I'm surprised I haven't gone here sooner with how close it is to home! We went here the Saturday…read morebefore Mother's Day and there was an approx. 30 minute wait time which was nice because I was expecting longer. After ordering our food, it took around 5-10 mins to get to the table and holy moly the portions are big! We ordered the chilaquiles, tres leches pancakes, and breakfast burrito, and each portion is entirely sharable. The interior is very nice and there are spots outside to take cute photos. I would say the only thing I didn't like was their strawberry horchata which I thought was wayy too sweet; however, I just took it to go which filled two (2) entire to-go cups and diluted it at home, making approx. three (3) servings TLDR: the food is great, horchata is a bit sweet, portions are large and sharable, and the atmosphere is trendy and cute!

This kind of Mexican restaurant is right up my alley. Great food, stiff drinks, excellent service, and lively atmosphere. Oh, and plenty of chips and salsa!! I had the two tacos combination platter (one beef, one chicken) w/ a skinny jalapeño margarita. Along w/ guacamole to accompany the chips and salsa for the table - this meal was incredible. I could've walked out and gotten hit by a bus and would've been happy that this was my last meal. We were seated upstairs and it was a little more intimate and cozy w/ low ceilings (look out tall people!). Service was so on point, we never had to rubberneck once, the servers were always present without being overbearing. Not sure if there is dedicated parking for the restaurant, but there was plenty of street parking during Sunday afternoon. I think I found my new favorite Mexican spot in the Covina/Azusa area!!

The evening we went the restaurant was 80% full. The staff greeted us when we walked in. I believe one of the gentleman might have been the owner himself. He was super welcoming . The restaurant has great decor all over the restaurant and a lively atmosphere. The staff that helped us were all attentive and personable. We were given chips and salsa shortly after seating. I love the locations that offer fresh crispy chips. I ended up ordering one of Desebrada Shredded Beef Burrito (wet) and they told me I could do the half red and green sauce. I also ordered one of the Chicken Dorado (crunchy taco). My wife ordered a taco combo plate and Jalapeño Vodkarita. The portions were generous and abundant. My burrito was hefty! I enjoyed every bite of that wet burrito. Saucy and full of deliciousness. The affordable pricing is great because of the amount of food. The taco was fine, but I'd got with a burrito again since you can take the rest home. My wife enjoyed her food and drink. We had never been here in all these years. Max's Mexican Cuisine will be on our list again when are craving some Mexican food. ( ^_^)b

There's a private parking lot with plenty of parking. Her entire team dined together. The team ended up taking up the patio area. When you walk in, turn right. You must order at the register before taking a seat. Pricing is reasonable. Food is decent. The guac could use some salt. The chips could use less salt. My sister and I each ordered the enchilada plate served with beans and rice. She ordered chicken and I ordered beef. We both got red sauce and a side of guac to share. After ordering, you pick up your chips, guac, and drink. Then sit somewhere and they'll bring you your food. The food was good. However, I was disappointed that it only came with one enchilada. It was alright, but doesn't taste authentic. I really wanted tacos, but I saw on Yelp their tacos are not authentic. They're served in a fried tortilla which is very American. Would I return? Sure. Decent food. Decent price. But it won't blow your mind.

They do not skimp on their portions and actually care how their food looks at the time of service. This place makes sure their food looks nice, but don't charge you extra for that. Service: 5 out of 5 their employees are very pleasant and professional. They gladly answer all your foodie ingredient questions. They are more than accommodating. You will see, they are genuinely nice. As far as the ambience goes, for certain a stro g 4 out of 5. Nothing can be more comforting than to sit back and relax here. They have hi tables woth stools, as well as the hybrid style booth/table combo. Fans are always circulating and it is definitely not too stuffy. They do have music playing in the background, but it is not too loud like many places do. We have been back to try new and different dishes....all have been very tasty. A smaller and cozy place to have a nice meal. I can tell they cater to the local college students and offer a student discount. ***Hidden Bonus: their café de la olla is DELICIOUS! You can twll they make it fresh regularly and do not let it sit. It is by far waaaaay nicer than what they serve anywhere in the area. We would drive to get a nice cup in Monrovia, but this café de la olla beats it hands down. It is NOT bitter, nor is it over sweetened! So.etimes we swing by for a To-good cup. We recommend this place for everything: nice food served with a friendly smile.

The bacon was under cooked. The chilaquiles were just okay. The asada was bland. Husband ordered the torta de milanesa but they were out of that so they sent him the asada torta instead. He was unhappy about that. He could have chosen something else if given the choice. The torta was all bread with very little meat. Bread was not even toasted. It was dry. Not the worst torta he's ever had he said but didn't care to return and order this ever again or anything else from the menu. daughter had the Nutella pancakes. She liked them. I tried a bite and I thought they were okay. Nothing special. We won't be returning. This place left much to be desired

There are two Fridays left if you want to partake in the seasonal dishes offered during this time, please bookmark this restaurant. We ordered the two Specials of the Day (Fri., 3/28/25): 1. Tortitas de Camaron con Mole with Nopales and Roasted potatoes (ground breaded Shrimp into small Patties with cactus) $15, served with thick handmade corn tortillas. 2. Capirotada (bread pudding with peanuts & raisins in syrup) $10. We also had Enchiladas in Poblano Mole. Each entree included a cup of Fideo soup, a side of rice and beans. I could not resist the Cafe de Olla (Mexican coffee brewed with a cinnamon stick), this was served with two cookies in a ceramic mug. This is how you would be served in someone's home. I was stunned when they brought it to me. The food was authentic, delicious, good portions. You will love how the food is plated and presented in ceramic dishes (pottery). We didn't finish and brought the rest home for dinner. I literally was transported back to my childhood, when my grandmother would cook these two same dishes during Lent. The hospitality, decor and service makes you feel like you're home. The food restrictions is part if a religious tradition, but anyone can eat these foods. There are only two Fridays left, mark your calendar now. Enjoy and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!

I've really enjoyed my meals and the service (we even had a small spill on the table). It's a smaller restaurant but they do an excellent job on serving you throughout your visit and have some good music playing. You'll start off with chips and salsa which is good not too spicy. Food has been excellent! My daughter kept saying delicioso (Can you say delicioso? *Dora the explorer*) haha. We've made multiple trips since our first time. Carne en su juego had a great tasting salsa. Sopes had a nice crunchiness to them. Chile relleno was very good and juicy. The enchiladas were all very good. One of the things I've enjoyed are tbe hand made tortillas, it's hard to find now a days. They have aguas frescas and it's actually fresh so they may only have one or two each day. Cafe de Olla was good, sweet but I like it (sweet tooth in me) and comes with a cookie. The baño aka restroom also has a changing table (yes no changing the baby on my lap!). We will continue to enjoy the food, service and Mas despacito. God bless

We came in approximately about 5 minutes before 12 pm, and the female person kept telling us. We close in 45 minutes. And she kept repeating it. We close in 45 minutes. She was adamant about letting us know they close in 45 minutes. We all decided to go ahead and leave because we didn't like the tone of her voice and the time constraints. I wouldn't have given this rating if we werent treated so rudely. She could have been more professional about informing clients about the closing time and not the way she did. In addition, please update your website.

I judge Mexican restaurants by the frijoles and corn chips. If you can't get that right..... The chips came out cold and stale, yesterday maybe, and the Pico de Gallo had little to no spice. Thank the Lord for Tapatio. My plate came out and it was just runny chile verde and beans. I asked where the Huevos Rancheros were as it was not under the chile verde as expected. Back to the kitchen where I believe some of the chile verde was removed to make room for the additional item. I should have had it brought out on a separate plate. lesson learned. The beans were authentic and tasty. My friends carne asada nachos looked great and filling. A bit of a dive with plenty of parking. Empty at 9am on a Thursday. I doubt I will return unless it's on a weekend to review the Menudo and pata.
