    1lb of carnitas
    Dulce R.

    I'm a huge fan of carnitas & found this spot on yelp. The service was okay, there's a window to order & another to pay. They weren't super welcoming but they were at least nice. I got a pound & asked for lemons & salsa on the side. The charged me .75 for a small salsa & $1 for lemons. I feel like these should be complimentary. Other than that, the food was good. Carnitas tasted fresh! I paid $14 for a pound & another $2 for extras.

    Took a chance, and so glad I did. They were open, I ordered my favorite chicken and mole plate. Was not disappointed. Small secluded place, but the food was deeeeeelicious! And, oh! The tortillas were yummy too. Authentic food. Good food. I'm old town, Corona.

    Lovely chuletas in a semi spicy verde sauce.  Awesome flavor.  So good I stole some for my equally awesome carnitas.

    You cannot go wrong here. The name exemplifies what you should order here. Carnitas. Unless you also happen to love pork chuletas. In which case, I say, order both. This place has been in existence for quite some time. I just failed to discover it until I found my Yelp friend, Rose, had beat me to the punch. I was suffering from a severe case of overMexicanfooditis and was temporarily blinded. The carnitas was incredibly tender and moist, with just the right amount of fat to make it slide easily down my throat. Tasty stuff and done so right. The chuletas, pork ribs simmered in a verde sauce, were a cut above as well. The sauce was so flavorful, I was coveting it from afar. After a respectable amount of time, I convinced him to let me spoon his sauce over my carnitas, which I already loved, and I discovered I was definitely. in. love. with. this. place. So there you have it. Another small Mexican cafe in a town already inundated with fast food Mexican food. But this one rises to the top, deserves to be noticed, if only for those two dishes. And the beans aren't bad either.

    Nasty place you get 1 oz de beans whit a lot water and dry carnitas  so nasty and dirty  place

    Aww cute little bone chip!

    Always a popular spot at the GWC swap meet, decided to give it a go. Ordered 3 carnitas tacos and a carnitas quesadilla. The tacos were super dried out. Tough, chewy, and tasteless. They came with no salsa. Got some salsa and it tasted like crushed tomatoes with zero spice. Found 3 bone chips in my tacos. Not very appetizing. Super disappointing. Perhaps the street tacos next time but the carnitas are

    This place gives you a mom and pop feeling, you can tell it's family members running this place. Menu isn't too fancy, just the basics to make this place good. Tacos, burritios, tortas, quesadillas and some plate offerings. All i order was a pound of carnitas for $8. Good flavor, nice and greasy. Something good for the morning after a night of drinking. My only issue with this place is that they don't give you onions, cilantro, salsa and tortillas with your bulk order. Most places I've been to before usually give you everything included in the pricing. This place will sale you the onions/cilantro for $2 and the salsa for $4. Overall good food, I will be back to taste the menudo and the rest of their offerings.

    I ordered the octopus and a steak burrito via Grubhub around 2pm on Cinco de Mayo…read more It took a bit longer than predicted but it was worth the wait. The octopus was tender and delicious with a heat that built up slowly. The bed of greens was a little over dressed but delicious. The burrito was very good. It sat for a bit while I ate the octopus so it got a little soggy. It had a lot of steak much to my surprise. The presentation of both dishes was exceptional. In my experience, Corona doesn't have many restaurants that produce high quality food and deliver. I'm glad to have discovered Maiz Cocina. I'll be back.

The bartender took our drink order, and we received chips and salsa, which were very good. However, the bartender seemed a bit distracted, forgot about us, even though it wasn't a busy night. We decided to give it another chance since so many people seem to enjoy this place. We visited again, and we ordered a few drinks, received chips and salsa, then placed our food order. We waited for a bit and ordered a few more drinks. Unfortunately, after waiting about an hour, we never received our meal or any update on its status. We eventually decided to close out our bill. At that point, we noticed we had been charged for the meal we never received, as well as drinks that were not served. When we brought this to the bartender's attention, they raised their voice and told us we were wrong, which caught us by surprise. I understand that things can get busy, but a lack of communication and being spoken to disrespectfully is unacceptable. A simple check-in or update would have made a big difference. Based on this experience, we're unlikely to return. We really wanted this to work, but maybe you had to be regular customer to get better service?! We tried, but this place is a solid No for us.

    Alright, been here enough time to say my thoughts…read more Upon walking in I'm always greeted. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming. Their speciality is obviously tacos. It's always clean and well taken care of inside as well. Let's get to the food. My favorite here is the Al pastor. Seasoned and marinated to perfection. It's by far some of the best I've had in Cali. Never under or overcooked. It's just right! Asada. Again, marinated to perfection. Perfectly cooked. Never over cooked. The flavor is there. They've got a great salsa bar. Onion & cilantro Red and green salsa ( red is the best here ) Plenty of lemons They've even got grilled onions and jalapeños at the salsa bar. Overall would I recommend this place? Absolutely. The food and staff is great here. Th quality is excellent! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. At least not with the asada or pastor. I have not tried the other things on the menu.

I was browsing while we were driving and saw they had a solid 5-star rating, so I convinced my husband to make a quick detour. ​Honestly, they deserve 10 stars! The food is incredible. My husband couldn't stop talking about how good it was the entire time he was eating. He went with the birria burrito and I tried the birria ramen (non-spicy). They do not skimp on the meat at all, and the flavor is just amazing. ​The burrito was huge and only $12, which is such a steal. Plus, the restaurant is spotless and the horchata is delicious. We're already planning to head back next week to try the tacos! Service so good! They deliver to our table. Casual ambiance

The quesabirria was a one of my favorite things on the menu, one of the best I've had. Everything I had was top-notch! One of the best parts was the salsa bar.

The birria was good and the consomé had some unique flavored in it but was not as flavorful as I've had in other places. The tacos had a great crisp too. The burrito was pretty good, I got pastor and it was flavorful. Overall Tacos Puro Jalisco is a great spot and my wife and I would have no problem going back.
