    Carnitas burrito
    Christy C.

    Holy wow!! We stopped by Maximo's for a quick lunch and boy were we pleasantly surprised!! Great tasting and huge portions! The store was nice and clean with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Their chips are clearly homemade there and were fantastic! Carnitas burrito was flavorful and huge. And the carne asada nachos were absolutely spot on...lots of meat, nice amount of beans, fresh slices of avocado...so good! Definitely will return.

    Chicken Cabbage Burrito Bowl (sans salsa)

    Love the chicken cabbage bowl! Servings are huge. Takes awhile however so if you are in a rush, plan ahead!

    3 salsas.  From top to bottom, verde, roja and Jalapeno

    Porterville has an abundance of Mexican restaurants. So there are many choices. When Maximos first opened, the prices seemed high. So after a visit or two I ignored this place for years. Today, when looking on their website, the prices seem reasonable and I gave it another try. They have a 3-taco deal for $5.99 on their website. I called for a take out and they charged me $6.99. Not too much of a big deal in the big scheme of things. I had the carne asada with everything on it. I asked for all 3 salsas. There was an jalapeno cilantro that had a good kick. Both the salsa roja (red) and salsa verde (green) were also superb in taste, mouth feel and appearance. The carne asada tacos were also very good. Excellent service. I will be going back. See my pictures.

    This is the best mexican food we have had in a while. We arrived around 1:30pm on a Sunday. Staff were very friendly, even though it was super busy! We ordered a quesadilla (carnitas), asada fries, 2 sodas, chips, salsa, and guacamole and tres leches cake. 31 dollars out the door and I must say, the happiest 31 dollars I've spent in a while. This food is top notch, I mean moaning from satisfaction between bites GOOD! So many flavors I could feel the dopamine pumping in my brain! The carnitas quesadilla was the best carnitas I've had in years. Super cheesy, greasy, but in a good way. The carne asada fries were crispy, the carne asada cooked to perfection. The chips were fresh and crispy and the guacamole salsa was so good we went back and purchased more after the meal. The portions are large enough to fill a grown man's belly. My wife couldn't finish hers so we brought it home. It was so good she went back inside and tipped the staff. We will be coming back again and again, guaranteed.

    Tapatio Man!

    This place was really great. I'm supper impressed with the quality of meat. They put a good portion of asada in my asada fries and it wasn't junk meat, I didn't find a single piece of fat or grizzle on my plate - it was ALL meat. The fries were super crispy, everything was well seasoned and very fresh. There were signs posted that prices had gone up because meat has gotten expensive, but I didn't think it was at all unreasonable for what they gave me. I was only visiting town so won't be able to visit often, but I'll be back!

    Carnita quesadilla with a sharp piece of bone in it

    Placed an order for pick up and was missing all the salsa for our food, including the chips and salsa let alone was $5.49. Called to verify and was told the carnitas quesadilla doesn't come with any sauce/salsa anymore. So I was just expected to eat dry ass meat with cheese and plain lettuce and tomatoes on the side? I had to use some of my co workers sour cream from the fridge at work to balance out the dryness. Hung up, but then noticed shortly after the receipt says otherwise. Called again, but this time they didn't answer. It was 10-15 mins prior to closing. Then, as I'm eating into my 2nd piece of quesadilla, I bit into something sharp and pulled this huge piece of bone out of my quesadilla! I almost died! Ruined my entire meal!!! Sorry, but never ordering from there again.

    Update your hours and your workers. The gentleman there are RUDE!

    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.
