Excellent spot! The vegan Beyond-meat tacos are very tasty and have a generous amount of filling.

We walked in here 5 minutes until closing, after driving 250 miles on a road trip. Many taco shops are dicey that time of
night, cue cold questionable burrito. Maiz Picante Taqueria served us fresh tacos that were out of this world at 10pm. Honestly, better than anything I have eaten at fancy taco shops in Mexico City when I lived there. The salsas are on point. The birria so tender and juicy, the chicken tacos con papas, que sabor!!! Might be my favorite spot in all of CA.

I’m from TX and honestly we need to take notes from CA for Mexican food like this. I got the Alambre with Al pastor which was melt in your mouth phenomenal. The meat you can tell is shaved off. Lots of flavor with all the meat, mozzarella cheese, veggies. Amazing flavorful sauces. I only gave 4 stars because the location was kind of hard to get to with the construction. I’ll be lucky if we didn’t get a nail in the rental.

Feels like a lot of attention was put into cooking the food and making sure the flavors were right. Accompanying sauces were very good!

Manny the owner is really genuine and passionate about everything he does. The quality of the food is incredible and the salsas are so good (the green and the orange are my favorite) Him and all of his employees are kind and happy to be there. I care about supporting local businesses these are great people making great food and they are open until 10pm.

Consistently great tacos and aguas frescas. It’s also one of the few Mexican places in town with vegan options. The atmosphere is clean and modern, and the people who serve the food are friendly.

Ler me to begin by commenting the food and its exceptional quality.
Having frequented numerous taco and burrito establishments, I must say that the meat quality and overall food quality are truly outstanding.
I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with the cuisine as far as the food quality.

However, regarding the service, it did not quite meet my expectations. Furthermore, the atmosphere within the dining area wasn't particularly pleasant. I would certainly recommend this place for takeout or catering, but I wouldn't necessarily suggest dining in.
I highly recommend opting for pickup as the dining area is very small and not meant to be for dining.
