918 Maples Tacos & Cantina

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Why did it take us so long to try 918 Maples?! We absolutely loved it. The salsa had the perfect kick — nice and spicy — and the chips were fresh and crispy (always a must!). I ordered the birria tacos and they were so flavorful and delicious. I especially loved the extra sauces — that orange one? So good! The beans were beans, the rice was rice, and the tacos were definitely the star. I also tried the blackberry sage margarita… woohoo! 🙌 It was fantastic. My hubby had the empanadas and he absolutely loved them. Our server was so friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. If you haven’t been yet, you should go now! 🌮🍹"

"Stopped in here after reading the reviews and it did not disappoint. The chips and salsa were great, salsa does have a bit of spice to it, but we thought it was great. Queso was fantastic also. I ordered the Famous Birria Tacos, probably one of the best Birria Tacos I've ever eaten. My wife ordered the Wet Burrito with steak and it was big and delicious. If will definitely stop back by the next time were in the area."

"918 Maple Tacos is a standout spot in Tulsa. We tried the birria queso, birria tacos, and the birria ramen — and every item delivered. The queso was fantastic — rich, savory, and packed with slow-stewed birria flavor that keeps you dipping long after you’re full. The tacos were exactly what you want: crispy edges, juicy meat, and deep, smoky flavor. But the birria ramen completely stole the show. I’ve never seen another place do this, and it’s brilliant. The broth is bold and comforting, the noodles soak up every bit of flavor, and the tender birria takes it over the top. It’s creative without feeling gimmicky — just pure comfort food done right. If you’re anywhere near Tulsa, this place is worth the stop."

"I don’t review many places but the food and service were so exceptional that it was definitely warranted. Our server, Tania, took wonderful care of us from the moment we sat down. I ordered the Queso Chicken with homemade corn tortillas. It came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back!"

"There are few word combinations that get me more excited than “Taco Tuesday.” There are plenty Mexican & Latin cuisine eateries spread throughout Tulsa but they’re not all made alike. I’ve heard of the highly lauded 918 Maples Tacos & Cantina many times since I moved back so I finally decided to try it on August 28th, 2025. Since then, I’ve experienced 918 Maples on different occasions and I’d say that it deserves the high praise. I’ve eaten at 918 Maples atleast 4 times, twice at the food truck (4931 S Union Ave.) and twice at this location. On 8/28, I arrived around 5:50pm. The walls are filled with color & different decorations, from murals to Latin-American art as well as TV’s behind the bar for entertainment. The area is very home-like, compact, with just enough space for walking lanes. There’s only one booth while the rest of the seating is either tables or at the bar. The host podium is at the door immediately upon entrance, I sat at the bar. Their menus are large but not overwhelming. On Tuesdays, tacos are $2 each. This doesn’t include Birria, fish or Shrimp which are $3 or $4 on Tuesdays. My server was Diego, great guy! I ordered 5 Tacos: 2 Birria, 1 chicken 1 Carne Asada and 1 El Pastor. I also ordered a Paloma and a small queso. The meal comes with chips & Salsa, brought out immediately. Their chips are thicker and their salsa is mild. Add a little salt, good to go! I’m a fan of white queso but I particularly enjoyed theirs, worth the $2. The food came out within 10mins, not long at all. Two ramekins of salsa & 4 tacos. Each taco was amazing individually. The el pastor had crispy edges on the meat, the carne asada was soft & delicate while the birria was to DIE for. Only criticism is that the chicken was a little too salty but not terrible overall. As I mentioned, I ordered 5 tacos, queso & a Paloma but only received 4 tacos. I wasn’t upset about the paloma, I could do without. But, I was a little uneasy about being shorted 1 taco, especially since I paid for 5. However, I didn’t fret. I paid the bill & praised the staff because they deserve it! Since then, I’ve returned once or twice. Each time, usually on a Tuesday, the space is decently filled which a sign of a well-run & good quality establishment and the food is just as good. I consistently ordered tacos but I would gladly try their Queso Chicken, Rustic Quesadilla, or Birria Pizza. I’ve had their tacos at their food truck as well and, though the ambiance isn’t comparable, the service is sweeter & the food is just as good. Bummer that their food truck doesn’t do discounted tacos on Tuesdays. Photos here are from 8/26/25, 9/16/25 and 1/6/26. Had it not been for the forgotten taco, this would be a FULL 5-Star review!"
