I was so hungry one day I was browsing the city and came across this hidden gem!! I was a little skeptical because I never heard of this place and I'm very particular about my tacos/food!! The place was clean, the staff was nice, friendly, and straight to the point!! The tacos??? Mmmm didn't disappoint!! I can't wait to go back so I can give a better review with pics!! I took the food to go and when I got home I ate and didn't even get a picture:( read less

Burritos, tacos, and naked (i.e., burrito bowl). Very sizeable portions, fresh ingredients, fast and friendly service. The 10% check-in discount definitely didn't hurt, although prices were reasonable. Choice of salsas was great, larger than a certain franchise located across the street. The franchise across the street has a certain distinct flavor that I don't like, and Blue Maize just tasted like its ingredients, the way I'd expect it to. I didn't feel it was greasy and I'd definitely come back when I'm in the city. read less

Delicious fresh ingredients and definitely a huge portion for what you pay. You don't get that ugh I feel gross and I hate myself feeling after eating it at all. I love the options that they have and it's awesome that they even have Elote! Of course guacamole is extra but cmon when isn't it extra?! It's delicious - it's worth it- can't wait to go back again! Just hate the location but hey very convenient if you're going to watch a broadway play! read less

Basically the same concept but with Minimal lines, friendly service, larger portions, (peppers and onions by default!), And better sauces. You've got two milds, a creamy Chipotle sauce, and then my favorite, the guajillo which is basically pure fire and it's phenomenal. It's the kind of place where people order in Spanish and banter with the workers, so you know it's as authentic as you're gonna get in times square. read less

Chipotle style, but authentic and fresh ingredients. Nice environment, great menu and friendly staff! Blue corn tacos, amazing street corn, multiple salsa options and inexpensive prices. Chorizo had great seasoning too. One of the better meals we had in New York, without spending a fortune. Try this place out, everyone who was with us enjoyed it and we ate for under $12 per person. read less

It's a short walk away and there's always a long line during the lunch hour; sometimes it even goes out the door! But that's because the food is so good!! I always get the flautas and they're the best I've ever had. The workers are always very friendly and the service is quick. Save yourself the headache of a long line and order ahead through Ritual. Highly recommend for great Mexican food! read less

I'm surprised to say this place is equal to or better than Chilpolte. We had two naked burritos which contained fresh tasting ingredients and huge portions.
Their seasoning seems more refined than Chipotle and the quality of ingredients is equal.
The price point is good as well.
Service was friendly.
We had a carnitas and shredded beef naked burritos. Both highly recommended.
They offer regular burritos,tacos,enchiladas and salads.
This is a great choice for quick bite in Port Authority area. read less

Great variety of choices, generous portions, amazing seasoning, and authentic Mexican taste.
I rarely eat chicken when I dine out, but their pulled chicken is in my opinion, one of the best I have tried (it reminds me of my grandma's cooking). But also the pulled pork is amazing, and just about everything else I have tried here.
I love their salads and the salad dressings, from mild to spicy. So many choices!!!
The first time I tried the food I thought I just got lucky that day, but the quality is always consistent, and it has been now over a dozen of visits where I always leave full and happy to go there.
Attentive and kind staff, great food, clean place in the heart of Times Square. Almost impossible to believe. If you are in the area don't think twice to eat here. read less

This is the place for you. This place has amazing food with just the right amount of seasoning on their items. I always get the naked burrito with the tortilla on the side. The ingredients are always so fresh and flavorful. I have been there a handful of times and to be honest every time I visit the food just gets better and better. The guacamole is so fresh and delicious and my favorite part is there chipotle crema. It has the right amount of tangy and spice. Let's not forget the staff in there. EVERYONE IS GREAT WITH AN AMAZING ATTITUDE. It makes you want to come back. They treat you like family there. They are always smiling, always willing to answer questions and explain what the items they sell are. They also rrecommend things you should try based on what you order which is cool too. I don't know why this place has a 4 star and not a 5 star because they truly deserve 10 stars. Thank you very much for the delicious food and continue providing the best customer service to the people that visit this establishment! You guys are doing an amazing job!!! read less

Awesome food, I get it 2-3 times a week. I would much rather have Blue Maiz than Chipotle any day.

Nachos are good too! They bake them with cheese and it's yum. Tip: ask them to put beans after baking nachos, it will save you from nachos going soggy!

The staff was so friendly and quickly prepared the food. Everything was very, very fresh and extremely flavorful! I'm vegetarian, and the sautéed peppers and onions hit different. I also added the chipotle crema sauce because I love literally anything spicy, and it added so much flavor to my meal. The prices were good for what we got, and I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. My only complaint would be that they didn't have extra hot sauce (tabasco, or my favorite, cholula). It's only because I put it on everything. Overall, great experience and even better food. read less

Super fast, super fresh burritos and Mexican salads. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu; it's all pretty satisfying, although I do highly recommend the chicken menuzada- it's bomb.
Burritos are the size of your head and THEN some.
Prices are good for the area. Ordering during lunchtime can be slow, but that's midtown for ya.
Delivery is quick and accurate. Guacamole is fresh and yummy. The beverage selection is lacking, but they do have some Mexican sodas in the fridge and that's cool. read less
