I came in the the first time the store was nice and fresh smelled like delicious food. I approached the counter and saw the special of the day taco Tuesday 5 tacos for $11 I'm in. Got an order of carne asada tacos and a aqua Fresca they did not disappoint. Very delicious and flavorful the service was great and the food came out fast! The layout of the restaurant was nice clean and welcoming. read more

Very Mid. They used to stack their burritos and fries . They've Definitely cut back on their portions. Quality and attention to detail has also declined. read more

I wish I could give it more stars honestly. This looks like a nice little spot that has a lot of potential. My family stopped here while traveling through Porterville. The service was great, the employees were friendly and welcoming. The food was pretty bland. It was definitely not bad but not great. I would give this place another chance for sure but I definitely was disappointed. read more

3 words!! Carne Asada Fries! Everything is Delicious! It goes great with your favorite beer!

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. read more

The food is alright, not worth the price. Yes you can go spend money elsewhere and get better quality. Maybe a "one time" thing.

20 bucks for a bowl! Ridiculous! Not even good quality! Called to have some idiot be rude to me! Never again will I eat there! Rude service and poor quality food. read more

This place has the best tripa tacos they make them crispy and tasty . They also have the best shrimp cocktail and shrimp Or fish tostadas. There is limited seating but most people take out. I def recommend read more

I used to like this place, but the last two times I went there. It was terrible , the quality of meat that they are using is the worst, full of fat and in edible pieces.... I just had the Pastor burrito I had to pick out half of the meat because there was just a bunch of giant fatty pieces like they forgot to trim it ... and the pieces that weren't fatty, the meat was so tough and so chewy couldn't really eat it. I basically only got half of a burrito for $16 and it was terrible read more

Got a burrito and they put tomatoes in it and it had fat with the meat inside the burrito and it was $20 not worth it never going to this place again read more

Used to love this place. Then I stopped going because it got overly pricey. Thought I'd give it another chance. I ordered a "special" a burrito with a 20oz drink. Came out to 17 bucks. Their prices are ridiculous and they were stingy with the meat portion. I literally feel like I ate more tortilla and fillings than anything else. Long story short.. it ain't even worth it. That was my last time going there. read more

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. read more

Today a friend of mine and I were feeling tacos for our lunch. I wish we would have just gone with the value menu at McDonald's instead. We placed our order over the phone at approximately 11:48 and were told it would be ready in 20 mins. Well that was a complete lie! We wait there until about 12:15, we were trying to be polite and patient and wait until we couldn't anymore due to our lunch time running out. During our waiting time I'd say a good 4 maybe 5 people received their orders. It wasn't until I approached the counter when another customer stood next to me and that person received their food before me!! I asked the employee if my food was ready and she stated "what did you have in your order" and as she scattered around she said "oh here it is" it had been sitting in a plastic bag. Already bagged and ready to go! Which makes me wonder how much longer we would have waited if we wouldn't have got up and asked ourselves. And just to finish with the cherry on top when we opened our tacos to finally eat I open up my plate to burnt carnitas. I wish I would have taken a picture of this but I was truly infuriated and disgusted with the outcome of this lunch meal. And mind you these 8 tacos we got were $30 something dollars. Please do better when providing customer service. I have worked fast food and I know what it's like to be in a rush but it's better to give the customer a well prepared meal than a crappy one. read more

Food is good. Service sucks. There's better places in town. I like Sabroso in poplar much better...

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. read more

They "run out" of chicken every time I try and order if it's after 7. Last three times I've tried. No more. If you can't adjust or make it better you are choosing to lose customers. 3 people walked out again tonight because of it. read more

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! read more

Authentic Mexican Food cooked to perfection!! Fresh ingredients and great service. I will definitely be back!

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. read more

I went to Maximus on Main, and bought $32 worth of Barbaracoa, when I arrived at home I had three quarters of the container of pure fat(cevo)! Total garbage!!!! I will never spend my money there again read more

Best, freshest Mexican food in town! Their chips are TO DIE FOR, as are their carne asada nachos!!

Great food, small menu. I loved eating here before they raised their prices. Asada fries or chorizo fries are to die for. Unfortunately they raised their prices and I can't justify paying what they want now. read more

Meh... went there today for fish ceviche tostada and sope... it's a bit pricy ($17 for tostada sope and drink). My avocado was old and had brown spots and overall I wasn't too impressed. The place is cute but so far not worth the price. read more

It's really 3.5 stars. Nice clean place. I had good and quick service for my simple to-go asada torta. The torta itself was okay, but not really outstanding. Not the best bolillo, tight on the avocado and beans. The usual minced asada, shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato slices. Subway a la mexicana? read more
