    Deep Fried Ice Cream
    Sabrina S.

    Heard about new management and an upgraded menu. I was very pleased with our food last night! They also deliver now. Awesome! Don't skip the deep fried ice cream. It was delicious!

    I ordered a taco salad. What the hell is this? A normal mediocre taco salad has crisp lettuce, tomatoes, ground beef that is browned, maybe cheese, some rice or beans, pics de gallo. I had to add my own tapatio and tortilla chips. What they have me was weird, gray, mushy, and bland as all get out. No, please. Get out. Get out of the Mexican food industry. Don't go here unless you're unbelievably desperate and can't go into town to make your own. Maybe try Tapatios. I pray that the rest of my night goes well...

    I'm pretty sure you guys can all see this huge black curly hair in my hamburger!!

    We ordered to go and when I got home and opened my box there was this long black curly hair ! So I took my hamburger back and got a new one! Well I got hole to take a bite of that one and it also had a hair all in the cheese ! Then I take a drink of my soda and there is a hair in the lid !! With everything going on right now you'd think we'd be a little bit more sanitary!

    We stopped in after visiting scicon this afternoon. The server/waiter was very pleasant, attentive and made sure we always had enough food and drink. Checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. We got a free order of fries due to a mix up in the kitchen. All the staff was friendly. The food was very good. If we are ever back that way we will definitely be stopping in again.

    I LOVE La Cocina de Doña Maggie! My friend and I were heading south back down from a trip to the…read moreSequoias and were hungry for breakfast. We're SO glad we came across Doña Maggie's! There is ample parking in their lot once you arrive. The entrance and decor is BEAUTIFUL--so many lovely cultural pieces. The place is filled with the sounds of wonderful Mexican music playing in the background. The service is FANTASTIC. Our waitress was kind, quick, and very friendly. You get chips and salsa as soon as you're seated. My friend and I ordered breakfast burritos, which came with bacon, ham, cheese, egg, and potatoes. FIRE burrito! Also, they come with two salsas--one is delicious and one is SPICYYYY. Beware! Their agua fresca de pepino y limón was refreshing, their restrooms are clean, and you can even purchase other wares from their store. Overall, a GREAT choice to stop at if you're in Porterville or passing through. :)

    Stopped by La Cocina de Doña Maggie and decided to go with 3 tacos gobernador. The tacos were…read morejuicy, not dry like you sometimes get elsewhere. You could tell they were made fresh, and whomever is the cook, knows how to season well. Service was on point and super attentive. They checked on me at least 4 times to make sure everything was good, which honestly made the whole experience even better. It's rare to see that kind of consistency in small local spots. The only thing I felt was missing was a more savory salsa to match those tacos. The one they gave me seemed like a salsa de chile de árbol -- spicy with good flavor, but I wished I had an extra salsa option that leaned more on the smoky or tangy side to balance out the richness of the gobernador. The place was quiet, comfortable, and relaxed -- no loud music or chaos, just a good spot to sit back and enjoy your food. Definitely worth a visit again. Next time, I might ask if they have any different salsas to try with those tacos.

    A brief update on my review. Unfortunately, I need to go down a star. I ordered a torta through…read moreDoor Dash and although the bread was great, the carne asada meat was chopped way too small the full flavor didn't come through. I also went with a friend and she tried to order three different (normal) dishes but they didn't serve or were out. She ended up getting pozole like me. It was good but appeared a bit watered down. Maria was there after we started eating and she was as pleasurable as before.

    Run run run for these tacos! While looking on DoorDash last night I came across this place and I…read morehad not seen it before nor had I ever eaten there so I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the taco salad with chicken as my protein, chips and salsa, a carne asada taco, and a large cherry Pepsi. First of all the taco salad was very good it was so tall that the container could not close all the way but the container was secured with a DoorDash sticker. It was very filling and delicious the shell was light and crispy and tasted fresh not that heavy oil taste some have. I loved the salsa as well it wasn't overly hot although I do like really hot things this had a nice refreshing flavor and definitely something I enjoyed. The drink was great usually when you order a large it's not really all that big but this one was and had nice ice as well but the absolute star of the meal was the innocent looking taco. Now I have eaten a lot of tacos during my lifetime as they are a favorite, and this one didn't look much different than dozens and dozens of others that I've eaten in my lifetime however this was absolutely hands-down the best taco ever!!! First of all the tortillas were fresh and warm and soft and delicious but the carne asada was unlike any I have had before that it was super tender (and yes I hate that word) but that's the best way to describe it had a great flavor as well. Super super fresh and again I just loved every bite of it. Normally when I place an order with multiple items like this there's usually one thing that I like and the others are OK but this entire meal was delicious and noteworthy. I am already planning my next visit and I am definitely going to recommend this to everyone especially anyone wanting a good taco. My only regret is that I did not find this place sooner and I do wish the DoorDash menu offered more of the items that are available in the restaurant as I looked at the menu online and they have a lot of really good looking things that DoorDash did not have listed. The menu online did say they deliver so next time I'm going to give them a call and see if I can get everything I want that way instead of doing the DoorDash menu. Highly recommended!!!
