    Ground Beef Tacos
    Robert H.

    Fast Friendly service. Food served hot. BEST Ground Beef Tacos I have ever had in a restaurant. Great Rice & Beans. I had the #1 The Chili Rellenos was made with canned Ortega chili's but they would tast much better if they have been rinsed first. Next time, and I will definitely be back - I'll have the Tacos, Rice, & Beans. Definitely recommend

    Potato tacos. They don't have them listed in the menu. I asked for potato's instead of any meat and they delivered.

    Driving through Springville, you might mistake the outside of this restaurant for a steakhouse instead of a Mexican restaurant. The inside looks like a log cabin, which I love, but again, doesn't look like a Mexican restaurant. Who cares? I love this location, because it's smaller, not as loud, and the average patron is older (and more mature it seems) than the one in Porterville. The waitresses are all friendly and make sure you have everything you asked for and if you need anything else. The food is always good, although sometimes the tacos can be a little greasy. Sometimes. That's my only complaint. We like to frequent this restaurant for the atmosphere and for the food as well.

    Barbacoa tacos plate comes with rice and bans

    We stopped here for brunch, my husband had a combination fajita plate and i had the barbacoa tacos.. i have to admit i was expecting the small size tacos but these were regular size tortillas!! Omg!! They were delicious and I havent had rice that tasty in years! Thank you guys for such a pleasurable experience

    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.

    The location has a large parking lot. They were fairly busy on a Saturday morning/afternoon. There…read morewas only 2 wait staff so the service was okay. The food was really good. I wouldn't say it was the best Molcajete I've ever experienced it it was good. What was really good were the beans and homemade corn tortillas. Those were the highlights. Plenty of seating, extensive menu options, and a large parking lot. Plus it's close to the freeway. I'd recommend giving them a taste.

We also decided to stop by again after our trip to Sequoia the day after lol. Both times, we ordered the same thing. I ordered the shrimp taco combo with an horchata and he ordered the quesabirria combo. The horchata was honestly really bland the first time around. Almost like cinnamon water. The tacos were very okay too. The shrimps were deep fried in a batter. Somehow though a couple of the shrimps were raw on the inside. The rice and beans were really good though. The quesabirria was good both times. The meat was really tender and juicy! The consume was my boyfriend's favorite part. It was ultimately the reason why we came back the second time lol. He said it was very flavorful while not being too heavy or greasy. The second time we came I was a little, disappointed in the service, which is the reason why I'm giving it 3 stars. While the tacos and the horchata came out phenomenal this time, I was kind of shocked to see that there was barely any shrimp in my tacos. I overheard the cook shout to the cashier that there was only enough shrimp for one taco. She went over to him and I honestly waited until she was going to come to me and ask if I maybe wanted something else for my second taco. I would have very easily said yes just give me a fish taco, but she never asked. I honestly thought maybe they figured it out... To my surprise the tacos had barely any shrimp. So they had decided to skimp out on my food... It's fine! We were only just stopping by. Just kind of sucks that happened lol.

    Saw this place on the way home from the sequoias. Worth the stop wish one was closer to us.read more

    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!!!
