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...
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.
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.
