    Shrimp Tostada
    Abraham K.

    Easy 5. Very clean. Salsa bar. Well seasoned meat. Gotta try the shredded beef flautas

    Carne Asada Quesadilla Suprema $7.99 Amazing!!!
    Priscilla D.

    We haven't been here for a hot minute. Decided to grab a quick bite to eat here for lunch since we've been craving nachos. Service here is fast and friendly. They have seating inside but we usually take it to go. Their carne asada recipe has changed cause it use to be really tasty and juicy but this time it lacked flavor and was dry. I'm sad because they use to have the best carne asada in Corona. The chips are crunchy and made freshly there. The guacamole is thick and yummy and not the watery kind. The surf n turf burrito was bomb! It was a good size packed with flavor with the shrimp and carne asada in it! Love the salsa bar and options they have.

    Fish taco
    RocioHdez D.

    We have been coming here for years. Food is always good and portions haven't changed like many places now. Fast and friendly service. Salsa bar. A little bit of everything on their menu even kids meals are big. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. Yum yum yum love the hard shell tacos here.

    Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito

    Was looking for a quick spot to get some breakfast and this place popped up so decided to get their breakfast burrito and it was really good. Paid a total of 12.51, the burrito was ready in less than 2 minutes and it was bigger than what I'm used to getting in other locations. Also inside felt very authentic with the vibrant colors and music in the background. I'd definitely recommend this spot.

    Al pastor nachos
    Rudy R.

    This place is one of the best authentic hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. We had the carne asada burrito and the cheese enchiladas that were both really good. Their red salsa is really good as well as their tortas. There is always plenty of parking as it is in a shopping center. Sometimes there is Mexican music playing.

    Fish taco and 3 rolled tacos
    Haylee S.

    Shredded Chicken Hard Shell Taco, rice & beans, fountain drink
    Mikala M.

    THIS IS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD SPOT EVERRR I haven't ate here since high school (I just graduated college) and the service nor the food has changed! (Which is a great thing) I got the 3 chicken taquito plate, rice & beans, w a fountain drink. It was topped with guacamole, lettuce, & cheese. The tastes of the tacos are like none I've ever tried before AND the rice and beans are perfection! They bring the food out right away, nice & hot! The workers greet you when you walk in & the inside of the restaurant is full of color & culture! Also the screens where you look at the menu are digital led it's so fun to look at!

    Amazing hard shell shredded beef tacos
    L M.

    Amazingly good food here. I loved the hard shell tacos here, they reminded me of Tito's tacos in Culver City. The rice and beans were so good! I mean normally I leave most of the sides but I finished everything. They have a several salsas and they are all good. Service is good too, I highly recommend this restaurant.

    It's ok. Food is pretty basic. Staff is not always welcoming, like many fast food workers robotic.

    Are the beans and rice vegan?

    Traditionally refried beans are made with Lard so you'd have to ask when you get there. But the rice I'm sure is vegan

    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.

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 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.
