to get this combination at taco bell, and you'd pay more for less I love how delicious everything is. If i'm passing by any of their branches, i always stop in, taco mazama is my bestie I have a few suggestions though: 1. There's a fruity kind of salsa which is only at one of their locations and not at the others, this seems odd, why not have a consistent menu at all of them? 2. Stronger chillies! I'd love to be able to have green finger chillies added instead of jalapenos 3. A hotter salsa. I love the tomato and chipotle, i'd love it more with like a bit more chilli powder in it I could definitely go for a higher spice level, but still taco mazama is wonderful, reasonably priced, and great quality, can't fault it

Popped in here to try the soft tacos and burrito. Tacos were delicious. Small matter of improvement for the chain as a whole would be to offer soft corn tortillas and not just wheat, but this review isn't taking that as part of tbr experience. Food was good and service was quick. Salsa tasted like it was chopped tomatoes poured out of a tin, but everything else including the guac, meat and rice tasted good and fresh.

Just received the wettest, soggiest burrito with half the ingredients missing on Uber Eats, literally went in the bin, inedible. Embarrassing tbh.
