Taylor Mason is the founder, visionary, and CEO of Taylor's Tacos Chicago. She met her wife, Maya Mason, and together they officially launched Taylor's Tacos Chicago, LLC. 10 years and over half a million tacos later, they continue to build communiTAY one taco at a time.
Taylor was born, raised, and resides on the west side of Chicago. A proud alum of Whitney Young High School and Pepperdine University, sunny California is where she was introduced to street tacos. She came back to Chicago after graduation, and in her spare time she worked to create spaces of belonging for the LGBTQ community. While the events were meaningful, tummies were growling, and she decided to put her Chicago flavor into an LA inspired classic street taco...and Taylor's Tacos was born. This catering company specializes in pick up and delivery, staffed events, and bringing the parTAY wherever you are!
Maya Mason went to the illustrious Chicago Academy for the Arts with a focus on dance and ballet. She went on to Columbia College in Chicago in the hopes of a career in the arts and fashion. She acquired her work ethic from her parents who both had culinary degrees. Maya grew up in her mother's garden, learning how to grow and manipulate her own natural and organic foods. She learned recipes from her father who managed and consulted in a multitude of restaurants like Levy Foods + Demera Ethiopian Cuisine. The science of cooking and the art of food always appealed to Maya.
Taylor and Maya met in 2016, two years after the first Taylor's taco was ever made. Maya brought on her food expertise, unique flavor profiles and front-of- house hospitaliTAY while Taylor took on the back-of- house, business execution, marketing + branding. Together, they officially launched Taylor's Tacos Chicago in 2018. Currently, Taylor's Tacos operates out of a production facility at The Hatchery Chicago and will be debuting the Taco Food Truck in March 2026!
